its nothing special, but i still think it looks nice. the first four pics where the first week i had it, and the last two are current. i still havent found a new header panel or that peice that goes under the taillights. grrr ive done a few minor cosmetic upgrades to it since i got it. more than likely no one will notice.

Not too shabby actually. If you get it lowered and snap some better pictures I think it would look great.

i'm shocked and yet upset.
i seen a 2g honda yesterday with no rust!
and now this car, no rust!

it looks clean, though.
and i like the rims.
any onther mods??

Coy

yeah with all the hassle in lowering it and the bad side effects it unfortunately wont be lowered. from what i hear there is no way to adjust the camber on the 2g, and the only springs are from australia. shipping is more that the parts.

anyways, thanks for the compliments. thjere is few teeny tiny spots of rust on it. hopefully i dont have to drive it in the winter, cause i live in nebraska and its hell on cars. as far as the wheels go im gunna strip and repaint them, and the interior wil be black instead of navy blue someday.

dude more pics i once had a 2nd gen my first car :( more pics!!!! looks awesome!

Coy

i will definately get more pics as anything i do progresses, but first i have to wait for the slow ass nebraskan court system to get done playing with my digital camera.

thanks for the compliments guys. i guess it takes an accord owner to respect an older accord. woot.


BTW, i read through the "flipped lid" post, and now my third engine mod is flipping the lid. im working on finding someone that has some knowledge with carbs to remove the vacuum lines and convert it to mechanical second. other than that theres not really much going to be done to it. pretty much ima keep it stock, and put some good beats in it. ive got a racer project already, this is my cruiser.

Niiiiice car!

If you're missing some trims, just buy them at the Honda dealer. They still carry everything.

If you ever get lowering springs from autralia, get the JDM headlights, that would give it some punch!. I love the 2G accords. They are so rare here in Quebec because of the harsh climate and their bad tendency to rust fast.

Coy

im not so much missing any trim peices, just the clips. i can get them at a junkyard here just gotta wait for the weather to get better.

im workin on the JDM headlights and the lowering springs.

where were you gonna get the springs from here in Australia. Ive looked all over but found jack all. Only ones i know of are the eibach pro kit and the B-G suspesnion kit.

Coy
02-20-2005, 11:43 AM
havent heard of either one of those... what kind of stuff have you found for your 83?

i think ill update my pics.... in my absence from the site i changed the wheels again. found better paint to use on the chrome trim, and the lights. still havent gotten the interior started and the tranny, alternator, and carb have gravestones written for them. the auto tranny has been a headache since i got the car, and due to financial situations i havent gotten a chance to swap it yet.

some photoshop mods, i spent way more time on the side than the front but i like the grill ideas i had done. the wheels are not mine, jsut a pic i found online somewhere. keep in mind the trim pieces around the windows and directly above the black section of the front and back bumper where not on the car when i took the pic, and the refurbishing of the trim is not finished still.

WOW, on that last pic i forgot i had a crappy moniter with really poopy brightness settings. i havent looked at these in a while. lol

Whip looks good. Man, I hate that bogeesh chrome/plastic silver stuff myself. Even the silver badges look gay. Black badges would kill, but I don't put that high on my list. The S hatchbacks (like mine) had black moldings all around, and I am glad! The LX HB's had that chrome insert in the side moldings and it looked horrible. Here's mine http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2166512

I've seen a few header panels for the sedans. The 3 doors have a different header panel and grill. I know mine was fairly easy to get off, but a pain to get back on. TINY hands would have helped installing that bad boy! Looks good.

old blue looks pretty good. alot better than when you first got it thats for damn sure.

as far as comparison goes mine is an LX. i replaced teh peice that goes under the tails and didnt want the emblem there when i repainted it.

as far as the front end goes ive had mine off numerous times and now its slightly rigged so it comes off easier but still stays on. i drove the car around for some time without anything but the bumper support and headlights while i was messin with things. i was thinkin bout getting a header panel and grill peice from a hatch, i think its looks a bit more aggressive but i still may stick with the 4d grill and such and do the minor mods to it before i make a desicion. my header panel hasnt been replaced cause i always forgot about it when i went to the U-PULL lot.

BTW, as for mods its got the fender turnsignal, de-vac'd bay, and for stereo its got infinity kappa series 6.5's in the rear (pain to get mounted), some brand i dont remember int he front doors, and it did have a pioneer stereo.
