  • Oh noez! Another 6th Gen!

    Soup dawgs.

    I'm new around here but I have familiarized myself with what it takes for some nice stance action. I drive an 01' Accord Coupe LX V6 (pretty much SofaKingCG2's but silver).

    Current wheels are Gram Light T57-RC and the specs are 18x7.5 +48mm all around. I'm shooting for 18x8.5 +35mm and 18x9 +30mm for my next wheels. I'm getting something three piece so I can rip them apart if needed, and I want a nice lip. Monoblock wheels are sweet but they're not good if you're not content with the size... See pictures below.











    It's kind of hard to see in the pictures but my rear is like super sunk battleship status and my fronts are following suit, so here's one of the rear.



    The coilovers I'm on are all the way down (I actually removed one spring seat from each front coilover to drop it that much more). The exhaust is something my cousin and I made. It sounds pretty balla.

    As for the new wheels... I've been saving for a while now so I'm just hoping that I can sell these bitches and get something better. I've already acquired tires so I really just need the wheels. I'm debating whether I should go for a set of Work VS-XX or something with a step lip. Decisions decisions...

    If I can sell these I'd be willing to pay up to about 1600 for wheels. They're for sale on Craigslist if anyone wants them haha. Back to hiding now...



    CURRENT MODS (11/1/2010):
    Suspension:
    - AMR custom coilovers with 14K/12K Hyperco springs
    - Comptech 22mm rear sway bar
    - Cusco upper front strut bar
    - Acura TL A-spec wheels (18x8.5 +45mm)
    - Falken Ziex tires (245/40/18)

    Exterior:

    - OEM optional sides
    - OEM optional rear
    - OEM headlights (blackhoused)
    - 98-00 rear bumper conversion
    - AIT carbon fiber rear window spoiler
    - Yakima roof rack with custom basket
    - 8000K Xenith Xenon HIDs

    Performance:
    - AEM short ram intake
    - Megan racing underdriven crank pulley
    - Redstar* Spec II custom exhaust

    Interior:
    - Stock cloth interior
    - TL steering wheel conversion
    - Shift boot conversion
    - Spoon style shift knob

    TO DO LIST:
    - OEM lip modified for the 01-02 bumper

              Looks great, and sounds pretty damn good too. I was expecting it to sound harsher. Welcome to the site!

                    Nope. I took an Apexi midpipe from a WS muffler system and bought some extra piping and flanges, along with a truck exhaust tip (2.5" inlet/4" out). So basically, no muffler with a 20" resonator. I wanted something that looked like the Buddy Club Spec 2 exhaust but on the Accord and that's what I came up with.

                        Woo I'm getting a lot of attention for my exhaust haha. Sweetness. I haven't been hassled by the police for it yet which is pretty odd; it's very loud. Hopefully I'll be able to update this thread with some pictures of test wheel fitment, as well as any new cosmetic mods I throw on.

                            Update: My friend called me about some Meister lips that he might be able to acquire for me. I really want some black Work Meisters in low offset. They look pretty damn nice. My friend is selling his but I want something a little more aggressive. Here's a picture of when I tried them on.



                            If they were pushed out a little more they'd be sick. I want to use the wheels I have on in the rears as fronts, and make the fronts a x9 +xx offset.

                            Here's a chop of how they'd look from the side.



                            These pictures are old too... I still had my old exhaust and my OEM rear spoiler, not to mention my old suspension.
