Nice and smoooooooth!

Good job on that one. the paint is very well kept. Thats the original paint job right?

Those wheels look like the racing hart ones. What kind are they?

They are Racing Hart C2's and the paint is not original but i am having it painted over the winter S2000 White. I still have a lot to do but its finally starting to look decent. I have been trying not to waist my time and do things right the first time so i put a lot of money just into the suspension alone.

I new those were them. I was thinking about getting those cor my wifes car but decided on the katana c-5.

How much did you pay for paint? You said you want to do things right the first time so you don't waste money but, your having your car painted again.

Don't you like the way the paint came out or is it just that you want something different:)

Looks bloody nice man!

really if you look at it, there is little visible difference between an Accord Coupe and a Prelude....

Im pissed they never released Accord Coupes here,

be cool to import one though, shouldn't be too hard to convert though to RHD....Would prolly cost me about $10,000AUD, if i can find a cheap coupe with a shitty condition engine but in good nick externally and just drop all the shit from my car in....


ahhh if only I had some money!

It's called stealing...you find a car with the right sized tyres, then you jack it up, put it on some bricks, take off the wheels are get away as fast as you can.

It isn't ethical, or morally right and you may go to health.
But it's darn worh it

It was painted before i bought it, and i actually wasnt looking to buy a car but i ran into it and liked it because it was pretty clean for an 89. It worked out well because my other accord was broken into and almost stolen so it came to good use at the time so now im working on getting the other one back on the road. The pics i took quick so i will have some new ones soon. So far for mods i have:

Suspension Tech sway bars
H&R Springs
Koni Red Struts
Cross drilled Rotors
AEM Pads
Optima Batter (yellow top)
Racing Hart C2s 17x7.5 on Nitto 555s
Alarm with paging mode

In the process of
Tints
Relocating battery
Redoing stereo
Hood Lock

Future mods:
Body Kit (mixed)
Custom paint (some body changes)
Engine Swap (B-Series) No B20A thanks to Mike Lee
Custom Interior

This is just some stuff off the top of my head but time will show what gets done but i will keep u posted....Thanks for the comments. One thing i can say to you guys is have a spare car to drive it helps i spent 2 years working on my other accord and it went no where because i was always fixing it but im on my third accord and its making progress but it takes time and money which are hard to come by for atleast me.

LxiCoupe, i got my Nitto Nt555's for $102 or $104 ea with free shipping from TireRack. I was suprised because the cheapest i could find was like $132 plus shipping. I really wanted the 3PC Racing Hart but $1700 plus shipping is a bit steep and then someone would really want to steal them. Car theft is been a big problem so im trying to be careful but their is only so much i can do to prevent it.

wow that is cheap for Nittos. But I'm in Hawaii, so that free shipping doesnt extend to me :( The cheapest tires i've seen so far are the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 in 205/45/17 for $112
