You've never heard of resizing images? Here's a tip, set the camera's JPG quality setting to the lowest one possible, you're sure not getting anywhere near enough resolving power from the current setting to justify 3 MB image files.

Also, I can see why that car was selling for only $2,000.

i think it will look alot better with a nice wash/wax... and i need to put some screws in the front bumper so it wont "flare out" like it does...someone scraped it hard and broke the screws loose...


the car is fast though, has an H22a4 swap, headers, full exhaust, vtec controller, cams, underdrive pulleys, CAI...

it's faster than my 6g coupe with the same swap, intake and exhaust..no headers


With the swap and mods it deserves better than that. Cleaned up, detailed in and out, no external rice, it could be decently nice. Enjoy it.

that is the plan, i hate rice...

HAHAHAH omg the "Fear This" sticker is awesome. You should keep that on, I heard that stickers add at least 5 horsepower.

Step 1 - Find a car that will make me look like a bigger douchebag than people already think I am.
Step 2 -
Step 3 - Profit!

Oh dear.

Lose the seat covers, fart can, red dash pieces and floor mats, fog lights, scraped up body kit, ebay coilover kit, and for god's sake, the stickers. Re-align the front end. Fix any dangly wires and git-er-dun duct tape & zip tie repairs (I have a feeling there's a lot of those). Re-do (or remove) purpling window tint. Slap on a fresh coat of paint. After these things are done, you'll probably have a decent car on your hands.

I actually like the gauges - they look clean, IMO. That's about it though.

Why'd you buy it then? Couldn't you find any used Accords that weren't all hacked up?

not with a working h22a swap, cams, full exhaust, a really nice dvd/cd deck and a screen, i spent the rest of the day de ricing it... all stickers gone, completely debadged, fixed the grill, fixed the "flared out" front bumputer (was missing screws)

it now looks nice and clean...i'll post pics tommorow.
