This is my accord....




2/04/2010: Well, its been quite a while since an update. So alas here it is. The car hasn't gone through too many rapid changes in the past year. But I will update with where it is now due to not sure what I have said and what I haven't. The first picture is how the car currently is.
It's sitting on an Eibach Pro-Kit and 17' Drag DR-33s which are Volk knock offs. I have also done a black vinyl on the roof to continue the "Panda" theme I have going on throughout the car. The blue interior LEDs have also been replaced now with White leds to give it a cleaner look.
My original drop was Neuspeed Sports, I then moved onto Tein S-Techs but had to replace them with the Pro-Kit after the new rims would rub too much on the fender.
Mod section has been updated with where it is now.
Enjoy :)
1/12/2008: Not a lot has gone into the car lately. Most money for college and stuff like that. So it has been sitting still. Main thing I'm on the look out for is some 17s. I'm almost at 100k miles, so I'm not gonna bother with anymore performance. Not to mention the lack of power gain you get from the few mods available really is not worth it. Plus more then likely, around the spring I should be getting a new car. I already know what I'm getting but I'll leave it as a surprise for you guys. So stay tuned for a whole new car. :)
8/31/2007: Not a lot of updates on my part lately. Sorry about that. The type r grill ended up falling through. They sent me the wrong one and I didn't feel like bothering again. So I ended up getting black chrome emblems instead. The drop is installed and settled. It's about a 2 finger gap now which is exactly what I wanted. On top of that I bought a megan muffler since my magnaflow was pretty old and starting to sound raspy. Not putting a ton in the car right now, as I just started college and got to work on that.
7/7/2007: Well, finally got my rims back which look awesome. I'm very happy with the outcome on those. I also bought some Tockio Blue shocks today. Hopefully should have those by sometime next week. Another thing I bought is a new "type r" black grill for the front of the car. It's basically just a grill without the Honda "H."
I also got the piping completely fixed on my exhaust. So it's now a clean single.
6/5/2007: I had to back out the shocks/springs package. I still have some neuspeed springs left over which I might throw on the stock shocks, since its not a huge drop.
I bought blackhoused oem headlights to replace my others, I also bought a OTTO 6000k HID Kit.
I also dropped my rims off to get painted black. Finally, I debadged my brown pinstripe off the car. It looks a lot better, though taking it off was a pain.
I'll put pics of all the new stuff up when I get it all in and installed.
5/15/2007: I got my hands on a good deal for a Shocks/Springs combo package. It's Tokico Blue Shocks with Tockio Sport Springs (I think). I haven't got them installed yet, but should in the future.
I also got my windows tinted finally. I did 50% up front, since it's the legal limit in Ohio. Then I did 20% in the back, you can tell the difference but it looks pretty dang good still.
All pictures are from my cell phone, so sorry about the quality.
---------------------
The story behind the Accord isn't as dramatic as some others. But for me, it is truly a wonder. When I was 16, my first car was a 2000 2 Door Hyundai Accent. It was a car both my brothers had gone through and they did not keep it in good shape for me. For any of you who have been in the car, it is truly a piece on its own. It's slow, small, and ugly.
Through the 20k miles or so I had the car, every problem on the planet happened. Most importantly the brakes and the transmissions. We almost ended up putting more into the car then we bought it for.
When I went with my mother to the dealer to pick up the car after normal matience, this is when they said the brakes were out. It's safe to say my mother freaked and we walked straight over to the Honda dealer. We found the accord just sitting there, it had just showed up on the lot that day. At first I was iffy cause of the White, but the more I looked at it, the more I fell in love. After a quick test drive and a sad look on the face of the couple hoping we'd say no. I drove home in my new Honda. And from that day started a wonderful relationship between a boy and his car and most importantly, my bank account started to depleat. It was the best (and worst money wise) thing to ever happen to me.
I ended up buying her used for about 12k. The car is not paid off yet, I make pretty high payments which hurt my lust for mods. But every now and then, with spare money, I put a little more into the car.
It includes power everything, leather, and a sunroof. And its an automatic. Honda decided to make all the 98-02 V6 models automatics.
The following pictures are right after I got the car.




Here's the engine, a 3.0L V6.

After I debadged the "Accord" and "V6" symbol from the back of the car.

Some exhaust tips I added when I first got me car, beat the stock look. I like my catback more.

And nothing is complete without my radar detector. This is a whisler Pro 58. I bought it for $106 from
Radar Roy. It was worth every penny.

This was my first mod to the car...
An AEM V2 Cold Air Intake.
