Rusty Accord
Well-Known Member
So came the time that the suspension needed replacing, so I placed a order for a set of Fortune Auto 500's fitted with custom rate Swift springs.
The bushings were toast and the end links were cashed as well, so I went ahead and replaced every single thing I could get my hands on with Hard Race or Moog Problem solver bushings, sway bars included.
Also included a set of skunk2 pro + camber arms.
I took a day to install everything and get the height set reasonable enough to get down the road and still have room for the springs to settle.
Also got my windows Tined with ..
Then I headed down to Texas Track Works for a full corner balance and alignment to bring the geometry back into spec.
So I decided it was time to ditch the GSR transmission in favor of a new ITR transmission from Honda with a limited slip diff and 4:40 gear set.
So here is the final weight with my 178lb ballast in the car with each corner dialed in, so without me, this is a 2,600lb car, not bad for a 4 door car.
Love what you've done with it, and the color looks great on it. Was the cat back in stainless? Man that engine looks clean and well dressed out. If it wasn't for emissions, you could run 4 ITBs on a MegaSquirt 3 set up, and burn E-85 on it. Or maybe you have something more sinister planned.
But looking at that car, I see a lot of my 97 Accord, and some of my 99/00 in it as well. Some of the shapes and design que's are there. Very unique car that's also eye catching in color and body style. I like it.
