This is me driving a friend's 350z. This is not the one I want to race though.

[AccordEpicenter]

very nice. Different but i like it post more pix :)

[HondaBoy]

cool, i've never seen your car before. looks pretty good. post more pix of the whole car. didnt know you had the interior done on it or had it repainted. nice.

[RiCANACCORD]

Thanks guys...

In the interiors, all that was of that "boring" gray was painted black. The seats are re-done, the floor carpet is new, and the ceiling is new. All of that costed 1000 bucks, and every penny was worth it. I will post now a few interior and exterior pictures. Hope you like them... :)

[BlueBead]

very nice work man! Is that scoop functional?
The interior on that thing is tight!
Nice to see your baby!

[RiCANACCORD]

Thanks buddy... The scoop is non-functional right now. I need to a semi-circle there to stop the drag from the oposing wind force. There is much more I need to do... I Think I will open that scoop when I install the weber and air breather. Right now I'm focusing on finishing the interiors, buying some wheels, and putting a Custom Sound System in the car. That scoop is from a subaru impreza and it was molded to fit our car's hood. After I get a nice set of wheels, it's time to waste some money, and add some ponies!

[86LXItooFAST4me]

i heard some of the best rotory mechanics are in Puerto rico. is it true RX7s are a big thing down there?

[sporkHSP]

After I get a nice set of wheels, it's time to waste some money, and add some ponies!
wait, after you get wheels your going to waste money on adding horsepower??? i hope im reading that wrong, because it seems backwards.

[NXRacer]

DITCH THE WING dude. and are those spinner hubcaps?? :rofl: Interior looks decent, but you gotta change somethings up maing.

[86LXItooFAST4me]

isnt that black car in the back ground an old RX7?

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/3/web/747000-747999/747561_10_full.jpg

[RiCANACCORD]

86LXItooFAST4me yes it is black, and yes they are a big thing here in Puerto Rico. For drag racing most people use old car chassis, such as datsuns, and stuff and then they add a turbo rotary motor. There was a time when Rx7's were at it's best here, but right now, like in everypart of this world, you get to see more tuned cars in the street than anything else. We are speedfreaks here in PR. 90% of cars have altezzas, headers, intakes, and an aggresive pilot inside. It's funny, every time you go to the streets all people are racing each other. That's why I say we could be the best racers around because we are trained in this streets. And it's cool because the police here sucks. Most of them are old mans, which I respect (for real, because I'll probably end being a cop) and if you pass them at high speeds they just ignore you. They'll only stop you if you are going too slow.


sporkHSP I guess I am going to waste money on motor because after all I will not get that carburated car higher than 170, and in the street scene here in Puerto Rico most cars have 250+. But I'll enjoy any mods I make to the motor.

[RiCANACCORD]

Sorry for this message, I posted the message below twice... :ugh2:

[Elijah]

Could be nice but as of right now its a :rice: rocket. I still cant stop lol everybody has altezzas and headers and 250+ hp. You know you can make alot more then 170hp out of your car if you knew anything at all about cars. :thumbup:

[86LXItooFAST4me]

thats it, im moving to Puerto Rico

[Elijah]

LOL you can get a header and intake and altezzas and have 250+ to. What are we all waiting for

[RiCANACCORD]

:ugh2:

[blazin3gen]

:ugh2:

my thoughts exactly loose the spinners yo steelies look so much sexier

[howndamane]

dawg let the man fix his car up like he wants. i think it looks strait, and i agree...i got rims over horsepower when i started working on my car...because its a honda accord man, if i wanted to make a car go fast id get something that would actually be worth it.

[accordlxi2.0]

man those picture's remind me of pureto rico..
my grand parents live there and i plan on visiting them this summer.

man your car looks sweet as hell...but please PLEASE get rid of the wing homey

The thing is that the car was in tinwork and I needed to buy a wing really fast before the car was given back to me. So I went to pep boys and found this one for $80 bucks. Then I went to a place where I saw really hot spoilers, but it was too late. Anyways I love my spoiler.


Thanks for the backup howndamane :hs:

[accordlxi2.0]

ahhh well...it's your car.
but everything else looks great man.
no rust or anything.....i know this is a bit late.. but what's the milege...
and and where in pr are you located.......

[RiCANACCORD]

mileage is 115,xxx, dont really remember. I'm located in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico. You can come anytime to my house, post before you come, we'll meet somewhere, and we'll go to the carrito.net meetings.


Can someone tell me highest HP car in here? thanks people !

[Justin86]

hella clean ;) what you got as of performance mods & suspension?


JustAnotherMike has 140whp NA and his new engine he's hoping for 160whp. I'm will be not to far behind mike here soon with some new projects of mine and I got a 75shot to top it. Any thing more people are using turbo JonnyO he has well over 300whp and running 10's, and Sean was getting like 250whp at 8PSI or something?

[frankie89]

hey ricanaccord my family roots are from BAYAMON PR. so i know what u mean about dem racers!! and btw ur ride is hott and it seems like it will only get hotter once itz done so keep up da good work, and dont think u da only one wit some aluminum on da trunk i also love my spoiler!!

