My first ever built (D.I.Y completely)/owned car

[gogogonut]

So, basic facts first. I bought my first car (Honda Accord 2.0 EX) when i was seventeen. I had no clue back then what i´ve put myself into :) I have no pictures what it look like back then, but you can imagine that.
In a nutshell what i´ve done to car.

Exterior: Modiefied Extreme Dimension front/rear bumber (they was for CB accord) and lookalike-m3 sideskirts, D.I.Y lambos, flip-trunk, glassfiber hood with mitsu-evoscoop and painted with pure white with übercool Alsacorp Eclipse. CHECK OUT!!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtvO3-yXRak)!!!

Interior: Painted and retrimmed with fake leather to black and white

Motor: Stock A20A2 exept 2.5" stainless steele pipe with 4" muffler (Want so bad to do a engine swap with turbo install. Any ideas?)

Stereos: Not quite anything yet. Only engine for now :D

Chassis (or what it is called where dampers and all that lays on): Lowered -40mm (stiff as hell)

And many other things that i forgot to mension here.

All modifications are done by me, from painting to glassfiber jobs to all metal works including those lambos (from designing to welding and fitting).

And so, let the pictures spoke for themself what it took for me 3 years to build all by myself...And i am very pleased what i have made with my two own hands. While this was my first car, it wasn´t a bad start?
PS. if i have some typing fault its because i live in Finland and i don´t use english so much...And if someone wants to ask about anything, just ask :)

wow top work, not my kind, but :thumbup: for the work done

[Hazwan]

Not my style, but thats unique car for sure!

[86ccord]

car is sweet bro.. i love black and white.. also your interior ive been wanting to do a black and white interior nice i like it.. and not so sure about your hood and lambo doors.. but hey.. good work and its nice.. congrats for your first car!

GOOD WORK!!

[thegreatdane]

unique car, props for all the work! unusual for a first time poster!
There's a lot of details I dont really fancy, but I like seing good work. It looks like you made the CB accord bumpers fit really well!

There is one thing that really hurts my eyes though; the gauge faces. The stock ones would look much much better or just something very simple.
I like your valve cover paint theme, deserves to be on a better engine though (DOHC) :)

Ps. where are you going to mount your license plates?

[GraniteLXI]

Looks great, you seem to have a nack for making things fit, oh and great job keeping the theme and color schemes matching! Could have been a disaster if not done carefully, but hey, nice work and :welcome: :)

Indeed with that first one. It deserves to be on a better engine :D And with those license plates....well, i start to worry with those when the cops say me that i should worry :D

[GraniteLXI]

I just noticed....is your theme based off of Brian's Skyline from 2fast2furious??? I see the stripes and the rear vinyls, and your tails and all I see is Brian's Skyline, all it needs to be is blue lol. Kinda cool actually :)

[Nafs Asdf]

Näyttää hyvin tehdyltä, ja kivahan tuo on jos tykkää, makuasioistahan ei voi kun kiistellä. ;)

Eikös sulla muuten ollut tuo hetki sitten nettiautossa myynnissä?

Eikös sulla muuten ollut tuo hetki sitten nettiautossa myynnissä?

What's that mean in English.?:huh:

[Nafs Asdf]

Pretty much what everyone else said. Looks well done but not my style.

Oh, and that I saw it for sale a little while back.

[BITESIZE]

Looks like alot of work was put into it! I like the white valve cover, must be fun keeping it clean though.

[BITESIZE]

Those pinstripes are totally fucking wicked....(watch the video)

[Civic Accord Honda]

[ghettogeddy]

X2!

[MessyHonda]

looks unique

[frantik]

nice job.. tons of work done for sure. only thing i'm not feeling are the tail lights.. just black them out completely imo

[gogogonut]

Done. Those are just glassfiber covers to make them look like Skyline rear lights.

Yup. Straight from the ff2 cause it looked super cool on R34, so i though it looked cool on my ride also.

Eikös sulla muuten ollut tuo hetki sitten nettiautossa myynnissä?

Niimpä. Kaikki ei voi pitää, mut tärkeintä on et itte tykkää. Joo olihan tuo myynnissä. Kumma juttu ko 4 viikossa tuli yli 10000 katsojaa mut yks hyvä tarjous :D

Same as english: Yup. Everybody doesn´t like, but main things is that you love it. It was on sale. Strange thing, that it had over 10000 viewers on four weeks, but only one good offer

[gogogonut]

And everybody who is thinking to paint his/her car with that Alsacorp Eclipse, be shure that you use clearcoat which contains a very strong UV Blocker. I didnt use and my stripes went shit, only in week.
But hey, been there, done that, its time to do something new :D

[markmdz89hatch]

damn nice work and dedication to your car. not my style much either, but much respect for taking the time to do what you did. Welcome to the board too.

[gogogonut]
