Here's some quick cell phone pics I took this morning: My Clarion head unit. I said Pioneer earlier, but meant Clarion :D One of my 18's are on the back as a spare

My factory wheel went flat because of camber wear, so I put one of my 18's on as a spare. I'm looking for a nice 18" tire that has a decent sidewall. Right now they have 215/35r18's on them, I was thinking of getting a 45 or 50 series tire for them.

About 6 months ago I had a chance to pick up a '96 Accord wagon owned by a little old lady (really) and taken in by my mechanic rather than have the 1 and only owner trade it. That one had less than 100k miles on it.

Yeah, I bitch about the "what ifs" , but when they drop in my lap I let them pass by. i console myself with the knowledge that that '96 wagon had some kind of coolant leak that my mechanic never could seem to pin down.

Jimbob: Thanks Integaguy: That sucks! I blew the radiator in mine Saturday and almost over heated it. She almost got a premature H22 swap LOL

My plan, if I could find the funds, was to buy the "old lady wagon" and do a H22 and 5 speed swap. A sudden decision to move from 1 state to another kind of scotched that plan.

I've always liked the lines on that Accord generation. Actually one of the few models in which I prefer the 4 door sedan to the wagon (did they make a coupe in this generation?). Just very clean styling. Refreshing these days.

There was a coupe for the 4th gen, but no hatch.

50 is WAY too big. Go for 225/40 imo.

Also.. love it

One of my favorite Honda products in one of my favorite colors. I'd call that pretty close to Scarlet and Gray.

Thanks you guys Vigo: I'll look into that size. Tires are EXPENSIVE for 18's!

My grand dad has a 93 2dr Accord. Bought it new. He loves it and i think it is a lovely cruiser. Love the looks of the car inside and out.

One of my best friends has a white '92 wagon that is a total rust bucket. He would kill to have one as clean as yours..

It's a great car when it's running right. Unfortunately it needs a TCM, and a radiator. Thanks for the compliments

17" tires are cheap.

cheaper than my oem 16's by at least 15 bucks a tire. may be getting close to 15" tire prices.

Yeh, 16s are becoming a niche thing with a little price hike to go with it.

I could always put some sticky 15's on the OEM wheels and go AutoX it

Well today I installed my replica Mugen front lip. It's designed for a 96-97 Accord, but I'm so cool that I made it fit I only had to trim about 3 inches off of each side, and it came out great Here's some pics:

Mocked up:

On and trimmed:

And a little photoshoot :D
