Jordan_H's 98 Accord Sedan EX (56k)

[Jordan_H]

Here's just a quick pic

My plans are basically going to be a little more track day inspired, possibly. The body being super clean I would feel bad drifting it all the time. However, it's hard to feel bad when you're sideways around a corner having a blast. I know for sure that I won't be doing over fenders because I couldn't possibly cut into the quarter panels. I would love to have an sr20det but $$$ and I still have a lot of love for my accord. If I can't find an lsd then I will probably weld the diff. I love the type x s13. Would love to make it look like one of those. Mods will probably come slow because I want to use quality parts. First thing is locating a transmission. Shouldn't be an issue.

That's awesome! I'm actually looking for an S13 hatch or S14 right now too. Something fun to DD and then turn into a project car again haha

Everything around me is just beat on and owned by a younger guy. Hoping to find that old lady owned gem.

Think any old lady's have a 3rd Gen RX-7 just waiting to be sold? lol

I'll get the shipping quote Monday, Jordan. Been busy with school and work.

 

[Jordan_H]

If you have the funds, definitely go s14.

Don't worry too much about the shipping quote. My car isn't going anywhere, sadly...

I probably won't make a thread for the s13, at least not until later. Plans for it are
Find a transmission
Weld the diff
BC coilovers
Bride Gias seats
I could use my white strs from the accord on it, but we'll see.
And basically learn to drift with the sohc until it blows up and then swap in an sr20.

Exterior mods won't be done for awhile.

How did you mount the fogs?

How did you mount the fogs?

I can't even remember exactly. I know I cut a lot of plastic but kept enough in areas to put a screw in the plastic shroud of the foglights. It's very difficult to explain it someone because there are a million different ways to do but really no way to guide some through. Just basically be smart about it and cut the bumper until it fits. You're also going to need to cut some metal behind the bumper because they stick out far in the back.

So you've got a Single cam KA? You could just do a KA24DE swap and build/boost that. In case you didn't want to go SR

It's almost as much work to switch to dual cam and I just personally prefer the SR. Most people are either turbo ka or sr. Kind of like a Coke or Pepsi opinion lol

Yeah i noticed that metal piece that sticks out. I started to do one side this past weekend and might i say its a pain because you have to cut precise or else bye bye bumper. Now i have to figure out how to custom make some brackets so it can sit flush with the bumper. Just wanted to get some ideas from other members maybe it would be easier.
