Farlow's JDM Accord Wagon SIR

Well I thought it was about time to get some pics of the accord up and start a build thread. Haven't done much work so far but over the next year or so Claire's accord and my aerodeck are probably the cars that you will be seeing us in at meets and events. These will probably be seeing more love in the short term as I thought it better to get our dailys up to scratch before blowing a load of money on our long term prelude and crx projects.

Anyway here goes, this is how we bought the accord in stock form roughly a year ago.

Shortly after this pic was taken we decided we were going to JAE and couldn't possibly turn up with stock wheels especially in the poor state they were in. So I managed to pick up some 17" x 7.5 rota gt3's and had them wrapped in a brand new set of toyo t1r's. Immediately after fitting them however it became apparent that the car desperately needed lowering. I got straight back on eBay and ordered a set of bc racing coilovers and fitted them only a couple of days before setting off for JAE.

After these pics were taken the car was garaged, loaded up with camping gear and given a final once over with Meguires next generation tech wax.

It must have also caught the eye of someone else as we spotted this little bad boy in Banzai a few months later.

No all autos I'm afraid, it kinda suits the car though, although I do have a u2q7 gearbox sat it the garage doing nothing at the minute :twisted:
