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 |

Okay, here's a list of modifications me and my dad discussed and that we'd like to do. In no particular order
- New headunit with iPod compatibility - New speakers - Subwoofer, nothing OTT, just something that give us some moderate bass and doesn't take up too much room or looks s**t - New numberplates in different sizes - Remove the 'Accord' and 'Sport' badges - New wheels/tyres - Lowering - Laguna splitter, or an OEM front bumper with foglights and a lip, if such exists - Wind deflectors - Minor stickerage - Spinners - New exhaust, something that makes a nicer noise but isn't tacky or anything, nothing to in your face - Paint cam cover, not sure what colour, not red though, don't want anyone to think we're trying to make it like a Type-R, because it isn't, performance wise anyway - New seats, either the Type-R Recaros, Executive leather seats or maybe aftermarket ones - New steering wheel, something swag like Nardi if my dad's feeling to splash out a bit - Shark fin aerial - Godfather or dixie horn Along with repairing all the damage, there's some stuff that needs sorting, interior light isn't working for instance This is what we want to do anyway, of course it's all down to money really This post has been edited by Ben.H: Sep 24 2011, 12:32 AM |

Okay, here's a list of modifications me and my dad discussed and that we'd like to do. In no particular order - New headunit with iPod compatibility Keep an eye out at Aldi, My headunit was £30 from there - New speakers Measure the door speakers you have, and pinch some from an executive car at a scrappers - Subwoofer, nothing OTT, just something that give us some moderate bass and doesn't take up too much room or looks s**t Same again, but you will need an amp to power it - New numberplates in different sizes I'm sure you could get a cheap set of 'show' plates online, just make sure you - Remove the 'Accord' and 'Sport' badges First thing to do on your list, boil a kettle, get something thin, strong, but not sharp, and ease them away. Tar remover will see off all the gunk - New wheels/tyres I've got no advice here, just see what you can get from another higher model - Lowering If you're gonna lower it, don't f**k about with cheapskate stuff here, get genuine stuff, doesn't have to be expensive, just no cutting springs or anything silly like that - Laguna splitter, or an OEM front bumper with foglights and a lip, if such exists just hit up the 'bay - Wind deflectors these will probably be quite expensive on account of their rarity, so be careful - Minor stickerage bombing is always fun, just grab yourself a stickerbomb book from amazon or ebay - Spinners the f**k. - New exhaust, something that makes a nicer noise but isn't tacky or anything, nothing to in your face as a general rule, cat-backs will provide a better noise than if you just buy a back-box/tailpipe combo, but is naturally more expensive - Paint cam cover, not sure what colour, not red though, don't want anyone to think we're trying to make it like a Type-R, because it isn't, performance wise anyway just look for other details in the bay, and colour code accordingly - New seats, either the Type-R Recaros, Executive leather seats or maybe aftermarket ones just ebay something from a higher model, see how easy it is to switch runners to a different car to really open up the options - New steering wheel, something swag like Nardi if my dad's feeling to splash out a bit just leave it, if you must, look for a nicer wheel from a newer honda, at least you can keep the airbag - Shark fin aerial make sure its a genuine one and not one of those s**tty door hangers off ebay - Godfather or dixie horn demontweeks has everything you need for that Along with repairing all the damage, there's some stuff that needs sorting, interior light isn't working for instance This is what we want to do anyway, of course it's all down to money really |
