YIkes. Picture posts in all directions.!...
Wasn't sure which to write in.

Rrrubbery.
You're making me like 13's again though.
Those must be seriously narrow tyres & low offset for that much stretch effect on 13x6!, Mines already on 14x6.

what happened to your blue vintage license plates though

[Hazwan]

I'll say this again, SICK!

Love the wheels and drop. Looks mean! Time to chop my springs lol!

I like what you've done to the door pillars. Did you remove the chrome bits or just sprayed over it? I can't decide wheter to leave it in chrome or simply paint it black.

thnx! i actually bought those blue plates and tried to have them re-issued for the car since they are "time correct" but the bastards at the dmv wouldnt do it.. i like the blue plates way better, i forgot my 10mm socket when i took the pics to swap em out!!..

Haha I think it looks great. The chrome bits look weird.

[MessyHonda]

looks like it handles very good.

[haridev]

i wonder how she would drive without the power steering.....

[Pico]

if your car was a girl I would.......Nevermind
You have one Sexy Accord.

[Hazwan]

i wonder how she would drive without the power steering.....

Dude, stop bitching about manual steering! They are perfectly fine!

[79cord]

Unless he means the effects of the wild wheel-offset.....

With 6 inch rims he's only 1" bigger than USA standard & tyres possibly even narrower than original to get the 'stretch' look.

Most road-testers of the era wondered why you would find the need for power steering in the Accord.

[Hazwan]

Yeah but still, I have wider than stock tires and they steers fine!

[haridev]

guys, chill.....well, yes the road testers did complain about the need of a p.steering in the 'small' accord in its day. they wondered why a small car would need a p.steering. i guess im just lazy...lol...no hard feelings. and another thing, the offsets were what i was talking about. neway, hazwan might laugh at what im gonna say next but i think im gonna have to agree with him on the fact that the manual steering is far better than the p.steering. im mainly saying that coz my pump puked p.steering oil all over the engine bay.....real mess!!!! shit... il have to clean it up when i get back. i have had a constant headache with my p.steering system since the 1st day it went in. well, guess its my denial that i might have to soon be back to the older rack.....:-(....pity meeeeee.........
and yeah, im sure that there are many people out there with p.steerings that work like a champ. i jus feel im unlucky and need to face facts.
fyi....so far spent around USD$600 on the p.steering system and counting.......buhuhu

Careful, the number might went double next time lol. And thats one of the reason why I get rid of the PS.

Why don't you just request vanity plates with the same number? When you get the new plates, pitch 'em and put the old ones on. Can't imagine the cops would ever notice. Or care.

[2ndGenGuy]

Oh man that's brilliant. The suck thing in Washington is that you can't order a vanity plate in the same pattern as a regular plate. Maybe the old license plates would work though since they use a different pattern for plates now. Gonna have to find me a set!!!

yes im realising this now....sigh......

I'm glad you're keeping her though!

[Mellexx]

i still have my volks i took them off to take apart and restore =) i havent lowered the car more if anything the rear might be a little higher. one of my cut stock springs on the rear snapped (i only had about 2 coils for susp) so i played with different springs in the rear to find one that would work. the spring thats in it now has roughly 4.5 coils at the height it is now, has loads more travel, and the rear ride quality is incredible. im still working on finding a spring that will work in the front that will increase travel and allow me to lower the car more. cant wait to ditch the cut stock springs in the front! (i believe it has close to 3 coils now). once i figure out a front spring im going to lower it another 1-1.5, replace the struts with some new kyb's i have, put my volks back on and kiss those rediculously bouncey cut spring days good bye!!

[81vintyminty]

YOU get me some and I'll do it. But its more springs chopping time!

if your really interested in some 80-81 tails lmk, if you can find me some clean older style tails like yours im sure we could work somthing out.

[Hazwan]

Keep us updated with the springs. I have since chopped my springs even more and I'm starting to get sick of the bounce and I'm not even close to your lowerness (N) I'm interested with the tails if the price is right!

And MORE PICS!

[2ndGenGuy]

Ah jealous of the overhead console! Where did you find it!!

[Hazwan]

I'm starting to regret for not getting them when I get the chance back then ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Jealousy, I haz it.

[81vintyminty]

i scored it on a pick-a-part trip!! it was in a super clean 79 hb =/

[Civic Accord Honda]

u want one? next time im in ridgecrest i might be able to pick one up! they has like 7 or 9 untouched 1gees that have been there for like atleast 15 years and if i recall one them had the overhead console!

[Hazwan]

If the shipping is like $10 then sure :p Need USDM tails too! Anybody?! :thumbup:

[2ndGenGuy]

I've been looking for USDM tails man. I haven't seen a 1gee at the wreckers forever. sedans are more rare here than hatches. Can't say I've ever seen a sedan here at all.

[Hazwan]

if your really interested in some 80-81 tails lmk, if you can find me some clean older style tails like yours im sure we could work somthing out.

I really doubt I could find mint older style tails here. Don't you guys have them over there too? I bet you could find one in mint condition. lmk if you find a set of 81 tails!
