Car History: I found it at a local used car dealership one year ago. My parents loved the idea of a honda so they went straight for it. It's my first car and I love it. Its the car i learned to drive stick with and the car my friends envy. Back in December, one of my best friends rear ended me.. Causing $3,000 of damage, but thats all fixed now thankfully. I would like to upgrade my car, but i dont have the funds to do too much unfortunately.

Another 666 sedan. Not bad. Welcome to the elite. You've been here since March and now you decided to make a profile?! J/K man.

Welcome to ECM man! NIce ride!!

Welcome!

You have the best US Accord. Congrats.
Where in MA are you? I'll be moving back to Plymouth soon.

thanks guys! i live about 10 minutes from Framingham.

Everyone is up around Boston or farther west! I guess even when I'm up there, I'll be the only one in the south shore.

Welcome

Welcome..

Welcome.. and enjoy and hope you can make it to the Local meet next month

Welcome to the Elite Mike.

I hope you know and understand what type of vehicle you have in your posession.

You have one of the few and rare 6 speed sedans. Enjoy it :-D

See you at some meets.

haha thanks! I am enjoying it very much! Hope to see some of your guys at the next meet. ill be at the Hopkinton one since i live close by.

Hey guys,
I Haven't really posted on this at all but wanted to show you guys what I've done to the car. Last summer I got my first exhaust and I love it! I also just plasti dipped my wheels black to have a different look. I really like it and like that it can be removed. Tell me what you think + what you think my car needs to look better!

Your in Mass?! Hello neighbor! :D. I love black!

The exhaust looks good.. more pics, please!

I actually prefer the wheels silver..

Plus one on silver wheels.  The exhaust looks good.  Lower it!  ;)

I have the same wheels and wanted to paint them black until I saw Z's wheels.  I like the silver myself.  Z butchered Arie's old wheels.

I did and I don't care. They were mine to butcher. Suck it Nelson.

Just saying. Lol

I just made them black just to see what it would look like. Will probably turn back to silver soon. On lowering. I know I can probably find this somewhere but I thought I might as well ask. Can you add lowering springs on stock struts and have everything be okay?

You can just use lowering springs, but the life of your shocks will be reduced.  It's also a good idea to get a camber kit in the rear if you don't want to replace tires often.

What did you get for your exhaust set up?  Where did you have it done?  Hopefully not Lou's.

I just got the magnaflow cat back that fits the v6 sedan. Got a pretty good deal on ebay and I just had it installed at a local mechanic that my dad and I often use and like. I really like it a lot. Thanks for the info on the suspension! I think that will most likely be my next upgrade.

Hey Guys I have a quick question. Thought I might as well ask it under my profile page to avoid clutter on other topics.. I've just bought new wheels and tires. 18x8 on 215/40/18s with an offset of 30. I really want to lower soon and am thinking of getting the Koni Super Cup kit. I've searched around and it looks like it's a pretty good combo. Anyone have any experience with it? Also, I asked on V6P but want to get a second opinion from this site. The wheels I bought don't fit as well as I would like them too. They protrude beyond the fender. I was told they would tuck in the fender once I lowered. Can anyone confirm this?

This was just a test fit and I grabbed the closest two tires to see how it looked. So the tread is backwards in the picture.
 

The supercup kit is a good deal for what you're paying for.  I've ridden in a few cars with them and I'd get them if I didn't already have coilovers. 

As far as your wheels, they won't really "tuck" any more when you lower your car.  I'd be careful.  If you go too low, you're going to rub.  Get an adjustable camber kit for the front and you can get them to tuck when you go low.

Don't think I asked this before, but where in Mass are you?

Thanks for your advice, Tim. I may need to consider selling them and getting something else then. And Nit3h4wk, I'm from around Framingham but out to school in Amherst for most of the time. What about yourself?

Right over the border in New Hamster :)

They aren't going to tuck without some negative camber.  

Lots of females around Amherst. Good choice of where to go to school.

Yeah It's been a pretty good few semesters I'll say that for sure.

I had an ex that went to mount Holyoke in South Hadley....loved going to visit her.

It's a nice bonus feature with two all girls schools very close. Not excluding the fact that there are plenty of females at umass it self.. Anyway, have you heard of the UMass Car Show? Since you live somewhat close, I would think maybe you have. I believe it is April 20th this year. Always a great turn out. I'll probably post something more about it as the date gets closer.

Nope. Never heard of it but interested.

I've been to the UMass car show before.  It was like 3 or 4 years ago though.

Just installed the Neuspeed Supercup, retro headlights, and A-Spec wheels. I really like my new look  :) what do you guys think?

New look is muy bueno. :thumbsup:

Better.
