wow, I guess you have a freak car, lol.

At least the rear camber is in spec now :thumbup:

I'm still on stock height, and have rubbing because my wheel offset is +43, which is too low for a 18x7.5" rims (the wheel sticksout a bit). I'm thinking that it will be fixed when I get stiffer lowering springs, but if it doesn't, I'll have to do a little cutting.

Anyways, do you have more pics of your car?

 

Yes, I have more pics, but to give you a better Idea of the drop I think this picture is probably the best for reference (since the others arent taken from the level of the tire)

The pic in my sig might be a bit misleading since it was taken from a higher level (obviously :-) and also its in the noon so the sun is right above the car so the shadow from the fender well is hiding the gap between the tire and the wheel well.

 

ah yes, that looks more like a 1.5" drop :thumbup:

 

I agree, my car suffers from the most wierdest things ever. I have never (yet) had any mechanical problems with the car such as with the powertrain etc or even electrical. The only stupid problems i have is that for some reason the plastic glass in front of my gauge cluster has a crack (just appeared one day!) and there is a crack in the plastic near the auto shifter (the indentation meant for putting a pen or pencil in) right in there! lol.

I have been thinking about replacing the glass part on my gauge cluster and replacing the middle console. but not sure where to get the parts for a good price.

 

hmm yes I like my sig pic better hehe.

 

maybe your next mod should be paint-matched side skirts and door moldings? It will make the car look cleaner :thumbup:

 

man, thats exactly what I was about to tell you, I noticed that the 2001 and 2002 LX have painted skirts from factory! so yes I saw one and it looked ver clean (like EX) so thats what I have also planned on doing but just havent got the time yet, but I will. I promise and then I will put up more pics.

Btw, do you know of a write up on that somewhere? I dont know how much and what kind of paint and where to get it from.

another pic

 

well, actually, on the 01-02 LX:

The side molding (on the doors) is paint-matched
The side skirt (below the door) is black plastic.

On the 01-02 EX, the side skirt is paint matched too.

Anyways, I got a prive quote from http://www.ahmotor.com for paint matched side skirts for $170. It seems steep, but dreman who's got a 01 LX, was quoted more than that just to get the side skirts painted professionally. IMO, you would probably be better off buying the OEM paint-matched side skirts, since the paint will be better, and will match you silver car perfectly. I don't think painting the black plastic would be a good idea, unless you get it done professionally:

oh ok my bad

Yea I hear you on paiting plastic. it can be major pain in the ass.

I will ask my local dealer also to see how much it is for paint matched set from the factory.

Also I know some people here in the auto body business that may help. I shall ask them.

Btw, since you also have a LX 4CYL, I meant to ask you if you have done any engine modifications (not major) but minor things like intake or exhaust?

 

well, all I've done is a DIY grounding upgrade, and rims. My dad currently will not let me do anything else to the car, but I'll get him to change his mind...

This is what I have *planned*:

Neuspeed-Koni Shocks
H&R Sport Springs (1.5"F/1.2"R)
Comptech Sways
Acura TL-S Front strut bar
Acura TL-S Perforated Leather steering wheel
Injen Intake
B&M Auto Tranny cooler (maybe a filter too)
Paint-matched EX side-skirts
