1998 Honda Accord V6
The car started out completely stock. I bought it from a used car lot with 58000 miles on it. It now has 113000 miles on it. I started out by getting some better speakers and a flashy head unit while I was in high school. I then got some 17” wheels when I needed new tires. A little while after that my suspension went out so I just bought Tein SS full coil-overs. These served me well for a couple of years. I really liked the ride and handling of them. I then decided to buy a lip kit. I hadn’t seen many people with the Mugen front and sides pull it off and most of them had diff color cars so I decided to be one of the fewer folks with the look. First thing I noticed about the kit was that it barely lowered the car’s stance. I maybe got an inch lower by adding the lip kit. So to make it look as good as I could I put the Tein’s down all the way. About the time I got my bodykit on the HID retrofit fad blew up like crazy. I had always liked HID but never liked how they looked in the OEM housing because of all the glare. I began keeping an eye out on the forums and before I knew it I had all the parts I needed. I used www.customlightz.com as my HID retrofitter. He is probably one of the most knowledgeable guys about HID retrofits out there and they are doing really well. The HID retrofit was one of the most fun mods my car had. It made me love driving at night. After a couple years my tires were wearing out again, so I decided to upgrade to 18” wheels. I ordered some Exel DL-46 rims that aren’t really expensive or rare. They have been good to me so far. This really made a big difference in how my car looked and has grown to be my car’s signature look. I really liked the Tein SS but it really annoyed me that I couldn’t get the car any lower so I bought some Omni-Power full coil-overs. These have rebound adjustment so I can cornerweight the car and still go lower. I also picked the sport version of the coilover which makes the spring rate (12k/10k) to make it so I would need less suspension travel since I was going even lower. I also bought the Ingall’s front A-arm camber kit which let’s you adjust camber while keeping your suspension travel. So even though my car is slammed it still can be useful on the streets. Right now the car is completely torn apart and when I say completely I mean it. You can check out my build thread here. I am planning on doing a motor/tranny swap and a full build so keep watching for more information about that! Click on videos to Play.
