1. Is this your first car?
1988 Honda Accord EXi Canadian Version of the LXi

2. How did you end up with the accord?
When I moved to the United States in 03 from Toronto, Canada I was in the market for a Honda or Acura and stumbled on the current 01 accord. I got it from a local dealer ship for a decent price. I wish I went with a 5spd to begin with but now all is well.

3. When did you first start modifying cars?

I started when I was about 16 or 17 years old. I was never into customizing cars that serious but always loved cars even at a much younger age. I would always know what car just drove by, and I would be able to notify the make & model. People were shocked a kid would know all that and I do mean a kid lol. My 2nd car was a 1988 Honda Civic 4dr and I did minor mods to it like system and tint etc nothing off the wall but the 6th gen accord is where it started seriously.

4. Did you run into any problems along the way when you were modifying stuff?
I'm sure most of us have had issues modifying just about any car, that's what makes it fun and challenging. It kind of makes the end result more rewarding to look back and see the obstacles you over came. People know the issues I've had with this car but it does not hold me down. However, I do have a few more tricks up my sleeve lol.

5. Why do you do it? Why not leave it stock?
I did not buy this car to modify it at all, after meeting a few accord tuners in my area it was game over lol. I think it's an extension of your self, It's not the best investment but how many hobbies are really? For me everything has to be thought out and done right, everything has to be as clean and simple as possible. Form with function is for sure something to look at when your modifying cars.

6. What other mods do you have planned for the car?
I can't say fully; it will be a secret but I'm sure most if you know of the new engine build which consists of a k24/k20 Turbo setup. Stay tuned and the motor will be dropped in momentarily. Also just to give you guys a heads up I spoke with Honda tuning Magazine and they are ready to feature the car right now, but we decided to wait till the k swap is finished. This was confirmed this week and it will be cool for sure as the CG owners need to rep harder and harder.


7. Any other cars you're tinkering with?
Not really but I'm in the market for a DA teg or EK hatch or even an older CB7.

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

I would have to say the motor setup hands down, the car felt much more alive after the 5spd conversion and the H22 swap. The car became much more fun to drive and it's only going to get more fun soon with the new motor and boost.

9. Is there anybody you would like to credit or thank for helping you along the way?
So many people to thank, I'll start off with this website. So many OG's to name, and you know who you are. It has been great having this community and I want to thank all it's members and admin for all your hard work and information

A "Newb" question, how does the hood stay up like that? I know the hood shocks were removed, but how does it not fly back on to the windshield or back down? :dunce:
