Pix of my Accord and a Turbo V6

Here's some pix of my car and my friend's car. Both 2000 Accord V6 coupes. My friend is running a custom turbo from HKS (the exact same components on their prototype purple Accord..he bought them) along with a FULL level-10 tranny. No dynos yet because there's still a TON of tuning to be done but I thought maybe you guys would like to see.



The turbo i smounted behind the engine under a heat shield. Here you can see the piping from the Intercooler and the HKS Super-Sequential BOV


The shop that perfromed the work is The Performance Factory in NYC, home of the world's fastest and quickest Supra. Here is some of their work..
This Red Supra has 800RWHP on a built auto-tranny

This Green one was bone-stock last week. Now it has a Bomex Kit, TRD wing and 19" RH M5's with big brakes

uhm... it's illegal just about everywhere to park in front of a fire hydrant. That's a good way to get your car towed or windows smashed if there actually was a fire nearby.

see the attachment.... there's nothing you can do if this happens to your car either because you were parked illegally. This is actually quite common in NYC. A friend of mine lived there and he saw this a few times.

Chadhova thanks for the compliment but my car pales in comparison to the turbo V6. All the show parts aren't in yet but when completed the white car will have 18" Volk Racing LE37's (gunmetal grey with polished lip) FiberImages Carbon Fiber hood plus the OEM kit, Wings West 3-piece wing, and HID's the car already has.

Elite I've had the TL since may, it's a lease car for my dad..

wiggingboy thanks for the compliment

about the fire hydrant, well thats what comes with running a shop in NYC, there just isn't enough room in the shop so some of the customer cars are parked outside during the day. I wouldn't mind working there just to drive the cars in and out.

I would think they do that everywhere, including Cali. The firefighters are basically teaching the selfish idiot not to park next to a hydrant the hard way. IMO, they deserve it.
I can't see the plate on the BMW too well but it's not NY.

Acura3200 (Jason) man you have one hell of a archive of images.
