6GHonda's Ride

[6GHonda]

What up 6GA? I drop in occasionally and do some research regarding any projects I am working on so I am not too new. I recently swapped my motor due to a spun bearing and want to thank everyone for the helpful information I found on the site that got me through the process. Anyway, here is my ride after the swap. I bought the car with some mods so I don’t know the manufacture of some parts on the car. I will try my best to explain and load pic’s as I have had trouble in the past. Have mercy, I haven’t washed her after the swap.

Welcome to the site.

Enjoy.

That front bumper looks like it needs some love.....or soap and water.

Plans for a lip kit?

Re: 6GHonda's Ride - Have Mercy

Looks like a good start. By 4 point strut do you mean the oem strut reinforcements?

Good start. What sideskirts are those. They're horrendous lol

Re: 6GHonda's Ride - Have Mercy

Not sure what sideskirts they are. Came with the car when I bought it. Still debating if I should leave them and add a lip kit or just remove them. Only problem is... the roads in abq NM suck and I scrape all over as it is.

As for the oem four point strut mounts...those were also on the car. First time I have seen them. I was doing some research and found that they are to be just as useful as the upper strut bar. You don't see them on most cars so I thought I would leave them. Let me know what you think.

Re: 6GHonda's Ride - Have Mercy

I believe these strut bars came off of the v6 model accord. I could be wrong. Any and all info and criticism is welcome.

Re: 6GHonda's Ride - Have Mercy

the strut reinforcements are on all accords

Re: 6GHonda's Ride - Have Mercy

In your opinion, do they serve the same purpose as a strut tower bar? Should I leave em or replace em?

They're not nearly as rigid as a full bar.