[Neuspeed87lx]

man if you lost that wing, and those hubcaps, and dropped it ...it would look good.... why add rims and all that stuff to your car ? so someone sees it and steals it ? but ive been there too .... never again will any of my cars have their looks changed....except lowered...sleeper style is where its at...... which would you rather have ? a car with a wing,altezza tails, big ol fart can and have it slow as hell.... so everytime you race someone they just destroy you ? or having a stock looking car.... and smoking someone.....and then just lauging at them

[Elijah]

I have 172whp right now.I'm doing a full build and shooting for 350whp

[Neuspeed87lx]

thats what im talking about elijah.... 350 whp would be very...very nice.... ide love to see a 350 hp 3g in action

[Elijah]

Oh you will dont worry. After I hit 172 and drove it. It was like falling in love all over again. Once you hit 4k at wot your pretty stuck in your seat and traction is a problem.
From then I just wanted more lol.

[Neuspeed87lx]

oh yes i know what your talking about ..... that wonderfull drug..... boost

[RiCANACCORD]

Justin, I ain't got suspension and performance mods right now but I'll add them when possible.


Thanks frankie89 - Boricua de Pura Cepa!!

Thanks for the advice

[Neuspeed87lx]

i dont want to sound mean or anything .... just i went threw that stage where i didnt really care about performance.... and i put all this crap into my car just for looks..... then i realized ...why am i doing this the car is still slow.... then my car got stolen ....lol so now all i do is performance.... and im much happier.... and i feel safer cause my cars look like shit .... but there fast

[RiCANACCORD]

yes I know... The thing is that I'm in College and I wouldn't like a rust junk parked between two beasts. I know what you mean and I do agree, but this is my first car, and I want to make it look good. There are much things that have to be done, but little by little I'll finish the exteriors/interiors. Trust me, I will make it fast too, but l8ter. The best anti-theft method for me it's staying home right after 8 PM. I don't like hanging around too late. Puerto Rico is not a safe place, trust me. Highest death toll in the US, we got 10-15 crimes daily, and this island is smaller than Massachusets.

[Neuspeed87lx]

haha thats the best though ! just imagine the looks on their faces when you smoke those road beasts with a rust bucket !

[RiCANACCORD]

True True :)

[Neuspeed87lx]

love the hood scoop

[Elijah]

Sorry about the comments I made. I was having a bad day. I like the color and the scoop. But please go outside and rip those hub caps off. The spioler well thats a personal opion but the caps I bet more people laugh at them then you would think when they see you driving. The car is a nice car though.

u gon do a 5speed swap? its a must bro trust me the auto tranny sucks balls :thumbup:

[RiCANACCORD]

I don't know how to drive a manual tranny... Only in video games... lol, anyways I've got an idea on how it's supposed to be driven.


Don't worry elijah. Tuning is like art, there has to be good and/or bad comments. I do like your ride. Looks neat.

[Elijah]

I think the easiest way to learn is to let off the clutch the same amount of gas you give it. Then after your going just put the clutch in a change gears and let off. Doesnt really matter to much about gas and clutch after your already going.

I could not drive 5-speed before I did the swap, but it was well worth it now that I have the hang of it... and the low end is so much stronger now, i love spinning my tires at will.

exactly bro,

once u give it a chance ez shit, your movements become instant next thing you know your left foot knows when and how to "clutch" ha and your right hand knows how to "shift'" :thumbup:

5speed > auto

[Elijah]

That car is hot. But if you look at his mods and times. It really doesnt add up. Mabey he has got some juice he forgot to tell us about

[bullard123]

I like the interior the hood scoop looks good also.

[Coroncho80]

Nos vamos de compra con esa ala!? hahahahaha

yea lasttime i was there my dad and grand father went somewhere and when they came back his truck was messed up in the back.
guy did a hit and run and kept going hitting other cars.....
i miss it there :sad2:

[hondamotorz]

ya man good job umm little advice boom

[RiCANACCORD]

Thanks bullard.

accordlxi2.0: That's true. I guess people here just buy their licenses. It's scary. We have many fatal accidents daily. After 7PM 30% of drivers are drunk, but drunk or not drunk people here still drive terrible. People change lanes without signal lights, look the mirrors when the car is almost completely inside the lane, and they all like to push down the pedal.

I remember when I went to Orlando last year. Everybody respected the traffic signs. I remember that in a stop signs intersection every car fully stopped, so that the car that was before him passed. Here in the island a stop sign is the same as nothing. All cars rush and try to pass each other. You have to be really prepared before taking your car out. I'm always mentally prepared for all the problems I will encounter in the day.


hondamotorz: I think that will be my next upgrade after the wheels. The sound will look better than the car itself.


I wanted to tell you guys that here in PR the 88 accord has a great popularity. I get to see more than 4 daily, but they look horrible. Mine is the best 88 here after this car : http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/458233/1


After my dad bought me this car, I've seen lots of them in the street. Honda is Honda !!

[myaccord7]

nice color

[RiCANACCORD]

:thumbup: thanks

[accordlxi2.0]

my dad had planned on moving there...i asked him will i be able to take my car..he's like no.
i told him nope.

it's already bad enough that we moved to chicago...but to move to p.r.
i love my grand parents...but i would wanna move there..

[Justin86]
