I was a proud owner of a 1994 Honda Passport EX. But an unfortunate accident, where I slipped off the road due to black ice, left my sport utility in a totaled state and cut the ownership just short of three years. So I shopped around for a new car. Sense the German or any European Honda Dealerships do not offer the Passport. (In fact mine was the first one most of them have seen.) I decided to buy a 1997 Honda Accord LX Sedan 5 speed in the mystic blue pearl. U.S. specifications was a must to be able to bring it back into the States. I would not want to leave my masterpiece over here when I returned.
Customizing has been slow for the fact that I am a father of two and family comes first. Though, I have been able to change all my lights to the clear units, install a DC Sports’ front strut tower brace, add a custom headlight treatment, paint and install a GT-R Style rear spoiler and I've also been able to install an Advanced Engine Management cold air system. I can really tell the difference in the horsepower, and hear the difference in sound. It has a deep tone to it, especially at 115mph, remember I drive on the Auto Bahns. Some Neuspeed racing springs have arrived and they were installed a while ago. It handles like a dream, though it could be better. It will get better that is. The custom lettering from Modern Image Signworks for the windshield were just also installed with a short shift adapter from Neuspeed. I went to Las Vegas on a trip, actually for work reasons. There I picked up a VeilSide front bumper for my Accord. "How did I bring it back?" you might ask. Well, I have a really big carry-on bag that it fit in. Actually I brought it back with all my work equipment. Don't tell anyone. I’ve finally been able to install it after a couple of weeks of a trim here and cut there. It was well worth the time and effort, if you ask me.
I had to take a nice road trip down to Italy, after Christmas, for work reasons. Before I went on this eleven-hour road trip I had to upgrade the sound system, cause the stock stereo just wouldn’t do. A Kenwood head unit and Kenwood 10-disc changer would be in order.
This last Christmas was definitely a good one for me. Santa brought me my rims and tires. The set I’ve been dreaming of, 18” X 8” Typhoons from TR Motorsport rapped in Perelli rubber. P7000’s in the size of 215 x 40 x 18. Actually my girlfriend was the one responsible for the great gift. (Sorry guys she’s all mine, so don’t even think about it). Oh Yeah, I also got a 300 watt Kenwood Amplifier and two 12” Kenwood Subwoofers from her. “Thanks Beautiful.” As a treat to myself I purchased and installed a Rear Upper Strut-tower brace, a Focuz Exhaust with a 4 ˝” tip, and I also installed my Japanese side markers.
Later on in life I hope to install a full roll cage from Auto Power along with Sparco Sport Seats and five piont harnesses. Engine performence is a must, so when I get back to the States a complete rebuild is in order for D.P.R. and perhaps a Jackson Racing Supercharger for that extra boost of power.
