Title: [Profile UPDATE] MITCHigan
Post by: mitchigan on March 06, 2009, 08:47:45 AM
Real Name: Mitchell Lee
Ride: 2004 Honda Accord EXL Sedan
Color: Taffeta White
Engine: J30A4 stock (bleeds ONLY M1 5W-20)
Tranny: automatic five speed stock w/2nd gear oil jet recall done
Status: Married with children
Location: Lansing, Michigan
Occupation: student/co-op engineer
Interests: my fam, technology/computers, automotive r&d, soccer, basketball, music
Organizations: FormulaSAE, ASME
Awards: I don't compete my car
Mods Installed (as of 03/06/09): 18x7 +45ET Carbon Bronze HFP's on General Tire Exclaim UHP 215/45, 35% tint, debadged, Honda all-season mats and trunk tray, paint-matched splash guards, USA Spec Ipod interface, LED conversion, infant carseats (LoL)
Mods Waiting for Installation: 17mm TL rear antiroll, 6MT front tower strut (all parts have arrived just waiting for the pot holes to fill and warmer weather)
Future Mods and Plans: HID retro, coilovers, HFP sedan front lip, garmin or tomtom navi (anniv. gift), rear bumper exhaust port mod to accommodate straight exhaust tips i.e. like the Inspire
Car History: I am the third owner bought on Aug. 28, 2008. The previous owner hit a deer on the front right and the autobody shop did a horrible job: hood, fender, and bumper does not line up nor do they look smooth (you can't tell if you're not looking for it but it annoys me). The second owner or dealer who he traded the car to also did a shitty job trying to touch up the paint nicks: the paint doesn't match and it was sloppy like they used a two inch brush to paint a nick a few mm's in diameter. There are also nicks where rust is appearing. I will try to get all these things fixed by summer. The first owner leased it and seemed like he/she kept it clean. My Accord has about 72K miles of driving as of 03/06/09. I plan to keep the car for a LONGGG time, it is also my DD.
