My Ride, First Real Post As Well...

[Beaver]

So hey guys! I finally decided to get off my lazy ass, dust off the old camera, and take some pics. I've been lurking on this forum for some time, but finally signed up (Can ya see a trend? Lol, I'm a bit of a procrastinator). So here is my 3G Accord, I love this car; I just got it this past summer. Everything about it just feels right. When I got it, it had about 90k original miles on it; the original owner was some older guy, so it was in fairly good shape. I aim to keep it clean and do some minor stuff on it as I get the money. It sucks to be a broke college student ha-ha! So anyway, thanks for reading this, if you have, and I'm glad to be a part of this so far amazing 3G resource!

[Beaver]

Woo Hoo... I was trying to use my FTP from school, but I'm a moron, so I used Myspace.

[Strugglebucket]

More Pics Guys...










I hope ya like my ride, I think I made a pretty good choice, even if it is carbed, oh yeah, if you have any input, feel free to share.

[gfrg88]

that looks clean, and its only got 90K miles!!!

i think as your fist mod, for free, is flipping the lid on your carb

[A18A]

ya, got any pics of the engine?

[Beaver]

Haha I actually thought about that! I think I might when I go home for Christmas break just for drills. Naw, no pics of the engine yet, I'll take some tomorrow though. Nothing special under the hood though, but it is fairly clean. Yeah, the only stuff I need to do with it soon is replace a piece of rear window molding (my clips broke) and the jackass honda tech sold me the wrong ones.

nice..

[TheWatcher]

That's hot!

Treat her right.

Peace.

[Beaver]

For sure, I am a fanatic about keeping her clean. I'm just sad I haven't had the chance to wax in a while. I also need to find a solution with my hood, my clearcoat is beginning to chip.

[MattsAccord]

Super clean car man.

[1320boy]

Very nice find, looks so good it should be in a Honda musium.
And i agree, treat her good........ because if you dont.......
I will hunt you down and KILL YOU!

More pics please. OOh, what do you have planed for her?????

[A18A]

lol oops

[jonrichert]

my clearcoat is beginning to chip.

oh how i wish that was the biggest issue with my car
it's a shame all the clean-ass 3rd gens are the automatics that were owned by seniors. good luck with the car man, and welcome to the board!

[Beaver]

I plan to:

Get new rims & tires

New dampers but keep the stock springs (current shocks seem warn and I want to keep the stock ride height prefferably because of where my folks live and i kind of want to rally-theme my car)

Paint brake calipers and drums
Paint side moldings
Fix/Touch up my clearcoat issue
New "knockoff" HID Headlights

Try and find a civic airbox and install a CAI w/it
Find a front lip

Find some strutbars/tiebars?

foglamps & a new muffler

[A18A]

man i just cant get over how clean that car is for how old it is, shit, i set it as my wallpaper, thats the cleanest accord i have ever seen honestly

[AccordEpicenter]

wow really clean. Looks good

[AccordDX86]

Wow. Nice and clean. That shiny steering wheels sure does do it. haha. Awesome car.

[RiCANACCORD]

Really clean! I wonder if the past owner re-painted the car, because the paint looks sick! Now my recommendation is that you stay with those rims because that car looks hot like that. It is like perfect for an 80's car exhibition. Take good care of your ride!

[russiankid]

you need some engine pics, but very nice, very clean, but auto =(,lol, but very nice tho

[Beaver]

Yeah I was gonna take engine pics today, but it was like sub 30 degrees outside today, and I am a pussy when it comes to the cold. The owner before me repainted certain trim parts, but the base paintjob is stock original. I wouldn't believe it either, except for my clearcoat issues.

[Cheeseburger]

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[2drSE-i]

actually i believe it very well. my car was garaged until 5 years ago and the clearcoat is the only thing that was bad until a few months ago, now there is slight oxidation on the roof. with the exception of my fender, which is primered,, and a headlight assembly, which is white.
