Default just picked up a new to me (but kinda old) accord wagon

got it from a buddy i work with, it has 17" work emotions wrapped in some 215/45R-17 falken ziex 912's, its sitting on a fully adjustable (but brand unknown to me right now) suspension that sits too low for my liking, it has an H22A4 swapped into it that needs some work, and for some reason, the stock accord auto trans was bolted up to it......? it has a cert-a-fit front bumper with what i was told was stock accord fog lights at the bottom, amber "painted" turn signals above that, and then the headlights were replaced with ultra whites, and the high beams were modded too, but i dunt know what to say about them......think i'll just post a pic, and ask for some knowledge about it all.......yeah......it has swa bars front and rear, and inside the only thing changed was the deck, it has an explode deck (i know nuthing about xplode products) but still has the stock honda speakers.......?? yep, it needs a little work, an oil change, some new plugs, and oh, yah, i think the header gasket is bad, but yah, it has megan headers, but only an axle back exhaust.......??? so, looking for some insight on this, never been too big on the civics (my friend had an 05 ex, it was fun but not what i was looking for) or a del sol fan, or a crx fan, but always liked the accords and preludes.

My car needs some other minor work, but im happy with it

A little about me, im 24, work for discount tire, have worked there for a little over three years (though not consecutively) have a 2 year old daughter, and this is the fiorst honda i have owned. but its the one one i've been searching for.

Unfortunately no I dunt have any more pics yet, I just took delivery of the car Friday, and spent my free time Saturday after work cleaning it, lol, and my day today with my daughter, but I will take and post some hopefully tomorrow. And thank you I think its nice, but does need some work, it runs rich so there is a black soot mark on the rear bumper just above the exhaust......grrr......but I'm hopeing its nuthing too serious. And that's cool, I didn't know DT was one of your sponsors. I'm looking forward to owning this wagon for years to come, and being part of this forum to both receive and lend advice.

Ive talked to one or two folks who have those plugs and I don't remember anyone commenting on them being any thing special...I guess I will see if there are any write ups on them by doing a forum search in here...

The e3 sparkplugs are great for use while tuning your car... They have a great warranty and can be switched out if fouled at your local auto parts stores... Although ngk is my prefered brand in imports... Just my .02...
