So my 6ga has upwards of 270,000 miles on it and becoming more unreliable by the day. Had a bunch of issues when I had a shop do a stock motor swap and manual 5sp swap and ever since then things have just gone downhill for the car. After getting my promotion at Honda I decided it was time for another Honda/Acura of some sort. Got a text about someone selling a 2005 accord and after 2 days i fell in love with it and up and bought it. Car was always garage kept so the paint is almost show room quality. So I may be parting out the 6GA sometime if I decide to sell it, but its still up in the air at this point whether or not I want to dump a bunch of money into it to fix it.

The reason the mod list for the 7GA is posted three times is..........

Congrats on the purchase. Looks like the car came with alot of good already, which is nice.

Enjoy the new ride.

Congrats on the v6 mt. Seems like you already have the lip kit. I can't wait to see what you will do with this car.

7GA looks very nice, congrats on the upgrade. Enjoy it. :)

Shame for your 6GA to be retired shortly after a new paint job. But sometimes that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

OEM HFP lip kits already on and painted

very nice pick up! congrats on it.
did I miss something or do you still have the 6GA?

Still have the 6GA, just dont know whether im gonna sell it and part it out or not. Reverse synchros just blew along with needing new axles, exhaust leak etc etc. Just needs more attention than i can give it right now.

mmmm nice pik up, looks clean :thumbsup:

I love 7GA, congrats on the new ride.

Thanks guys, cant wait to get tinkering with it.

Yea I know, im having a tough time parting with the car as I put so much hard work/time and money into this car with the paint, black leather swapped interior, engine/5sp swap etc. I may just keep this car and do some AutoX and beat the hell out of it haha. Im already ready to paint this new 7GA too, especially since I still have the hookup at our body shop.

Always loved your 6thgen man, and sucks to hear about the issues you've had with it with the reliability/5MT swap.

The 7thgen looks amazing - can't wait to see what you do with it. Time to go live on V6P.net lol!

Keep us posted, great start with the mods already!

Are those factory Brembo calipers on it?
