Remove one spell.......it will be 64F, cloudy, and light rain.

The picture worked well.

still learning how to use HAF so just noticed photo gallery and cracked it open. My Accord looks nothing like yours and I'm not just talking about the fact that yours is bright and shiny while mine is muddy and scruffy ALWAYS. They dont seem to be the same car. The first post I put up was asking about differences and now I see it. Mine is much lower on the bonnet line and much higher on the boot - its just a different car. I would like to do shots of it today but weather is grim - rain,fog, the usual. Photo from my window was taken last November. Going to try to get car posted quickly as I would like collective opinion on "What am I driving ?"
I know engine is F20ZE and it is UK built.

The Accords here are built specifically for the US market. The current modelAccord in the UK is known as an Acura TSX here.The TSX (to us) isthe Accord that the rest of the world sees.

Different engines are offered in different countries as well so it can be one big confusing mess.

Will you take a picture of the engine too? I am interested to see what the F20Z looks like.

That's a heck of a view there. Is that a golf course I see?

While we are on the topic of alcohol, anybody try absinthe? It's legal now in california, any good?
I want to try it so bad. We don't yet get the real stuff in Mississippi. I saw some at the liquor store, but before I spend $35 on it I looked it up on the internet and it's not the real thing (not aged in wormwood barrels - what gives it its supposed hallucinogenic powers.) They need to hurry up and get it here. Maybe I'll see if I can order some on the internet.
If I lived in California, I would have tried it already!

Agreed .... nice view

Valdeez: The picture was online. It's not my bam wear; probably a real life bum!!! .... but you'd have to be pretty dumb to try that stuff straight! Note to self: Anything that can clean an engine really quickly will burn if you drink it!!!

I'd bet that F20 would be a heck of a platform to turbo! It probably has little stubby connecting rods that can take 4 times the engine's native power.


For an update on me, I can drive a manual today! So Jon ...... about that race [sm=badbadbad.gif]

Is the Cali stuff the real thing? You can order it online internationally for about $80-120. My cousin brought a bottle back from Amsterdam. It's really strong .... like 160 proof and you go through buzzed, drunk, comming down, hung over and better in like 4 hours from 1 3-shot cocktail. It taste like black liquorice, which I'm not too fond of. I didn't get the halucinations, but I think 2 or 3 of those cocktails would do it!!!

Hey academic, I remember a while back another guy from the UK was astounded that anyone in the U.S with a regular driver's license can drive a manual trans car with no special type of license. He said over there you have to have a specific license to drive a manual trans car.

Congrats! You will have fun. Good luck in all that traffic though. Your left leg may get sore at first. Sometimes I worry my left leg will get bigger and stronger than my right one!
