    YIkes. Picture posts in all directions.!...
    Wasn't sure which to write in.

    Rrrubbery.
    You're making me like 13's again though.
    Those must be seriously narrow tyres & low offset for that much stretch effect on 13x6!, Mines already on 14x6.

    I'll say this again, SICK!

    Love the wheels and drop. Looks mean! Time to chop my springs lol!

    I like what you've done to the door pillars. Did you remove the chrome bits or just sprayed over it? I can't decide wheter to leave it in chrome or simply paint it black.

    Re: and a few more =P

    Unless he means the effects of the wild wheel-offset.....

    With 6 inch rims he's only 1" bigger than USA standard & tyres possibly even narrower than original to get the 'stretch' look.

    Most road-testers of the era wondered why you would find the need for power steering in the Accord.

    guys, chill.....well, yes the road testers did complain about the need of a p.steering in the 'small' accord in its day. they wondered why a small car would need a p.steering. i guess im just lazy...lol...no hard feelings. and another thing, the offsets were what i was talking about. neway, hazwan might laugh at what im gonna say next but i think im gonna have to agree with him on the fact that the manual steering is far better than the p.steering. im mainly saying that coz my pump puked p.steering oil all over the engine bay.....real mess!!!! shit... il have to clean it up when i get back. i have had a constant headache with my p.steering system since the 1st day it went in. well, guess its my denial that i might have to soon be back to the older rack.....:-(....pity meeeeee.........
    and yeah, im sure that there are many people out there with p.steerings that work like a champ. i jus feel im unlucky and need to face facts.
    fyi....so far spent around USD$600 on the p.steering system and counting.......buhuhu

    Why don't you just request vanity plates with the same number? When you get the new plates, pitch 'em and put the old ones on. Can't imagine the cops would ever notice. Or care.

    Oh man that's brilliant. The suck thing in Washington is that you can't order a vanity plate in the same pattern as a regular plate. Maybe the old license plates would work though since they use a different pattern for plates now. Gonna have to find me a set!!!
