What kind of camera do you have? HOW do you take pics like this? friggin awesome man

Any digital camera that allows you to set shutter-speed can do this. Set the camera shutter for anywhere between 2 to 4 seconds, and it'll allow more light to reach the sensor. Obviously when driving, there will be significant blurring due to movement, but you should be able to get something very similar.


accord4thgen: Haha, yeah, waking up to my car without wheels sucked. Missed a day of work and ended up spending a huge chunk of change for the Volks.

Yes, before anyone asks, I am the original owner. Car purchased July 22nd, 1993. Thanks for browsing.

So many years and you're still not bored with the car?
Thats wats up

And for some nostalgia: back in 1999 with 1st set of rims.

Are those MSW Type 55C's?

I haven't seen a set of those in forever. I remember when Car and Driver did their 40th anniversary Lingenfelter Corvette they had a set of those on the car.

I wish I bought my cb originally and was the only owner, but I was around 9 years old around 1992. Instead I'm stuck with a slut that's been used for a good 140k miles You are lucky man, don't ever sell your car

[accordtypeR]

HELL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

i've never been jacked, though there have been attempts. i'm truly sorry for your loss man. your car has truly inspired me to try and take mine to the next level.

this'll probably sound stupid, but try and find the silver lining in the clouds. maybe this'll be a blessing in disguise.

i leave my hex key in the glove compartment too. i'm afraid i'll get a flat and not be able to take my rims off... now i think i should lock the glove box or take it out.

again, i'm sorry man.

That truely sucks what happened. I would have passed out for sure.

[accordtypeR]

OMG thats how my car looked bck in the day. Including the rims

Yeah, they were MSW Type 55C's. I liked them for the most part. They were a pain in the @$$ to balance though. (Most shops don't have the right attachments, or know-how, to balance them properly.)

That said, I would've kept them if my brembo calipers didn't get in the way.

maybe it's been covered in here already....but how much were the brembos and and do they have a kit in oem rotor size? not like i'm complaining about it, i think they're all sick, but is that kinna stopping power necessary without having done some more engine work? still very impressive in the whole roller's department. much love!

[d112crzy]

holy shit man, your car so fuckin clean!!!!!!!!! and thats an understatement.

It really sucks about the rims man. I think I might get some of those, in gunmetal or black tho.

you have truly inspired me to keep going with my car and just keeping it clean.

Sucks to hear about your loss man. The Volks with the Grill look clean. Also love the exhaust it fits the exhaust cutout perfect.

brembo big brake kit, $1200 and up:

a kit of oem rotor size would just be brembo brakes with the pads of your choice. brembo sells blank, slotted, drilled, drilled and slotted rotor replacements.

it's been quite some time since usc's wheels were lifted. he's had volks for almost 3 years now...

well i meant like i would want brembo calipers and the same sized rotors. i don't wanna run bigger mags.

Um... you don't want the calipers because by doing so, you will be forced to get new wheels. Clearing the thick calipers is the problem, not so much the bigger rotors.

On another note, when I got the Gran Turismo kit, it was $2100+. I recently saw a Brembo brochure where it seemed like they now make a BBK similar to the AEM one. (Bigger rotors but giving you an adapter to still retain your OEM calipers.) However, I have a feeling since our Accords are so old, they won't have a kit available for us. But you're more than welcomed to do more research on it.
