Bought another se-i this one is mint
SO I WASNT REALLY LOKKING TO BUY ANOTHER CAR BUT I WAS JUST LOOKING AEOUND ON CRAIGS AND DECIDED TO SEE IF ANYONE WAS SELLING ANY 2G ACCORDS JUST FOR FUN......WELL I FOUND ONE AND I WENT TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND ENDED UP BUYING IT. THE LADY BOUGHT ANOTHER CAR AND JUST STOPPED DRIVING THE 2G. COST ME 800 CASH AND CAME WITH A MANILLA ENVELOPE FULL OF SERVICE RECORDS AND RECENT ROUTINE MAINTENANCE FOR THE ENTIRE ORIGINAL OWNERS LIFE. I STILL HAVE THE FIRST SE-I.... GOING TO SWAP OUT THE BACK SEAT GET HER PUT BACK TOGETHER AND HOPEFULLY SELL HERE TO CASH FOR CLUNKERS. :( HERES A FEW SNAPS OF THE NEW MINT ONE.
PSSS
I WAS SO LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND A SET OF BRAND NEW EIBACH LOWERING SPRINGS ON EBAY. AUCTION SAID THEY WERE IN THE ORIGINAL BOX COVERED IN DUST BUT WERE NEW AND NEVER USED. THERE WAS 7 DAYS LEFT WASNT SURE HOW LONG THEY WERE GOING TO BE UP THERE SO I BIT THE BULLET AND BOUGHT THEM FOR 200$ SHIPPED. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL BE HERE SOON.
I REALLY WANT TO KEEP THIS CAR AS ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE. I STILL HAVE ALL THE PARTS FOR A 5 SPEED SWAP BUT IM STILL CONTIMPLATING ON WHETHER I REALLY WANT TO START REMOVING PARTS AND CHANGING THINGS OVER SEEING HOW THE CAR IS IN PERFECT RUNNING CONDITION. IM NOT SURE YET BUT I REALLY WANT A 5 SPEED. IT WOULD BE DOPE

Re: Bought another se-i this one is mint
I MUST SAY I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD EVER GET A PAIR OF THESE ESPECIALLY BRAND NEW. IM VERY PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASE!! I PLAN TO PUT THESE SUCKERS ON WHEN I GET A NEW RIM AND TIRE COMBO. THINKING OF GOING DRAG DR20 GOLD MACHINED FACE WITH 10 OFFSET.
OK SO HERE IS HOW THEY CAME IN THE MAIL.
BOX WAS PRETTY BEAT. I WONDER WHERE THE MERCHANT GOT THEM FROM? DEAD STOCK?

Re: Bought another se-i this one is mint
You'll have to get new shocks for the springs, as the OEM ones will be too weak. Try to find some that are adjustable, so you can fine tune them. When I put Eibachs on my 3G, I also got Bilstein H-D's. The fronts were too weak, and I ended up pogo-sticking over bumps. I then ordered another pair, revalved by Bilstein. They were still not quite right, so the first pair went back to Bilstein for a revalve. Bottom line, it took me 3 tries to get it right.

Hey thanks for the advice. Yes you are definetly right about upgrading struts, but the only current struts i can find new are KYB GR-2. The Car Currently has 1 yr old KYB GR-2 struts on it now and the car was stored for more than half of that time. The car rides like a new and feels nice and tight.....so i think that i might run the eibachs on those for now so and see how they perform. I see that classic garage has koni inserts might just buy those and use 2ndGenGuys tutorial but then i still need back ones?.
Re: Bought another se-i this one is mint
yeah 2nd gen springs are rare. but you have to get some konis. it will lower it a bit

Yeah definetly wish the made yellows....
I got around to making a better more improved cold air intake. This time I routed it towards the front of the car sort of like gsr or 94-2000 integras have. i thought it was worth a shot. it still needs some fab work but ill eventually get her up to parr.

seems like the best place as air will be free flowing when on the highway

Re: Bought another se-i this one is mint
That's how i have my CAI on my SEI. works better then that mess of stock intake
Re: Bought another se-i this one is mint
Really that's awesome!!! Yeah I figured anything is better than stock plastic. It's 3" all the way from Tb to Filter. Ingenuity is a must for our cars. :) Hey are you running any kind of header? I was thinking about trying the OBX header for 86-89 accord? Any thoughts? I'm thinking cross member issues.
Re: Bought another se-i this one is mint
I haven't yet but i have been reading that is an issue.
Re: Bought another se-i this one is mint
You put those springs on yet? Those pro-kits for the 2g aren't really much stiffer than stock, if at all. I noticed no change in ride, unless I had the Koni's cranked up to full stiff... You'll probably be fine with stock struts.

No unfortunately not....I plan on putting them on this Friday when I'm off of work. Thanks for the heads up on the suspension review it's good stuff.

this is how my intake looks. not as far down as your. i think the pipe was from a 2000 integra.

Re: Bought another se-i this one is mint
I have been thinking of buying some cheap ones off craigslist to see if i can find one with more of a bend to it.
Re: Bought another se-i this one is mint
Re: Bought another se-i this one is mint
The chrome fits in with the rest of the look, nice.
Re: Bought another se-i this one is mint
Re: Bought another se-i this one is mint
I've been really thinking about puttin on my springs when I get my rims and tires. I tried today but it was more time than I had. I even read 2ndGenGuys Writeup on how to get the job done...
I have been sleeping and dreaming about this rim in this certain color for the 2g but opinions and thoughts are always encouraged
Drag Dr20 10offset

Re: Bought another se-i this one is mint
Wait, a -10 offset? I think that might be a bit much for that car let alone a +10. I think you should lower the car first, you will be surprised at how it looks way better, but won't really look lowered. Might not be any good for a dished wheel without more lowering to get rid of the wheel gap.
Re: Bought another se-i this one is mint
Wait there was a fuel injected model of these cars? I had no idea... that's awesome

yeah I think your right better be safe and see how she will look. I'll probably keep it stock for now but eventually I plan to get those rims either deep or normal offset. Hey you wouldn't happen to know what the correct timing degree is for the Se-I would you?
