Noob says Hi.
Hi everyone, I got this clean titled car as supposedly my beater, daily driver as my current truck is quite harsh on gas for around town, plus I wanted a manual car as I never had one.
I am simply in the last stages of getting my '95 EX Accord in daily driver status from beater status. I have been fixing the hell out of the car, I got the car in October of last year, spent a month getting the timing belt, water pump, thermostate, CV boots, all fluids replaced, motor mount, spark plugs, and various bushings replaced. Oh also the gas gauge and sending units.
The only mod is a new stereo deck, and alarm. Oh also some wheel locks. Then I took it into a shop to get a new paint job done and hopefully should be out in another week or so (haven't had the car since December '02).
Bought the 2nd gen rear taillights for it, front euro clear bumper lights, still considering the corners, but not sure yet, and a telephone profit mount for my motorola V60 phone. The future holds for a sunroof deflector, rear swaybar, and front end half bra.
I am quite impressed as I turned this piss poor car to absolutely excellent condition. Probably going to hold on to the car for another year and half, then consider something with more power (possibly a new GTO or newer accord v6 with the six-speed), whoever gets this car after me is going to have a really clean, excellent car.
These are some images when I first got it:
yes I know my garage is a mess
and my stock interior
as soon as I am done doing the newer mods, of course after I get the car back, I'll post updated pictures

Welcome to HAN newbie, it's nice to hear that your taking good care of your Accord. Your car looks pretty clean. Have you considered dropping it first? That front wheel gap looks huge. :a:

sup...my net is jacked up so i can't see the pics...but i would suggest not going w/ the bra...keeps it chipless, but messes w/ the paint and also doesn't look good (do'nt think i know a single car that looked good w/ it on)...how many miles on it...cuz u can prolly keep it for way more than a yr and a half...have fun around han...and use search when possible...and don't mind the flamers
