    Re: My second accord, 89 ca6 se-i

    i got some seats from a 91 prelude si.

    they are gonna be so sweet in the car.

    i also put the springs in. in combo with the tokicos my car rides so smooth now, ill take a pic or a few tomorrow after im done with the seats.
    also picked up a spare air idle valve, and a spare vacuum advance for the dizzy, just in case. because you can never have enough of those things.

    Re: My second accord, 89 ca6 se-i

    some pics here. yeah the front might be a little higher than the back, but it shows more in the pics than it does when you are actually standing by the car.. i tried to do the pinch fork mod, but i noticed if you cut the fork, the little indention on the shock itself wont be lined up with the bolt. any suggestions?

    the seats are in, and they are FANTASTIC. i got all 4 bolts in on each seat.
    swapped the outer rails, ( rails closest to the doors ) with accord rails. drilled the hole for one of the studs for each rail, because the hole is about an inch off from the seat hole.
    driver side went smooth no problems at all.
    passenger side i had to shim the rail from the seat with some washers, because it sat lopsided.
    the outer rails didnt line up at all, so i persuaded them to line up, and they did.
    passenger seat slide is a little tight because i made it fit, but its fine.

    I LIKE A LOT! The front look higher because the wheel arch is higher in the front than in the back. The prelude seats are always a great upgrade.

    Sweet car! Can't wait till my 86 is ready to come out of the garage. How low is the drop and what size tires are you running? I'm indecisive and having a hard time with what size tire/wheels to run on mine, but I know I want K-Sport coilovers. $1300 coilovers on a car I gave $300 for but hay it's a Honda 👍

    Nice work with the seats.

    I just forced the pinch fork bolt and it would 'indent' or rather thread through the shock housing just fine. I gained about 1/2" from that and its all good.

    Funny thing is that they look almost like the stock 89 lxi wheels.

    Are they offset? How wide are they?

    Re: My second accord, 89 ca6 se-i

    yeah ive always thought they look like the lxi wheels.

    they are 16x8.5 32 offset, but when i put adapters on they will be lower offset, which is what im aiming for.

    volvo lip, incomplete at the moment.
    perfect length for facelift bumper, but does require some modification.
    ziptied on at the moment, i will be bolting it on soon.
    its pretty damn big, scrapes on almost everything.
    and my neighbors sei sedan in the background.

    YEAAAAHH buddy.

    got my adapters.

    4x100 to 5x120.7 2 piece. 1.5 inch total thickness.
    they came with all the bolts to hold the 2 pieces together. and the center bore has a interlocking lip.

    ill be getting tires asap and throwing these on.

    final offset with be +5.5. unless i need to add a spacer on the 4x100 side. i shouldnt need to.

    fender pulling imminent.
    test fit on one of my wheels on the rear.
    the fender is sitting ON the tire, it needs one hell of a pull lol.
    suspension doesnt even fully compress because its still sitting on the tire.
    No im not driving it with them on it yet.

    Nice


    You're gonna have to pull some decent negative camber though.
