Ok, at long last, I'm finally making one of the two major mods to my car for this year........



stay tuned for images of a newer, dropped(er) wagon and for my next big mod in the works........

when was this???

I never seen this wagon. Nice, I like it. Those seats look nice to. Did they fit without mods?

Great looking wagon. Very clean, I am jealous, as I have always wanted a wagon.

[91 EX-R]

Nice! Can't wait to see the car with the new coilovers installed!


I'm curious as to what the next big mod will be.......

Dude, I told you, I was in Clermont FLA back the beginning of February, even went down to Miami for a day. I had my eye out for you, but I didn't even see one CB in Miami.

Next time I will make sure to plan a meet with you when I'm down, I have to see your wag in person.

Thanks man, I'm going to have to check out yours too, I like any H22 wagon.

The seats are terrific, between the PSPEC S/S and the 02 Accord coupe seats I have two mods that I enjoy literally everytime I'm in the car. The fronts bolted right in, the backs needed a little modification to install, but all in all they were like 3/10 for difficulty to make work. I highly recommend them, super comfortable and adjustable and heatable!

Thanks man, you don't really get the full sense of the dents, scratches and insidious rust from the pictures, but I appreciate the comment. I'm ever jealous of your insane boosted-ness.

Nice! Can't wait to see the car with the new coilovers installed!

Pics will be up soon, I'm going to have to take some time to explain my reflections on the setup, I've never owned a non-stock suspension before, it's......interesting.

And you're just going to have to wait to see what's next......it's off the beaten path for typical performance mods around here, thats for sure....I think you'll like it.

Here are some washed out cellphone pics of my drop, all I've had time for up to now.



Being dropped is interesting. It seems that a lot of people with wagons find the ride really bad with coilovers, but I've got my Tein SS-Ps dialed to midway between stiffest and softest and I find the ride quality to be comparable to my stock setup. A little stiffer, but that is actually more comfortable on good roads, and only slightly less comfortable on really bad roads.

I've driven it on the 407, 410, 401, 427 and Gardiner Expressway so far (the 427 and Gardiner were the bumpiest) as well as some prime examples of poorly maintained roads along the Queensway and Parklawn area. So far I've been perfectly comfortable. Complaints of broken backs and aching asses that I've heard from others could not be applied to me. The lack of comfort over bad bumps is at a much more superficial level in my car.

All this being said, while the negatives I've heard haven't applied nearly so strongly in my car, the positives are muted as well. I had been told that a good quality suspension setup and a decent drop would be the biggest alteration to the driving experience you could have, aside from a major engine mod maybe. That is not the truth for me. I'm more excited about hopping into my car and driving it now; in specific driving circumstances I have a smile on my face with the new setup; when changing lanes the car does feel more fluid, serendipitous if you will; but do I feel like I'm now driving a BMW or an S2000? No. Perhaps my limited experience with such premium vehicles has led me to unrealistic expectations of what those cars are really like, but I can only go on my impressions.

I think chassis sway is still an issue. I'm running on just the Teins, no camber kit, no strut bars, no upgraded sway, no traction bar. I could probably spend another $600+ on just that stuff, but I've exhausted my money supply for the year on current mods. Anything else I do will be on the cheap, DIY types of mods.

Nice drop. How much did you pay for those coilovers>

Lookin at the bumper is killin me. I got the same one. I trying to find a nice sedan bumper. Those are skinnier and not as long. Good mod for a wagon.

You said you wanted to check out my wag. Your not gonna find a MRT. This is the only one. New pics on last page.

Hey man, just noticed your post now. Thanks a lot.

The Teins were $1,000CDN. That might not sound like much of a deal, but for SS-P's I was getting quotes of around $1,400, without the EDFC! With the EDFC it was closer to $1,900. So as far as I'm concerned, I got them for half price. If I don't end up using the EDFC I might sell it and recoup some money. I might have to by the end of April

I hate 92/93 front ends. The 90/91 is blunter and more Euro to my eyes. I loved the front end of my 90 sedan. I would like to do a full front end conversion to a 90/91 front bumper, grill and headlights. That will be a colossal pain however, so it'll probably never happen. Right now I just would like to find some spare 92/93 headlights to blackhouse.

Why don't you get a real MRT up man? You have enough posts, MRTs are so much better!

thanks guys, it does seem rare to find a 5 speed and rust proofed in my area, a lot of the local Accord guys seem to like it. I do.

I'm still looking for a place to get what rust there is cleaned up. I wish there weren't so many crooked body shops around.
