Bored..decided to show a timeline of my car.

[Busted_Blue]

I'm kinda of bored so I figured I just make a cool pic timeline about my car in the past year. Not much of a change since the car still looks like garbage.

January 2004
This is the oldest pic I have on my computer.

Was bored and hated that chrome grille, so it got painted along with my wipers!

Enjoy the timeline. :D Killed like 30 minutes of my time. :uh:





UPDATED with pics on PAGE 2!!!!

[88accordhb]

damn nice derek. love the black hx, cheap looks but looks awesome

[BDaccordguy]

i like the fat fives.. but IMO those LS mesh wheels are the hotness! Those look so sick on your car. I had always wondered how those HX wheels would look on the 3gee.. look pretty good too but I still favor the mesh.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

The mesh and the fat fives look awesome!.. i love them both, don't mind the HX's either, but prefer the other 2.

And that strut bar is NUTS!... so nice.

[frankie89]

nice.. them 99 ls mesh rims look real good on you accord...

[danronian]

I like the HX rims stock, not black, makes them look their full size. I wish I had some for winter driving but I guess the stock lx-i's will have to do. Very nice picture collection! Nice drop, if I have money this summer those are the springs I'll be using.

[SQ is the SQUAD]

id go with the mesh rims (we call them baby c2's around here) i had a set on my car right before it went into the shop for all the body work

http://www.3geez.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1926

[Busted_Blue]

funny. I like the LS mesh too but oh well. I like the GSR rims the most still. I just got these HX for daily driving and I got them dirt cheap. Thanks for the comments guys.

funny how most of the comments are about rims. lol

[snow_man_20]

funny how most of the comments are about rims. lol

I like the cup holders and the rear disk, nice car all the way around!!

[A20A1]

I think your ASIMO was the best mod ever. :D

[PortugalFocus]

Great car man..... I think the HX wheels are badass in my opinion just the way they are.

[NXRacer]

HX wheels look good when they have a polished lip and the spokes are painted red. There's a blue Civic SI rolling around town like that and it looks SWEET.

after i get a couple more mods done (hee hee) i'll have to post up a time line.

[Busted_Blue]

i might look into selling the HX rims..those 185 tire width isn't cutting it on my car. It feels so much better on 205/50/15 performance tires versus 185/65/14 eco tires.



I wonder what will come up next in the near future for this little vehicle of mine.

[maxoutracer]

i love it!

keep up the good work d!

[mr eff]

whatever happened to the header you picked up, d? or did i just miss it!

yo d... i have a set of watanbes rs8 might be up for grab very soon.... currently importing from japan right now :)

[mr eff]

haha D, is that a cop at the end of the block?

[Busted_Blue]

haha D, is that a cop at the end of the block?

No I don't think so..

[mr eff]

there's flashing lights that you're racing towards, thought it was a cop :(

chris

[johndej]

looks good to me, whole lot of pics lol

[sporkHSP]

HX wheels are nice, but I say if you wanna go black, steal back those LS wheels and do it.

[Busted_Blue]

Well, I didn't like the HX rims too much, mainly because the tire patch on the sucka was 185 on those tires. I reverted back to my GSR rims and back to 205/50. :D

There is a guy locally near me that wants HX for trade for his LS mesh rims, so I'm trying to talk to him about getting them. Thanks for the chop, wish I could see it cause it is so small. I'm running a large resolution so the pictures are tiny. =\

[sporkHSP]

they are the same size pics as you posted earlier, I just cropped them...

[Busted_Blue]

hmm oh well

[Busted_Blue]

what paint did you use when you smoked your corners

[Busted_Blue]

what paint did you use when you smoked your corners



testors window tint spray + duplicolor plastic clear coat.

[Mike89Accordcom]

Looks nice, I should do that, but it would take me forever....

<3 <3 <3 <3 those rims <3 <3 <3 <3

[89AccordResto]

I love this accord.

[speedpenguin]

Always cool to see a timeline, I can imagine how mine might go.
"This is my shitty car"
"The end"
BTW those mesh rims are teh hotness.

[wprocomp]

you couldnt get the front teins to work right

[Toneloc5145]

as requested by a fellow 3geez member

Thanks man! Car looks good like always. I see what you were talking about with the trim being painted black. It does look good, I must say. I now have another "plan" on my list.

[89AccordResto]

What tip is that on the exhaust?

