Abby the Accord

[NastyNancy]

Ok so here's a quick recap from my newbie intro thread:

I'm Ethan, 18 years of age. College, job at America's Tire and Abby are my life. Bought her bone stockkk for $1800, 184K and counting (runs like a champ).

Boredom found me so I started explore, clean and take things apart.

My uncle is a long time Honda tech so he helped me do a tune up which included: timing belt and other belts, water pump, thermostat, crank and cam seals, valve cover gasket, plugs/wires and filters etc etc.

My intent was to lower it when I bought so that time came. Stripping the suspension was good times.

Ground Controls/Tokicos and custom 3 inch extended top hats all the way around.

Dad and I cut open the strut towers to accommodate the extended top hats. (Pass is cut and driver is not).

Ground Controls turned all the way down are insane. The ucas are barely off the inner fenders and the mud flaps are on the ground. I drove it around the block this way...didn't get very far.

So we raised the front an inch and I've been dailying it since! Looked forever on Craigslist for new wheels and I finally found some 2 piece 16s that fit nicely I must say.

All I have to say is that I love this freaking car. Got it aligned recently, the toe came back to zero but I've got -4 camber up front and -3 out back, good thing I work at a tire place. Cruise and the windshield washer have been deleted due to lack of interest.

I've got a few more things in the process so I'll keep you guys posted, thanks for looking!

looks awesome! just needs a front lip now, but not an overkill one

Thanks. Yeah I've thought about it but my driveway and speed bumps around my house would eat it twice a day, hmm. Maybe soon though.

Damn, I like what you did with those 16s! They look awesome with that amount of lowering.

Car is looking great!

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Looks really good... Wheels suit the car great too, I have always loved 16s on our cars. Welcome to the forum!

I sometimes drive this one, which is belongs to my brother in law...
