Default pics of my car (again)

sup everyone... here's my latest addition: eye brows/lids for that sleeper look... DRAG hasn't decied to send me the rest of my turbo kit yet, so i thought i'd get some shiet on the side for now... also, after some long thought and weighing the pros and cons, i put the stock wing back on... after the turbo kit is in and everything is fine, i'll probably start focusing on the body (fixing the dents, etc., and painting the lip kit)... i used 3M tape for the corner lens but i used velcro from home depot for the headlights (just in case i need to pull out the corner lens)... the pics were darker originally so i lightened them up with photoshop... comments and suggestions welcome...











engine pic-nothing too fancy here... Cusco Type OS front strut bar... AEM short ram intake... JDM ground wire system... (not sure if it helps any...) anyway, caption should say, "insert turbo kit here..."



these pics are for greensleeper... here are some shots of the Cusco (front) lower arm bar... the 1st pic if a front view and the 2nd pic is a rear view... you can kinda see my test/straight pipe...

what's your suspension setup..? i've only scraped it twice since i encountered a huge sudden dip on the road... the bouncier your ride is, the better chance this lower arm bar will scrape...

edit: the civic next door suprised me too when i saw it... it has decals of "Type R Racing," "Norris Prayoonto," "all motor," and "Nu Image Autosports..." Nu Image is an import shop in nothern VA and Norris is the owner i guess... he's also the driver for their drag cars... i usually see their integra in magazines-i didn't know they had a civic... this civic was stripped, on steelies, and the engine is missing...

jeeeesus. dude that bar has like 2.982mm clearance. You have to have ZERO suspension travel for that lil hoe not to smack.


H&R race, Koni Yellow, ST rear sway bar, Neuspeed front upper, and Ebay rear upper bars is my setup. I scrape the crossbeam that runs parallel to the header sometimes.

Accord94DX-like i said, i've only scraped it twice so far so i guess i'm a lucky bastard for the moment... and it's the most nastiest sound... metal scraping on pavement... it's worse than the exhaust scraping... i dunno-maybe the Tein HA coilovers help... not sure... i'm on the softest setting right now actually...

Kazmans94cord-look at my 2nd reply to explain that civic in the background...

What front lip is that, I like it. Not fond of the side skirt/rear valance setup, but it's your car not mine. Eyelids, well...Whatever. Don't take offence to this, I dunno man, looks like you fixed up your moms old Accord.

Nice clean looking accord.

Thunder lips- his car is newer than yours, and what makes you think that a civic isnt a type of car that moms drive

Default Re: pics of my car (USteppin, Archidictus, ThunderLips, 1bar, & phatkato)

USteppin-thanks... this thread was in the "accord" section but they moved it...

Archidictus-hehe... i'm hoping to change the license plate to "SLEEPER" or some variation of it at some point... i dunno about "STONED" though... might get attention from cops...

ThunderLips-it's a wings west touring kit... the sides and rear are basically the same as those found on the w-type kit... no offense taken... my mom's car is the dark blue mercedes in the driveway and her friend has the turqoise-colored mercedes beside my car... i'd rather have an accord than a civic...

1bar-i believe it's the fastest all motor (integra) on the east coast...

phatkato-thanks... haha-good one... let's all share the honda love yo..!

Nice accord. You might wanna take out the plates in the picture. Who knows. Maybe a thief will read this. Just a precaution most ppl take.

is it a chance that civic was stolen and ditched? is it at someone's house? Looks like a good rolling chassis.

The accord looks damn nice too~!

George Knighton, get bashed..? the only who is going to be bashed is me for the pics of my car... no one should be bashed for posting their opinion or comment... i thought about the black rims but sometimes they look like steelies... silver looks nice when you're cruising, etc...

[626]JDM-b16a-EF9-thanks, nice name bro... can you guys guess where my screen name "accord exchange or my business name "aftermarket exchange" came from..?

cr00klyn718-thanks...

ICanSayMyAbcZ-i thought about taking out the plates with photoshop but the pic actually started to look weird or worse... thanks for the heads up though... i've had my shiet jacked before... i can't say i'll be 100% prepared for the next time but i'll be sure to put up a good fight... i'm actually going to change the plates to "5LEEPER" since i got 5Zigen rims and exhaust...

edit= you brought up a good point, ICanSayMyAbcZ... i was being lazy for a sec and didn't feel like blurring out my plates... hope it helps...

Prelussion-i think Norris Prayoonto's parents own that house and rent it out to people... but you are right though-it does look like a rolling chassis... maybe the drag civic project was ditched and they decided to concentrate on the all-motor integra...

Default Re: pics of my car (WongFeiHung & Hybrid Accord)

WongFeiHung-thanks... nice name by the way... i used to live in Hong Kong... the "Once Upon A Time in China" movie series were badass...

Hybrid Accord-yes, i sell the front and rear strut bar as well as the lower arm bar... however, i do want to make you aware that it make take up to 4-6 weeks (or less) to receive the Cusco stuff since it's a special order to Japan... i'm just giving you the maximum worst case scenario so you know what you expect... i also carry brands like 5Zigen and Tein... some people think JDM is full of hype but i think they are worth it and they're not always expensive...

mysiqu-like i said at the beginning of this thread, "DRAG hasn't decied to send me the rest of my turbo kit yet, so i thought i'd get some shiet on the side for now..." i guess by having the stock wing, stock foglights, simple rims, and a clean lip kit is my perception of the sleeper look... no wild paint job, stickers, flares, chrome dubs, massive wings, etc., to get everyone's attention...

iH8RICERZ-thanks... appreciate it... and you are right-it is hard to find stuff for this car and to make it look good and go fast...
