My 1g Thread

[2ndGenGuy]

Holy crap! I haven't updated this thread forever!

Let's see what have I done:

4x100 Conversion with 89 CRX rotors, 86 Accord calipers, and 87 Prelude rear discs. (Covered in another thread)
Lowered the whole car 2 inches.
Koni "Special D" shocks.
Reinstalled a rear seat.
NB Miata wheels 15x6 w/ 205/50-15's
MegaJolt Lite Jr (Also covered in another thread)

Got a new clock from the wrecking yard (one that works), and stock seats (instead of the 84 Accord seats) with some good condition black vinyl covers. Also found a color-matched LX steering wheel. Forgot to grab the steering column surround though.

Just last night, I worked my ass off getting the car ready for JCCS. I got the interior all super douched out, and cleaned up a bit in the engine bay. Interior pics for now:

Color coat time! Looks tight I can tell it's not a dust collecter.

Not anymore! Yeah Color coat sounds like a good idea. Going to try to find some next week that actually matches my car. Had a guy a NAPA try to eyeball it, and it came out kinda purple (that's what I wound up using for the engine and center console). Needed more brown, but looking at some of the color swatches, I think they might have a pretty close match. Wonder how it would do on the vinyl seats....

Took a road trip for work today. Ran out of sunlight before I could get sweet pics. But these will have to do for now. (Y)









Wish my car actually looked as good as it does in the pics!

[Hazwan]

Not enough lows!

Also, no parking.

[A18A]

at first i thought those wheels where ugly, but now they look pretty decent on there!

[2ndGenGuy]

Thanks! (Y) a lot of people seem to not like my wheels ... they got shitloads of compliments on the Miata. I like how they look on here too, myself. Buuut they are what I had to put on the car... so maybe down the road I'll get something new.

[EbidaDragon]

I absolutely adore your car. Everything you've done is amazing, and inspiring just the same!

[79cord]

Great to see more pictures, they do let it look gorgeous.
I definitely love those wheels. They do take a little getting use to on the Accord, but that's no bad thing. More 'period' wheels can get predictable and I always thought the Accord had a more European look than 1980's "JDM" which can be too sharp for it.
Still a shame you couldn't get those '84 seats mounted lower.

Rigged up my e-brake cables to work with the Prelude discs. Kinda took 79Cord's idea with using the old drum brake actuators. I cut them off of the old drum brakes and welded them onto the Prelude brackets. Works great, problem is that I have them fully adjusted, and they still aren't tight enough. So I think I am going to have some shorter cables made. They are a simple wire cable with the two posts on the end, so I can't imagine it's very hard to have done. But it's nice to at least have enough e-brake to be able to park the car.

[1GCustomAccord]

Is that a MIG weld? Nice job btw.

[Hazwan]

Rear dick ftw (Y)
