    British Accord New member!!

    Hi, Just got a 3G Accord 2.0 EX Carb Auto. 58000 miles, 2 owners £250. Not bad eh? Just fitted a set of 4 JBL woofers, 4 tweeters and 4 crossovers today all running of a Sony X-plod head unit (amp on its way). Can anyone recommend a good cheap sub?

    Being a British car it has the Jap spec front and rear lights, i'm not sure wether I prefer the pop up lights or mine.

    Future plans (going for the pimped out look!)
    Gold plated H's (on order)
    Stainless Arch covers (should be here on Monday)
    Sub and amp to add to existing system
    Alloys (preferably 15" honda ones)
    Sprayed bumpers, mirrors and handles
    Dark smoked windows (did 1 the other day)
    Induction kit of some kind
    Exhaust system (monza one looks good)

    Anyway here are the pics, let me know what you think. (by the way great message board)























    I'll update you with pics of all the mods

    Any other people from the UK with 3Gs let me know and we'll meet up some time!

    Clean car man.
    I may only get 13-18 MPG, but try and follow me in the mud and you'll get stuck.

    welcome, you have a nice clean car.
    the only question i have is why does your car is lower on driver side (right). it is looks like you have flat tire on that side.
    i would make sure to check out the springs. may be something wrong with them.

    P.S. i think you have a flat tire.

    Edit: i thought that euro cars had KM/H instead of MPH ... ?

    thanks for all the replys guys. The ground that the car is on isnt totally flat so i think that makes it look lower on one side. The car is acctually cleaner than it looks, i'll get some higher res photos up soon.

    As for the MPH / KPH thing, most euro countries do have Kph but the UK is MPH.
    I'll try and get some pics of my friends 89 2.0 EXi auto with 17" lenso's. Looks very nice!

    Is That Right... only 58k miles on it!?!?!?!? i guess that'd explain why the engine bay looks new.. along w/ the rest of the car.

    I'm with TWOLOUD, I want some tail lights if you can get them. I know the trunk lights won't fit, you have to have the trunk lid as well. I just want the corner lights if you can get them. If not, it's cool.

    That car is clean as hell. Good deal. Crazy low miles too.

    to 3geez.com! Enjoy!

    heh, i like it basicly the way it is. i'd say go with a body kit, painted the same color as you got on the body now. are your wheels steel with hubcaps or are they aluminium? they look similar to my prelude rims. i'd say go with some wider tire on them. looks good man.
    Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™

    Hi Again, looks like I should set up a business exporting Accord tail lights. I'll get a pic of them at night cos that'll make you want them even more!

    By the way, just to make you more jealous i've driven an Aerodeck, it was bright red 2.0 EXi but £800! so i didn't buy it.

    I'm not gonna go with a body kit as i like the look of cars without, maybe just a front splitter.

    Lenso's? Yea definately do that! I've been wanting the 5 spoke Lenso's but I cant find anyone that sells them. You wouldnt happen to know a dealer that sells them, would you?
