    sin2k5 : 1993 Accord Ex

    Ok... I've been with CB7tuner for about 5 years now, but have been more of a lurker. Lots of pics... but never posted. Met some great people here. Finally getting my MR started:









    I bought this car from the original owner and I was lucky that I started with a fresh, clean car -- everything still in tact and well maintained with all the service history.

    Stubby antenna conversion
    45% tint all around

    Photo Log 2006!!!













    One of my first major purchases: JDM One piece headlights and recently discovered 94 CD5 front lip fitments











    This was my first major overhaul, rebuilt/machined cylinder head and head gasket job. All done right in front of my house... You do what you have to do

















    Out with the old:

    New head installed, valve clearances checked and oh so cleaNN



    Throwout bearing began to whine so it was time to pull the tranny. It was an excuse to get a Fidanza lightweight flywheel. Also upgraded to a garage that later transformed into a shop before I knew it









    Wasn't sure where I wanted to add the 5.5HP Fidanza sticker ??





    We had the paint mixed. We had the tranny out. Hmmm...why not??? JetBlack paint:





    Ready for primer:









    My buddy with the steady hand doing the spraying:













    Cured paint job. So pretty and shiny

      Radiator was overdue:





      Thanks to the help from some local CB buddies at the shop, an alignment was done:



      Got reallllyy lucky and found these leather door panels at the junk yard (more interior pics to come!):







      The most comfortable leather seats







      Visual inspection of my suspension revealed nothing until the top hat was removed! No wonder the front had slight alignment issues... Another excuse to upgrade





      TEIN Basic coilovers -- The best suspension I've ridden! Low, completely stock ride (my DD), 1.5 inch drop, handles pot holes great, and still clears speed bumps straight on!!



      11.1" Rotor over hub, big brake conversion, ball joints, TEIN!





      Honda center caps make a huge difference!



      Re-alignment after coming out of winter SUV mode!



      A helping hand from TypeMO™ - No more pin stripes



      DEPO red/clears
