Some of you may have seen this thread I made a couple of weeks ago. But if you didn't, my dad's LS400 was for sale, fast forward a bit and it sold. So obviously my dad was then without a car, now this is the 21st century and let's be honest, if you don't have a car, you're bollocksed. So the search was on, criteria was a sensible family car, under 2.0 and not silly money to buy and run (A lot like the Alfa he had before, but then sold, hmm...). Anyway a couple of days later he comes home with this
(IMG:http://i56.tinypic.com/s2qvyv.jpg) (IMG:http://i52.tinypic.com/ifu42g.jpg) A 2001 Honda Accord 1.8i VTEC 'Sport' with 11 Months MOT for a very fair £750. Good buy I say, but as we all know some things are always too good to be true, and before we knew it, VTEC kicked in just a little bit too hard... (IMG:http://i54.tinypic.com/5ozj8k.jpg) That is of course the car just after being towed home by a friend. The real story is that my dad actually bought the car with a slipping clutch, hence the decent price (Was originally up for £900). He thought he'd get at least a few more days out of it but it decided to f**k itself up on the way home, cue 6,000rpm and no movement. Still, one of them things. So now that's been replaced and it's all very good stuff. We ordered a little something though... (IMG:http://i51.tinypic.com/ic1i76.jpg) Even though it looks like one it really isn't a dildo, or a vibrator for that matter. It is of course an über JDM tight dori dori dorifto sideways S14 AE86 Type-R 2JZ GT-R gear knob. Which means my dad now gets an extra 50bhp and he can drift his FWD car. So we fitted it, as you do. (IMG:http://i52.tinypic.com/s5lrg7.jpg) (IMG:http://i51.tinypic.com/23i877l.jpg) The difference is immense, we beat a gay white and black Toyota with some stupid Japanese writing on it in a drift battle on the way home. There's a list of jobs that need doing though, tidying it up mainly, you might be able to see the damage to the bumpers in the photos, the previous owner didn't really look after it too much tbh, so we'll get the outside tidied up, some new bumpers may be on the cards. Also, the interior is f**kING DISGUSTING, f**king smells of all sorts of nasty s**t and the seats have some weird stains. So the seats will be replaced ASAFP, my dad wants either the Recaro seats from the Type-R or the leather seats from the Executive trim level. But if I'm sly enough I may be able to get him to look aftermarket (If anyone's selling cheap Bride seats let me know). We may add some nice JDM influenced modifications too. Nothing too OTT, maybe some wind deflectors, a new steering wheel and some minor stickerage. The F18B2 engine isn't bad, not too sure if it's very tuneable, but tbh my dad's not too fussed about getting his hands dirty under the bonnet anyway, he would like some new wheels however and he did seem to like the idea of lowering springs, but we'll have to see how that pans out. Anyway I've written WAY too much now This post has been edited by Ben.H: Sep 23 2011, 04:34 PM |

Curtis, I've already got links sorted for most of the stuff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/xd.gif) That being said I appreciate the info. Think we'll be saving up for lowering and wheels next, found these springs, this was after I saw an advert in a magazine, I'll be searching properly for a good compromise between quality and value tomorrow, 35mm drop is enough. As far as wheels go, we'll be after 17" wheels, 9" inch wide on the rear and 8.5" up front, the fitment is 4x114.3 so if anyone knows any sweet wheels that aren't ridiculously expensive let us know, we'll have plenty of time before we can actually afford both (That said I'll be in a job soon, hopefully, so that'll speed things up a little bit). As far as modifications we'll go from the most expensive to the cheapest, so after lowering and wheels we'll fix the bodywork, then probably ICE, after that it'll just be smaller things like the splitter, aerial and all of that
That said some modifications are incredibly cheap so we might do the properly cheap ones now and get 'em out the way, like the debadging, we did that earlier, removed the rear Accord and Sport badge, still got some of that s**t left from the Sport badge though. Might see about getting the camshaft cover painted also I'm gonna check out some Honda forums and such, hopefully I can pick the brains of other Honda owners and see what's what. It'd be cool if we could get this car on display at Japfest next year Edit: Dat front bumper/fog light assembly/door mirrors/grille (IMG:http://flatounet.net/Images/Voitures/Honda/Accord%20Type-R%20-%2001.jpg) This post has been edited by Ben.H: Sep 24 2011, 09:19 PM |
