My turn for a new ride thread!

Just picked up my latest 4 wheeled contraption, a 1995 Honda Accord EXi-S, it's a 2.2 litre (F22 something) SOHC Non-VTEC good for 104 Kw (Not sure what that is in bhp), manual in Sherwood green, which is a REALLY dark metallic green. 122,000 Km's on the odometer.

This thing is loaded- has leather seats, electric windows/mirrors, alloy wheels, alarm, ABS, 6 CD Stacker, Air conditioning, among whatever I've forgotten. Basically the car (manufactured in NZ and hence bought new here) was top of the NZ-made Accord range back when it was new, so it's mega-peeimpin' definitely makes a fantastic and grunty cruiser, but handles well, as all Hondas should.


Plans for the car include: Fixing the radiator, Euro plates (They fit on the boot and front bumper), 17 Inch alloy wheels, a leather retrim somewhere into the future, tints, smoked tail lights, sounds, a 20mm drop and SiR headlights. Power tweaks will be few and far in between due to the fact that this car is for cruising and not driving hard. I'll most likely have this car for 5-6 years.


It also cost me $67 to fill up on the way home, stupid NZ government and their gay fuel taxes :(



Pics in the morning (Too dark for pics when I got home).

As you can see the leather on the armrest and lateral parts of the drivers seat is pretty fucked, not much of a problem, I should be able to have those specific bits retrimmed for a few hundred $

Vrrroooooooom!


Fi- Sure thing, just give me about 9 hours or so to get to your flat :p

Nice man.

You have ugly feet :lol2:

Love the wheels on the car. I think they look better than those on later accords.


PS If you ever get your seats fixed, make sure that they move the steering wheel back to the correct side of the car.

H22 swap in the near future?

The distant future, if ever, seeing as we can buy the Accord Si-R over here :p

Why don't you hurry up and haul your ass back down here!

Looks MINT bro. Put some fucking shoes on!

sack it on chromes au...

fuck dude I honestly envy u for the ability to fill up on $67

are u gonna keep the towbar?

David, If you think I'm going to run up 3 floors to get footwear then you are SERIOUSLY deluded. :p

Mike- I certainly plan on keeping the towbar, it's my first line of defense against Auckland drivers who love riding up my ass :D Also good for towing stuff, I guess :dunno:

$67 was still a shock, after all those $40 fill-ups with the old Civic.


Fi- While I was hauling my ass down there I got kidnapped by savages who burnt my car and killed me. I might be a bit later than expected.


In other news I've decided that the first thing that must go is the ugly steering wheel (This is a steering wheel that has been used on Accords since the 1980's :p), probably will source either a Momo one or a better looking OEM one.

Hey ... when are you going to "rice" it out with the ironing board wing? :lol:

Looks great ... an excellent starter platform car.

Something tells me you're lying about the savages.

It also cost me $67 to fill up on the way home, stupid NZ government and their gay fuel taxes :(

Teach MAericans a thing or two about complaing about gas prices.
