Nice car, its great to see someone giving the old accord some love. I can't wait to see how well you do.

They are so easy to find parts for. Why did you choose a 2 door? I thought that 4 door are 100lbs lighter.

Nice!

I saw a thread where they stripped a CB7 to bare metal on the inside and it ran a mid 14s.

We went with the 2 door because it was available. We wanted a 5 speed and this was a good runner with some cosmetic problems, near by when we were buying so we went with it. We would have done a 4 door had it presented itself.

2012 schedule is out. Plan on doing Road America in April, Iowa Speedway in May. We are debating about our 3rd race, few of us want Daytona, others would like something a little closer. We Plan to do 3 races for sure, and our leaving ourselves open to a possible 4th, if we get an invite to the regional chumpionship or want to do road america again.

Any insight to how the front springs fit on the rear and how both F/R were secured once cut? I've seen a mix of safety wire through the coils and spring perch and some just rolling the dice without anything to keep them in place.

I'd love to hear more about the vtec swap in regards to AIV if you can let out any secrets.

Good looking crapcan you got there!

Love the car. Your extended strut mounts were an inspiration for me a while back on cb7tuner. Improves the ride drastically and actually holds short springs in an OEM length strut quite well. Thanks
