Hey guys. New car means new build thread!

Just picked up this 1995 honda accord wagon
Its got 156000 miles
Automatic
F22b1 motor

Its been repainted by the old owner. Its now red with metallic flakes.
Previous owner also put air struts on it.


As nice as it looks, it has problems. All the wiring/airlines will be stripped out an reaced/rerouted.

Here is my starting point

All up:


All down:

That looks like a nice start!

Can't wait to see what you do with this

Needs tint and wheels


I would tint the rear windows tho. I'm not a fan of fishbowl wagons.

[Dsfaxon]

I have a 3 year old, so it will definatly be tinted!

As for wheels, ive been playing around with the idea of tuck vs. poke.

I test fit some 17x7.5 +40, with 215/40/17 tires today.

Is it just me or do they look small?

(sorry for the shitty pictures. I only fit the rear one on.








Honestly, im thinking that something like the xxr 527's, 18x9.5 would be the best option.

Any opinions? Im not spending a ton of money on wheels... So dont give me that work, bbs, ccw shit.

Fishbowl wagons are awesome But this accord looks like it was made to be tinted unless it had a more metallic paint like

I'm glad to see you here on S|W... Accord Wagon

[Dsfaxon]

That blacedan with the 17's was one of the main reasons i wanted to get an
Accord!!!! I love that car! It pulls off 17's like a boss.

[Dsfaxon]

im thinking about getting these... since they dont offer them in 4x114 for 18's.. id have to swap to 5 lug.

[Nick475]

He wants them in 18s the biggest size in 4x 114 is 17x9.75

[milano_red]

Those are nice wheels. Regardless of xxr or not

[Dsfaxon]

yes. if i wanted to get the 18x9.75 id have to do a 5 lug conversion. so now i think im going to just settle for the 17's. =/

also. valves are being shipped out today. =]

[Nick475]

17's should still look good

5X114.3 adapters? Way more options for big wheels in the long run!

Honestly, i **** adapters.

I had a mk4 jetta with corvette wheels.

5x100 to 5x120.65

I ***** having adapters. I like to have wheels that just fit. Ya know?

[Dsfaxon]

So. I finally have a working stereo!! Haha. I missed having music!

Also, got to looking at my suspension and realized i had different tires front to back.

Fronts were 195/65/15
Rears were 195/60/15


Swapped them around, and the car sits more level!

Judging by this, i may be thinking doing a staggered fitment? Smaller tires in front, bigger in back.

Ill post more pictures tomorrow so you guys can see.

[Dsfaxon]

Old



New



Overall about the same height, but the wagon is lower.

[laurelhallman]

Can't wait to see what you do with this

[NorCalFocus]

Stagered wheels would be sick. But I'd go wider in the back and narrower in the front.

[Chuckdee]

This is gonna be an interesting project! I wanna see how those 17's will sit with those bags on. Any plans for the exterior for the car?

I dont think sunk 17's will look good at all..

As for the exterior, ive been looking at vip bodykits and stuff. I might got hat route. One thing i know for sure. I will have this wing.



There isnt a whole lot else to do outside. Its got a shaved antena, the whole thing has been repainted. Maybe new bumpers? Haha. Ill take interior pics tonight.

I'm digging this.

If you want to go 5-lug I've got it figured out, the hard part will be finding all the needed parts at the junkyard. Everything is available through Honda at the parts counter, but its' serious $$$.
