Car History
I originally had a 2007 Accord Coupe EX-L 4cyl/5AT and I got bored of it. So I saved up some money for down payment and after waiting for two years, I found a 2006 Accord Coupe EX-L V6 6MT within 50 miles and traded in my Accord at the end of 2011. After a year of owning, I got out of a 3 year relationship and finally started modding very quickly. At this point, I am slowly building up while paying my car notes. I have ~$7k left w/4 yr finance and I wanna pay it off early by the the end of this year before starting on my J36/37 engine build.

ahaha I was hoping noone would notice. I used to lurk but then I kinda fell out of modding the Accord because I had girlfriend/school to worry about. But now I have time and money

@Hecreated487, It'll be a while before I get to the J37 build because of the car notes but for now I'm gonna build what I have until it dies. I'll try to post pics tomorrow. Gotta get an alignment done. Car has a lot of negative camber in rear right tire.

[Silver Bullet]

Bump, just got my car back. I been having problems with my alignment and it turns out the j-power rear camber kit bushings went bad. I highly suggest everyone to stay away from these. I was told it was the exact same thing as the ingalls but cheaper. Apparently the rubber bushings are too soft. I only had these on for a month. And after I had an alignment one day, my car started wiggling like the wheels wanted to pop off or as it the lug nuts weren't tightened.

So I ordered a set of Ingalls rear camber kit and I just got them installed and aligned. Hopefully everything is good. I'll take pics tomorrow after I wash the car.

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience.  Sometimes you can save money and get a good deal on quality parts, but when you get cheap parts that say they are "the same as, but cheaper", it's usually because they cut corners and poorly copy the original design and use lower quality materials.  Glad to hear you decided to replace them with something a bit better.

[Silver Bullet]

Yeah...I'm not one to cheap out on my car either. I'll pay more for superior quality but at the same time I will be frugal too. I uploaded a picture but I can't seem to make it bigger. Photobucket has changed since I last used it ages ago..

[Silver Bullet]

Just got the sway bars installed today. I went with the TL-S 27.0mm solid front sway bar. It is NOT a direct bolt on. I had a spacer machined and now the fitment is perfect. No play whatsoever. The car handles very well! Smoked Inspire headlights will be installed tomorrow. Will update with pics! 

[Arielit0oo]

I'm jealous of the headlights . Where did you buy them from?

[Silver Bullet]

I bought them from another person who was selling his Accord. The lights are in good shape, according to the pics. I'd say a 9.5/10 and best of all 100% plug and play Just crossing my fingers and hoping the lights don't get damaged in shipping.

[Arielit0oo]

Oh sweet, good stuff man. What was the $damage?

[Silver Bullet]

He wanted $1200 shipped via paypal but me and several other members thought it was a bit high, considering most people have sold theirs for a lot less. $550-800 shipped. So given the condition and that the HID kit + wiring harness + misc parts come with it, I offered a price that was in between. So $950 shipped. He also threw in some 3000k foglight bulbs hehe.

[timot_one]

Who was selling their Inspires?  $1200 is a bit optimistic for them.  Was it the OEM HID's that came with them too?

[CrackerTeg]

I remember that guy. He kept shooting everyone down since he thought his lights were made with gold or some shit.

[timot_one]

You can get them new from BPT for $1050.  Not sure how the price goes up from being used.  Maybe he rubbed one out on them to make the difference in price?
