Got some new parts going on next week. Coilovers, new cv axles, axle seals, and continuing to clean up the engine bay. Figured I would post up what she looks like now before lowering it. It's a nasty day but I wanted to get something posted. Only things I have done so far is a new cd player, new headlights, removed the black box under hood, and new muffler. Let me know what you think guys!

Here's some pics of the CRX I built before getting the Accord. I sold this car sadly!!! I put so much time and effort into this car because it was in such bad shape when I got it. Just a little of my background in Honda's. Let me know what you think! Thanks

Your cars look awesome! I tried that same telepathic steering kit you have on your CRX. It didn't work very well for me though. How did you get yours to work?

The accord looks really clean, should be a good base for a project car. Crx looked really nice too. I love those seats!

Thanks man! I am gonna go pretty low about like the CRX. Where I can still drive it anywhere and it handle good, but be slammed.

Thanks bro! Yeah I think about stuff everyday. Right now I want to get it lowered and spend a lot of time detailing the insides of the doors and under the hood and under the car.

Thanks bro! I had a NRG quick release hub on there with a Momo steering wheel. I really liked it a lot. I was really tight and worked extremely well. Of course I had about $400 in everything for it so I guess it should. LOL Here's a pic of it.

Thanks man! Yeah I had a full race setup and got sick of it. So I reupholstered my original seat which was the biggest pain in the ass ever! But it looked great. Here's a couple of pics.

Wow, that accord looks clean! The CRX looks awesome but I could never see myself in one, I don't know why. lol but I can't wait to see what you do with the accord!

Thanks bro. Yeah the CRX was fun and handled good. But the car is so impractical to do anything with. I just got tired of babysitting the car all the time and I lost interest in dumping money into it. So I see what you mean. I would never buy another one. :thumbup:

Well I worked on her for about 4 hours this morning. Got it lowered, new cv axles and seals, cleaned up the engine bay and removed somemore crap, and removed the old catalytic converter. I am really pleased with how it looks. Next is wheels and painting valve cover and air box.

Thanks man! I would like to slam it like the CRX but I have a crazy driveway and I drive it a lot. But I still might go down another 1/2 inch.

Man I am having an extremely hard time trying to figure out what I want to do about wheels. I cleaned up my steelies and I'm going to paint my hub caps for the time being. I am thinking off doing some adapters and running like a 94 accord rims 15. Or polishing out my steelies and spacing them out a little. I just don't know. I have looked at tons of rims and just can't make up my mind what I like and can afford!

Clean accord! I didn't know you can take so much stuff out of an engine bay! lol.....If you want, you can post pics of the wheels you like the most and we can help you choose?

I like them. I am not crazy about the black wheels with the color of my car. I could always paint them. I am saving for wheels right now so I won't be ready for another month or so. But I do like the ones you have. Do you have a pic of them on your car I could see?

Well I have decided to go with a set of Enkei J-Speed wheels. 15x7. And some 195/50R15 Kumho's. I am not exactly sure what offset to get though. And I am ordering a new muffler today. A oval chrome Magnaflow. Should have pics up this weekend.

Those are gonna good on the accord! The original offset is +45 so anything from +45 to +38 should be good IMO.
