granite welcome to the forum hopefully soon. :wave:

[A18A]

nice car, minus the wing, the front lip looks pretty cool on some angles. i like the color of the car too, and the tan interior is cool too. the car looks pretty straight, i like that

[turabaka]

nice looking car. very clean engine bay. Spoiler needs to go though. It's a little too ricy for this car.

[Hazwan]

I like the color.

[knarg]

CAH's new car

[Cheeseburger]

sweeeeeeeeeet

[Civic Accord Honda]

looks good :D
makes me miss my old DIY lip lol
i like the color and interior :)

[GraniteLXI]

Hi guys, first post here! (Finally my request got activated lol) Sry about the wing on the car, that was on there when I bought it, haven't taken it off because i don't want to patch the trunk up LOL. Previous owner drilled 6 holes to mount it in... I plan on getting a much smaller and stock-ish looking wing so... dont make too much fun of it lol. The car runs very well, main problems are a lose tie rod, bad radiator thermal sensor in the water housing, and 1 warped brake drum. Recently the computer is being replaced due to corrosion and it dieing from water that gets into the floor of the car. Thanks for all the posts, Keep em coming! Oh, and how do I "Hijack" this thread? lol

[89T]

how do I "Hijack" this thread? lol
you just did...:welcome:

[knarg]

take off the lip, wheels, and wing and you'll be set :)

[labeledsk8r]

rare color combo. would look mint without that spoiler, the garden sideing lip and you have some rust damage that needs some repair. looks like a good project car, good luck and welcome to 3geez

[GraniteLXI]

I kinda like the lip, I may keep it until I replace it with a better material, but as far as the spoiler im going to remove it and patch up the little holes left from the mounts. Those wheels are actually stock! The last owner painted the bolt covers the same color as the car, I may just remove the caps and drive it like that, i dunno yet. And yeah, its going to be a great project car.

[2oodoor]

Hey garden siding lip FTW, It looks ok to me

Is that interior grey with salt and pepper dash,?
I wanted to two tone my interior like that and I didnt know some came that way. Looks like a good car

<<< thats me, goofing around with phone cam yesterday while watching horror flicks..
now that is jacking a thread... so now you know .lol welcome to the forum !!

oh and welcome to the site i say if u dnt give a shit about the wing take the top of and cut the mounts so its just a flat plate till u do the hole covering

[coope]

man thats rice but it looks good we need to d-rice him quick i bet that wing give him 1600hp jk
oh an for real when u change that thermostate be carefull not to break a bolt i did

[GraniteLXI]

LOL thanks for the support, I know it looks ricey with the wing, DONT WORRY, the wing is as good as GONE when i get the car back from the shop when the new ECU is installed. I do have a high flow muffler installed but that I am not removing, I love the deep tone, sounds like pure sex! Hehe Ill take some new pics for you guys after i get the wing removed :wave: once thats gone I think many will agree it wont be nearly as "ricey" :P

[MessyHonda]

wow i want a car that clean. besides the lip and wing.

[jschatte]

nice looking car too bad it was CAHed by the previous owner

[snoopyloopy]

:welcome: sweet, not bad, not bad at all. you apparently already know about the wing, so i rest my case. when's the 5 speed swap going in? :)

[GraniteLXI]

Yea, the previous owner was kinda a tard by the wing, its the only thing i wish he didnt do. The lip I like, it doesnt draw major attention away from the essence of the car, really. As far as the manual swap it may be a while, i have a low income and try to work with what I can, but I do get bonuses at work 4 times a year so.... eh, it may not be too far off ^_^ Ya guys are making me glad i bought this car, hehe, I did fall in love w/ it when I saw it, as im sure you all did when you ran into ure 3geez. 3rd Gen Accord FTW :)

[GraniteLXI]

Well, finally got my 3gee back from the shop today. I took off the spoiler and lightly sanded the inside of the holes, then attempted to fill the holes with steel epoxy. Damn my fingers are cold after all that... hope it isn't too cold for the epoxy, its still a bit above freezing yet.

Ill probably sand the nubs down when they cure from the filler, find a touch up for my car's color, and then put a clear coat on top of it.

[Hazwan]

100x better now!

[labeledsk8r]

mutch better, wow that rusted panel is bad lol mayby cah will buy that wing from you to pay for the panel fixing lol

[A18A]

damn ji didnt even notice the rust before lol

[GraniteLXI]

I have a friend at work who is thinking of buying the wing off me, I told him id give it to him for $20 (Im thinking i should have gone higher, its like a $90 wing) if he changes his mind i wouldn't mind selling it to any of you guys if your interested :)

That 1 spot on the rear is basically my worst rust spot on the car, I plan on getting it taken care of soon when i get the $ after taking care of a few mechanical issues. I'm hoping that spot wont be too difficult to take care of...
