Balwin's Intro

Hey so I live in Maryland but I'm pretty good friends with a lot of the Midwest guys so I thought I would join. Hope you guise don't mind!










o Name: Balwin Singh
o Age: 21
o Model & Year of car: 1996 Accord EX CD5 F22B1 Manual
o Location: Easton, Maryland / Hyattsville, MD

I bought my accord back in June of 2006 as my first car when I was 16. I bought it from an wealthy elderly couple and it was their third car. When they owned it they had it professionally detailed at least once a month and had every receipt imaginable. It was their 3rd car that was driven by his wife. When I bought it, she had 128,xxx miles. I'm almost at 200 now and going strong as ever!

Performance:

Megan header
Delta 260 Camshaft Regrind ------------------------------------------->maybe..
Chipped P06 converted to P28 with street tune on NepTune-----> maybe..

Suspension:

Ultra Racing 3 point strut bar -------------------------------->definitely
Tanabe front underbrace
Polyurethane dust boots and bushings
Hard Rubber rear lower strut bolt bushing
New sway bar or get mine fixed (center piece broke off)



Aesthetics:

Redo the retrofit with Depo headlights and different projectors and shrouds.. I wont let that out of the box just yet.

Wetsand the clearcoat.

Repaint G35 wheels (white again.. the current finish is screwed).

Sell 25mm spacer and buy a 15mm spacer for the rear and an 8 or 10mm spacer for the front.

Maybe a rear window visor to compliment the sunroof visor.

More LED retrofits
Acura Legend Lip DIY (bought, not installed)
Maybe Sideskirts
Maybe Rear Lip

yeah, how bout them G35 coupe wheels (with 5 lug swap obviously)

Um, who are you?












Nice to see you join up Balwinning! We could use more guys like you lol. Pretty legit little forum we got for the midwest huh? I like your fail of a transfer of intro from HS to GLA. The formatting is all different here

So, since you are now a member, does that mean you will be attending a meet so I can FINALLY see this 5 speed swapped, function form suspensioned, G35 wheel having, carbon fiber fugen grill missing, nitrous injection begging, sherwood green sedan?!?

Clean.

Keep that 94/95 OEM grill..in a way, it matches with the spokes of the G35 wheels. Moogen would match a little less imo.

does anyone kno what kind of wheels are on the other accord in the pic

Racing Hart C2

Nice, welcome aboard Balwin

Sick wheels! Welcome

Make a trip to Indy!

Wow. Very nice stance on your car.

Thanks guys.

I think I might come to IA next year.

This year was just bad timing with a summer class and all. Also the car was not ready for a trip like that.

If I were to get any grille it would be the Wald or the Atlantic. All the other ones are meh to me.
