4th gen kit on 3rd gen from NOPI

[GDGuy11B]

Hey everybody, Me and Jay spotted this car at the NOPI Nationals. It has a 4th gen kit. We talked to him for about 45 minutes. we'll try to get him to register on te board. he said that he visits us but never posts. here's one pic, there are 20 more in my photo album. http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/gdguylb/lst?.dir=/3rd+Gen+with+4th+Gen+Kit&.src=ph&.view=

Man, that looks great! I get so pumped when I see someone oldskoolin' our cars with style! His interior is very cleanly done.

Check it out - looks like he has a Weber carb kit with some kind of piping feeding cold air "around" it:

[GDGuy11B]

yes, that is a weber carb

[bobafett]

thats a cool looking car!

how does that front bumper look in person... i am really trying to convince myself that i dont mind how the bumper rounds off under the corners of the 3g.

[carotman]

Yeah, I still think that the front bumper is too round for the car.. the back is nice tough.

[MoonScryer]

The bumper dosen't go under the lights. It comes near the corners where it rounds down the sides, but not actually under them.

It looks good in person. If I were going to do it, I'd choose that Demon Prelude front bumper; little squarer.

I'm going to send him the link to this post. Perhaps he will finally post :p

[sanjay]

Thats beautiful....
i love the interior...
but i don't like it when people paint over their lights :S :rolleyes:

[Vanilla Sky]

too round for my tastes, but it looks good... and i love the way it all ties together

Derick

[87AccordsterLx]

well I think its the nicest modded kit that I have ever seen... it still looks damn good even though it is rounded...

[jlaccord89lxi]

does he actually have a turbo?, or are those guages on the sidepost inside the car wired to something else?

[Mantis88LX]

sweeeet, that accord is awesome, it looks great, great job!

[89AccordNate]

Damn, that looks awesome. Even with it being round, the front end of it doesnt stick out really far like the others. I definitely like that....hmmmmmmmm...new idea :)

Nate.

[89AccordNate]

I could make taillight covers like that with my sticker machine :)...haha.

Nate.

[damackz]

Overall a sweet ass ride!!! lovin da colour lol but yeah the painting over the lights :rolleyes: other den dat hella pimped!!

[1989 Lxi Coupe]

Wow, thats a great looking car! Thats the color I would like to get my car painted when I get a quilty job done. I hope he starts to post here, his advice would be appraiated. :)

[flamed89]

hey i met that dude at carlisle compact jam last year!he told me about this site .i used to have his number but i can't find it anymore,if i had it i'd call him and tell him to start posting!nevermind i do have it i'm gonna him tommorow!

[GDGuy11B]

yeah, jay has his email addy, and the guy, i think his name is Joe, has both of ours. i'll get it from jay and email him about it..

jlaccord89lxi --> those are water temp and oil temp gauges i beleive

[Neuspeed87lx]

that looks soooo good.....one of the nicest 3g i have ever seen...if the guy that owns that is reading this...awesome job!!

[3rdgenSLIMER]

*messes pants* WOW. that is the cleanest 3rdgen so freakin far!! i think it looks damn good. needs white rims though, in my opinion. the front bumber i think doesn't look that bad at all. i think i actually might try that.

[3rdgenSLIMER]

wish you could have gotten a picture sideways to see how the spoiler looks, cause im a big fan of aluminum spoilers.

[DarknessRS]

Very nice, one of the best looking 3Gs for me :D. Only thing I dislike is the tail: the wing and the taillights just don't appeal to me.

[DarknessRS]

Oh yea, the only improvement I can think of is shaving the side mouldings.

[netfreak]

I think I want that kit! It does look a little too rounded for the car but I'll be painting mine jet black to trick the eyes a bit.

[88Ex-i]

doesn't look half bad. I thought it might look funny, but I could get used to seeing that on my ride.......:)

[guaynabo89]

I actually liked the way that kit looked. There is one thing he should have done though.

You see how the kit has a lip on the top of the front bumper to match the lines underneath the headlights and the grill of the fourth gen. Get a little work done to make that lip match the underneath of the headlights and grille of the third gen.


If he or anyone else who does this makes that little modification the kit will look like it was meant to be there and not like a kit from a fourth gen slapped on a 3rd gen Accord.

Other than that the car looked nice he put alot of work into it.

[MyGarbageLXi]

anhone else note the Corner lights? i think that looks DOPE! how he like Taped out the Yellow and it looks like A large dot and a small dot on the corner Lights.. thats awesome..how do u do that??!?!

[markmdz89hatch]

very nice!! Props to you man if ur readin' this.
That's a clean car.

...and for all you other DX owners (that includes me), see how nice they can look with a little imagination.

Only -'s: The tails. And like others said, I'd try to get a body shop to try and match up that front to the bottom of the lights a little better. Other then that, that car is screaming for a set of my clear corner markers.;)

[A20A1]

Thats tape? I bet he used a CD for a template, I did that and painted my tails black
Then I thought it looked funky so I just cut holes for the round lights.
anyways I love the racing seats and the smooth paint.

