[Pinchmyhandle]

Like the car so far. I'm about to put a Vigor spoiler on mine too.

wow 400g is pretty aggressive, lol.

i like your taste in ice. later.

[excalibur02]

The clear tail lights are definitely looking good. Wish I still had my set from 2004 lol. oh well.

Lots of cool stuff being added. Keep us updated.

STUFFS!!!!!



LOOK AT THE WELDS!!!! I need to learn to do that.

My Rear mount was F'ed...

And so is my engine bay, but the mounts look and feel good. I posted a review in ESP section

Going to get some extended top hats made for more shock travel. I'm not slamming the car, but I do want it to handle like the Batman ride at Six Flags

[keepinitclean]

Oh man! You're commin' out hard in the game! Lovin' every bit of it!! Keep it up!!!!!!

[SPLCB7]

Nice amps you got there. The amp rack and door pods look good. your going hard at it i see. Looking very good!

[android_proball]

Wow you are totally cool for having so many amps!
I really enjoy the back of your cb its niiccce man

[sonikaccord]

Ha that was when I was just playing around. Now it will be a serious build, with cleanliness and ease of maintenance in mind.

Thanks for the props though guys

I helped another member further his life by buying his rear top hats

They should be here later today. I have the proper sized tubing to extend them. The Koni's slide in perfectly.

The rest of my ESP stuffs will be here as well

[sonikaccord]

YES!!!!!!




But before I install these, I have to delete my abs, a/c, and maybe p/s...I actually disconnected my booster and I love the way my brakes have the potential to feel without the booster. A bit too stiff but I believe a downsized master and an adapter plate would do wonders. I could lock my tires with about 60-70 lbs of pressure on the pedal. I had tons of travel left. So what I'm thinking in my head is that if I can size my braking system correctly, I can have a fairly stiff pedal, good and controllable travel with the potential to lock up the wheels at will, a cleaner bay (blah), and I wouldn't have to worry about brake vacuum issues.

Ha! I found you here~

Updates?

[sonikaccord]

Updates:

I'm working on restoring and upgrading my suspension first so that's what I'm mainly going to be focused on.

Lowered I guess 2.25 ish inches on Koni/GC 205/45/17 8th gen Accord wheels.


How I get money for my pit, amp repairs DC 5.0k:


My traction bar is now installed I still have random clicks and clanks from the suspension that I have to tighten up.


8th gen accord VSA module that I plan on controlling electrically to give me traction control, electronic brake force distribution, stability assist. The rom I believe is rewritable so as soon as I figure this thing out, I can write control how aggressive I want the features or when they activate:



Facked front mount:


LED Tails:

And one of my more interesting projects, I'm contemplating replacing my lead-acid battery with a bank of these boys:


Less than 10 lbs of high current goodness:

12 of them sit loosely in a size group 24 battery box:


I took it to Autozone to have it load tested and the lady was like WTF is this? I said it's the future. So for the load test the initial voltage was at 13.4 V after a 550 amp pull for a few seconds my voltage was at 12.7 V...not bad. One of the caps seems to be parasitic as my voltage drops about 0.15 V every hour. It may be the one that maintains a higher charge than the rest. I'll try to heal it and see if it gets better.

I left it sitting over night and it was resting happily at 12 V. I will find out the cars quiescent current draw today and figure out a method for implementing this module. Maybe a solar charger to maintain a 14v charge. Also, these things have enough current to start a car even down to like 9v give or take some volts.
