    Pics of my 3g-H

    Well, i bought this car at the end of the summer. never been a honda guy. i own a toyota supra tt and a 05 corolla xrs that is also supercharged(aftermarket). the xrs had everything you can imagine done to it. it is by far my baby.

    Anyways, 87 honda accord lx-i. when bought it was at monster truck height, paint peeling(bluish gray color) brakes grinding and squealing belts never would stop squealing, needed oil/trans flush/radiator flush, new tires yada yada yada. this car was in horrible shape. well i got it for around 300 bucks.

    this is what i did to it in just a few months:

    painted car white.
    painted wiper cowl and all trim(exterior).
    lowered on coilovers(ksports).
    new tires, wheels(i painted them gunmetal).
    custom greddy sp2 exhaust since there was no muffler/exhaust at all when i purchased the car.
    fixed drivers door handle.
    shaved emblems and filled all holes.(i also do body work lol).
    custom front and rear lip kit.
    short throw shifter.
    racing pedals.
    new carpet.
    prelude seats with custom brackets.
    custom hood vents with fabbed up plates on the underside to redirect heat or water.
    custom chassis brace in the rear hatch.
    blacked out all lights.
    filled holes in front bumper.
    new brakes.
    oil change and flush.
    tranny change and flush.
    new plugs, wires, cap.
    radiator flush and leaks fixed.

    here's some pics. tell me what you think. i myself am quite proud.

    Nice rides! And that is a fuckload of power for a supercharged 2ZZ! How much boost is that? What supercharger is on it? Also didn't realize Brembo made a 12 piston caliper...

    garage door bottom seal. call it the "hdr" front lip. (home depot racing).

    and i just finished up the side skirts. it is like 20 degrees and i did it in the dark with a head lamp. yes i am dedicated and a die hard. took about 2 hours or so to do both sides. 10:15 here lol.

    very clean car, I'm starting to really like the no emblem look, I modified a prelude badge, cut off the 2.0 part, and beveled the edges, looks like a factory piece, i may put that in the corner and just my honda in the grill. nothing else. post some pictures of the strut brace,.

    you sir did your homework lol.

    eaton m45 supercharger from the lotus elise. see they made trd superchargers for the corolla "s" which puts it's power around 187whp which is about what the 2zz is stock from the factory.

    i'm sure you know seeings you sure knew what engine was under my hood that the lotus elise has the same engine. well the m45 bolts up no problem but i had to get a smaller radiator(honda to be exact)and mount it to the drivers side instead of centered seeings the supercharger needed the clearance.

    i also run a full standalone. had the hydra but it was crap. took away my a/c and also the stock temp gauge. so i went with the a'pexi power fc which gives me the luxury of the a/c and stock temp gauge.

    i also have a bit of internal work done. monkey wrench racing supports the
    2zz very well and am able to run 18lbs of boost with no issues.

    another hardcore hatch owner, I have all these pieces done for mine, but my health hasn't let me get out there as much as I would like, I was out there yesterday fitting these headers again, my roof developed a leak, so i had to lay in water. I need to get mine back together

    yes sir i am. i'm like the mailman, nor rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor the dead of night. i really enjoy this hatch the more i mess with it. now that the cosmetics and suspension are all done i am concentrating on power.
