Default Octaneaccord02 EG post up

When I first got it.
Threw on some rotas that was in the garage.
Picture is after I put the side markers on and wheels. Then I realized I put the side markers too high.

A week later got some corners, fogs, and wiring harness. I was confused at first because my side markers had three wires and usually stanley eg sidemarkers have 2.







I re-did my interior.. :D

SEM interior paint is awesome! Stuff interior cleaner is too!
Wilians harness, I have a rash burn on my neck from it everyday.


Power window and lock panels now, manual.





I think I need a new helmet.

I have other accessories soon to be installed(pedals, steering wheel, hub, quick release, shiftknob, carpet, floormats, and whatever else robbed my bank account). Just posted to see your opinions.

I figure since my bumper was messed up i'll put ek fogs since I ordered another bumper from honda.





















Had to floss the kevlar wing.

I like the foglights because they are a lot brighter then the eg ones I got from passwordjdm.

________updated_______







I did nothing to the back side.



I used lil'self taping screws to hold it in.





Your best bet to hide the screw is to pre-drill a hole as big as the head of it. When screwed down. It will be somewhat hidden. Im going grind the heads off later today when it's not so hott outside.

People ask for car pics..



Close up of my seibon kevlar hood. Pretty awesome in person.



I'm going grind off the screw heads later and i will post it.


I adjusted the fogs finally. I put them upside down. Left fog and housing to the driver side. Right fog and housing to passenger side. They work a lot better then before shooting in the air. Now they are same as the headlights but its hitting my re-bar. I also painted the covers black, they look way better!

Probably JDM show.

When I bought the car it was kind of stock except, eibach pro-kit springs, tokico blues, nissan seR wheels, apexi n1 exhuast, 98+ b18b, and 4th gen. prelude seats. Other than that some dings, macco crappy paint job, and some rust from sitting around for over a year outside.

Problems:
1. The front end has been an accident, so apparently the insurance fixed it as is on the frame machine.
Needs new fenders, front bumper and radiator support etc.

2. The LS motor was beat to hell, needs new piston rings and head gasket.

3. It's an old car so I had to replace or need to replace pieces here and there.

4. The dings need to be pushed out as much possible( you can see the lil' dings in pictures by the waves).

5. Currently my focus has been the exterior but now apparently I just need paint and body work.

6. I'm on the target of parts research for the b18 toward a turbo setup since the internals currently are kind of shot.

This is my daily so I want it to be reliable as well look good to the eye.

I decided to try rolling my fenders seen in superstreet and articles in the past from early 90s people using a baseball bat. I use to rub hard when I turn the wheel. Sounds almost like a CV joint or clutch griding but it's really just the tire threads hitting the fender.

If you have the inner splash guards, say good by to sooner or later. Rolling of fenders you will need to remove them.

I decided to use my jack extended arm. Some may heard using a baseball bat. Well I also did't feel like raising my car up. This worked better because at my ride height, It gave an ideal of the right gap for clearance.

My stance.

I just shoved it right because it starts gripping where it falls between the fender and tire. So start rolling.

Rolled if half way then met the mounting points for the inner liner, so I just pry between them and push it toward the fender.

It now once done, it flared the fender slightly. No more rubbing!

If you have good paint please get a second person to hold a heat dryer. Not your hair blow dryer. It cost about $30.00 at places like harbor freight.

Picked up some old school 16" Volk gtp, i'm going fully polish it. I blew the LS motor and now currently rebuild to stock everything for daily! Going redo the whole exterior to true JDM with appeal of show.

Also going pick up another LS block and vtec head for boost when I have funds.
