Thanks to this site, I would have never realized the potential my accord could ever have. With this site's guidance, the help of some members (Thank you for answering my PM's and responding to my threads, haha), and the information and knowledge presented on this site, I was able to achieve a vision for my car far greater than I could have ever imagined. I am truly grateful for everything. With that said, I feel my car is now ready to present to my fellow members here on CB7Tuner. This is my pride and joy...
THESIS: Fuel Efficiency, Luxury Interior Conversion, VIP (Bippu) Style and AutoLuxury. Power and speed are not my priorities with this car as of yet, or if at all. My intent with this car is to create a luxurious daily driver that runs and flows smoothly with minimal issues, handles well, is easy on fuel, and looks great rolling slow, VIP Style.
