Well, I've had my car for about 1.5 years and I figured it was time to really "fix-it-up" now.

So I started with suspension, then exterior, then interior, and will get to the engine swap at the end of this year.

Here you guys go, let me know what you think. And please keep it constructive criticism if any at all. Thanks.

Let me know if this works for you...

I'm waiting for next semester for engine building class. The motor won't probably go in until next summer. I will build the block for turbo, H22a that is.

Nice ride, rims and a drop would make it better. However I dont like the seats and all that crap in blue, it just doesnt sit well with me. I also like the LED conversion on the dash lights, what kinda LED's did you use?

yeah SiR accords have recaro seats not blue ones, but the car looks alright, if you want REAL looking SiR go back to stock taillights and take the amber out of the turn signals, get some black rims (16") probalby slipstreams, drop the car and put alot of zip ties on it...then your car will be a real jdm SiR, actually you gotta put an F20b in there or the H23 vtec, the H22 was in just the regular accords right? or the type r or something but the SiR has a diffrent motor, but good luck with that

I'm pretty sure all the accord from Japan have H22 but I'm not sure.


Also Recaro's are only on the 6th gens I think. From what I've heard the 5th gen seats are pretty much like our U.S. Market seats.

Although you may not like the seats, the original recaro's came only in the SirT. The one's in my car currently are S2000 seats with custom rear upholstery to match. I wasn't going for genuine SIR, just the engine, that would make it an SIR. Blue led's, were installed by none other than me. You can order them from ledautomotive.com

Car is lowered, just not to the point where it makes my daily drive crap. My suspension is probably better than most since it is Koni's. As for wheels, I have Integra Type-R's which I have no tires for yet, so I'll post more pictures as soon I get them wrapped.

Nice didnt know that the Type-R Rims Fit the Accord. I like the seats themselves but they would fit in better if they matched, I'd get them redone in black if it were me. Are you useing just shocks? What kinda springs?

you guys are trippin, i did that conversion over 6 months ago. i used 194/168 inverted for the gauges, an led circuitboard for the climate control, 74 for the top gauge lights, lighter and climate knobs, and liltroy helped me wire in the rest for cruise control, sunroof, rear defrost, and dimmer switch. check out ledautomotive.com for more info.

Thanks Chris
no problem; i need to make a guide for that. use this guys ebay store, hes cheap as fuk. http://stores.ebay.com/warden-jp2002

only thing is, they come from hong kong and he uses regular mail (thats why its so cheap) and takes a couple weeks or so to get to you. but, if you can wait, youll save a pantload of money. the only thing i bought from ledautomotive is the climate control circuitboard, which is pretty much impossible to do on your own without it.

The Type-R's I have are 4x114.3 and come from Integra 95-97?, right before the 5-lug. I sprayed them gunmetal just because white looks like crap on my car.

If I really wanted black seats, I would've gotten them black to begin with. It's just I've never had a two-toned car before so I may as well try it out. And I like it.

...But I'll never do it again.

Also, I have custom ground control coilovers to match the koni yellows. They handle soooooo much better than my old Omnipowers IMO.

Are you the same person I talked to awhile ago about the Omnis? Everything you said about them sounds familiar. I sold mine too earlier this year, I miss them so much. Their the toughest suspension set-up I had since I started modding. I was thinking about getting them again, but I wanna try the Tanabe Sustec S-OC type 2 next. Only $638 on

haha. Im gonna lower it somemore when my tenants move out at the end of the month. Possibly next month when I get my coilovers. The Tanabe sounds like a passable coilovers vs the vehicle inspection just in case I have to go thru that again. You should get those too. It would be sick sick sick!!!!:inlove:

I'm usually driving around Daly City or San Francisco. You may see usually in Sunset or Richmond. As for a crew... I there's about 5 of us right now with Accord of almost all years, a 1992 Coupe H22A- 2004 LX. Apparently the older our cars get, the better they are in handling & performance, lol. Hit me up and we can meet sometime. But I just f$#$ my car recently due to lack of sleep and alcohol.

PS my grill is authentic, and the steering wheel is on!!!
