High5er : 1993 Accord LX

[High5er]

Updates*****

Dropped the face off for powdercoating! Gotta wait 6-10 business days though

This is the official before. So long, fresh black finish! You were ugly anyways..





But I did get my 3 inch lips in the same day! felt more like 2 inchers though. They seemed small IMO. These are the old ones.





I did a little test fit with one of the barrels just to see what I'll be working with. Didnt snap a photo though. Ill post one up later tonight.

these aren't the wheels that don't fit your car, right?

Yeah, but theyre getting redrilled as well. I found a local shop that offered a good price.

UPDATE
------------------------------

Wheels came back from powdercoating! new lips came in as well..
Now I'm just gonna polish up the lips a bit more and snag some tires!
I'm in Fresno right now for work and I found some 91 EX Alloys so I scooped them up for $40. Thats about it for now. I'll get pics up soon

Here it is after the drive to Fresno. Feels so much better with the new clutch, timing belt, and valve adjustment!


And here are the $40 come ups! now to find some caps. shouldnt be too hard..

Oh this is getting good I like this thumbs up

Soo, Ive been waiting on getting my wheels fitted. I decided to just get them redrilled becuase the offset was too aggresive with the adapters. Im getting impatient. Theyre going to get redrilled next paycheck! Also coming next paycheck: Speakers, Tires, Fender rolling, Subs.

My camber kit came in this week so I'll be throwing that on as soon as I get a sec during the week. I've also been slacking on the Accord because I've been trying to give my Bimmer some love. I should have my wheels fitted then as well!

I did, however, start to install some of the parts I picked up from Trevor..
Installed the BB6 shifter and boy was that fun. I do like the feel though. I can definitely notice the difference. I had a spare knob lying around that my boy gave me. So, I threw it on. It had some fake carbon fiber junk on it though. I personally think that shits tacky. I just threw some electrical tape over it lol.


I finally installed my damn radio! I was waiting for my girlfiends brother to send this damn thing to me for like 5 months.. Felt really damn good finally having some tunes and not looking like an idiot with my portable speaker on the dash, lol. No frame though. Looks sloppy...


My OCD kicked in when I saw that saggy, loose butthole shift boot slopping around under my knob. two minutes and about a foot of electrical tape later, I had it neatly tucked away

You could get away with rocking that hard core double stagger look and just have the rears re-drilled and use adaptors in the front.

This thing seems like it came out of nowhere. Off to an excels t start. Your paint looks like it's in great condition and your on the right path straight out of the gate. Keep up and I'm very interested in The future of this build.

Double stagger? Well theyre 16's all around. The backs are just wider. Thanks though! I'm not trying to rush the wheels because after that, I'm gonna have a hard timing figuring out what I wanna do next lol

[High5er]

So... update. Fuck stupids drivers. Please be mindful of your surroundings people. I was lucky and blessed enough to walk away from this one.











Police report and witness are already on my side. They said cars are replacable.. Ha, youre lucky I didnt have my fogs on. I wouldve been even more pissed. Insurance is taking forever. I'd love to buy another CB. I mean shit, I already have a ton of parts. Why not? Well you see, its incredibly hard to find a decent example these days. I'm just too picky. Im surprised I even found this one. We'll see though. Just gotta let this thing play its course I guess..

[XCRN]

What the fuck happened here?

[islandhopper]

Glad you're ok OP.

Get another CB! i really wanna see those wheels on it!
