Hey everyone I just joined the site and have already found so much useful stuff. This will be my first honda accord I have owned although I am def not new to the scene. I currently own 6 cars was 7 for awhile but Im downsizing to focus on my current 97 db7 build. But I picked up this 01 honda accord on the way and has become my new daily.
And as Im sure alot of you know if your passionate about cars you cannot leave anything stock
So I picked this accord for extremely cheap here is the info 01 honda accord lx automatic 2.3. 108,xxx miles on it. Exterior is in overall good shape minus a dent in the rear bumper but Im going to pop that out untill I can source another one. Picked it up for $800.....yes thats right $800 because it was in need of a transmission. So It sat for quite awhile as I was so busy I couldnt get around to it.
Well one day I was reading local forums which I am on a lot and was reading through and found someone had a bad tranny and it was starting to slip so they flushed the fluid out drove it for 6k miles and flushed it again then repeated one more time and went back to 30k miles and this solved their issue.
So I figured with the low miles of my accord what the heck why not.So I did this and put fresh honda dw1 fluid back in it and low and behold it shifts like a champ. Only issues is down low when it shift from 1st gear but nothing I dont think wont be solved after another flush or two.
Anyways its the dark green exterior with tan interior of course one of the most common colors Im not a fan but it obviously was too good of a deal to pass up. So I am currently attempting to source up tan leather interior front and rear w/door panels locally and I snagged up some 17x7 Volk av3's to throw on it because Im not into replica/knock wheels.
I love all the extra accossories and already bought the factory rear cargo net off a member on here already. I have big plans for it but dont wanna take away from it being a comfortable daily driver.
Sorry for the long intro pics will be up later today
