    jimy : 1990 Accord DX

    Decided to make a members page. That is all...

    I wanted to build a car that you don't see around all the time. I wanted to be different. I wanted people to look at my car as I drive by and have them snap there head back to look at it again. I know that there are other Accords out there as well. My goal is to have one of the top 10 cleanest CB7 in Minnesota.

    Although I'm not one of the top 10 yet, I hope to get there one day.

    History of the car.

    I took the car in a trade back in summer of 2008 for my Toyota Tacoma. This is what it looked like when I first picked it up. All body kit up.



    This fart can was surprising quite for its design. But it wasn't my style.

    But it came with a freshly swapped H22A Type S motor.

    This was my truck I traded for it. I loved that truck.


    I took off the kit and installed the DX bumpers back on. I didn't care for the 9091 front bumper so bought a 9293 front bumper for the car.



    fall of 08, I wanted to turbo the car so I started piecing my kit together. But I was heading towards the wrong direction with this. I needed to have good suspension and a solid tranny first. I ended up selling my kit 5 months later.

      These are just random photos of the car progressing. I went through quite a few set of wheels. Never found one that I liked.






      I changed to a different exhaust. I wanted a muffler that had more of a stock look and quiter tone. Stock look yes. Tone . Way too loud for my liking.


      Got rid of it and bought what I should of bought at first.



      Didn't care for the black bumpers so I had them painted.


      Winter of 09. I wanted to be the first CB7 in MN to be 5 lug. Plus the wheels I want was a 5 lug pattern. I worked on the car suspension 1-2 hrs a day during winter after work.


      The car had drums so I had to convert to rear disk first.

      Bought OEM ITR's. The wheels I wanted.


      Swapped out my KYB AGX with intax springs for some Teins Basics. Wanted a smoother ride



      Odyssey front control arm with Brembo cross/slotted rotors.

      Ebay rear cross/slotted ITR rotors with prelude hub on Accord SE rear disk swap. Had to buy new rear calipers.


      I also wanted a new tranny. A better tranny. I plan to be boosted down the road. So purchased a F series LSD tranny built from Gear Speed. Longer gears will be better suited for turbo. Need a good clutch also so it was mated with a ACT Pro light flywheel, ACT heavy duty pressure plate, and ACT street disk



      I needed added security to my car that never leaves the garage. So I ended up purchasing a NRG wheel set.



      Installed these while the car was in pieces during winter.



      This was how the car looked came spring of 2010.


      I thought a roof rack would be cool to have. I was wrong on that one also. Took it down a couple days later and sold it.

                    Thanks. I always thought about making one but never got around to it. Its chipped to run at 9500rpm but by no means will it ever be reved that high. Head isn't built for it.

                    The color is from the factory. Its a stock color that only came on 9091 Coupe DX. A limited run was made and the nice thing was, they all came with black and gray interior.

                            Should be a warning to those who have asthma...it will take your breath away..literally

                            I've always liked the Phoenix Red for the fact that they came with the black and grey interior.

                            And yes that color is very very rare especially in the jy.

                              Ah and you make the mrt again! Nice. Man didn't know you had a tranny like that already. You definitly have to turbo the h.

                              What's the future plans besides the wire tuck?
