I'm actually looking forward to dropping my shit this summer Joel, as for the roof spoiler, I came home one day this past winter on a snow storm we had here and found it resting on my front windshield, apparently it had fallen off or someone took it off and placed it there so when I came home I would see it, now it's sitting in the basement in my friends house collecting dust.
I saw another one on ebay that I want so I'll see what I'm going to do with this one, anyway thanks for the comment.

Glad you could make it to the elite. I had your ride as my desktop for a while. Where'd you get your lip kit?

LOL..seriously? That's dope. I pieced together the kit actually, I've tried to find a replacement lip and I haven't been successful. Plus the front lip needed too many mods to recommend to anyone. I bought the lips off a guy in washington, and the sides from VIS that took 6 months and 8 visits for them to get it right. :(

Post by: sherker55 on February 16, 2010, 07:14:26 PM
SO you upgraded your suspension, but it isn't going to lower it at all?  are your current shocks and coils worn out?  will they be a better ride than stock?


Title: Re: [profile] JDMJNKY..... joins the banwagon. added some pics
Post by: slipkord on February 16, 2010, 07:17:43 PM
He's running Tein s-techs stock shocks so those coils are def an upgrade

Post by: wtcii on February 16, 2010, 07:18:28 PM
Since he is on S Techs and stock struts, I would be willing to bet they are worn out. Even if they arent, it will be a nice upgrade.

whats the point of coilovers if you don't want to go low, i would have saves $$$ and got another set of springs. but back to topic, your ride is HOTT, what you got on the inside?

Nothing rides better than stock LOL except HFP- Maybe! There is and always will be a give and take w/ upgrades. To single out slamming as the sole alternative option for coilovers does not mean they shouldnt be bought. I wanted something simple for her, sportier than a shock and spring combo, a unibody assembly made more sense. Screw the hype setups. We'll experiment since we know have a friend for coilovers ;)

Yes sir correct! ;)

They are growing weary, but still have life, drove around today and I knew it wasn't the same as day one. +60k later LOL

That's what makes you you! and us us! No better choice one than the other, just preference. The point was to improve where a stock shock & spring fell short. Just because we aren't slammed doesn't mean we do not like to be lower. If you think a spring and shock time after time, every 60k or so is best than buying a coilover then I don't know what to tell you. As for the inside stock as ever, nothing major now, future maybe. FUTURE.

so I sold the tein springs & decided to at least install the rear F2's. Not ready to drop it yet until the fenders are rolled & the car comes outta paint. Here's some flicks for now
OTS F2 & Tein w/ stock shock
(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/JDMJNKY/1267475094.jpg)

Tein w/ stock shock - 1-2 finger gap
(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/JDMJNKY/1267475136.jpg)

F2 extended to over all 22.6'' vs 26.4'' stock
(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/JDMJNKY/1267475104.jpg)

aftermath - needs a fender roll before paint

Are you going to Eibach? My friend offered me a VIP spot, but I don't think I'm even going to bother..

Car is looking good though..  That's quite some time between updates..  Are they working on it during spare time or something?

I am hopefully going to eibach. I actually have in between photos, but they were so fuzzy I didn't post.  I haven't had time to keep going back & forth to the shop, I'm in no rush. I told them take there sweet time, I would like it clean, I'd hate to have to return. When I get picky it's not pretty! Ask your friend if he want's to sell his vip spot. I'd like to buy it. I did not purchase a VIP spot before they were sold out. :(

Thanks for stopping by and showing some love!

oh, i didn't mean your updates.  i meant that it looks like that wasn't two weeks worth of progress for two weeks between updates..  looks like they are taking care of you though..

(oh, and i know what you mean by being picky.. :) )

I'll ask if he wants to sell his spot :)

I didn't notice until you pointed it out.  I did notice that they didn't color match your roof spoiler though.

boo.. i wouldn't accept it if they only painted the topside..  either way, they'll have to respray it, whether it be now or in 2 months..

i also don't trust paint shop detailers..

So thanks to Josh on V6P, we now have fancy HIDs for our inspire lights, a complete plug n play system for turn signals. Using the Infiniti m45 ballast, ignitor etc etc with conversion harness, & 8k d2s bulbs - there's more but I forget :)

Considering you cannot add heat shrink after the fact..  (unless of course you desolder it).. so someone was cheap, lazy, or both when making that harness..

I didn't know de-soldering was rocket science. Haha plus it will be filled w/ Dielectric Silicone Compound and loomed keeping the oem look. I can do the sleeve myself. Although I thought it would be better, we did not outline what additional was/not to be done. So I'm STILL HAPPY EITHER WAY! Cool guy, Love my lights end story.


