deevergote : 1992 Accord LX

[micksf22accord]

nice car deev I like it

[deevergote]

Ok, once again my pre-purchase decisions. These are final. The money is being budgeted as I type

Exedy Stage 1 organic clutch
Fidanza 7.5lb aluminum flywheel (cheaper than the ACT, and Zigenballz loves this setup )
OBX helical LSD (think Quaife, only half the price )
Fushigi short shifter
93 EX 6 spoke alloy wheels

Those things ARE being purchased within the week. The sale of my BBS rims will cover the clutch and flywheel, and the rest is unspent Christmas money. Tomorrow is my birthday, so if I'm lucky someone will throw me some cizash then too


IN addition to those things, I have a buttload of other stuff to go on the car:

P28 (waiting for the chipping hardware to be tested)
AEM cam gears (may wait till I get some aftermarket cams)
New used Avital alarm
Used (but in good condition) weatherstripping


I'll update when I actually put this stuff on. I just wanted to jot my plans down here! (It's kinda fun to look back at when I didn't have things... or when plans change and I can see when I was "definitely" getting something... Like Konig Heliums )

Now that I bought my second car, my LX will have to wait on those things... That was the end of my extra cash. I'm planning on boosting the DX before putting any major work into the LX. That means the H22 will be a daily driver in semi-limp-mode (the clutch works, but not enough for serious racing). Stay tuned for a Member's Ride thread about the DX!

Nice ride! I really like the Hanabi's on your ride.

What color is your CB7? Is it grey or is it dark green? My contacts could be blurry or I could just be color blind... who knows!!

[deevergote]

It's the stock Phantom Gray color, but a lot of people see green. I like it. It's just different enough to generate questions, but it's not outrageous.


And Rich, yeah, those pics ARE old as dirt I need to get some good new ones... I wish I had a camera! All I can do is rely on the pictures taken by others at the meets!

oh shit..its phantom grey?? i thought it was green to..hahaa

[deevergote]

Nope. Stock color. That's how it looked in 1992.

Mike, one of these days I really need to go up there!

[JaK FRoSTWhiTE]

^^Come to think of it Mike. That phantom grey is very rare to buy. You might see a couple here and there tho.
I have made two observations.

1.They are difficult to find on sale
2.I think they were only made in the US

I might be wrong on #2, so correct me if necessary.

yeah def lower it, car looks damn good right now

[Bluejayde]

I've only ever seen one Phantom Gray, and you know how common our cars are. I was gonna paint my car that color for a while until I decided I didn't want to spend the money.

[deevergote]

yeah def lower it, car looks damn good right now

Lower it? It IS lowered! Nearly 2 inches. I'm getting some 45 series tires with my next set (or the equivalent, since I'm looking to replace the 17s with 16s...) That wheel gap is due to the tires, not the ride height.

I always thought Phantom Gray was a fairly common color... though now that I think about it, I can't remember seeing that many!

Note the inspection sticker in my windshield... It now reads 12, and I'm driving a Ford Contour (or so the inspection sticker says...)
