Switching sides - DC2R over to Euro. Wise?

No people no! no modifications at all to this one. Its only going to stay stadard as, no intake, no exhaust, no upgrade to the stereo. Nothing.

I really want to keep this one mint, and save up for a house deposit so the only money being spent on this car will be the maintenance.

The reason i went with auto is for this type of car (accord, quiet, no really sporty - just comfortable) i didnt feel the need to go a manual, and as it was always intended to stay a nice cruisy cruiser - auto fits the bill perfectly. The more i drive the car the more i love it. Just looks a bit nana spec atm. Just a set of rims then its complete. AHHH and also a ozhonda sticker for support.

the wheels on the car look fine. no need to change.
in japan base model accord euros come with 15in steelies. so the 16 alloys we have is considered an upgrade for them.

Still trying to get photos. Been to busy driving it around! Just mucked around with the number plate holder at the front, cut it down and painted it. It has a factory towbar, so im trying to pull that off whenever i get the chance. Any pointers from anyone doing this before? Also does anyone want a factory towbar? lol

[sodhi90]

u need to remove your bumper, which is basicly 2 bolts some screws and clips and it pops off. takind tow bar off is self explanitory from there.

[Neesmo31]

Yeah thought it might be like that. PS does anyone have any pics of a accord euro with dc5r rims on it??

THanks all.

I've seen a few around, rims look too small and car looks too high!

[Neesmo31]

Yeah i think 17's or 18's may be on the cards - just trying to find out if i want to go jap looking rims or nice vip style. But not overboard like 20's or anything like that.

Hmmm tough decisions. I do like the euro sport rims in the 17's - if i could track down a set i would consider them. Paint them gloss white.

[iLlusion10]

Euro sport rims are always in high demand =]

[minircc]

i would have taken your factory towbar.
but unlikely given you are in QLD..lol

[Neesmo31]

Theres always transport? lol. But for now i just love it.

^ LIKE! ^

Welcome to the Accord Euro minty stockers club! I agree, mods for cars are too expensive. The car is exceptionally good straight from the factory. My car also has zero mods, and it's staying that way.

The 10 spoke and 9 spoke 17" rims do look better than the 16" 5 spokes, but the 5 spokes still look good and are part of the distinctive look of the earlier car.

They look a lot better in bright silver than they do in white, especially on a pearl white car. You can only really get away with white rims on a blue car, IMHO.
