My crazy $3000 dollar costom guage job :) Hey, i need gas, and as you can see, i just got some........5 dollars doesnt get much, even in oklahoma.
108,000 miles isnt much, but my grandma drove 2 miles to work every day until around 97, when my dad got it, and he put about 60 on it. Ive slapped around 8000 miles since i got my license last Feb.

hehe thanks, its a little rough around the edges, but the bumper is getting fixed as soon as we're done moving (you can see the real estate sign in the background, SOLD!!), ill probably start sanding and primering it soon.

Clean car...boo to the nozzles though. Have fun with your car, enjoy the extras you get from the SEi. Many want those luxuries. :D

Looks good and clean! I wish mine had decent paint, but since I am in the process of finding a new tranny and installing a new clutch the car will be reliable enough to deserve a nice shiny Maaco job come summer time. I can't wait until I can drive my car again.

how exactly do you clean the engine bay?
and yes, it will last me forever, i even thot of selling it, but i said screw it, i love my car!

BTW, i think i need to take an upclose pic of the paint, its REALLY bad
Ive got little X's all over the hood from where the clearcoat is coming off
Dont get ur car painted at Maaco, ive seen maaco paint jobs get blown off with an air compressor.

If you do the prep work and body work yourself and just let Maaco spray the car the results aren't that bad at all. I got my show car (75 malibu, for sale this spring, $7000 obo, fully restored) (now that I think about it the malibu has been done 3 years now, considering that car doesn't have a garage, only a crappy car cover under lots of tree dirt, the paint looks real good for being a three year old job) done there after I replaced all of the rust and spent a week sanding the thing and for only being an $800 job it looks like it could be a $2500 job, people are amazed when I say "...Maaco..." Since the accord isn't going to be a show car I am sure the cheap $220 job will look amazing for all non-show purposes. The hard part is going to be replacing both wheel-wells in the accord and stripping off all of the cracked paint in addition to sanding the rest of the car. It shouldn't take more than a week though but it'll have to wait until summer.

*edit, 108K is the same # of miles the donor car had on it that my used transmission is out of (hopefully this a good sign meaning that the $175 transmission will last for many years!)

Nice car, I like that charcoal grey color, time to get it lowered and get some rimns now. Then you'll be set.

Well, i've always been told that water + hot engine parts = cracked head or exhaust manifold, but yea i wudnt do it with cai or ram, unless u had a bypass valve

i took off my short ram and used that semi plastic bendable hose that u use on dryers,to get air into the air intake manifold i just got it long enough so that it hangs off the side and away from the overspray of the pressure hose.
