Heh, not my idea of a wash, but looks like it worked. The rims compliment the car well...good deal.

prolly not. I would just like to get the 88 bumper back so i can put my lip back on. 88 Turn signal/grille peice and taillights back on because because I had to use the 87 parts which dont look as nice in my opinion. (except the side molding) that and find those B&G springs.

After school is over and i start making money again I would like to do a turbo b20a. now how SEXY would THAT be!

Very nice body kit!!and very nice rims!!! but if you care about acceleration, replace them with 195/50/15 or 195/60/14(depends your current engine mods-horsepower??).

why would I go with a narrow tire that prolly ways the same as the one i have. I want traction, not to spin my tires (well thats what i have the 14's for) Im the kinda guy that Jim 86LXI HB is talking about that takes his car to 10/10 on the back roads. its not so much acceleratoin im worried about as sticking to the road.

as far as mods, everything was reverted back to stock except the MSD blaster coil and the ALuminum flywheel. and thats plenty good for acceleration.

The best overall rim/tyre combination for one 10/10 track FWD car like Accord 3g
is 195/50/15 (on 6*15 wheels) or max 205/50/15 (on 7*15 wheels).
If the wheels are lightweight like Rotas, Watanabe or even stock GSR rims (6*15) then
this is the best overall combination for my opinion...........good traction and good acceleration out of the corners.
This combination is not only good for one Accord 3g with one A20 EFI 125-130hp, but
even for race Honda with B16A/B18C with over 200hp:

But anyway good luck with your set-up.

No, you are wrong, 3Geez is a Discussion forum as everybody knows, and I just give
some advise, because I thought that you CARE about acceleration and traction-grip as well...................but I forget that you are the president of JLF( Just looks fast)Racing !!!!!!!!!!

SO you're saying your car has a bad camber problem because of that 2.25 in. drop, eh?

actually after putting it up on the alignment rack myself the camber is that bad considering the drop. i think it was 1 degree front and rear. the rear is easily ajustable to spec with some WORSHERs in the control arm. the front just needs the prelude arms im just too lazy to go home and get them.

arent the Tokicos a really soft spring though. I want something that is about the same or a bit stiffer than the Sprints. or maybe just the back springs to lift the car a little bit



thank you blazin

Its the bottom trim from an 88 cut off and flipped upside down and bolted to the bottom of the stock 88 bumper. and then cut accordingly.

that's sweet. your guitar matches your car. what kind of axe is that?

your car is sooo hot. but if you found some window visors, it would be an uber sexy sedan.

well mario since your running the same springs i was ill tell you that the konis are the way to go for me. I do think the tokicos are just a stock shock not for performance. I had mine aligned andyes the fronts were like 1.1-1.2 off camber (nonadjustable) rears were fine. Heres a question for you. Having jusat the 1 degree of isnt doing damage to the tires persay as flex from driving would offset that. Do you like the crnering or do you fell it is stiff entering a turn?

I ran lightweight 16s and Im with you on the backroads. Although with the video you posted that was a little hairy fro me with that Huge pillar and oncoming car.

Car looks great is that aftermarket color? Mike

I like that color with the rims and the body kit was that just a custom job or is it one that is available to buy?
