new 01 sedan owner from Denver

wicked_jeb · Nov 30, 2013

Whats up guys. Just got my hands on my first Accord. Its a 2001 EX with leather. Metallic satin silver. 5 spd. Has the Ulev vtec F23A4 in it. (want to swap it)
I have some thoughts and ideas on what I would like to do to it in the future. So dont be surprised when you start seeing my threads popping up.

Future Mod List (so far lol)
AP2 or EM1 cluster swap.
Projector swap
Full lip kit (still trying to find a good looking one. ideas?)
new wheels
lowering kit
Fix up engine<<still in the "idk what the hell is best for it option" so any helpful thoughts/suggestions would be awesome.

Anyways thats it so far. I will try to get some pics posted. dont have a digi but will try to get some with my phone.
Anyone from the Denver area ever wanna meet up, just hit me up.

Welcome to the site.

Enjoy.

Check through the Product Review Forum as well as some of the Member Rides with similar cars for some modification ideas.

Welcome to the site. 4cyl swaps have been done again and again, just spend some time searching and reading. Most do the H22.

AP2 if any
Retrofit headlights
Wings West type w
Your choice of 17"+ with a -15 to -25 offset 8"+ wide
FF type 1 or 2 or 2.5
H22 would be your best bet

Good luck & try to have a theme in mind before you start on it.

You mean +15 to +25 offset. And that depends on low he wants to go.

wicked_jeb · Dec 3, 2013

it will be low. but i want to put the lip kit on first. Then judfe it from there. I found a h22a4 for sale for 1k with trans. Gonna pick that up and then start on the build for it.

AP2 if any<<<really would like this. currently doing research on the swap
Retrofit headlights<<<not sure what those are honestly
Wings West type w<<<good looking kit. probably the one i will order
Your choice of 17"+ with a -15 to -25 offset 8"+ wide
FF type 1 or 2 or 2.5<<<??? confused on this
H22 would be your best bet<<<found one to start my build with

oh and the theme is going to be show/dd. I want to be able to blow by people if I want to but at the same time keep it looking really nice. I want to keep my current silver and find some nice wheels. I kinda like the black wheel look with the silver paint. wife wants me to paint it black with pink or lime green wheels. I want an 'executive' looking car that is a lot faster than what it currently is.

The AP2 cluster is sick but idk if it is even possible to convert into our cars.
Retrofits are when you take your existing lights & retrofit them with projectors they look 100X better (when done properly) then any aftermarket projectors they make for the 6th gens.
The WW lip kits are good & solid
RedRyder corrected my offset mistake
FF type 1,2,2.5 are coilovers about 50% of the people that are lowered are on some type of coilovers. FF is a company that makes coilovers
