mndude07 : 1992 Accord DX

[mndude07]

As I wait for my wheels to be sandblasted and my throttle body and plenum to get back from maxbore, I did a little something with my runners today.

[mndude07]

I've got my IAB plate all cleaned up and good to go!

[mndude07]

Got my EX alloys back today, powdercoated satin black. I'm set to have tires put on tomorrow...BF Goodrich Traction T/A-V. I can't wait!

[mndude07]

Tada!

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I'm really happy with how they turned out...the bronze color was just reflection...though I almost had them coated bronze.

Not too bad really...I paid 50 per wheel for the powdercoating itself, but I had to have them sandblasted first, which was another 15 per wheel.

...and yet another teaser

[mndude07]

I got the intake manifold swap done, and I must say, a huge difference. The car runs so much smoother, it almost feels like a new car. Acceleration is better and there doesn't seem to be any power loss anywhere in the powerband. The transmission shifts alot smoother too as a result, and the car just sounds like sex on wide open throttle.

the coupe is hot man!

couple questions:

what kind of arm rest is that...what did it come out of....and did you paint your interior door panels...if so with what kinda of paint?