So I wasn't receiving any email updates and began to worry hoping this part would not make it in time to fit for Ibak along w/ all the other things to do. The tracking info. had not updated in over a month. So I decided to give it another shot. Looks like I may be in luck.

...so yesterday was an upper, the new grill arrived. Came home to test fit, and OH BOY, it quickly became a downer. I must have mis-read the description, No matter how much I wish to attend I*Bak, I'm just not willing to half ass it. So disappointed today. *cry*

The good news is, I have faith, that somehow, w/ hard-work and patients I'll be able to pull a rabbit out this new era. *nervous*

since I lack parts to complete the task in time for Sundays' event, I decided to try something fresh for me. Polishing the calipers. W/ all the effort I put into this one, I've decided heck, let the pros do it. LOL

Post by: JDMJNKY on May 13, 2010, 12:00:53 AM
It sure does, started yesterday around 3pm worked til dinner 6-ish. After dinner I did some T & A in the garage perfecting the shine on the bracket. I went back outside 8am/9am finished up around 11:30. So it takes time and insane amount of elbow grease. It should take about 4-6hrs for the next side, I hope.

I'll be honest, I'd have to see a full shot of the car with them before I can give an opinion.  The wheels are super clean, but I need a better idea of how they look on the Accord.  What's the size?

I'll be honest, I'd have to see a full shot of the car with them before I can give an opinion.  The wheels are super clean, but I need a better idea of how they look on the Accord.  What's the size?

They are 18's. Not sure I'm willing to go the full route of getting them mount & balanced, since they are up for sale as mentioned to lavell.  I'll have to settle for your review as is. I'd hate to diminish advertisement, and in the same token wife is not 100% happy w/ them and chances are she's probably right.

To be honest they would look awesome on a white or black Civic SI maybe an S2K I think that painted wheels look the best on smaller cars. These are imported Desmond Pramada's right? I owned a set of rega masters at one time in my life.

Correct. I'd have to agree, for these rims to look good on our car/a sedan it would need more spokes. I think they are better suited for the vehicles you have stated. Appreciate the time Mike.

Latest update...nothing fancy. I had to get mama's intake pipe fixed. I think it's time for a new coating-filter - pre-filter or bypass valve. The pre-filter is just water repellent not water proof, so I may go w/ the bypass valve.

life, & bills etc have prolonged this debut of our accord, however disappointing it may be. 1st off it's nothing huge - because we don't have rims to "status", second I may have to find a new lip kit, or front lip if the 05 Mugen rep doesn't work out. On top of that if I get it to work, our car sits toooooooo low to even make it in our driveway ( drive way example ___/ ) and that means I'll have to buy some new coilovers before I put the kit back on, so it may just return to stock for now.  We are just happy we will be able to drive it again. The dumb part about it is, the car drives LOL but we just don't drive it. Just tooo picky, I don't like seeing a full painted car w/ a black bumper, or fully kitted up on stock rims so shame on me, and stupid me for causing myself hardship - win some, loose some. :(

....and I want to thank Ion/Jon because w/ out him these teasers would not be possible, so afford-ably!

well guys haven't been on much lately because the wedding is this SATURDAY! I've been doing a lot of little this to the Accord to have it ready. Wife wants it for her wedding day. Since the headlights were installed I bought replacement hood shocks, and yesterday a fog light harness kit.

(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/JDMJNKY/mamas%20rides/1284520975.jpg)

W/ this fog kit I had to do a ton of work, especially since I wanted to wire up a HID kit on the switch. I was helped by another v6p member and I will cut & paste what I did here.

The Diagram I was instructed to use

Quote from: nickkxo
FOGLIGHT HARNESS
Ok so on your foglight harness there should be 4 wires; Red, Blue, Green, and Black

Red: Should be the ones that run to your foglights(if you take off the black loom, you'll see this)

Blue: This wire is the one that powers your foglights, I cut off the end of that wire and attached one of these:

[url]http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m117/itzbradx/Crimpterminal1.jpg[/url]

And then I connected that to the positive on the battery...This is how "coolblue07" told me I could do it...you can do my method or tap into the fuse box

Green: I drilled a hole right into the firewall, right where the gas pedal is, extend this wire and ran it into the the hole so I can splice it to the other green wire on the Switch Harness...also I used sealant to seal the wire to the hole

Black: This is the ground wire, connect it according to the HandAaccessorie Instruction...which is connecting it to the hood latch.


