Some of you probably recognized me from other forums or by older posts but let me do a quick intro. I've owned this 1981 Honda Accord since I was 18, and I'm 26 right now. I always wanted and wondered how the car would look like slammed ever since I was 16 and I always been a fan of this particular car and slammed cars of course :p
This, is what I had back when I was 17
Theres always an issue when you own a not-so-popular car with finding aftermarket parts. I am stuck with finding proper lowering springs and such for it. THEN Honda decided to be gay and used 4x120 as the bolt pattern instead of the more popular 4x114.3 or 4x100 -.- Let me tell you, finding anything other than stock steel wheels IS A BITCH!
I was lucky to score a set of 14" 4x120 wheels few years back and I've been rocking the same wheel for years along with slightly chopped springs all around.
My God EW!
After numerous amount of spring choppage..
It looks good.. but
I've decided that I had enough with this shitty bouncy ride and got myself a pair of Evo III front coilovers that I obviously have to modify them to fit
Same ride height, except the ride quality is 1000000000x better than my old cut springs and blown struts
Fast forward another year, I've decided that the gay 14" isn't cutting it so I went shopping around and did a few research on the hub conversion.
Used a 1980 Prelude hubs up front with 4x100 bolt pattern.
BYE BYE 4x120!!
And 1980 Civic rear drums (no pics)
The end result?
Not perfect but its getting there More pictures as I go lower sooon!

But yeah I've waited too long for this! Stupid 4x120 PCD is making it sooo hard for me to find anything decent to fit.
