I picked up my new motor on the 15th May, and this is what has been done to it since then!
List of modifications
- Lowered 60mm front, 40mm rear
- 15" Rota OSR wheels on 185/50/15 Conti Contact 2's
- Cone air filter and removal of original air intake system
- Custom back box
- Smoked tail lights, fog lights (rear) and indicators
- JBL GTO 508C components in front doors
- MAC audio 5 1/4" 2-way coaxials in rear
- 12" JBL P12 sub in a custom enclosure in the trunk
- JBL GTO 1004E amp powering the components and the sub
- Green LED footwell illumination
- Sleepy / winking eye conversion and control switches
- Aftermarket "JDM" yellow front fog lights
- Painted front and rear bumpers a soft metallic grey (will paint the sides to match later on)
List of plans
- Air suspension
- Install 4th generation Honda Prelude front seats
- Tinted windows
- Overall restoration and de-rust
This is my new car / toy (not sure which role is the primary one!), a 1988 Honda Accord Aerodeck EXi with 4W-ALB, the A20A4 engine (which sounds beautiful), sunroof, electric windows, cruise control and of course, it's a manual too!
I've got many plans for it, but I'm mainly keeping it factory as it's in mint condition! (note: this idea went out the window about 2 or 3 weeks into ownership, when I lowered it, put it on alloys, and started writing out a long list of ideas for it!!)
Pics from the eBay listing.
Pics from tonight now I've collected it. I'll take some more in the daytime.
I've already started playing with it. Got some nice speakers in the rear, waiting for the speakers to arrive to go in the front, got my stereo in, and I've done a short ram air intake as the original intake is about 4 foot long! :shock:
Before:
After:
Oh, and it has this sticker on the driver's side wing on the top!!!! :shock:
Got some footwell illumination going on now. It's wired into the door open sensor, so that when the passenger door opens, the passenger footwell illuminates, and the same applies to the driver's side.
Got the new component speakers in the front doors. JBL GTO 508C's and they sound immense, and they're not even amped yet!!
Been playing again today, and got some bass in there now! 12" JBL power series sub and a JBL GTO 1004 amp bridged to 3 channels to power the sub and the components up front.
Got a new exhaust on it now too, and it sounds glorious!!!
Got a video up on YouTube now. Filmed by my mate Gav. Ignore the comment at the end, as amusing as it may be :lol:

Done a bit of smoking. 25 cigarettes in one day!!! Was smoking so much, Marvin decided he wanted to look cool too so he got his smoke on!
Got the livery added today for Incarsolutions. That's my mate's company in Crayford, Kent, where I do all the work on my car, and I always advertise them on my cars, but thought I'd do it a bit bigger and better than before this time
And saving the best for last.................... Sexilicious new rimmage!!
