Still didn't answer my question... what else do you have for the car waiting... more importantly whats the suspension setup?

I'm doing a photoshoot of the whip tonight... $0.75 self-serve car wash FTW.

I let good ol mother nature clean my car, I figure a good coat of dirt and stock rims is the best car alarm here in Miami.

Yep! I rarely wash my car, but now that it's winter and I plan on beating at least 60k out of this car I want to at least spray the salt off.

Only someone with a trained eye could tell that my car is modified in any way... no aftermarket gauges or interior junk, it looks pretty much stock. I hate having to park on the street... in the same exact spot my other car was broken into, but that had ricer lights so it was a dead give away.

What else? That's not enough? I found the stock headlights from the accord, so they're for sale when I get around to it. Suspension I'm pretty sure will be something along the lines of a KW Variant 2 coilover possibly with KMAC camber/caster plates. Right now I have an Ingalls rear K-brace, TRD black chrome strut bar, Hotchkis anti-sway bars and Toyo Proxy4's. Oh yeah, almost forgot about the polyurethane bushings and mounts and the custom mounted ETD.

Potential Stage 2 build could include toys like a PTuning 2AZ block with a Dezod head with black nitride +1mm valves ....... maybe a turbo stage 2 camshaft set from Brian Crower. I'm pretty sure that I'll rebuild the tranny to include a Quaife LSD, fix the messed up synchros, lighten the flywheel and upgrade the clutch ...... most likely a Fidanza wheel and a Clutchmasters clutch.



....... and I've already tried to tint it, but the guy never showed up to work. I might leave it untinted so it looks stock. Right now, it looks completely stock. I plan to make the gauges fit under the radio and be able to close the radio door. AFAIK, nobody has been sucessful at this. Luckily I have a master machinist as one of my best friends and can modify the metal radio mounts as needed.


Obviously, if I get the PTuning block, I'm going to need a new manifold turbo DP and wastegate ..... Garrett GT3076R-BB. And a 3" e-cutout.

I'll probably have the exhaust custom built since the pre-mades are way too expensive ..... 2.5" most likely, 70 mm if I can.
