    haha yup!

    Well.. I just want to keep my corolla for what it is, a fuel efficient, dependable, and low maintenance daily driver. I'm more comfortable in my toyota, it's my chill whip lol.

    I got the civic because well it's an SI, it needs a lot of work but I have a lot of time and some decent income to allow me to do all that. It is my first actual project car and I'm going all out. It's quick as hell lol... 160hp to start with isn't bad.

    yeah 160 isent bad, especially on the accord which is 166, add in a decent intake, exhaust maybe get up to 175. Id like to see if i can get it up to 200 on a dyno without turbo with other modifications.

    Yeah you can do that, intake, exhaust, then do a Hondata reflash, that'll open it up like tits.

    Yeah thats what i heard. But i think the hondata ecu is expensive, and not much support for the 07 accord series.

    well its 2 coats of primer, when i get my next check i will most likely go to the shop and make my blue and finish off with clear coat...but all this after the side skirts are done...i like the primer, looks like a flat white

    when its all painted i will work on details like working on the front, installing fog lights n such

    Yes, I have pretty much the exact plans. I want to get at least 200hp naturally aspirated. Then maybe down the road I can show it a little boost.

    I have all of that in mind. But I may focus on the exterior first, this thing has mad dings and dents.

    Actually what I really need right now is an alarm haha.

    That was going to Hummer but yeah that's for all Hondas lol. If you keep it outside you have to get an alarm, or people will steal shit, put it on their cars just to get it jacked by someone else. One of the few reasons I don't really want a Honda. It's sad but true.

    I swapped to my winter rims and decided to try something different with the lips. Opinions?
    I dont really care how it looks b/c these rims are going to get all salty and nasty from the snow salt.
    In other news, the f*ckers that tried to steal my red rims ended up screwing up a stud and snapped it.

    yeah that's why I went with the Tein S-tech.... the lowest drop with quality springs.

    I see the broken stud, you gonna get it fixed soon I hope? For some reason, it looks like those wheels always looked like that lol. But they'd be better in red IMO but like you said, you don't care.

    Look at the first page of my thread, I broke two of those within like 20 minutes of each other. But when did they try to steal your rims? You posted that like you've mentioned it before. Unless it's in a new thread I haven't gotten to yet. Are you gonna change the stud by yourself? Pretty easy, I did that way before I even changed my own oil. And hummer remember he put a shift "boot" on there with a new shifter to make it look like a manual. lol looks good though, but the button on the top gives it away. And I like the blue, I'd either to the same paint on the grill, or go black on the grill. I don't know if that drop is as low as it appears, those look like giant rims lol what size are those? And the shyguy kit adds like 6 inches to the drop. Definitely like the car though roach.

    Every time I see your car Roach I feel like it's missing something that gives it that "damn nice car" effect.
    It's super clean though pretty much all blacked out. I still don't like the skirts or rear on that lip :|
    Looks low though :)

    i could try that. i might buy another piece of the trim and switch between the red/blue for the summer/winter
    they tried to steal them over the summer. I just re-tightened the ones they loosened. but when it came time to loosen one of the locks it refused to come all the way off and it ended up snapping right off. that rims feels "loose" now. my neighbor and I are going to work on it but yeah, it looks very easy to do...even with the button most ppl think its a stick....they are 16s, they look monstrous compared to the Konigs. and these have no lip on them like the red Konigs do so they look even bigger
    lol thanks, what is it missing though?! I need to know!

    The front stud is hard to replace, the rears are real easy.

    Mine were the front ones, it wasn't too hard. Maybe because they only had 64K miles on them? Maybe they getreally worked in there with the miles. If that's the case, yours should slide right out since your car has like 28K miles lol. But wait the black/silver rims are 16s? they look like 17s or 18s lol. But I'd say lose the blocky lip, get TRD sideskirts and rear valences. That would be awesome. I think it's the chunky lip kit that is the "problem".
