UKDM Carbon Grey CL9 Accord Type S - finally on coils!

[Jdm Oz]

Finally after months of stockpiling parts and wheels i've got my car back with everythin fitted.

Took a month longer than it could've been as i was rear ended in february and had to wait for insurance to sort me out with a new rear bumper and lip. Got it back wednesday night, had a slightly rough ride home as it still needs an alignment. Needs some camber dialled in front and rear to clear the arches.

Spec wise i went with BC Racing coilovers, skunk2 front camber arms, j's racing rca's and ingalls rear camber and toe arm kit. Got a progress anti roll bar on order along with some new rear droplinks. Also replaced front track rod ends too. Front drop links were done for the yearly inspection in january so they're new enough.

I'm happy with the setup, but cant push it yet till its aligned coz it scrubs too much. Also de-chromed some of the exterior to make it look more like a euro r, more street, less chromey pish bling, lol!

Its hard to get a good pic of the wheels coz the colour changes in the light. Raised the rear 5mm to hopefully stop scrubbage, front doesnt scrub as much, probably coz there's not much liner left to melt.

Feels good to get back into modding again, manifold and exhaust next after a bbk i think, lol!

For the wheel ****** out there these evo8 wheels are a conservative 17" x 8" ET 38mm, a nice even fit, nothing too crazy.

Looks great! I like the fitment on those wheels.

Cheers, marcus isn't it...?

Here's a few dslr shots from sunday passed.







more pics in my sig below.

Rear wheels are sitting funny at the moment, but im going for an alignment tomorrow, might go lower too all round once i camber out the scrubbing.

[0MrHeeltoe]

IMO you could use a tad more front camber.

[Jdm Oz]

yeah its scrubbing like hell, waited almost a week to get this aligned now. The guy im using is normally fully booked for a day or two. But this time he was fully booked for nearly a week. I'm goin tomorrow anyway to get it fully aligned, definately some front camber, and lower the passenger side front the same as driver side front. Also need to sort the toe out on the rear wheel, lol!

[EM1's FTW]

ummm sexxii lol
nice car man

[Jdm Oz]

thanks man.

Had it aligned yesterday and it feels so much better to drive. It will take a few days to find a damping level which is comfortable yet still works when pushed hard. I'm happy with the progress of the car so far.

Next up a progress rear sway and a bbk hopefully.

I also bought ENKEI evo8 with Toyo RX888 235/45 R17. But front wheels are out of vehicle area.
So I wonder what tire you are using?

mine looks like this:

Sorry for the late reply, don't get on here much these days. I'm running the standard size for UK accords on 17's in the UK which is 225/45/17. I also have -1.5 degrees of negative camber up front using the skunk2 camber arms and -2.5 of negative camber in the rear set using the installs kit just to clear the arches with minimal rubbing. I didn't want to do any arch work just for alloys and I'm comfortable with the way it sits now.

I also run on 225/45 R17 and now my problem is fixed! Toyo R888 will remain in garage for track days.

cool buddy

[AT933]

Here is picture of my ride! don't see much of Enkei's but still I like it

[Jdm Oz]

[Jdm Oz]

Couple pics from last week in edinburgh.





Check that inch perfect parking B) Shame it didnt stop me kerbing the rear wheel the day before!



No joke i nearly cried!

[2jzboy]

good color combo

[94rs-turbo]

awesome pics love the color, would have gotten that same but interior would have been light grey and I had to have black

[Jdm Oz]

lol cheers

[fatboyslim500]

Loving this buddy... Im across in Belfast and have bought a silver type-s.
I've found a set of evo enkeis and im very tempted. Is that standard fitment or have you got them spaced out?

[Jdm Oz]

thats standard fitment buddy, im not fond of spacers anyway so these were the perfect fitment for me, lol

[GhOSt_Db8]

very cleann..

BTW I suggest your to change Nuts to original Mitsubishi EVO nuts. With Honda nuts you will damage you ENKEI's as those wheels are meant to be bolted with cylindrical nuts not cone as Honda has. and center adapters put metallic not plastic. After one track day plastic centers are smashed. Afterwards when you go over 120-140km/h it starts shaking vehicle.

I personally did change of nuts and wheel center adapters.
