The side skirts for the Mugen Style kit would be really easy to mod to fit. The thing is that the mugen rear would take a little more work, because the coupes booty is fatter, I think someone here did it though a while back.

EDIT: And by the way OP........Why if you're having so much trouble financially finishing up your MT swap and turbo build are you buying wheels?

To be honest, I don't think they will even look good on your car. Black time attack style wheels on a Silver sedan?????

I'm not having money troubles fixing my car, Its a available problem finding parts to finish my 5 speed swap. Which I finally found all the parts required to do this. With a bit of me, just needing to take a break from it.

Picked up my 5th Gen Prelude shifter assembly today, My 5th Gen Prelude Pedals should be in mid next week. Friday my chipped P28 ECU should be here to have it sent to a shop to get a new base map burnt as well as the Turbo Kit. Then my buddy should be coming soon to drop off my conversion harness.

Buying 18's, I already bought them. They are in the shed with my 17's and rest of my parts for my car. I like the rims though.

If I had all the parts, Friday we would start working on it. But miss informed and stuff left me with useless parts. So Hopefully end of month my car be rolling.


Started my car up after 2 months of sitting, Battery is fried on it, Needs a constant charge on it. But she runs like usual ( w/ the dizzy noise ) left it running for 10-20mins. So I'll pick up a Red Top soon.475 CCA wont cut it anymore with the stereo gear and such.

When my car is getting the 5 speed swap done, I'm getting my front camber kit installed, oil change, brake fluid changed, P/S fluid changed, drop in a new rotor cap and button and change the rear brakes, drop the roto tech rotors on it since like most of the parts will be off.

Haven't updated in awhile, Lets see...

98 Accord Coupe Front End, Ordered a Type R Grille. New Shift Handle, Extention Piece, Short Shift Adapter. Converted it over to 5 Speed ( F22 Tranny, Exedy Clutch, 11LB Flywheel ), Figuring out the ECU issues.

Bought a JDM H22A, Proper ECU, Harness, ETC. Need a H22A4 Bracket and new Conversion Harness.

Bought 95 Accord EXR 15" Rims.

Removed All Carpet and rubberized the floor and fixed the surface rust. Sound Proof.

So Next Month Before I put it away I should have it lowered again, H22A working fine. Bumper lined up, Undercoated.

The Time Attacks did not last long on my car, I sold them for EXR Accord Rims. I Sold my Turbo kit and ended up buying that H22A.

The motor that I should have dropped in from day one. Im gonna love the JDM H22A, 220 Crank, so I think they run about 170 WHP, Which is like 60 WHP more then my F23 ran when it was auto.

Biggest mistake when I did the 5 speed swap was use the prelude shifter assembly. But I found them easier. Prelude got the ebrake on the right side where the accord is on the left, so I wack my hand/shift knob off the ebrake.

So I ordered a extention for it and a new handle.

^^^^ Someone else who wishes there was a complete kit to continue the Type R front lip. :thumbsup:

For sure, even closer to an OEM looking kit that the WW.

The side skirts for the Mugen Style kit would be really easy to mod to fit. The thing is that the mugen rear would take a little more work, because the coupes booty is fatter, I think someone here did it though a while back.

Simon had a full Mugen kit, I didn't ask if he modded the rear, but I guess he may have had to to get it to fit. Best thing he did was fill in the holes on the side skirts.
