MikeW : 2001 Honda Accord V6

[Ralphie]

Im with Scott 100%.

I had Neuspeed Sports on my cb and the ride was damn near OEM.

Lost some wheel gap, and had slight improvement of handling.

Mind you I only did the sports...no other suspension work.

So if you do it right, im sure you would be very happy!

As of right now, until I hear different from our 6GA guinea pig, lol, Im gonna go with Yellows and GCs. If he says it's too harsh or too low, I'll stick with the Eibachs.

Ive given the "6G Cup Kit" idea a thought though. It's pretty much the best setup for the CB, jut not sure if the same would, essentially, apply for the 6G. I could see why it would but I could also why it wouldnt.

Not familiar with the 6g cup kit.

Please elaborate.....

[MikeW]

Cup Kit = Yellows + Neuspeeds.

Im just not aware that you can buy them as a pair for the 6G. Im pretty sure you'd have to buy them seperately.

My radio took a poop. CD player doesn't play and it won't eject my discs. One of these days, when it's not 100* outside, ill take it apart and retrieve them. In the meantime, I've got my phone.

Looking at some cheap DVD/Nav units online. Possibly a Pioneer unit I saw at wal-Mart. I've got Nav on my phone so I'm trying to justify spending the extra $300 for it in a HU.

Otherwise, not a lot going on. Between jobs so I don't have money for the car other than gas and maintenance.

[MikeW]

Got my HIDs back. Thought the harness failed but it turns out it might have been the ballasts. Got a spare set I was gonna use for my fogs that I'm using now.

A fellow 6Ger hooked me up with a free radio but it illuminated blue and the main display didn't work. Turns out faceplates are interchangeable. Go figure. So I got a working radio with my old faceplate, lol. Had to factory reset my phone so I'm living on CDs and FM radio, lol.

I keep going back and forth on a new head unit. I wanna just go cheap and get a non-Nav unit but there's that part of me that's dying for a Nav unit. We'll see.

Nothing really new as of late, aside from regular maintenance. Probably gonna rotate the tires in the next few weeks then probably gonna throw the stock wheels on sometime in late October or early November. Whenever the snow starts coming around. Once the whole money thing gets figured out I'll work on a drop.

I've contemplated trying to get a loan for 7 or 8-grand, selling the Accord and everything with it and buying a 6spd CL. I've seen one or two locally and a guy in TN has one with like 140k for under 7k. It's red but its got Magnaflows and black leather and Nav. Tempting. Outlandish and crazy, but tempting.

Getting a loan would be pointless if your between jobs man. I say just hold off on doing anything right now. I have to hold off on a lot. Its igging me too. Suspension needs to be done. Need two new tires. That's gonna cost $175. My sister said she was gonna by them but now its its not even for certain because shes waiting on her money...

Ugh. I hate it. Lol. I'm gonna ATTEMPT to do my tint again this weekend. Last time I wasted a roll. Fack. Keep you CG man. Isn't it paid off?

What's up Mike!?
Never really looked through the other rides. Gotta say I love your 6th gen coupe V6, they are one of my faves!

[MikeW]

Thanks. Mine, too. If only they didn't have tranny issues. I'd like to one day have one with a j32 + 6spd.

[AAPOQ]

What's your tranny doing? tork converter probs?

[MikeW]

Nothing yet but they were notorious for going out. Clutch packs were usually the issue.

[AAPOQ]

There were a few of times over the last couple of years where I looked at the 6th gen v6ers. I wanted one so bad.. But after some reading found out about tranny issues and I didn't want to fukks with that.

Though I still love them!

[MikeW]

As with my CB, I didn't do my research beforehand. I wasn't aware of the tranny issues. Doesn't change how I feel. It's easier to swap a J32 + 6spd into this than into a CB.

[HappyGilmore]

I may be silent on here since school has me tied up and all, but Mike I like where you are going with your 6G. And i see you are working to get a drop in place (bout damn time lol). Keep up the good work. I need to pay ya a visit sometime!

[MikeW]

Yes Happy, yes you do, lol.

Nothing new as of recent. Just Winter Mode.
