Okay picture time. Enjoy.

My tow hook ornament: yellow Angry Bird ftw! (this is while my car is on dollys, it sits about 1/2" off the ground when my car is at normal height lol)


More or less an inside joke:


Hood holding itself again:


Pretty cool picture my friend took:


Even cooler picture my friend took:


And the Del Sol seats, with my domo all buckled in the back


I don't have a picture of it but I did put a pedobear sticker with him peeking from the side of my rear license plate, it is awesome. And if you didn't notice (hard to see) the other sticker in the center bottom of my hood says Seen It!

 

Don't see Seen It! But I do see HouseOfGrafix and HCF.com under the hood That's all I'd need under the hood of my Civic (when I had it) Well...maybe a PassportJDM sticker too lol Looks good bro

 

Haven't posted on here lately. Found out my tranny is still leaking from the same spot, so I am going to try and locate a new oem axle and try that and see if it fixes the problem since it is an aftermarket axle in there right now.

Got some big plans for the car happening in the next week and a half. I am taking my car to a car show next Sunday so I want everything ready by then, which I will be cutting it close! Here's the plan:

-I bought brand new oem mud flaps off my friend

-He also sold me oem floor mats that say "coupe" on the drivers side

-Bumpers, skirts, lips, 99-00 spoiler will all be painted next Saturday. My friends dad is going to do it for me for a case of beer, just need to have supplies and everything prepped, he used to do body work. Hopefully paint matches up since it'll sva me the like $500 it would've cost for professional paint.

-Going to order battery relocation stuff and get that turd moved

-Power steering pump will be pulled and rack looped

-I got new wheels (FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY) I have black Blox lug nuts too now.

Here's a couple pics, did a photo shoot with some of my friends. The Accord is a work in progress, jdm itr's and being slammed in a few weeks.






My friend's jdm ITR wheels, these things are so clean it is insane. These are for his Accord.

The guy we got them from gave us some 4x100 to 4x114 adapters so I threw his wheels on my car to see how they'd look. And they look fricken sweet.


And my new wheels. Going to work tonight to put tires on the rear (past the wires). The tires are 195/55 all around, ina few weeks I will buying some new 195/45 most likely


And a few pics my friend took (he is going to school for photography) with his $800 camera.

Yes I realize these all aren't fancy cars, but why not, all my close friends cars. My friend's Dakota is really nice though, done a lot of work to it and it even has its own little wire tuck.

Rolling pic of my car

 

Sweet! Mmmm those purple wheels will be sexy on your car man...I talked my buddy from the dorms into painting his hubcaps on his silver 2003 Honda Accord sedan purple and he said he did it but I have yet to see pics yet though; the bastard lol

It'll be cool to see your wheels on dude.

 

Went to work on my off day and swapped out the 2 tires and balanced the wheels. 2 have a minor bend on the inner lip, can't even see it just looking at the wheels but could on the balancer, oh well no biggy. Also threw on the mud flaps, but 1 wheel is mudflapless. My friend gave me a Teggy front drivers instead of a Civic on accident, so that will need to be done. The fronts are about 1/2" off the ground lol. The wheels look really good, I like them a lot. I need to add more negative camber up front, rubbing in turns. Once I have front camber figured out I will do an alignment at work, probably Monday or Tuesday. Just need to figure out how much negative I am going to run and then even them out at work. I am going to get new tires in a few weeks, going to go with 195/50's, I want a smaller tire for moar slammage! I also started polishing my rear tow hook. And the floor mats I got look SAWEEEEEET! I'll get pics tomorrow, they look so damn cool and fit perfectly! My friend also gave me the cup holders from his old ek, big whoop right? WRONG! The lid actually stays closed! (anyone who owns an ek will know what I am talking about lol) The lid just sits kind of angled so I am going to figure out why and throw that in!

Also here's my price break down:

Rota GT3's- $250
Worth- $300-350 with the tires that are on them
Was going to sell my sisters wheels for her and would've gotten 150, so I gave her 150 for them. Traded them and $100 for the Rotas.

Mud flaps, rears are brand new oem still in bags -$20
Worth- $50+

OEM floor mats- $20
Worth- $40

Cup holders- free
Worth (actually closes, just lid isn't perfectly straight) $20+

So overall today was a good day, made some good investments

 

Flippin awesome dude those wheels look good man...I'll be drooling even more once everything gets painted lol

I miss my hatch lol

 

Looks great man!
did you have to jack up your car before you could get it on the lift? lol
i hate doing that haha

 

Thanks I really love having wheels, can't believe I stayed on steelies so long. And my car actually just fit on that rack. It is the lowest one at the shop with the pads set all the way down I just had to have someone lift the car for it to catch the pinches. Give me like a month, this thing will be lower than before lol. 195/50s with more drop... the mud flaps will no longer be 1/4" off the ground, all time scraping ftw!

More work got done, sorry no pictures lol.

I was having serious rubbing issues on front drivers side so I cambered it in more (was less than the passengers). I can now take turns at any speed I want, and let me tell you, going from 185 winter tires to 195 camber worn street tires is such a huge difference, the handling is awesome. My car handled insanely good before, so much better now!

Also on my way to work this morning the cel came on, pulled the code at work, evap leakage. Cleared the code and checked over the hoses going to my charcoal canister (mines in the bumper for extreme tuckage), sure ****, one the line coming off the evap purge solenoid to the canister was halfway worn through? The culprit? The damn wheels haha, I have tire rub marks on the inside of the subframe and the wheel must have caught the hose (fuel line) and chewed through it partway. Couldn't see any holes, but I sopaed it up and plugged one end and put some psi in it and it blew some bubbles. Went and bought some more fuel line and redid the line and now that problem should be fixed.

I also tucked the remaining wires on the driver side. I had 2 sets of wires left: brake fluid level monitor and wiper motor wires. I just disconnected the brake level indicator completely. Figured out if you leave the wires apart it won't turn on your brake light, but when connected (when the float drops) it closes the circuit and flips on the light. So anyone tucking them just unplug them at the cap and stuff the wires back in the cabin unconnected. I popped off my cowl and ran the wiper motor wires through the side and out of view. That side is now completely tucked, I just need to order a new plug for that spot since I lost the one I had.

Tomorrow I am probably going to roll my fenders, good ol' rubber mallet way. My rear tires have way too much unnecessary camber because of the damn lip, so I need to fix that. I am also considering buying some like 10mm spacers to push my wheels out some more.

 

Also just ordered some header wrap to wrap the spot where my exhaust rattles against the body of the car, hopefully it'll stop the vibration. $10 for a 2"x20' roll so why not.

 

Another update, no pictures again (sorry). Put in the cup holders yesterday, so wierd seeing it close! I also pulled the power steering pump finally! Looped the lines... it seems like it turns so much easier now. I am going to finaly finish my carbon fiber door panel insert for the passenger side this weekend, as well as polish my rear tow hook.

No longer am I painting the bumpers and stuff next weekend. Talked with my friend's dad today and he thinks we should wait and really take our time with it, rather than rush the prep and spray it and put em on the next day. So w are going to probably do it in a few weeks and watch the weather to do it on the best day, hhis only concern is the paint cracking on the plastic bumpers, but he thinks using the flex agent should be fine.

But I'd rather have it done right and come out good rather than do it real quick and have it chip off in a month. I also need oto get my fenders rolled, way too much damn camber in the rear.