[reanimator420]

how much for the hx rims

[1320boy]

Aww,
you miss your old car

[Hash_man_Se_i]

ya what happened with the attempt at the teins,? and what chassis were they designed for?

[MIK3]

I think Busted has been one of the few members to actually almost convince me to step out of my boundry of "stockness" and actually modify my car...The subtle, yet sophisticated mods he did to that car were very well planned...

Cheeseburger, your ass is mine if I hear anything negative from that car.

J/K bro! You know I know you'll take care of her.

[89AccordResto]

Yeah, his car is basically a blueprint for what I want to do with mine. But I want shifter bushings too. :P

[Busted_Blue]

Yeah, his car is basically a blueprint for what I want to do with mine. But I want shifter bushings too. :P

I did have shift bushings on my car too :P

uhm....

Teins were from 88 Civic and were about $1000 bucks :]



From what I've learned..we can probably run 98 civic rears + 88 civic fronts but....I had no real proof. It would be great if someone tried that theory.but many on this board lack the perservance (MONEY) to do it.




The tip is some sort of magnaflow exhaust tip, forgot what it is...but I did mention it on this forum so search for it!!

Thanks I appreciate the comment. I love OEM, but I love tuning so I had a nice compromise. Subtle tuning is the best for a car! :)

I don't know about the whole sophisticated part...since this car started to look all boy racer like haha.

[smufguy]

dude, the car looks awsome and the Magnaflow Resonator is what i want NOW!!!!! Awsome car man, just pure awsome-ness :cheers:

[89AccordResto]

Yeah, it's the best looking accord I've seen. It's clean, OEM looking, and classy. No over the top HEY LOOK AT ME paintjob, wings, bodykit, etc. I dig it. A lot.

[2drSE-i]

still got the ls rims??

[Busted_Blue]

still got the ls rims??


nope, they were my buddy's rims.

I still have the fat fives..thats about it.

[89AccordResto]

nope, they were my buddy's rims.
I still have the fat fives..thats about it.

Want to sell them?!

[Busted_Blue]

Want to sell them?!


you live too far and I dont think you want them anyways. :P

[MessyHonda]

hey busted blue...u want to trade with my fat fives...or can you help me clean them..cuz i cant get this like dirt off..il PM u

[89AccordResto]

you live too far and I dont think you want them anyways. :P

I really want them actually. Your car is my hero and I've been trying to find some around here, no luck. :( Where do you live?

[2drSE-i]

damn, wanted those LS rims, but the cheapest i can find is 100 a piece for knockoffs.....which is ridiculous. or theres an auction on ebay for those rims going at 200 with 2 days left for ones that he said he got painted black at a rim shop.....which should go out of business cuz its the shittiest paint job ive ever seen...

oh and resto you stole my sig you bastard.

[Busted_Blue]

I live in the Bay Area of California. California is the home of cheap oem rims. The usual I see is $300ish for a set of LS rims with tires. :)


hahha I give up on OEM rims now.. I'm aiming for lighter rims like my RG6 rims on my civic that weigh 11lbs a rim ;)

[89AccordResto]

oh and resto you stole my sig you bastard.

HAhAHah. It's funny enough that more people should have it.

[BITESIZE]

How's the turbo coming?

[Busted_Blue]

How's the turbo coming?
what turbo?


My civic is coming along.. :)


It ran a 16.4 at CMI this past week in stock form. had a stock clutch with 97k on it and intake and exhaust. was a bad day, I'm sure it can run lower 16s. Oh well...turbo is planned for my civic this summer. :)

[89AccordResto]

Ouch. I've seen stock neons pull 15.5s on sticky tires.

[smufguy]

Ouch. I've seen stock neons pull 15.5s on sticky tires.

that gotta be one bad driver.

[Busted_Blue]

that gotta be one bad driver.
oh well a stock civic runs 16.5 according to the brochure so I'm not too unhappy considering the conditions we were running.

[89AccordResto]

that gotta be one bad driver.

Non SRT4s. Regular DOHC 5spds. So how hot was it when you ran?

[Busted_Blue]

Non SRT4s. Regular DOHC 5spds. So how hot was it when you ran?
it wasnt hot.. it was around 55 maybe?

It rained friday...and many people decided not to go because it was a 40% of rain on saturday. It was sprinkling a little when we were in line too. Overally it was not ideal conditions for running the best times. It was my first time at the track i don't mind being new to it.







I am curious what the accord would do...it probably makes the same amount of power.
