    goldenchamp's '01 EX Sedan (5MT)

    Got an oil change today, and decided to replace my dying Honda battery with an Optima Red Top. In the process of changing the battery, I found that the tie down J screws were really corroded and stripped. That meant leaving the Accord in the garage and taking my wife's CR-V to Beaverton...

    goldenchamp's '01 EX Sedan (5MT)

    Thanks for the props! I'm a bit on the fence on suspension mods. I like the stock spring rates, and I don't wanna screw up the alignment on my wheels that have expensive tires on them. I do agree that a drop of about an inch would look perfect! Maybe a Mugen lip will give me the look without...

    goldenchamp's '01 EX Sedan (5MT)

    While waiting for the proper funds to upgrade my brakes and stiffen my chassis, I receive these center caps in the mail from eBay. I thought they were cool looking knock-offs, but it actually turned out that these are genuine Honda parts (number 44732-S5H-MOO). I couldn't find what they were...

    goldenchamp's '01 EX Sedan (5MT)

    Took her out on the only dry day this week and snapped some pics with my new Nikon D5500. I'm loving the new wheels more and more! Coming soon: Stoptech brakes and Eibach front sway bar!

    goldenchamp's '01 EX Sedan (5MT)

    Thanks! Two were remanufactured, and two were from a salvage yard in SoCal. Those were the biggest surprise!

    goldenchamp's '01 EX Sedan (5MT)

    Just got back from Les Schwab and decided to snap a quick pic in my work parking lot. I'm so excited to finally have these wheels on my ride! :headbang: So far the BFGs are a big step up from my crappy bald Fuzions. I'll take more pics when I have time.

    goldenchamp's '01 EX Sedan (5MT)

    It's been months since I last posted, and I made an exciting purchase! I just bought a set of 16 in. wheels from a 1999 Acura 3.0CL. I ordered some BFGoodrich G-Force Sport Comp 2 A/S (205-55ZR-16) tires from Les Schwab to wrap around these beauties. I've always loved the multi-spoke look...

    Brake Upgrade Options

    If I had a V6 with 5-lug wheels and hubs, I would definitely do that, but I have a lowly 4cyl with 4-lug wheels and hubs. I don't really have any desire to do a 5-lug swap, and I'm looking for basically a drop-in upgrade to the existing brakes. Were you talking about using TL calipers? Would...

    Brake Upgrade Options

    Not to revive a more or less dead thread, but what year Odyssey calipers did you use? I assume you didn't need to change hubs to fit the 98-99 3.0Cl rotors? My current stock brakes are starting to shudder a bit, and I was informed that my rear pads are pretty worn, so I'm thinking it's time...

    LED Brake Bulbs, No Load Resistors and No Brake Light Indicator!

    Thank you for this post! I was finally able to get rid of the *only* warning light in my CG! I have an '01 sedan, and the black box is kind of *in* the driver's side tail light assembly. I wish I took pictures, but the best way I can describe it is there is some insulating foam around the...

    goldenchamp's '01 EX Sedan (5MT)

    Happy New Year everyone! It's been a very long time since I last posted. A lot of things have happened. I got married, moved, and got a new job. In addition to finishing my LED swap, I also added some 3M brake light tape to turn my gauge needles red on the cheap. If you look closely, you can...

    Windshield Washer Fluid Pump Stopped Working!!

    Hey all! Good to be back on the forum. I just moved, and had my champ parked for about a month in a friend's garage. I start it up, drive away, and find that my windshield washers aren't working. I pull off to listen for the pump, and no sound! The reservoir tank is full of Rain-X fluid, so I...

    Decided to snap a couple photos after washing her the other day.

    goldenchamp's '01 EX Sedan (5MT)

    Been a little while since I last posted, but after helping a friend with a dead battery, I decided to add a little bit of cheap protection to my battery. Here's the way it sat before I bought some felt terminal protectors and some protectant spray at O'Reilly. The total cost was less...

    goldenchamp's '01 EX Sedan (5MT)

    My car just came back from the shop. They diagnosed that the Clutch Master Cylinder they put in 18 months ago was defective and ordered a new one. They covered 80% of the repair cost, so I only paid $65! My clutch feels much better now. :driver:

    Poor sedan.

    Bahaha yes! I remember seeing a ton of really disgustingly modified Hondas and Nissans when I lived in California! :puke:

    V6 Swap?

    You would literally have to gut and replace everything in the engine bay. It's best to look into an F20B, H22A, or G23 (F block with H head) swap. I personally think the 6GA handles better in 4cyl form with less weight in the front.

    Analog Climate control to Digital Climate

    I've wanted to do this since I got my 6GA, but I think it might be more trouble than it's worth. Would getting a V6 multiplexor mess with other stuff in my car since I have an EX 4cyl?

    dbruskla's 1998 Accord Coupe EX-V6 (56k)

    Nice find! I wish they included nice features like heated seats and mirrors on the USDM 6GAs. Instead, we're consigned to building those ourselves! Do you know the story of why a CDM Accord has a USDM gauge cluster? I see your speedo reads in MPH and the Brake warning lamp is the US style. (I...

    Gauge clusters

    Very nice! I still wanna eventually go with the gray faced '01-'02 coupe gauges, but I think I'll do this in the meantime. You used taillight tape, right?

    goldenchamp's '01 EX Sedan (5MT)

    I saw those, and being that I'm a poor, starving musician with college loans, I decided on this one because of the price, and the look of the Mugen label. My plans with the VC at this point are to go with kind of an AP2 look. I want the cover to be red with the H emblem and VTEC letters in...
