sonikaccord : 1992 Accord EX

[sonikaccord]

I was thinking about a nice velocity stack there. lol
And I could find a nice Lexus or Merc for you to smash into...instant modification

I hope I finish it too! It is tricky because the heat sink for these lights are huge! But it looks like they will fit almost perfectly into our housing width and height wise.

More pics. I even took pictures of the LED die which very few people will get to see.

I feel the same way. I really want to see how they look on the car with my new hood. I don't want to cut the back housing of the one pieces out, so I may end up doing something crazy.

So three things I should be receiving soon:

JDM One pieces
JDM Fogs
Invader hood

Ooooooohhh Daaaaaang! You've been busy. I'm guessing you have a carbon fiber hood now. What hood pins are you going to get?

[sonikaccord]

I got a set of aerotech's coming. It's going to suck cutting in to this hood, but after doing this retro I feel like a master with the dremel.

Got work done this weekend.
Fog lights are in, but not wired up yet.
Hood and hood pins installed.
Legend lip reinstalled
JDM 2 pieces installed, need to order corners off of the Bay. These will be up for sale once I finish the retro which is coming along slowly but surely btw.

I go for an alignment tomorrow and new tires next week. I'm going to actually make this set last for a few years instead of buying cheap, used tires.

So the goals for the next few months are to finish up my ongoing projects and NOT buy anything new:
Buy that damned bumper mount thing!!
MDX retro
Install front and rear sidemarkers
Install extended top hats and bumpstops and lower to final height.
Get the passenger's side headlight mount straightened out, professionally.
DIY switchback LED for front and side lights
s2k CMC install

A few other things are on the list but I'm not going to list them now.

She looks like she's coming out of the grave in that pic, revived to life.

Are you talking about the slide bracket for the bumper so it sits flush with the fender? Do you need just one side or both? I've got extras I could ship out .

[sonikaccord]

That's kind of the look I was going for.

I have a code 43, loose a/c belt, and a weird cranking problem that is probably my fault from back in my noob days

Anyway, here are some pics in the meanwhile. Yes the pins are slanted, the supposedly follow the lines of the hood. It's good enough for me.

Those lights are awesome, man. Have you seen the new Marta buses? They have smaller versions of those and they're bright as hell. It's good to see stuff coming back together. Is the frame still straight?

[af_1132]

Gosh dang! Good job on those hood latches.

What's up guys. I'm starting my welding classes! I'll start learning oxyacetylene first and then go up from there. I can solder, so I think I have the hand coordination down but we will see when I start my first torch welds. Progress has been slow, but here is what I got so far:

Better! But not where I want her yet.



I want this to be my final ride height. I installed the bumpstops, but my UCA keeps banging. ugh I really need stiffer fronts. The stock Ground Controls are too soft.



Found some clean OEM speakers. I destroyed them by accident cause the paper is soooooooooo thin, dry and fragile. I stole the stock connectors from them and will try to wire them up to my new/used speakers.



Junkyard score!! I haven't tested them yet but whoever installed these put the crossover in the door. smh


Another JY score! Missing a few parts but it's the 91 SE interior in all of it's glory.

Atlanta people, the seats should still be there if anyone wants them
They aren't perfect and do have rips and tears. The headrests are mostly clean.

I'm glad to see this thing all cleaned up with a white front bumper.
