Hi chaps!
My name is Tom, I'm (very) new to the forum, be nice!
Here's my Accord as I bought it.
It's a '93 CC1 Coupe. 2.0 Non-Vtec Auto. It was entirely standard other than cut springs and OEM wheels in black.
My initial plans were pretty straight forward, buy some decent wheels, clean it up a touch and head down the OEM route.
It took a while, but I settled finally on a knackered set of Work VSX in 17x8 guise, et 35.
Here's what they looked like:
They needed a bit of work, so off to the refurber's they went!
The guy sprayed them completely the wrong colour, but I went with it.
Had to drop to a 205/40/17 tyre all round to get them under the arches, but was fairly happy with the fitment.
At this point I was really craving some extra lows. The car was sat nicely, but I couldn't help thinking "more?".
So, with the help of some eBay sleeves, we got her down a bit more.
Note the VR6 splitter fitted around the same time.
Now we're talking!
after around 6 months I'd become tired of my wheels being peppermint green, so time for a respray.
Also test fitted some SSR mk1's at the same time...
(Wasn't feeling them)
And so we arrive at where we are now... Removed roof rack and stickers, and I'm very happy with the stance now.
All comments and questions gladly welcomed!
Tom.
