god damn...... I just realized how I messed up with this line.... Sorry buddy! hahaha

a2ndragoon89: yeah Honda Accord Hatchback, this is when I bought it.



and this is how it looks now

 

wow that looks terrible!

 

But I do like the original body style of that model.

 

how the hell did u do that hahah

 

he mounted them upside down

 

Wish someone would have cought it...

Seriously though, it's a good thing that this happend so I am forced to open the lights again. Besides the dirty car and crooked bumper, they looked GREAT. I wasn't 100% happy with them. Just little slight differences and things I noticed was:
The headlight amber corners didn't match the bumper amber corners, The paint for the shroud came out a little too dark, and if you look hard enough, the shroud looks a little overcut on the inside. I'll get it right this time. 100% cause I'm not settleing for anything less. And this time I won't be rushed..

BTW Carson, you could post the meet pics if you want. I won't have enough time to realign the bumper or wash for a "finished retrofit" thread before I go to NY Monday. Their not finished anyway.

 

Haha, BTW... Today it was about 8pm and just got dark so ppl were flashing their lights at me because I didn't have my lights on so I could turn them on. 5 minutes later, I have people flashing their lights at me because I had my lights on and was blinding everyone!

Just disconnected the HIDs and am running the highbeam --> lowbeam mod now.

 

i think the accord looked better stock but hey that's just me. As for me im redoing my sub box. Rounding the edges counter sinking the screws and filling them in. I have a few days to get stuff done as the cl is broken down waiting on the new alternator. I'm either gonna paint the box white to match the ext or gray to match the int.

 

just bought spc full camber kit from josh @ excelerate going in this weekend + alignment!

 

anyone have any experience with the mounting of accord 94-97 accord foglights? i just got a set...

 

Ahhhh finally finished I chose the gray that matches my plastic trim looks killer. This current project finished

 

Now im elbow deep in the alternator replacement. I've got the old one out and new one bolted up just waiting on my friend to come help with the tension belt and all should be done. Also all is to thanks to fliplyricist1 for his write up on the 3.0 alt change. First pic is of old alt second is of new one

 

Well put a check on this project the hardest part was getting the rear bolt out of the alt and the tension bolt. Good to be back on the road, and now im staying above 12.4 which before was dropping to 11.4. Good times

 

Ok on to the next project for me I just picked up 5 sheets 13x30 of cascade vmax sound damper for $50 shipped it's about 13.5 sq feet worth. Should be plenty to do my trunk lid on maybe a few other panels.

 

Project that I am about to be working on:



12 ton hydraulic press came too but it was missing bolts / press plates so the seller is sending some asap. Then I should be good to go to start!

 

nice choice on the f2's

 

So sexy

 

Had to buy new airbag screws and the 3 outer trim covers for the steering wheel, so I installed those so I can officially check the steering wheel conversion off my list.


Also my buddy put my alternator and battery wires backwards, so I fixed that, didn't test if yet thank god


Since my big 3 pos wire upgrade is done, I installed my v 6 p grounding kit, pretty straight forward, I got a little confused where you have to make your own grounding point, but I figured it out, I also ran the long ground wire in the front instead of the back because it was easier.

Use of stock grounding point for battery


Instead of removing hoses for grounding point, I used the stock alternator ground point


New grounding point you have to create


Cleaned up my amp wires while I was at it

 

Well another project is fixing my dd sub I blew out a vc blah

 

Very nice Chris... As always, it looks factory (except for those red power wires)...

 

Yeah, it all looks factory minus the amp wires, those will be dealt with soon enough, it'll all be black like

Look how stealth I made zero's install


My original install had black tubing, just been lazy with these since I've rerun my wires like 8 times

I just got a roll of black silicone hose to redo all my vaccuum hoses too, the black continues greatest smilie evarrrr

 

what upper control arms are those?

 

look like oem with PU Camber Kit balljoints

 

Yeah, just stock arms with SPC's in them. Picked em up used for $70 with a 120day warranty. Joints are like brand new, can't beat that price.

 

Cleaned up my wiring on the passenger side of the bay last night, mounted my ballast on that side also finally. I have to rewire the driver side ballast wiring due to a cold solder

Ground wires are done, but can't put battery back in yet because I need to get a bracket fabricated for my rad overflow bottle first, it never ends

Remember, if it ain't custom, it aint the black ack

 

Well am in the process of deadening my trunk. So far the lid is done. Has 2.5 sheets of cascade v-max and 3 cans of expanding foam. Helps I could tell a noticeable diff in sound output. And not as bad rattling. Had to take the lid off the car to do it. Not 100% finished with the lid yet

 

My project is getting the 2.2cl road worthy..

- Oil change
- Trans. fluid change
- Cooling system flush
- Distributor
- Plug wires
- Plugs
- Fuel filter
- Air filter, but thinking of V2 as first mod?
- Alignment, possibly with rims (might want to sell)

Any advice would be nice, DIY for the fuel filter would be too.

 

CAI and a Tower strut bar are good "first mods"

 

So I just picked this up, now I have to hitup my friend that has a bodyshop see how much and when

It was a steal I got it with camber kit for $225, he already cut the rear and we measured it fits perfect


lip kit(wings west)

 

I got my car on a meter today, and did a 137.8db at 43Hz. I took 2nd in my class and got beat by a dude who had 3kw (I only have ~1200). Unfortunately, I was the quietest guy at the show, but I was also in the lowest class (Street A for those that are interested), so whatever... I'll post a build log in the newly formed Audio section here on the 1st gen CL subforum... Stay posted if you're interested, and I'm working on a new box design/build to try and get up near 140db with only 1200w... Should be a fun challenge, especially with (currently) no deadener and the back seats have to be up since they don't fold down by design...

 

Thats pretty good #'s for a start. I am currently building my box for my 2 12's. And yes mattastick I'm using 45's this time lol.

 

Let's try to keep the audio to the audio forum

 

Ok but it's a current project being worked on? If Such a thing does not go here what does????

 

You're correct, but I had the audio/electronic forum added for this purpose, the last 4-5 pages of the projects thread is speaker box builds. So I created a dedicated thread since we have a dedicated forum

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?p=10802436

 

ah ok gotcha didnt see that thread thanx

 

I kind of search(I always do anyways)but anybody with side-skirts,did you put them over the o.e.m or take them off and put the new ones on?

 

All my junk is being installed as we speak
-2001 gsr steering wheel
-polyurethane bushings
-sway bars
-brembo rotors
-brake pads
-

 

Its taking fucking forever! I still don't have my goddamn car back and i'm getting very irritated!

 

gnate whats the cheapest price u found? for the bushings that is.

 

I listed it in the polyurethane bushing thread.


I just got my car back the body roll has significantly decreased!! It's definitely way stiffer.
