Accord of the Week Award - April 1999





This is where it all started. I first got the performance bug with my Accord. I also started my very first web page about this car. Unfortunately this car was stolen, stripped, and brutally vandalized) back in August 1997. If you're new to import racing or are interested in sport compact cars please take the time to read my Accord journal to see what you are really getting into!

There are a few questions about this car I get asked all the time so I'll answer them right here so you don't have to ask!

  • Do I have any parts left over that I want to sell? No
  • Where did you get that wing and how much was it? I ordered it from "Performance Techniques", a mail order place. You can get the same wing from Wings West also. It's called called a "Mid wing" and it runs about $350 unpainted. Expect to pay another $100 to have someone paint it to match your car.
  • How did you lower your car? The front had Bec-Tech shortened adjustable struts ($300/pair) with Eibach Sportlines and about 2 coils cut off them. The rear was lowered with a custom airbag setup that I fabricated myself. If you wanted to do the same setup in the rear, it would take about $500-600 in parts and you'd need to use your imagination to fabricate the brackets to make it work. Unfortunately I gave my insurance all the pictures I had of this setup (before I scanned them!) when the car was stolen. Someday I'll look for the negatives and get duplicates and post them.