[iiviasterp]

WOW that car is just amazing all i can say.......:omg: id ditch the carb and go with fi.... but that is about the only thing halfway wrong with that car... cause i know you can do some crazy things with webers.........

[A20A1]

well the 32/36 is just a mild increase in performance...

[88LXiHB]

He has my rims http://forums.off-topic.net/images/smilies/wiggle.gif

[accordexi87]

one sweet ride ... but i have seen an 3rd gen accord with a sweeter lip on this site (i belive it was in floss your 3geez )
gray 3rd gen accord with one sweet ass lip..

but other wise .. my jaw droped when i saw this ride ... SWEET ASS RIDE MAN ... and if you ever get rid of anything from that car email me :)

[Neuspeed87lx]

another thing i like is how he has the redline on his tach in yellow..it looks good..

[Jims 86LXI HB]

Hmm, in some view's the front does look to rounded and in other's it looks great. Overall the car is really nice.

[CARBurn]

Overall nice car, but I am surprised by that horn thingy next to the Weber.
Who ever put the time and effort in to that car, you did a really decent job...

Love seeing that Weber:D

[smufguy]

u know what, that car needs to hvae no suspension but just some staright pipe or somethin. u hit one bump, ur bumpers are gonna be flying off. look how low the bumpers are!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[86lx-iaccordLeXXX]

sup micah,
ay man i was really wondering about your kit on your car. what kit is that?
was there alot of modifications needed?
i have a 86 lx-i. i wanted to know if that kit you have would be easy to put on my car?
your car is amazing and i didn't want a old school kit on my car as well. if you could email me back i would really appreciate if you could help me. im from hawaii, alot of people tell that it is impossible but you car is a good role model. thanx
alex.

[doug]

did you check out those tenzo seats? I'm wondering how comfy they are.

[2Fast_Fiero]

I'm like the #1 Fan of Ground Designs 2000. He has the GD2000 BW1 front lip, the rest of his kit sucks. I'm gonna buy the full B1W kit and do some modifications to the skirts and for blinkers on the bumper.

Read the VERY FIRST POST, its not his car....:rolleyes:

[dXsquared]

that car is the sweetest kar out there. Pearl drop comes in second and the guy with the silver hatch comes 3rd.
the dude with the purple and yellow car with all the neon is like down with the stockers. i think it is way gaudy! sorry but i do. im not flamin ya but i think u over worked it. i like clean cars, even this one could do with out the huge kit and just some suttle lips.

[Vega88lxi]

I actually met the owner of this accord at the NHRA Import Summit event this Sunday at Englishtown, NJ. The car looks Nice! Especially in person. I talked to the guy for awhile, mostly about the work he put into it and how the 3g is so overlooked in the Import community. I told him about the board so you should be hearing from him real soon.

http://members.aol.com/gaby4883/dsc02.jpg

[88LXiHB]

I thought Micah already told him about the board? :confused:

[Vega88lxi]

Yeah he said somebody down in atlanta told him about the board. He said hes browsed around but never registerd.

[mrgadget]

:rice: Can you please hide my license plate

[mrgadget]

:rice: Hey Guys
I'm registered now. If we meet on Nov 3rd at Englishtown and we get enough 3rd gen accords, there could be a possibility that we could get a class for us. I have been talking to the guy who runs the import events and he said that he plans on making some changes for next year. It would be really sweet if we had our own class. So everyone try to make it on Nov 3rd.
By the way, this past Saturday, Honda Tuning took pics of my car for their magazine. Look for me in the Feb/Mar edition of 2003

By the way how can I attach a pic of my car when I post

[mrgadget]

:rice: For the person who asked about the Tenzo Seats, they are very comfortable. I drove the car all the way to NOPI and back.

For the guy who asked about the redline yellow section on the gauges, I took the guages out of the car and painted them myself. At the time there were no after-market gauges available.

For the people who don't like the car, the modifications, or the kit, let me see you try to attend all of the car shows to see what fits and what doesn't. You have to be willing to take chances and spend a little money to see what works.

Besides NOPI Nats gave me 2nd place in my class and Honda Tuning wants me in their magazine, so I must be doing something right. I'm only venting in this forum because ever since my pictures were posted by the guy (Vega88lxi) who took my pics in Atlanta, my car has been ragged on and it's my duty to defend my ride.

[Vega88lxi]

Hey that wasnt me, I was the guy at Englishtown that said I saw your car on the Internet.

Dont worry about the negtive comments. Theres allways people with diferent opinions as to what looks good. Me, as a person who isnt really into bodykits, I think the car looks good.

Hey did you tell the girl you where talking to with the 3g at the car show about the board?

[2Fast_Fiero]

Welcome, first question from me.....Why in the hell did you go with a Black Widow 1 front bumper and a totaly different rear bumper and side skirts? Car looks nice, but its hard for me to see Ground Designs 2000 mixed with something else.

