well. i get the feeling that its generally disliked...

... im gunna make a bold move and say i like it... photo shopped or not, it's pretty original (from what ive seen anyway) and i like how clean it is. however a good point is made with the transformer lookalike thingo...

cheers. James.

I am not so sure it is photoshopped. Custom hinges are not uncommon nowadays, neither are airbags. The back wheel is on a funny angle in the pics where it is dumped, but it looks consistant in all the pics. The shadows look ok to me, so I am not sure where that conculsion came from. I have looked at these pics trying to find inconsistancies, and I can't find any, which would be rather hard if all the pics were chopped.

If it is chopped, then it is a very good job, someone has put alot of work into it. If it is real, the owner needs a slap upside the head for doing that to a perfectly good Accord. Personally, I think it is real, someone has gone to alot of effort to make this a show car, but its appeal is limited. This is a good example of money not very well-spent.

yeh, i rkn this one is real. you can see the split in the bonnet in the 4th or 5th pic(s), add a couple of struts, that explains the bonnet. you can see the airbag setup in the boot (u can just see the 2 black tanks). the boot opening up like that has been done a million times, just hinges/struts. the door setup is just hinges, nothing special about that. other than that, i cant really see anything to make it seem as tho its been chopped. as has previously been said, there are some pretty crazy cars over there. anyone seen the 300ZX with 2JZ and massive single turbo setup?

Edited by VB-

think i'd rather have the VX commo in the background with the monaro style lights. the interior on the accord seems really tacky with the switches n pressure guage, considering they've gone so far with the outside of the car. looks like they've just used a self tapper through the woodgrain panels

dohhhhhhh :D

It's actually a deceptacon.

Moments after those photos were taken it turned into a pile of crap...or was that before?

I've spent a couple of weeks in the UAE here and there and the guys in that part of the world certainly have their own "style" :D . But in the end who cares, its mums 17 sec shopping trolley.

and now some dancing fruit!

Looks like the 'merican "niggoz" have to catch up somewhat. I dont mind looking at the stuff, but i'd never own it. unless I had Sheeetloads of money, even then it would be say, my 20th car. much nicer cars to spend that kind of money on! with, say, performance!

Gotta ask tho, what is the point? does it all boil down to impressing chicks? or impressing yo' boyz? which begs the next question....

Doesn't their religion teach to be conservative, & not so dam flashy & boastful with their money... & if it doesn't... well it f#cking should!

Yes Islam does teach to be humble, and not to be a spend thrift.

Unfortunately the Gulf boys have a problem with showing off.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
