1. Is this your first car?

Yes. This car is my first car, and very happy that I have this as my first car.

2. How did you end up with the accord?

This accord was passed down from my parents as a graduation gift. My dad was looking at a 6th gen coupe, but then my mom complained about “crawling” into the back seat. So we ended up with the sedan.

3. When did you first start modifying cars?

I started about a few months after I got my licence. First mod was a hid kit on stock reflectors. Then I got a cold air intake. After that, I just couldn’t stop. My parents were first against me modding the car, but I think now they are just accepting it.

4. Did you run into any problems along the way when you were modifying stuff?

I ran into TONS of problems with modding. I am sure everyone else here have the same problems. Problems: 1 tranny, 2 alternators, 1 battery, exhaust leak, endlink seizure, audio not working, 1 cruise control, 2 bumpers, 1 hit and run and too many more I can’t remember
5. Why do you do it? Why not leave it stock?

The question should be why leave it stock! Haha. To get from point A to B in style. LOL. To be honest, there are too many accords out there, just want mine to be something different. and I guess its just my hobby, i love working on cars. Spent way too much money on it, but its better spend on the car then elsewhere.

6. What other mods do you have planned for the car?

CF trunk (hopefully coming in soon). And who wouldn’t want to supercharge or the 3.2 swap. But being in Canada, this is just not likely to happen.

7. Any other cars you're tinkering with?


Would love to get a nsx in the future, but I think this accord will stay with me for a while. As long as it runs. This accord has just been thru way to much with me. This will certainly be my favourite car i will ever own.

8. What's your favorite thing about your car, specifically? Which money do you feel was your best investment?

I think the favourite thing about my car would be my gramlights for exterior, and my dc2 recaro for interior. The gold and black combo really sets my car out from others. And the dc2 are just soo comfy, plus, not a lot of accords have it in.

9. Is there anybody you would like to credit or thank for helping you along the way?

First of all, thank you for all those who voted me for ROTM. Special thanks to my friends Jonathan Cheung and Andy Dasilva for always helping me work and fix my car. Also, thanks my girlfriend, Karina, for allowing me to spend all this money on my car. Thanks for those on TAC, 6GA and V6P that has inspired and helped me. Last but not least, thanks to my parents for putting up with all the car parts around the house and letting me do what I like to do.
