HenRoc : 1992 Accord EX

[Accrdwgnguy]

Did you look at the wagon? I'm looking for 1/4 panels or a super clean rust free wagon.

[HenRoc]

Well they valued the car at $700 even with all the mods I had done to it.

The reason? It was already labled a salvage titled car, of which I was never made aware of.

It had been submerged in the floods during Hurrican Katrina, then was sold at a salvage auction..where it ended up in Florida before getting up here to New Hampshire back in 2008.

Funny thing is...the state never caught on to the car (I had NO idea it was that bad) or did the insurance company...not even CARFAX came up with it.

I found out a month ago via getvin.com.


It looks like I'll be keeping this car long term..until I decide it's ultimate fate.

[HenRoc]

Wow realized i havent really updated much in awhile..well because..there isn't much to update.


In other news I bought a truck, back in November so the CB gets less road time nowadays.

[Straight Success]

Pics of said truck.

[HenRoc]

Gee no love for my truck you whores.

Anyways..new wheels were installed on the car. A picked up a set of TSWs for free (I know it's chromes and they are TSWs but you can't beat free.)

225/45/17 tires no rubbing




This morning

I'm digging the wheels, TSW Kylamis, right? Got the caps that go with it?

That's fantastic that you got them free, where'd you find them?

Thanks Mike

I actually had no idea what type of TSWs they were to be honest. I got these for free from working on a friends CL. He had them on his 6th gen Accord (V6) and handed them to me as an even payment for getting his CL on the road.

Unfortunately it's missing 2 out of 4 caps so I need to find 2 more.

I wanted to get rid of them but I like the way they look on the car at the moment. I am on the hunt for another CB just so I can have a clean slate.

I can't seem to stay away from this particular generation.

Try Town Fair...they're a big TSW distributor. Just try not to punch the desk help in the face (I cringe dealing with 90% of the people that work there, which is why I typically avoid them like the plague), but they might have a spare set.

Also, I believe this is the center cap. Center Cap 8762. I'd pop one off and check yours though, just to be safe.

Thanks for the link man!

Yeah I went to a local Town Fair up here I asked the manager since I've known him for awhile but he told me it's something they can no longer get.

I might have to slightly roll the fenders since taking corners to hard causes the tires to rub on the fenders in the rear.

Sounds about right. That's gotta be a what, +40 offset? My old TSWs were 17x7, +40 and with a 215/45 I'd rub in just the right circumstance.

I believe so. They do poke out a little. I must say I am impressed but not so much with how much I can feel the weight of the wheels on the car.

These have to be at least 7.5 inches wide. And it looks really low in the front because the Koni's have had over a year to settle in.

Just good for back roads cruising..highway? Scares me, probably because of the mismatched tires but I'll be replacing them when time comes.

Long over due transmission:

Now you're shifting like Jeremy Clarkson!^

hell yeaaa

I just ordered new Honda transmission bolts , and it came with ARP flywheel and pressure plate bolts.

Picked up from another member on the boards today. It's a NON LSD trans though but I'll probably get a Quaife for it by the end of year.

[jst_4_kiks]

yeah. new trans mated to an H22 has got to be a bunch better. much needed LSD required for those "traction" times
