Biography Of The Car:
My Honda Accord was built in Ohio in the year of 2002. The car was a blast stock with the v6 engine, however the car was plagued by the Automatic Transmission Curse and would later go through 2 different Automatic Transmissions and later infamous CL Type S Transmission swap would happen. I began with simple modifications planning to keep it fairly stock as a daily driver. I've done a lot of different modifications and with most of them being early modifications they later needed to be replaced due to their outdated style and lack of direction / purpose. My Honda Accord has gone through numerous fazes throughout it's life time including the infamous polished lip faze, wheels without drop faze, black on black faze, etc
In the beginning of the year 2010 my car was totaled by a Tornado. My car was hit by debris and tennis ball size hail. This forum put together money and donated money for my cars repairs and car parts. If it weren't for the members of 6thgenaccord.com, my car would not exist today. I am forever grateful and in debt to 6thgenaccord.com and its members. This site is sacred ground to me. The car was fixed to the best of my ability and was painted with Raptor Liner Truck Bed Liner, not regular automotive paint to represent that my car may be damaged, but it as well as my heart will remain unbreakable!
Its only since the year 2011 that I've turned the course towards legal sanctioned racing with the SCCA. Since 2011 I've been turning my Honda Accord into a purpose built race car. I have a long way to go but I believe in my Honda Accord and my dreams. The starting car class for my Honda Accord will be the Street Touring Modified class. I will not give up on my Honda Accord, like so many others. I will continue to put hours of blood, sweat, and tears into this car until she growls and fights hey way to the top.

Probably will use 10m Birch Ply Wood sheet from Lowe's or if I'm feeling rich use Alumalite and then reinforce it
Layer with Carbon Fiber / Carbon Fiber - Kevlar hybrid which ever I choose for added rigidity
