enkei 92's? not bad for 100 huh? just gotta strip that gold paint off. I was thinking either gunmetal, bronze, or black with the lip polished. what do you guys think?

ohh yeah and the uhh new daily driver? don't worry I'm only driving it while I do all the body work to the 3g.
I bought it with a rod knocking single cam and swapped another single cam in it, welded the diff, injen intake, one peice drive shaft, and dropped it. It's really fun to drive though haha

enkei for $100? Damn I would say you got a steal of a deal. The gold looks horrible, Id almost say make it a gloss black or a satin white, just remove the gold! XD

You guys rock. I wish I had a shop like what you guys have down there.

BTW, how hard is it for you to nose out another good condition LXi?

Yeah i love the space we have. Around here accords really aren't that hard to find I'm sure you could find a nice lxi for about $1000 or less.

I am for sure getting rid of the gold trust me haha. I have to take these tires back to the junkyard, they charged $10 ea. and they have real bad camber wear. I'm thinking a nice set of falken 912's will do for these wheels.

ya know, those nissans are damn fun, I drove a couple myself. Here in Ft wayne, popular thing to do is swap in a sr20 i think it's called but man, those lil guys are quick! As for the Honda, not so quick,lol. But tell you what, that Honda hatch is one of the best looking cars ever. As far as the rims go, not my style but hey, a deal is a deal!

Nice, pleas take the gold of asap. What size are the wheels?

02-12-2008, 10:22 AM
they look just like mine!...thats because i had 92's as well :(

http://www.3geez.com/forum/vbpgimage.php?do=full&p=93&d=1142686554

oh and mine were 14's...yours seem to be the same

yeah they are 14's i wish i could find some 195/50/14 or even 55's but it seems like all companies have for 14's are 60 series. I remember the first time i saw your car with those wheels monkey and i wanted them ever since haha now i finally found some, the only thing is i wish they had a bit more of a lip. Today i took some steel wool to the lip on 2 of them though and it turned out pretty good. The offset is nice on them too they stick out a little more than the factory 45 offset and fill the wheel well nicely. For shocks I have tokico hp's and dropzone 2 1/4 springs but they weren't low enough for me so i cut 2 coils in the rear and one coil up front.
No one around here seems to like the ka24e but i was surprised at how much torque this motor has! It has no problem at all getting sideways haha

I think hyperblack or gunmetal would add a nice touch. Then polish the lips. I wish I could get my hands on some.

yeah the gold doesn't look too bad with the lip polished. The paint was like brushed on though and has drips everywhere so I'm gonna repaint them either way.

Just the polished lip helped a LOT.

Actually i do have access to a sand blaster, but I'm not sure it wouldn't leave pit marks and stuff. I was re doing the fat fives and the clear coat on those buggers are tough. I used paint stripper and it got it all off pretty easily. I'll post some pictures of those wheels too even though they are not finished yet.

I'm with you on that. Not the best looking rims IMHO. I especially hate the gold color.

87lxiaccord
02-13-2008, 08:30 PM
yeah the gold isn't staying. Either way any type of mesh are the shit. I was gonna take the tires off but the 240 was demanding a new clutch so i spent all day doing that instead.
