Lynk : 1991 Accord EX

[Lynk]

Now that I've made my cameo appearance in California, I'll show off my new car. I bought this coupe on December 12, 2006 for $500. At the time, it was completely stock, with the exception of a factory bra; I'll try to add the original photos soon. Here's what I've done in the last month...

ENGINE:
- AEM Cold Air Intake

EXTERIOR: (Stock)

INTERIOR:
- Neuspeed short-shift adapter

SUSPENSION:
- Neuspeed/Koni Yellow Specials
- Neuspeed Race springs (2.25" Front / 2" Rear)
- Neuspeed front strut brace
- DC Sport rear strut brace
- 17" x 7.5" AMP wheels wrapped in 215/45-17 Kumho Ecsta AST

FUTURE:
- Rear disc brake conversion (ready for install)
- AEM underdrive pulley set (ready for install)
- Window tint
- Poly bushings
- Engine swap
- Addco Swaybars

Thanks, Prez. The photo of two cars was taken yesterday afternoon, in front of my house. So, your weather was very pleasant to me!

Ghost, I lucked out on the color; heck, I lucked out on the whole car. A few months ago, I started looking for a '91 5-speed EX. A couple of prospects fell through, before I ran across the coupe, at $1250. That evening, the owner updated his ad to state that the car was a "mechanic's special," since it wouldn't run, lowered to $500. I was second in line for the car, and somehow the person ahead of me dropped the offer. So, after a quick tow home, I picked up a jump pack from the house, started the car, and drove it off of the tow-dolly.

Funny... I live in the Seattle-area, and my cars are "Seattle Silver" and "Cappuccino Brown."

OneOffAccord, I want to keep my car streetable; at 2.25" drop in the front, I'm approaching the limits of street driving. If I had a trailer, and this car was dedicated to the track, then I'd probably go a little lower... but I don't, and it's not, so I won't.

Thanks for the good words, guys!

Uhm... oops. We had a quick snap of snow on Monday. My tires couldn't hold a corner, and the nose found a '99 Subaru Forester's fog light.

Back in September, a new Prius clipped the driver's front quarter and went spinning off the road. Only four months later, I wreck it, and insurance totals. Looks like it's time for a carbon fiber hood and a new title!

Insurance bought the car for $3600 minus deductible, and sold me the salvage for $180. I'm going to need a new front bulkhead, radiator, hood, grill, and bumper struts. The repairs shouldn't cost me more than $1000, highly dependent on choice of hoods.

aw man sry bout ur luck.. its been getting pretty icy lately huh.. so what are ur plans then? just use the insurance money to try to fix the front end?

[Lynk]

First piece of business was taking the sedan through emissions so that I could renew its tabs; I hadn't driven it in around six months. I'm going to check out a truck this weekend, since I need a transport vehicle for my motorcycle racing. Sometime in there I'll order the parts for the coupe and dismantle the front end.

I imagine that I'll have the coupe back on the road within the next three months. As soon as it gets a new title, provided that I've gotten a truck, the sedan gets sold.
