Mmmmmmm stainless steel!



3 step, tuned length, 4 -1 SS headers coming soon!

Lost Again

It is like Christmas again

Glad to see the project moving again - don't take that the wrong way as I have my own...the Chevelle is still sitting there looking at me every day

GhostAccord

Christmas indeed. The parts keep coming in, I still have a few more pieces and parts to buy, then I ship the engine off to the machine shop.

Things are looking up. Now if only I could physically get into the garage to work on the car! My "working" garage has become a storage shed! Time for a big cleanup.

GhostAccord

Finally....... the rest of my exhaust showed up from KTeller today! :p

Blog Update!



3" stainless pipe, Magnaflow resonator and all the hangers. It is a really nice kit they put together. Well worth the wait!

Now, I have a week off before I go back to work. Wonder if I can squeeze some Accord love in there somewhere.......

Let me be the one to bump this thread, we all want more!

GhostAccord

�� thanks for the bump! Nice to see you're still around, how are things?

Build is on hold due to lack of room in my garage......lol Hope to get back at it again this winter after a garage purge.

GhostAccord

I can't believe that it has been 8 years since I pulled this car into my garage. The Accord is still sitting under a car cover in the garage. Right now it is buried in winter clothes, empty boxes and patio furniture cushions. Surrounded by a lawn tractor, 2 spare engines, a transmission and another "work in progress" Motorcycle....... :shakeshead:

Today I received 4 boxes via courier that kind of made me think about cleaning out the garage and getting back to work on ol'Ghost.


and in those boxes were these!


Plan is to get all of the body and suspension work done before I send the engine out for work. That way I know that all of my attention will be on the car before the engine!

I have 8 weeks before I go back to work. Hopefully that is enough time to get some stuff done. it's going to take me an entire weekend just to get the garage cleaned out......

Makes me think I need to get the Chevelle cleared off and out of the garage and take it for a spin . I know it has not moved in at least a year

I have a 10-year-old project I am "working on". I was going to get if finished by the end of last summer, they by fall, then by Christmas. Last night started on it again. I know that feeling.

doc500

Amen to that. My project has been ongoing since 2010. Can't wait to get back in there, and get her done.

And here I think it's taken me too long to do my Jeep's engine swap...about 6 months so far

GhostAccord

All good things come to those who wait. Patience is a virtue!

Unfortunately just found out that my daily requires $2k in parts to pass inspection this year. So as far as the Accord goes, patience I must have!

If it was an unreliable car I would just ditch it. However, this is the first big money maintenance it has required in the 11 years we have owned it. The usual, brakes, suspension and exhaust! Needless to say for $2k I am upgrading it all! Corvette front brakes, Camaro rear, H&R drop springs and adjustable struts. Shorty headers and a full 2.5" mandrel exhaust with Flowmaster muffler.

Oh well....them's the breaks!

Doing my typical yearly drop in, and saying hi. Hope everything is going well Mark!

I'm still here too! ��

Can't wait to see this beast complete! Finally got my Accord back on the road after the auto to 5 speed swap and back to auto!

GhostAccord

Things are going good here, hope the same for you as well.

I am going to try for forward progress this winter. Unfortunately, I am going to be putting most of my time and spare cash into getting the Grand Am painted over the winter in the hopes of putting it up for sale in the spring. then I can put that money toward finishing off the Accord.

In other news, I finally got back into a Honda today! My, new to me, Winter Beater & the project Grand Am....

kd97accord

GhostAccord

What brand is that? Most of the ones I see for sale are fiberglass.

GhostAccord

It is a Xenon body kit. 4pc kit #10280 for the 96-97 4dr Accord. I didn't take any pics of the side skirts. They are poly as well. Not so sure if I like that on the sides or not, we'll have to wait and see.

NZXTInerTia

Doing my yearly or so check in. Nice to see you haven't completely disappeared.

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year Mark!

GhostAccord

Yes sir, Love the yearly drop in's.

Cheers to you and yours during this holiday season and hope for a safe and happy new year!

Been spending most of my time getting set up to do a 5spd swap and boost my Grand Am. As well, I just finished street tuning my Ridgeline after having a set of stage 2 Bisi cams installed. Man I love this truck even more now.

GhostAccord

Picked up a Non SRS 3 spoke for $80 and installed it today. No need to spend $400 on a Momo. I'll probably pick up a charcoal wheelskin cover with red thread.

I am currently in the hunt for a cable reel/Clock spring that fits the CD w/no SRS or Cruise.

Will the Ghost Accord ever be finished?

I'm still working on my project Del Sol; almost as long as you. I really appreciate all your published info on your site & many others....

GhostAccord

It will get finished, some day. Life got in the way, I ended up spending a bunch of money on my house and modifying my Ridgeline....
