Hey guys, I know it's been a while since you heard from me. I'd just like to mention that my Accord project is dead. Last Monday, while driving though a 2 inch deep puddle in my apartment complex parking lot at 10mph, I hydrolocked the engine badly.

A rod was thrown and pierced the engine block, sending oil and bits of metal all over the ground.

I am replacing the engine with a swap from a friend's Accord as he performs an H23 swap, but I've decided to stop progress on my Accord. I'll probably be ripping off the aftermarket parts and returning it to stock. All of the parts have around 10,000 miles on them. If you have an interest in the following aftermarket parts, drop me an email at martaigne@martaigne.com

Pilot front strut tower brace - $50
Ground Control adjustable coilovers - $250
Tokico Illumina 5-way adjustable shocks - $400
AEM cold air intake - $100
custom straight-pipe exhaust with Tenzo R stainless steel dual-tip muffler (no catalytic converter or silencer) - $150

Any sales will be greatly appreciated as the funds will go toward a down payment on a new Lexus IS300.

 

*SNIFF* WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

any pics of the exhaust?

 

I'll see if I can dig some up... I have an old pic of the original muffler:


There are two upward-pointing tips welded onto it now, and the rest is all 2.25 inch aluminized piping. I didn't want a huge-assed 8-inch fart pipe, so I got this instead.

Here a pic of the AEM CAI installed for those interested:

 

I would like to buy the AEM CAI What condition is the filter element in?
Dented or anything let me know.
Do you have a paypal Account?

 

The filter is in good shape, just needs a cleaning.

I do have PayPal, and will accept that or money order or cashier's check. Buyer pays for shipping of their preference. If buyer ships back the stock items to replace my aftermarket items, I'll foot the cost for shipping the aftermarket part.

You guys get first dibs on parts before I throw them on eBay.

I have the guy who wants to buy them right here. Email me ASAP

I am not big on the fat can exhaust either. What kind of difference did your exhaust make? Is it louder and if yes by how much? (I don't want to sound like a weed eater riding down the road) What was the total package from the engine?

 

HEY!!
martaigne

what happened to you i cant get a hold of you about the CAI whats up?

 

It's a LOT louder. It doesn't have the same tone as those big fart cans, either.

It sounds a lot like an F1 car on crack. lol High pitched, yet sort of menacing. It makes this weird whizzing noise when the engine is spinning down, too... probably because there's no flex at all in the pipe, and nothing to break up the sound.

Sebastian, sorry, I was incredibly busy this weekend. My girlfriend's sick and I'm taking care of her.

 

Oh yeah, and with intake/exhaust, I lost some power on the low end, I have to wind the engine up to 3k to get going good, but it gives noticable grunt at the upper end... My best estimation has the hp at about 160 at the flywheel.

 

Wow, talk about some relics from the past. Hey Morgan, you still want that exhaust? LOL

 

Jesus, that was one of my first posts I think

I started reading this and was like WTF!

 

Chris, you scared me there for a second. Glad to see you decided to kep going with your project.

 

The funny part is that I bought that IS300, turbocharged it, and sold it since... but I still have the Accord.
