Hey All
I use to be on here as some will remeber. Thort I'll come back with my ride that I was traded for my cordias, which I do miss but didnt have the cash and this was a better option. So since then Ive now got a good stable job and have got a 2 year old son. hope you enjoy my car even tho its not a cordia
Well after owning a 3 gen for over 2 years now, Im about to do a big over hall of it.
When I got it. it was almost stock, had a CD player and speakers. First weekend of having it i put a pod filter on and took the mud gards off. I notis that it blow some smoke and new the pistion rings were going. After about 3 months of having the car the motor died on me. something in the bottom end went and there was a loud knocking sound.
I looked in the paper and find a 3 gen wreak, the owner had spun and hit a tree. motor and running still in good nic.
So I took it down to my panel beaters too work on, changed over the motor and auto. put new CV's in and changed the oil
Old motor out
New one in
When it was down there it got broken into, stole the CD player and speakers. The damage on the car was a smashed window, ****ed door handle, dents in both qurter panels and slashed all my tyres. So the wreak at this point came in very handy spear wheels and side window.
After a couple of months after that i got a new CD player and speakers and about week later I put mags on it. Also my wreak was black so i put the bonnet and eye lips covers on
At this point now i was loving the car. keeps it the same for some many months after this. But the S1 tail lights had to change. I tined the hole lot exceped the revers lights and soon after put the black boot on just to see what it looks like and i didnt mind it so left it like it. Also put a canon on as well
next on my too do list was the CD5 honda accord lip kit. Ive put on the sides but still have got to the front and rear to do.
Ive desided to do a S2 convertion. $600 from a wreakers for every think i need so it was a still. some go for upto $1000
Now my planes are for my car over the next couple of months is to do the S2 convertion with the CD5 lip kit put on, resprayed in midnight purple. put in a manual (already have all the parts from another wreak) put in JDM front and back sets, upgrade the front breaks to 4 gen VTIR with slotted rotors and mayb new mags. thinking that white will go good with the purple
So hope it all goes well and cant wait for the feed back on my progress
