This is over ten years daily driven for me! I have put over 100k miles on it. Its longest journey: Fargo, ND to San Francisco, CA (with several places in between); 5400 miles in 12 days! It was semi-retired from its daily driving duties for the better part of the last year as I had a newer Civic, but I have since sold it and put my old Accord back into service.
Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:
Bone stock! Only a K&N air filter.
Suspension Modifications:
Bone stock!
Wheels/Tires Modifications:
Recently swapped a set of 15" alloys from a 1999 Accord coupe.
Interior/Exterior Modifications:
Aftermarket CD player.
Future Modifications:
The body is showing its age. It has typical Honda cancer around the rear dogleg/wheel arch areas. The clear coat is nearly gone on the roof and is coming off everywhere else. It is full of door dings.
When time and budget allows, I want to cut out the rusted areas, patch in replacement panels, smooth out the remaining body and paint. I would also love to either refinish the 15" wheels that are on it or put a new set on it to dress it up a bit. If I repaint the car, I would also like to tint the windows some.
