Looks good and you got good plans. Welcome to the site


Interesting to see a V6 with cloth interior

Thanks, I've been here awhile. Just haven't logged on. Haha
It's insanely clean too, for been 15 years old, and a daily driver. Not a single stain in it. No visible wear of even the driver's seat. A VERY lucky find.

Went into my local exhaust shop today, talked to the owner, super cool guy. Talked to him about getting a custom cat-back made. Gonna delete the third muffler and the resonator. 2.5" piping to they-pipe, then 2.25 to each Skunk2 muffler. Also having him put flanges in the same place as the OEM ones, so if need be, I can bolt them back in place. Gonna get a custom test pipe made, also. All for under $200, given I supply my own mufflers.

Shame it's an auto, but super clean. I'd go 18" since you're fortunate enough to have 5-lugs and maybe a manual swap. I'm sitting on Teins and loving them, but they're not as low for the V6.

 

[Valet]

Well it kinda has to come as an auto since its a V6....

And Tein's don't go low to begin with.

 

[Tra.Xenon]

I'm leaning more towards the F&F Type 2s, just because the low I have seen them go. I'm a lover of Teins, but the price and the fact that they aren't meant for low, kind of throw me off of them for this car. I'm not gonna go stupid low, nor will there be any excessive degree of camber or 'stretch and poke' involved in this build AT ALL. I have considered 18s, but I think the 17s will give the fitment I want most. I like a meaty fitment.

This. I don't see too many LX V6s, especially coupes, but they're out there.

Tra, it looks like a good base to start with and your plans sound good.

Like the direction you have in mind

Like others. I like the plans you have for this car. You have a V6, if your concerned about adding power to your car or just want the car to be less boring to drive I would suggest starting with a 6_speed manual swap from a TL/CL or the 7th gen accord. Nowadays the swap is much cheaper to pull off and if you uze the Accord tranny and do the swap yourself, it can be done for under 2 grand.

Good luck man.
