Holy crap, on the outside that Accord looks stocker than stock! Whatta hoot, I wish I could do something like that with my 4 dr Cavalier!
You can. If I can do it to this pile of ****, you can do it to the Cavi... I know a couople guys whom have 500+ WHP cavis. I can probably get you in touch with them if you like.
It all commes down to how bad you want it... None of the kids understand why I dont want a cookie cutter civic or HYPE R integra, but im big (6'3" and around 290 LBS... The Accord is comfy and very very dirty and sneaky... Most of the V8 guys really dont like it that much... Cars really clean inside and out too... ALL the power **** still works (Its an EX so it has the power moonroof and all that ****) Just had to lose the A/C. It also has a custom tube frame front subrame we builkt along with tractin bar/heim jinted rasius rods. It sees 97% of its time on the street, and I look for people to **** with in it when I get bored at night.
Usually gets people by suprise, but I like different. ANd comfy. EVERYTHING was built in me and my friend Mike and Joshes garage by us. Motor, Turbo mani and setup, Trannys... ALl of it... NO ONE makes **** for a CD5 Accord.... BUt theres alot going on behind the scenes to make it all work.
The Achilles heel is definately the tranny... I rip the teeth off of 2nd and fourth gears in the OEM boxes not even on full boost (The car is heavy by Jap car stanards) 10 or so so far, Ive even broke one oif the gears in the above pictured Forged straightcuts (Theres a 4k gearset in it now) ... I BEAT THE CRAP out of it... Ive goten VERY good at R&Ring trannys out of it and fixing them... LOL. Out of neccesity. It used to really piss me off, but its the price I pay to have the car I want. It rides like a Cadillac on the big tires, and unless you catch the extended studs, The M&H on tires, or the blacked out Frontmount... There NOTHING that gives it away....
WHich was the idea!
I look forward to the DBB 67MM,. This thing was rediculous with the 61.. BUt maxed it out QUICKLY... We didnt think my setup would be quite efficient as it is... The turbos really holding it back, hence the upgrade, and the new mani we are building for it, along with the new 1600cc injectors... IOll post some pics and dyno results once theyre done
Thanks, I couldnt have made a truly educated descision without your site here!!!!
LOL