[Mike89Accordcom]

Yeah my friend put the same kit on, but his was all fucked up and was put on the wrong way. But you did a good job on yours!

[2Fast_Fiero]

Wait wait, his isn't the only one with the BW1 kit? atleast part of it? FUCK!!!

[Mike89Accordcom]

Yeah same exact one. He hasn't stopped by in a while for me to take pics, and I've wanted to for quite sometime.

[88LXiHB]

I think MSI means does your friend with the kit own a 3rd Gen....

[mrgadget]

:rice: Hey Vega88lxi
I did tell that girl about the web site.
She is really hyped about her 3rd gen accord

MSIAccord_Lxi
The reason I went with a BW front is because I was looking for a wide mouth front. The back and the sides were given to me by my club member who had a 92 accord. The back was totally smashed and reconstructed it. I will have to post pictures of what the bumper looked like. I wanted to do some mixing and matching to see what I came up with. I guess something different

MR89AccordLxi.
Thanks for the compliments and comments.

In fact everyone who has commented on my car, I really appreciate the comments and critisism. The way I look at this is, we are all in this together and we 3rd gen guys and girls have to stick together. Remember no company wanted to do anything for us and we had to be creative. Doing extreme things can really get us on the map for import events. I will do what ever it takes to help someone else get to the next level. I love to see new ideas for 3rd gen accords. Who knows maybe I'll do suicide doors on the back doors.

[2Fast_Fiero]

Wings West. Anyways nice car.

[Vega88lxi]

Mrgadget, why dont you throw some 18's on it? those will get the judges attention.

[GDGuy11B]

whats up man, glad to see you joined the board, i was the one who took the pics at NOPI, and i just fixed the pics with your plates...sorry about that. i have a question about your seats. What did you use for the rails? how did you get them to fit?


Micah

[89BlackH-Back]

yea that looks pretty good

[Vega88lxi]

Hey mrgadget, if you didnt know they have a pic of your car at
Urbanracer.com heres the link:

[mrgadget]

:rice: GDGuy11B
I got the brackets from my Corbeau Seats and then I had to modify the brackets so the Tenzo seats would fit. It wasn't hard to do.

You can order brackets from http://sportscar-parts.com. I would order brackets for Corbeau Forza seats and then modify them.



Vega88lilx:
I plan on getting either 18" or 19" wheels to fill up the wheel wells. Also thanks for the link at Urban racer.

By the way how do I add in an attachment in the forum

You have to be a 3Geez foundation member (Donate money to help the board) in order to attatch images...

Well he said "attatch" so in order to post pics right off your hard drive need to donate money to the foundation...

and your example would be good for a link, but not an image...

Oh my bad, I didnt realize exactly what he meant.

[joker2]

Yo, mrgadget, what part of MD are you in because I'm in Landover and I've never seen your car around??? Yo, that kit on your car is off the hook!!! Your car is the first one that I've seen done correctly, it made me even think a little bit and I've NEVER thought about a kit on my ride before!!!:D :D

[CARBurn]

Wow, he's not that far from where I'm at.

Any chance I could see your Weber Conversion set-up, mrgadget?

[mrgadget]

joker 2
I live in Elkridge Maryland not too far from Columbia. I don't bring the car out too much.

CarBurn
I'm going to be at Maple Grove on the 19th and 20th. The show is on Sunday. Check me out there. If you don't get a chance to make to Maple Grove, we can hook up later. All of the old school guys are trying to meet at Englishtown on Nov 3rd
Let me know if you can make it

[86lx-iaccordLeXXX]

so what kind of mods did you have to do for that kit? What kind of kit is that?
looks hard from where im standin. but your car is tyte and 86' to da fullest. haha but i have to take car of this car because it;s the only one i got....girlfriend wrecked the other one ;(

[mrgadget]

86ix-iaccordLeXXX
The Kit is a Black Widow Front
Vis Racing sides and Vis Racing rear

[86lx-iaccordLeXXX]

That's kool....did the vis fit easily or was it custom made? sorry to bother...because i wanted to have a 4th gen kit on my car also...don't like the old styles....where is vis located?..

[Y3G]

I wanna do a kit like that to but I want
buddy club front bumper
black widdow rear bumper
jt auto style c-type sideskirts
how did you fit the kit

[mrgadget]

There's a lot of work involved. They really don't make good side skirts for 3rd gen accords and the back bumper must be modified to fit to match the back wheel wel. The front bumper from a 90 to 92 accord should fit. You must watch out to make sure that kit does not curve too much. My entire kit was modfied to fit my car

[Neuspeed87lx]

i had a 4g kit on my 3g and the back fit fine with no mods..the front fit fine after the fenders were pulled out a little and the sideskrits just needed to be shortened....and mrgadget you did an awesome job

[mrgadget]

Hey thanks for the comments
