Very nice build! Loving the color. How much you get the shell for?

 

when you find the one you want send it to me or post it here and i'll get it onto the front page.

 

TTT

 

As long as this thread has members being active it will find it's way to the top on it own. Really no need to put it there on purpose.

So last night I ordered a few things. Got some 5mm spacers on the way for the front and some new lugs. Just in time for new paint job. Which my check should be in the mail on Monday. I still don't know how much it's going to be for.

 

I bet those lug where expensive. My turbo should arrive either monday or Tuesday. Can't wait. Also thinking of taking my wheels off for a while. Not sure yet.

 

No for a 16pc set it was $50 shipped. Add $10 for 20pc set. I was going to go with blox lugs from password jdm but after a little research these had decent feedback so I grabbed them.

 

what do ya say? i do everything myself. i bought her bone stock 96 accord lx in less than a year i have replaced the headlights, lowered her, made a comptech icebox style intake using the stock intake then threw on some 17s that i painted purple cuz they're temporary. coming soon is new 17s or 18s, rear sway bar, new intake headers and exhaust then daily it like that till i get out of school and see where it goes from there


few days after i first got her:







and now:

 

idk why the quality is so terrible....maybe photobucket?

 

nice.^^ i dont really see many accord like those fixed up around my area. Any motor work plans? what rims did you have in mind for your car?

 

nah engine is staying stock for the time being. when i get out of college i might put it in the garage and do a crazy build but as for right now i'm just doing some handling things to make her more fun to drive ya know?!

 

I guess I'll join in on the action.I like the idea of this thread.You guys should make it a crew.I bought my car as a shell.

That's what I'm trying to do. So far with 5 members. Once it gets to 10 I'm going to edit the guidelines and rules and what not.

As for your car, how did you get crx leather seats? Got them reupholsted? Like the build so far. Any idea for color and rims?

 

The crx leather seats came from one of my old rex's,as for color I might repaint it the same color.I'm diggin the stock black with the red metalic flake.As for rims I was thinking the rota zero plus or group n's or circuit 8's.I'm not gonna buy real rims until my build is almost complete.

oh yeah you can count me in for the crew

 

Hey man, sorry for the late reply. I picked my EK shell up for $2300. I'd definitely be in for the crew.

 

I will update the front page when I get home.

Spencerskate93: your #006

Brazyieef9: your #007

Let me know which pic you'd like under your name.

I also don't rock real wheels due to the fact that I live in a area filled with thevies. Now that we have a second car I'm thinking of lowering my car some more.

 

Yay #007 I'm just like james bond hahah jk,just use my last pic for now.Yeah I live in a area notorious for stolen honda's,you be seeing stripped honda's on cinder blocks.plus I live in a apartment.

 

yeah man and u should do meets too since u in the bay area they got meets in vallejo on weds and sat and meets in fairfield on thursdays ,, u should come out and make some stickers of the crew

 

All future plans. As of right now I'm just trying to get this thread known.

 

Uhmm just do the first "finished" picture, thanks! Ha, and about the wheel thing, that's definitely a good idea.

 

yo bro where u get that fabric to do the doors

 

^^Love those wheels. Makes me want to keep mine and polish them out.

2010

 

So a little update from the insurance company today. The guy who estimated the damage to my car declared it at $2,472. So the lady tells me my car is considered a total loss because they only value it at $3,000 and the damage is over 70% of that value. So now what they are telling me is I have to mail my title in and I'll receive a check for $2,900. Then they will mail my title to the Mva and I'll get it back from the Mva branded as salvage. I'll have to take my car to the state police and have it re inspected since it's now salvage to make sure it's road worthy. Also can't carry full coverage insurance on it now because it's a salvage. To say the least I'm really pissed about this. I don't mind the salvage part since I'll never sell it but having to get inspected by the police is a problem. I'd have to change a **** ton of parts over to stock. suspension,wheels,exhaust,possibly take the turbo off. Also not being able to have full coverage insurance anymore I just can't do that. So from someone keying my car it's considered totaled now. WTF!
I'm trying to work something out so that this doesn't happen. If I can get an estimate from a body shop that's less then 70% of the total value of my car then I will get a check for that amount and be able to keep a clear title. So the magic number is 2,300 or lower and I'm good. Luckily I have a friend who is the painter at the shop I planned on taking my car to have the work done. I think we will be able to get this whole thing solved and me keep a clear title. I might have to pay some out of pocket but I'm willing to do that and save on all the hassle that I'd have to go through the other way.
