got a few more boxes today

neuspeed wires



WedsSport RS-5 15x6.5 +26 offset 13.2lbs per wheel

they need a good cleaning, but i think they will look neat. im trying to find some center caps but its proving to be quite difficult.

You probably want to get some NGK wires, as they are the best for quality and fitment. A lot of the aftermarket wires can leak water into the spark plug holes.

I know this is an old thread but I had the same problem with my brakelights. I have figured out a better fix that will likely never fail again. the plastic piece thats in there from honda is bd about dry rotting and it just falls apart just like the one on a 95 accord. I used a door panel clip in the place of the broken piece. it fits very tight and fixed the problem perfectly.

UPDATE:

i got my tires switched over to the weds and with the help of a friend rolled my fenders. the rears didnt get rolled much cause we found some bondo and may cut the lip with a dremel. i also switched to the apexi ws2 and straight pipe i got. the neuspeed wires didnt fit since the tube was a bit too long and i will be sending those back. i will have to get better pics soon since ive been working a ton i try to get all the wrench in i can vs good pics.

too long


old exhaust with apexi megaphone muffler






apexi ws2



test fit



when rolling fenders i threw one of my buddies xxr's on for fun. its a 15x8 +0 offset.

Looks like it's coming along pretty nicely. I actually kinda like the one piece headlights. How do you like your f&f suspenssion setup? I'm lookin to get a new setup soon and haven't decided on what to get yet. And where can I order that "Hellafunctional" decal? haha

thanks man. these headlights came with the car and i would like to swap to jdm ones in the future. i do like the amber corner though. i love my f&f i just wish i could adjust it more, but cant since i bought them used 2 of the 4 have locked rings. im satisfied with the current height and may get another set in the future. some one on 7thgenhonda.com was making hellafunctional stickers for a bit, but i found these on ebay. the others had "performance is everything" under it but i like it with just hellafunctional better.

heres the other one that i had on my mx6

i picked up a neuspeed front strut bar today from someone on craigslist. when i got home i was gonna put it on, but it doesnt look like its the right one. maybe im just not looking at right, but doesnt it mount to the struts? thats how the neuspeed one on my civic works.

I've done the sunroof conversion myself on my previous 92 lude and it was not difficult at all. The only pain in the @$$ was modifying the 5th gen brackets to fit the 4th gen top. I wouldn't recommend it though because unless you get the top tinted really dark, then you will never have shade again in your car lol.

so sunday afternoon i noticed someone pulled the old hit and run while my car was parked at my apartment. i also noticed most everyone that parks in my area has a white car. cops told me to keep an eye out for a car that may have done and give them a call. on the upside i got an accord type r lip. i did a test fit and i think it will fit once i cut 2 of the tabs off.
