Here’s my progression over the last 4 years with my 1992 Honda Accord EX 4 Door, 5 spd Manual. 2003: Stock In my ricer stage, some seat covers, and some interior neons, and a shift knob… ![http://home.twcny.rr.com/accordtuner/images/DCP_2418.jpg](http://home.twcny.rr.com/accordtuner/images/DCP_2418.jpg) ![http://home.twcny.rr.com/accordtuner/images/DCP_2422.jpg](http://home.twcny.rr.com/accordtuner/images/DCP_2422.jpg) 2004: Blew the motor, brought the car to college, pulled the motor, and let the car sit for almost 2 years. ![http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j162/macmandan/DCP_3000.jpg](http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j162/macmandan/DCP_3000.jpg) ![http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j162/macmandan/11-08-05_1641.jpg](http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j162/macmandan/11-08-05_1641.jpg) ![http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j162/macmandan/11-08-05_1642.jpg](http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j162/macmandan/11-08-05_1642.jpg) January 2006: Bought a parts car to take an f22 out of.

welp. not only did you try to polish a turd, but you repeatedly tried polishing it for 4 years. PS: it still seems like you’re pretty deep in your ricer stage. ---

I give you alot of credit for the massive amount of work you have done and for what appears the most part on your own. That is always to be commended. However for all the effort couldnt you just have bought any old accord for what you have into yours? I guess you must really love that car for some reason. ---

yea in retrospect, wasn’t really worth it, but things have came together now, and even though it’s not the best platform, it’s different. I’m glad to not have “just another civic”. And it’s made me some money this year too. I’m planning starting another project soon, just haven’t decided what yet. It is nice, knowing that each and every aspect of my car has been gone over by me, there’s not much on the car that hasn’t been replaced, so i can be confident in it. a couple times I’ve had it up to 155-160mph, and i gotta say i’d never feel comfortable doing that in a car i wasn’t 100% sure of like i can be with this. but lets not get into how stupid of an idea that is anyways… ---

Yeah thats a lot of work for “just another accord” and its a 4dr. I love my 91 but I will never put money into it if I dont have to. I get comments and offers on mine on how clean it is in stock form so I have no desire to start modifying mine. ---

i’ve made a good amount of money street racing with it, NOT to say by any means that this was an investment, because I know better. But it was nice to fund some more parts with winnings from races. Most people underestimated what a 200hp motor can do with the right tune, and some nitrous. ---
