1. Is this your first car?
Yes
2. How did you end up with the accord?
The Accord wasn’t the car I planned on getting at first. My parents first told me that I could purchase a first car for $5000 or less. I was planning on purchasing either a 240sx or an AE86, but after researching my parents felt both cars were to unreliable. They decided that it would be better for me to take my mom’s car. So in July 2005 after I got my license my parents handed over the keys to the 2000 Taffeta White Honda Accord EX V6 Sedan.
3. When did you first start modifying cars?
I started modifying the Accord way before I started driving it. The first mods I ever bought for the Accord were some blue LED interior bulbs and hyper white headlight bulbs that I installed when my mom was still driving the car.
4. Did you run into any problems along the way when you were modifying stuff?
Yea I ran into tons of problems while I was modifying the car. I’ve been threw a bunch of parts. I am currently on my 4th gauge cluster and I’ve had 5 different headlights. Trial and error played a big part in modifying this car.
5. Why do you do it? Why not leave it stock?
Modifying is just fun. It’s a way of life. It might not be for everyone, but for those who choose to do it find a sense of individuality. Some feel that me lowering my car such an extreme amount is just plain stupid but that’s their views not mine.
6. What other mods do you have planned for the car?
I am trying to switch up the exterior body style a little bit and hopefully get a different set of wheels that are a little more aggressive.
7. Any other cars you're tinkering with?
I am not currently modifying any other car at this time, hopefully in the future.
8. What's your favorite thing about your car, specifically? Which money do you feel was your best investment?
My favorite part of the car is the suspension. The coilovers are the most expensive item currently on the car. It has allowed me to lower my car to basically any height I desired. The car handles a lot better, even though the drop I have defeats the purpose of having the suspension components.
9. Is there anybody you would like to credit or thank for helping you along the way?
I would like to thank my team “spunkyFRESH”, my family for providing the car and putting up with the constant mods, my girlfriend Michele for understanding my car can’t go many places, Kevin Akahoshi for the pictures, video and for the coilover install, and all of those who have supported, inspired, and helped me with the car along the way.
