[GhostAccord]

by GhostAccord

ENGINE, 2.4L F22B2/A6 w/Individual Throttle Body Induction

EXTERIOR, In process - Highly Modified - Images and specs to follow

INTERIOR, In process - Fiberglass w/Race Trim - Images and specs to follow

SUSPENSION/WHEELS - Race Modified - Images and specs to follow

AUDIO/ELECTRONICS - 1996 JVC cassette deck with a couple beat up 6x9's..... anything that won't be loud enough to hear over the sound of my engine!

FUTURE PLANS - Lots, stay tuned and you can see for yourself!

Well I broke down and finally decided to add a members ride thread to CB7Tuner for my aptly named "GhostAccord" Build. I will most likely post up the initial information about the build and then post small link/posts when I do my blog updates. Hope that's OK????

I will skip the beginning, as I started with a set of 01 GSX-R1300/1000 throttles that ended up being way to small for my engines specs. 46mm throttles are a bit small for a 2.4L engine. So I decided to use a set of Ducati 999r (shower top) throttles. I had to buy 2 sets as the Ducati is a twin..... 54mm at the throttle plate will be perfect for my build.

Exhaust





Cooling System


Yonaka 2" Core 1/2 Rad w/Maradyne 13" Slim Fan

Decided to make up an aluminum bracket for mounting the slim fan...zip ties aren't as cool as people think!




Fan itself never touches the rad and it is mounted using rubber isolation bushings




Remote H22 Thermostat

This will be mounted somewhere on the frame rail.

Drilled and tapped for AN fittings




Next step is welding 20 AN bungs onto the inlet and outlet. I will be welding all of my aluminum components at the same time...


Suspension & Steering

Fresh paint and busings






Swaybars and brakes

Even though you are going to do most of the detailed updating in your blog, I hope you populate your summary posts here with pictures

[GhostAccord]

Oh there are lots of pictures to come. The two reserved posts are for images.... �� I have to take some time to go through them all first....

[sonikaccord]

In for pics...don't make us wait.

[GhostAccord]

Updated with a few pics in second post. More to come!

[Boost_Lee]

Very nice! I love that DIY EPM!

[af_1132]

Oh...my...it...is...alive

The Ghost shall haunt once more!

We will all be here from now on!

What is it with companies creating shipping labels and then taking 5-10 days to actually deliver the item to the carrier? Do they think that consumers don't notice this? Also, don't blame the snow storms in the North East when you are delivering out of the South West ether.... I got that one last week.

If an order/item isn't ready to ship, tell me up front, I'd be OK with that! Better than trying to make it look like they shipped next day. When they had no plans to do so. /rant

Back to the build........

[GhostAccord]

Few more pictures posted up!

[GhostAccord]

Finally....... the rest of my exhaust showed up from KTeller today!



3" stainless pipe, Magnaflow resonator and all the hangers. It is a really nice kit they put together. Well worth the wait!

Now, I have a week off before I go back to work. Wonder if I can squeeze some Accord love in there somewhere.......

Yes! Yes you can love the Accord!

I've got that Magnaflow resonator, just 2.25". It's pretty loud on the streets. I imagine your setup is going to be much louder!

What? .......

Did you post the rules because I used 2.4L as my Model and ITB as my trim in the thread title? To be honest there really isn't much CD5 or EX left of this thing, it's completely custom!
