yep 1000 dollars
and i agree about the whole driving thing. Im only 20 miles from tokyo but if i drove there it would take about 2 hours and like 35 bucks in tolls. its crazy
its better just to take the train for 3 bucks

 

great way to promote public transportation, isn't it? if big cities in america had more developed public transportation, i'd say jacking up tolls like crazy would have the same effect. california, on the other hand, is hopeless.

i probably wouldn't want to drive in the heart of tokyo anyway. aren't the parking spots expensive, too? i have a friend that used to drive a 2nd gen legend in tokyo, but sold it strictly because the parking spot (at his apartment) would have been almost as much as rent.

anyways, i'd suggest you start off by either lowering the car and getting authentic black housing headlights and corners. they should be a lot easier to find in japan! let us know how much you can get them for, too. i want to know how much people selling them on ebay are really making... the black housing headlights will make your car look a lot more aggressive. lowering should be obvious, but i guess it depends on the road conditions where you live. i know in taiwan, where the roads are terrible everywhere you go, i would NEVER lower a car - or at the MOST a 1" drop. the car would sustain way too much damage for it to be worth it.

after you've saved up enough money, for sure try to find an H22 engine and swap it in there. they should be much easier and cheaper in japan as well.

 

So what do you have in your right hand drive accord? is it a jdm accord sir?

I love the lift kit you have on it.

needs a drop and some new rims but first go with a drop cus that color looks nice on that car. Build your way up from there.. thats pretty much how I did it. great find for 1 g

 

im mos def gonna give her a drop but i dont think im gonna be switchin up the rims in the near future, 17's are good enough for me maybe a lower profile tire. thanks for the input

 

looks pretty decent, nice and clean. i like the rims too. huge pics though. at least for me, its easier to see the whole car and see how everything flows when the pics are a bit smaller. as for input on what to do, it all depends on what you want, i.e. looks v. power v. handling v. audio. etc

 

forgot to add...i'll trade my USDM rear door garnish for yours :chuckles:

get firefox and then get the Zoom Image extension

 

what generation accord is this ?

 

Your car is a 5th generation, 1st or 2nd year. The boddy style changed starting in the 3rd year, double tail lights being one of the changes.

It needs to be lowered, H&R OE Spring (.75) or Eibach ProKit (1.5) depending on your tastes.

It's pretty cool talking to someone in Japan!
