Do you have the stick or auto I-4 ?

 

I was not a big fan of the 8G sedan initially but, it's starting to grow on me. (Honestly, the best looking Accord sedan to date is still the 5th gen. ) But , the 8G EX-L V6 coupe is hot!!

 

Here's mine:





2008 V6 6MT

 

sweet, i love the hfp kit.

 

Oooooooohhhh and it's a 6spd!

 

Picked this up yesterday and will be putting in on this weekend. 17mm TL rear sway.

 

You haven't upgraded the rear sway bar yet?! You're in for a real treat then.

 

Stock TL swaybar?! I put the 22mm Comptech in and it really gets me into trouble

 

Us 7th gens have a 14mm sway bar stock. We can either get the 17mm or the 20mm rear sway off of the TL. Many choose to go with the 20 because its big, cheap, and appealing, while some go for the 17 because of concerns that the handling of the car can get squirrely. I personally chose the 20 and haven't really had any close calls with the bar, but then again I also drive pretty normal in the turns.

I don't know if any 7th gen has gone for bigger before, other than the Comptech. Doesn't H&R make a 24mm for the TLs?

 

I'm pretty conservative when it comes to suspension. I have a very mild drop and figured the 17mm would be enough to give me a bit better sway control. I'm not auto-xing or anything so it's just a little upgrade for some fun canyon carving weekend drives.

 

Washed my car today and snapped some random picts.

 

Did the v6 Accord sedan ever in a black on black color option during 03-05? BTW, nice Accords everyone.

 

How is much that part? And how many hours of labor would a shop charge to put it on. Its something I might want to get.

 

I don't think it was available at all on the 7G until the 07 model year. (I know for certain that combo wasn't available on the 06.)

 

The total for the bar, bolts, bushings and brackets was $40. I ordered them from OEMACURAPARTS.com. Shipping was going to be $12, but it turns out they are located about 30 minutes from me, so they let me pick them up and save $12.

It took me about an hour to do mine only because my exhaust was in the way of the back bolt on each bracket which made it a total PITA to get the bolts out and back in after switching out the bar and brackets. My exhaust is custom bent so it takes a slightly different route than most. If you have a stock exhaust or even a non-custom catback though it should only take 20 minutes max. The online Honda repair manual I have access to says Honda would charge 0.9 hours labor to replace it, but if you can jack the car up and unbolt stuff, I'd say just DIY.

 

That's right. We had to wait until 2007 to get the black/black V6 6MT Sedan. (the wrecked one above). It was very rare. When I totalled it we were not able to get another.

 

Really, thats kind of odd. I have been looking at 7th gens on the internet lately and I was wondering why I was not able to find that color option. It looks like it only comes in the coupe then (03-06). Thanks though.

 

No problem. ....and whenever you see a black on black 7.5G Accord, you'll know its an 07 model not the 06.

 

well I've got Graphite on black 03 4cyl auto...

Hey, it's close enough.

I gotta get up off my lazy ass and get that rear sway...any negative sides to getting it?

 

Taking corners faster?

 

Any particular reason why you didn't go for the 20mm? I have it paired with the 6mt TL front sway and love it. I plow into corners on OEM suspension no problem.

That's why I went w/ Graphite Pearl... it was the best I could do to have black leather.

 

I didn't want to touch the front sway, so I opted for the 17mm rear sway which pairs up better with the stock AV6 6MT front sway. If I did do the front sway I'd probably go with the 20mm rear, but I'm pretty conservative when it comes to taking corners anyway so I was just looking for a little improvement over stock.

 

It should be a good improvement over our flimsy sway.

 

Can I get this at a Honda dealer?

 

Acura dealership. It's from a TL.

 

here is my car, i hope all accords are welcome,and sorry about whoring my car out so many times,lol

 

^ I really like the way the TL-S wheels look on your car.

 

Thanks SP169. I still can't believe they're that cheap.

@Lxcord: Beautiful. Lightly but tastefully modded. I'm actually thinking about doing a really similar thing with my Accord. tinted headlights, drop, and good choice on wheels?

any engine mods?

 

thanks for the comments

car has Volant intake,OBX Headers, Custom Single exhaust,grounding kit and i think that is it for engine stuff

 

You. List. Mods. Everything. Now.

 

ummm not sure if i quite follow what you are saying ?

all i have is coilovers/rims/headlamps/red/clear tails, plus the engine stuff.

 

Melikes. your front is pretty frickin low though. What are you lowered on and how is ride/handling?

 

lowered on Nex SR coilovers, rides stiff but still comfortable ride.

I want to drop it an inch more overall, then i can get an alignment, problem is finding a shop with an alignment rack that my car can clear,lol...

 

When I owned my 6G, I mulled over picking up some TL-S 17" wheels as an upgrade but never got around to it. Nice, with the drop! EDIT: And if I would have had my druthers, I would have also swapped in a K24A2/6MT had I retained ownership.

 

Nice.

 

Got my freelance check today and just bought these two:

Comptech Short Shifter



LED Tail Lights w/Smoked Reverse Lens

 

nice!

 

what is freelance ?

 

I do freelance graphic design jobs on the side. It just means you're not full-time or under contract, kinda sorta.

 

oh nice, i thought that was another term for your tax return, lol....

speaking of tax returns i got very little this year