SWITCH HARNESS

Your switch harness should have 5 wires; Red w/ black stripe, Green, Red, Red w/ black stripe, and Black...in that order

The 2 Red wires w/ black stripes should be connected together(again if you take off the wire cover you'll see this)

Green: Will be connected to the other green wire that ran thru the firewall

The Third wire...which is the plain red wire is not used just leave it alone i guess

Black: This is the ground and I connected it to the ground from my sunroof switch

Sooooooooooooo.... after conversating w/ Nick for a short while on AIM, I was able to accomplish my switch install. Nick is a helpful man of great patience. LOL! Thanks Nick. I also Had to watch a few youtubes in between. My Accord knowledge is not extensive. :(

I chose to use the cig lighter for my 12v ( as well, thanks Nick ). These helped me to get there - For us auto guys, "not an ashtray" has to be pried up using a small screw driver, like mini small. Then I used My plastic pry tools to free up the console.

I spent alot of time prepping my course of action, extending wires, soldering, modifying etc etc.... not all necessary but I chose to.

5 Wire Green Switch - Colors in order ( I do not know why it mattered but it works, so therefore it does )
- Black
- Red/Black ( de-pin from connector )
- Red
- Green
- Red/Black ( splice removed R/B into this R/B )

(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/JDMJNKY/mamas%20rides/th_1284436673.jpg) (http://s162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/JDMJNKY/mamas%20rides/?action=view&current=1284436673.jpg)(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/JDMJNKY/mamas%20rides/th_1284436674.jpg) (http://s162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/JDMJNKY/mamas%20rides/?action=view&current=1284436674.jpg)

After you de-pin the connector it should look like

(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/JDMJNKY/mamas%20rides/th_1284451488.jpg) (http://s162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/JDMJNKY/mamas%20rides/?action=view&current=1284451488.jpg)


* If your harness is like mine - The red/blk farthest from the black is spliced into the R/B you de-pinned first. I just cut it off and re-pinned it where the 2nd R/B was. *


(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/JDMJNKY/mamas%20rides/th_1284451490-1.jpg) (http://s162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/JDMJNKY/mamas%20rides/?action=view&current=1284451490-1.jpg)

I used some extra pins I had, to make a male female connector for my in car harness. Why? JIC I ever need to R&R any component. I will do the same for my green wire that is to be connected later to fog harness.

(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/JDMJNKY/mamas%20rides/th_1284451493.jpg) (http://s162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/JDMJNKY/mamas%20rides/?action=view&current=1284451493.jpg)

(9/13/2010).................until tomorrow  that's all I got documented. GNYT!


Here's the switch after you have repinned it as mentioned earlier.

Now it's a 4 - wire
- Black
- Red ( solid )
- Green
- Red / Black

(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/JDMJNKY/mamas%20rides/th_1284496064.jpg) (http://s162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/JDMJNKY/mamas%20rides/?action=view&current=1284496064.jpg)(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/JDMJNKY/mamas%20rides/th_1284496065.jpg) (http://s162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/JDMJNKY/mamas%20rides/?action=view&current=1284496065.jpg)

So I got all down and dirty for a short spell today, finishing up just the fogs harness and testing it. nothing hardwired yet besides the ground @ sunroof, batt +  w/ butt connector and the 12V+ into accessory outlet.

( routing 12v )

then I decided to loom it and re-route it, along oem lines - hardly noticeable too :)

For the Green wire I extended it through the a/c heater blower line hole. I pulled the rubber grommet w/ needle nose pliers, and fed the extended green through it and past the firewall inside the cabin.

* Now I need to figure out how to make my HID kit work w/ my fogs. It has 3 connectors, and Especially since it's not H11. I will de-pin that harness as well for testing.

HID

Fog ( x2 connectors on pic'd )

Back w/ good news....HID Fogs are a go! Time to button up the project and complete install of HID kit, fogs and bumper won't be installed til thur/fri. The tough part is over

so I took this loose connector ( your kit may vary, this one I had laying around ) of my HID kit & plugged in my de-pinned fog light connector for testing. ( USE THE CONNECTOR ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE when wiring permanently or only one side will illuminate. )

BIG THANKS TO NICK! :bang:  :bang:  :bang:  :bang:  :bang:


Yes sir, switch works buy doesn't fit my console, going to see if Honda has one tomorrow, if not I will return this switch. My fogs are H11. My hid plug to the fog harness was not. So it's H11-ish now haha. Actually, my old h11 harness plugs right in so I just pinned it to the new harness, and I tested it all already. I'll post pics in about 5min.
