Dear Stance Nation,

Long Story short...
Back in 2003 when i was 16, one of my cousin bought a Black Accord Euro, lowered it and had 18inch Luftdrag VIP wheels.
When i first saw his car, i fell in love with it instantly, told myself "One day.. i will work hard and buy one."
Bought a used Silver Accord Euro in 2006, 2003 model. Kept it stock for awhile, then 2 years later..

Suspension: TEIN Flex Coilovers.

Wheels: Enkei RPF1 Type RC 2 Piece Wheel 18x8.5 +42 with 15mm Spacers and 18x9.5 +42 with 25mm Spacers






In 2009 i had to sell the car as I was trying to save up for a deposit on a house.... i lost my pride and joy.

FOR SALE =(


25th April 2011 on my 24th Birthday, my Aunt knew how much I loved my car and bought me a Black Mocha 2007 Accord Euro Luxury (which is the facelift model) with Navigation.

THanks guys, yes i am counting down the days until my Air suspension arrives..

Need your opinion on a set of nice VIP wheels for my accord euro. What wheels should i get and what size? Can you guys post some wheels pics you'd recommend.

I might try on the wheels ive got at the moment once the sussy is installed and looking to sell the wheels soon after that and buy a new set.

Cheers

heres more info on the D2 Air suspension I ordered.

With this system, it's able to adjust the ride height of the four suspensions
individually.
Each air bag has its own pressure value which enables to advance the
performance of handling.
This is a complete kit with the most excellent dampening setting to match up
properties of pneumatic springs in order to increase the vehicle’s stability, unlike
other brands come with non adjustable shock absorbers which cause the vehicle to
be bouncy and unstable during cornering. Besides, modifying upper mounts, cutting
car body or welding the OEM shock to the vehicle are not required when installing
our products.
Not only is this system allowed to change air pressure, but you can also adjust the
maximum and minimum ride height freely to match up a body kit to get the desired
ride height, which is one of our products features that other brands do not have.
This product includes a full set of shock absorbers. It is at your option to replace air
bags with 4 x coil springs to make a full set of shock absorbers once an air
management system is not fitted. (PS. The high performance shock absorbers
supplied with this kit are dampening and ride height adjustable).
This system is designed for easy bolt-on so it is not required to work with the O.E.M
shock absorbers.
This system is 36-level dampening adjustable, ride height adjustable, and includes
upper mounts in the fronts and rears. The McPherson strut comes with pillow ball
top mounts which have ability to adjust the camber degree.
You can choose the types of top mounts freely such as pillow ball top mount,
aluminum top mount, rubber top mount, and rubber with pillow top mount.
This system comes with a high-pressure, mute and rotational speed compressor
from a famous brand called AZ. The speed of pumping the airbag is the fastest in
the world. It takes only 3.5 minutes for 2 compressors to pump a 20L tank
0~200psi. Unlike other brands plates make such a loud noise, each compressor
comes with 4 snubbers and high-tech silencers to decrease noise suppression.
Also, a tire pressure gauge can be connected to the air tank to fill your tires; the air
pressure in the tank is sufficient for the tire pressure gauge.
A pneumatic tool can be connected to the air tank as well to clean the exterior of
your vehicle, the air pressure in the air tank is sufficient for the pneumatic tool.
You can adjust the ride height with such ease while in the car. The ride height can
be adjusted all the time to reach your desired height depending on the load of your
vehicle.
A pressure gauge supplied with this kit shows the vehicle ride height. Adjusting the
vehicle ride height is allowed when the vehicle is in motion.
The adjustment range of ride height is between 0 – 120/200mm. (based on different

applications)
The speed of lowering and raising vehicle ride height is 2-5 seconds only.
This kit comes with 8 x solenoid valves and 1 x remote control which allow you to
adjust the ride height while in or out of the car.
OLED wireless memory remote control can display the air tank and 4 front/rear
pressure value. It will automatically modify the value while driving.
There is no complex wire setting; Fast installation within 2 hours.
This kit comes with two remote controls, one is with LED and full function and the
other is with simple version.
The additional function for this system is to display, show-off or hookup.
The high performance shock absorbers supplied with this kit has 36 levels of .
adjustable dampening, and the dampening is set up specifically for better sport
handling.
Available for 4 ride height memories.
No need to install pressure gauge and switch and can protect the car interior
design.
Warning signal for deficient tank pressure on remote control.

Memory for engine start and automatically orient ride height on remote control.

Wire setting easy for installation and only need to connect the affirmative and
negative electricity.
All parts are collected in the monitor box (as attached) so you won’t see messy
wires and parts.
One touch function. Simply by one press, you can adjust to your ride height. (In
previous version, you need to press the buttons for a long time and will cause bad
connection.)
Power save device (sleeping mode)

Battery change unnecessary (charged by USB).

Function setting for speeding and exhausting.
Lovely design, lightweight volume, tank, remote control monitor and integral motor

Hi guys,

Just picked up my car from the mechanic about 2 weeks ago now and took some pics of my first Mod.


The magic box..







Car dropped.



Messy boot.



Mounted the tank


Compressor


The Module, this is where all the hoses connect to. everything gets controlled from this box. No gauges or hoses going into the cabin. Controlled wirelessly by remote.



Tidying up the boot









The under tray and the exhaust is touching the floor, but the side skirts isnt.

I haven't replaced my bald and lumpy stock tyres ever since i bought the car. Today i finally got a day off and decided to head down to Costco and replaced all four tyres.

I bought a set of 4 Bridgestone Potenza RE002 tyres from Costco at $240.99 each. Includes free balancing, rotation and tyre puncture repair for the life of the tyres.

I was going to get tyres for my 20inch, got quoted $130 for a no brand tyre. but i decided not to, since my camber kit has not arrived yet and still havent rolled my guards. I'm actually liking the looks of the 17inch for now, so i might stick with them for a little longer until I can afford a nice set of tyres for my 20s.





Satisfy the sports driver in you with the next-generation
Adrenalin. With outstanding performance, unbelievable
cornering and improved traction in the wet and the dry, the
RE002 gives you that exceptional feeling of being in harmony
with the road.


The new Potenza Adrenalin RE002 features Bridgestone's latest technology including:
- Centre Rib: the new rib design replaces the original tyre's centre groove wall, delivering better feel and handling response;
- Wide offset Rib: for better handling response and turning performance;
- Combination block: boosts rigidity, suppresses deformation and gives more direct handling and stronger grip;
- Groove wall reinforcement: for strengthened lateral rigidity and more direct handling feel;
- Three-groove design: one less groove than the RE001 gives improved dry-handling performance;
- Silica-based compound: improves wet weather handling and rolling resistance;
- Pulse groove: motorsport-inspired wave design for better drainage and anti-hydroplaning performance; and
- Deflector: raised protrusions on the groove floor also help improve drainage and help prevent hydroplaning.
