    Default My new DD: 1994 Honda Accord with JDM H22 Swap

    BIG Thanks to many friends of mine:

    Vuong, Krappy and VG Crew at Vuong's Garage
    Dinh at Nissan
    and my special paint artist, you know who you are.


    They've helped me transforming the car from completely non-drivable to fully functioning,passing emission legally, and running very storng. If budget permits, I'll get the exhaust reworked and the car tuned.

    Just an FYI of the history, I bought the car in Early 2005. It was non drivable. Swap was done by Mahdavi but wasn't idle right. The interior was in pieces, no audio, no speakers. The engine bay was a complete mess and "BLACKENED", etc.


    Enough with the rambling, here's a quick mod list.


    1994 Honda Accord LX Sedan

    Engine:
    JDM H22a Swap
    3" Short Ram Intake + AMSoil Eaau 3050 Filter (To be installed later)
    Kamikaze 4-1 Header, Jet coated
    2.5" 200 Cells spun body Metallic HFC
    2.5" Custom Mandrel Bent Exhaust
    OBX Twinloop muffler


    Handling:
    Tokico RAK501 Full coilover system - height and damping adjustability
    SPC Front Upper Ball Joint Camber Kit
    SPC Rear Camber Kit
    Suspension Technique Rear Antisway bar
    Neuspeed Front Polished Upper Strut Bar (not installed yet)


    Wheels:
    18" Racing Hart M6 - Gunmetal - for summer
    17" Konig GT-R for winter
    2 spare Motegi 18" (as see in rear wheels)


    Audio:
    Eclipse CD5442 CD Player with Aux input
    Elemental Designs 6000 component system
    Polk Audio 12" Subs in sealed Box (I have the box, just haven't give it to V yet)
    5 Channel Amp
    Zune FTW :bigear:


    Exterior:
    Mugen Urethane front lip (NEW)
    Painted OEM sides and rear
    Painted OEM Splash Guards
    522 Bright White + Baby Blue Pearl Custom Paint


    I snapped couple quick pics yesterday right before the ATL G&Z meet. She's drying from the snow storm.

    Don't mind the dirty and mismatch wheels, I have the full set of the Konig GT-R (Front wheels) for winter and a set of 18" Racing Hart M6 for the summer that I'll be cleaning them, and putting on when I clean her up good this weekend.


    Went from this:





    To this:





















    Things that I still need to get done:

    1. Clean the Konig GT-R Wheels and may be paint them - They will go to Bucky if I do.
    2. Flush the brake system and replace with ATE Super Blue DOT4 fluid
    3. Install Rear Spoiler
    4. Install Honda Emblem - Anyone got the Trunk emblem??
    5. Install Driver and Passenger Interior door handles.
    6. Install bump stops on my front coilovers.


    Anyone care to help me this weekend (Saturday)? I'll buy you lunch. I can't do all that in 1 day.

    it's my DD, so I couldn't careless. The Konigs once cleaned up will look pretty good, especially for winter wheels.

    I'll slap these on in the summer

    Racing Hart M6 off my old Accord I had a long time ago. Rare wheels, simple, strong, and nice.

    This one, but in gunmetal

    Thanks guys, I think 2.5 sets of wheels are good enough for me. After all, it's just my DD.

    No point in spending more for the DD while I can focus on my other 2 big projects

    Oh no, the swap was done previously by the previous owner. They just helped me clean up the technical and mechanical issues and did the complete maintenance on the car as well as doing the interior and audio work.

    It doesn't look that bad in real life though. Thanks for the rep. After all, it's just a DD. As long as it's clean, I'm happy
