Hello everyone,
Some of you may remember me, some may know me, some may be asking who the f is this guy, but I am Colin going by the username straightedge. I have had seven Accord's in the 10 years I have been modifying cars, most being cb7's. I have had H22's, H23's, F22A6's, turbo's, N/A, and stock. I'm not the best, brightest or richest, but I have built and driven some fun and surprising cars.
Before the power list was reset, I was in the top 10 of most powerful turbo Accord's. I don't think any of those in the top 10 except for me were using the stock F22A6 block, or even a stock H-series block. My history in the grand scheme is brief, but has made an impact and I still search my username for validation. Any read on for a brief description of why this thread now exists.
The Build Begins:
December of 2011 I purchased a near mint 1992 EX Coupe with the intentions of it being my daily driver. The vehicle has 300k miles but has been maintained meticulously and the quality and reliability shows. In the garage sat my old less streetable Accord that was housing my old A6+turbo setup and was living a life destined for death. The stress of leaving that car and what I have accomplished behind finally weighed on me enough to decide to bring to life some of the parts otherwise sitting still. So it began.
These are the most current photographs of the car. Under the body it is holding onto my D2 coilovers, rear brake upgrade, a front Energy Suspension sway bar, ITR wheels, and a lovely eBay generic exhaust system. Aside from a few interior upgrades (tint, cd player, subwoofers) it is stock and just maintained. I drive this vehicle everyday, but I have recently purchased a truck and still have use of my Passport and my girlfriends newest car, a Saab 9-3. Because of these things, I can afford some downtime to this car when modifying is happening.
This has gone on for a while, so I'm going to let this process for some and field any questions based on my past cars, my new plans, or how I will do what I do best. Below is a semi-teaser of the strangest project I will be undertaking to upgrade this car from a daily driver, to a semi street monster.
Cheers all. Let the questions fly.
