So is anyone here going to the biggest Accord meet down in Miami 2 weeks from now?

There's going to be a mag photog and trophies/plaques.

 

I've got to get some pictures up of my Accord. I forget we had this thread, can't wait to be a part of it

 

So yea, what turned out to be a promising day ends up being a dealer horror story. Now I'm pissed

 

Dang, sorry it didn't work out, gr8ness. Details? Would've been a great car...

 

Ill make a thread about it when I get home in 3 hours.

 

Damn dude, sorry to hear

 

Damn that sucks man. Had to travel a ways away to get it, something tells me bait and switch?

 

The details to my trip can be found here:

Sorry to hear gr8ness, in hindsight you didn't purchase the car and eventually you'll find another 6MT Sedan in much better condition.

Keep searching, they're wonderful cars.

 

Doesn't have to a sedan. I'm looking at a coupe now.

I changed out my 2 front Innovative mounts today with stronger bushings .. I took out my 65a bushings and theyre were completely lopsided and smashed.

You wouldn't think it would be hard to put 75a bushings into a motor mount, but they appear to be pressed and assembled in factories with machines .. there is literally no budge on these tough new bushings and you have to take drastic measures in order to press them .. by hand .

I first had to boil some water, throw in these mounts (to make them somewhat pliable), then I had to put a bolt / nut through each mount and tighten them together while wedging a large screw driver to wedge the mount in. What a day! Car drives awesome and I feel it could be ready for the track soon , just need a new clutch now . Exedy 2 anyone?

Look how well this clutch puts down power .. this is with the checkvalve removal too:

How was everybody's Thanksgiving?

 

And for those interested to see how my 65a bushings held up for 1 year of medium / hard driving:

 

I'm no pro at this kind of stuff (yet), but those look absolutely whooped.

 

So the Accord is due for tires. I have a couple of options that I'm debating between right now. Just wanted to see if anyone on here as had any experience with these tires.

Continental Extreme Contact DW or DWS - great reviews on the Accord forum

Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport - I had RE050 on my G35 coupe and they worked great.

Yokohama Avid Envigor - some reviews on came back saying they were hard to balance.

If anyone as any other suggestions, please let me know. I live in Houston so don't need to really be concerned with snow. The tire size I need is 235/45 18

Thanks

 

I have the Continental DWSs on my MS6. I've only had them for a little over 500 miles so it's a bit premature to give a full review, but so far they're awesome tires and I haven't experienced the soft sidewall that some reviewers have complained about. That's typically the only negative that I've read about the tires, overall they get incredible reviews, that's why I got them. If you're in Houston where it hardly ever snows, I'd opt for the DWs instead of the DWSs. I got the DWSs because we're about to move to Nashville where it snows a few times a year.

Before the Contis I had the stock Bridgestone Potenzas and although I inherited them at the end of their life they didn't get very many miles on them before showing major wear. In fact when I had the Contis mounted on the new wheels I noticed huge cracks in the outter tread on the Bridgestones. But again, having got them at the end of their life it's not a totally fair review.

Otherwise I had two sets of Falkens on my 6mt coupe. I had 215/50-17s 920s on the stock wheels and they were awesome tires. I believe they are all seasons so you might not want that, but they were quiet and the tread held up great. I also had 245/40-18 452s and although they started off quiet after about 1,000 miles they were already starting to get noisier. They're summer tires though and they gripped like mothers, but I didn't like how loud there were already getting.

 

Thanks for the info! It looks like I'll be going with Conti DW as of now. I know a lot of G35 owners switching out their Potenza due to uneven wear but I never experienced that issue.

Good luck with your move to Nashville. We used to live in Atlanta and have driven to Nashville once or twice. Nice scenic roads up there!

 

Contis FTW

 

I have the DWS on my Subaru. I purchased them for the long tire life and I broke them in on my summer trip to the Arctic Circle. I have about 20k on the set now.

I liked them alot. They were much better than the Bridgestones that were on the car. The soft sidewall is a little annoying, but a few extra PSI helps even them out. The price was attractive through, and they grip excellent in the rain and dirt.

With that said, I think I will try the DWs next.

 

there was a service bulletin for 03-04 accords because alot of them have this issue. they used to be serviced free at the dealer for some models but it was at dealer discretion. the piece is not sold separately so you would have to go to a honda dealer to get it fixed if you wanted to.

if you wanted to replace the radio with an aftermarket unit, you can order a kit from metra to replace your whole radio face with a new one.

 

miss my old accord

when i first got her

after a drop and oem wheels

after a nicer drop, diff wheels, body work, and some jdm goodies

and last, after yet another set of wheels, drop, all its jdm mods, and working motor





and here it is after the partout and being stripped

 

its middle stage was its hayday.

 

So im supposed to be going look at the Greddy Evo 2 exhaust for the coupe this weekend..

should be a fairly cheap deal as the guy needs a stock exhaust and suspension.

he's parting out and bring it back to stock, maybe we can help one another out and i can get a nice sounding exhaust out of it.

 

 

after selling my 06 TL





to this


i decide to fix up my 06 accord again lol

before pics lol




and nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

 

^ Wow that rear wheel poke looks completely out of place on the Accord. Not sure what you were thinking on that.

 

agree, needs to have some camber at least, or just keeping it stock. Should have kept the TL tho

 

Accord owner, joined this forum for search of TL-S wheels.

paulonfiya, mind if I ask why you sold your TL? Looks so sick.
Are those black spots chips on the front end of the accord?

 

A bit too much poke in the rear for me, but it looks great otherwise. Where'd you get those fogs?

I'd get that front end looked at as well.

 

Plan on tinting the Accord next few weeks. Does tint look darker on a white car or black car? I've had 15% on the black TL and want to know if I need to go lighter or darker tint for the Accord.

Edit: Never had a white car before, always had black or darker colors.

 

What color interior?

 

i sold my TL because my mdx pump gas 70$ every 4days and its either my TL or my C5 corvette and plus TL giving my hard time already 3 tranny rebuilt already under 90k.. so good by TL...yes thats a rock chips lol

 

i need to drop it more and install my camber kit n roll my fenders... trust me when im done u be danmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

thanks, i got it back in 2006 when i went back home to my country philippines at honda dealer ship...

 

Tan interior. That'll make any tint look lighter so I think I might as well do a 10 or 15%.

Eventually I'll tint the windshield. Loved it on my TL! Had 15 all around and 35 on windshield, never pulled over

 

Yea, the tint will look lighter. Not sure about the exterior color effecting the tint, all Ive had were dark cars

 

Well guys, I finally found one:
