This feels like if Honda made an Accord Type R. I'm loving this project
They did make a Type R for non-US markets
3rd gen acura tl type s exists
they did make a accord type R CH1 for europe i have one in the uk and its a beautiful car with a beauty of an engine the H22a7
Well they did you just don't know😏
Euro R lol
When you said, you had to swap to stock to use the fender roller I was _screaming_ at you. Thanks for restoring my faith Caleb 😅. Looks awesome!!
I was the same "What's the point of coil overs?"
I literally bought a 6-6 accord a few months ago and you are such an inspiration to me I’m so happy to have a modern TH-cam series about these accords, thank you
I love my ‘05 Accord V6 6-speed. Lowered on Tein coilovers and Enkei RPF1 17x8. Smooth ride and dumped like a proper JDM sleeper
Agreed, I have a 6-6 Sedan and I'm in love with it and this video series
ive always used manual impact drivers on those rotor screws and never stripped one, even living on the east coast with salty roads in the winter time
I’ve used two hammers. Ball peen end on the screw head and hammer a few times. Loosens up easily afterwards.
thats the right tool for this job imo ✌
Normal Phillips won’t work because Honda uses JIS screws. The way you’re supposed to remove the screws is with a Japanese industrial standard impact screwdriver. The Honda dealer service centers use them and they seem to work every time
I honestly think your problem is the Acceleras, they’re terrible tyres, when I worked at a tyre fitting garage we used to change so many of them under warranty for feathering on the inner edge and sidewalls cracking around the bead after sometimes only weeks. Stopped selling them in the end. Looking forward to the front and rear Brembo caliper upgrade, OEM+
yeah I mean if there's something you should never cheap on, it's tires. This shit can save your life.
It's been tested several times, the worst tire brands can more than double your breaking distance. Don't be cheap on tires, especially when big proven brands provide options than are not that much more expensive then chinesium crap
You could not be more wrong, acceleras are awesome
It's definitely those cheap Indonesian made tires. This is why you only see them on very small TH-cam channels because they'll " understandably" take any sponsor they can get.
@@GenkiElite you goobers have never run acceleras and it shows
@@DingDongDrift They're not real tires
Now supercharge that J30 V6!
Yes please!!! Or J37 swap it. Or both!!!
J32 type-s swap definitely. Best J series ever made
@@SanProsan1993 indeed!
@@parkerbethke I’d love to see that too
@@SanProsan1993I don't think swapping the engine is worth it, you shouldn't need more than what you can get from this in a daily. It'll just end up being a lot of work for potentially worse results
High end parts, properly installed and tuned for performance not looks, not RICED, that’s a w car respect.
Caleb to keep those rotor screws from stripping grab an impact screw driver and just hammer it out. Harbor frieght sells one for cheap ive been using for the past few years with 100% success!! No more drilling them out lol
All fresh bushings and inner/outer tie rods and ball joints makes a world of difference alone. I was selling these when then were new off dealer floor, and they felt insanely buttery and confidence inspiring back then when fresh. Wheel bearings too! (set magnet side down if applicable on floor overnight and put a couple drops of used motor oil on the non magnetic side, by the morning they become the smoothest bearings you've ever felt)
400 treadwear and ultra high performance is an oxymoron.
It's more about the fact it's a very cheap all season. My boi keeps cheaping out on the tires. A Continental ExtremeContact DWS, Pilot Sport All Season 4, Falken FK460 or Pzero All season would blow the heck out of these tires. And many of those will still do 50K miles. That's just advanced silica compounds today.
Also he could have put an actual summer, not much difference tbh when you live in Georgia
Yeah those accelera tires are absolute garbage lol
@@ignasanchezl I've got the Falken FK460s on my car (FWD, ~300hp) and they are great. I previously had Continental Extreme Contact Sports, their UHP summer tire. I can definitely tell a difference in sidewall stiffness, the Falken are softer. At least in my application I am not struggling at all for traction in acceleration or braking, 30 rolls etc. They are significantly cheaper than the continentals too
I am currently rocking the Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02's and they are AMAZING. Taking the infamous Cali exits at 50 MPH and feeling so much confidence while doing it is something you have to experience. If you don't know about the Cali exits, They're basically on/offramps that are a near 360° turn and the limit on them is anywhere from 15mph to 25mph.
I can not recommend these tires enough. They out perform the Pilot Sport 4S' and after having them on for 20k miles, the "W" for wet road conditions is barely worn down.
The only real problem I've had with them is how easily they hydroplane at high speeds, but you would be hard pressed to find a tire in its bracket that performs comparably.
Hey, I own a 2001 CL Type S. If you are looking to get rid of the boat feeling, the best recommendation I can give you is the rear sway bar. The 24mm from Progress for the 05-08 TL is interchangeable with your car. Best mod I’ve done on the car.
Eagerly awaiting the track day video. There’s is a criminally small amount of videos of people doing track events in modified Accords.
7th Gen Accord Coupes are so good-looking. It is standing the test of time. 20 Years old and still looking good!!
Wrap the center armrest suede as well, since it looks a little worn. Great build though, car looks amazing.
my 7th gen sedan was tucking 18x8.5 esr cs15s on 215/35 tires, no camber arms or anything, just natural camber in from being low. these cars are amazing for stance related builds bc theyre easy to adjust
What is ur wheel offset ?
@@jtpmp2bc25hp +35
Part of what made the 0-60 slower is that brand new tires take a decent amount of miles to reach their peak traction, you'll probably see better times after driving for a bit
13:04 I couldn’t agree more, not having to brace yourself for a loose or sloppy suspension can quite literally transform the entire feeling of a car.
12:39 ptsd from the fc rx7
Yup, the tie rod ends will do it. I replaced all my mounts and *still* had this vibration under acceleration from 50-65, which I thought was transmission mounts being old. It was improved by replacing them, but not 100% gone. Just got new inner and outer tie rod ends, and now it's gone.
Look into the tl swap! the j32a3 and the tl trans(l.s.d) drops right in and you can use the stock harness repinned with a tl ecu. Big jump in power and a rare swap not often done.
Love the vibe of this video man feels like we are hanging out in the shop with you
Engine mount inserts will help the 0-60 and handling so much you wouldn't believe! And those acellera phi tyres are proper nasty, budget tyres, I wouldn't expect better traction
12:40 “it’s also a little scary because i feel like i forgot to tighten something” Bro is having flashbacks to the wheel falling off of the RX7 at the old shop😭😭
You did a great job on that steering wheel cover and I really respect that you went with 18s cuz I see so MANY people throw 20s on and I KNOW they’re sacrificing ride quality for “looks”. Great video!!!
I currently dont have a car, and I've been ubering to and from work. I've been trying to find an accord v6, and they are all terrible condition. You really hit a jackpot with this one. Not to mention the tasteful mods being applied. It is truly going to be an amazing daily for you! I recommend the 3.7 intake manifold and Throttle body. Will help with some power gains and better mpg, plus they look better.
Maybe consider Acura options, there will obviously be turds but there will be some diamonds in the rough, potentially a TSX or TL might fit the bill for you
Get a cheap car so you can save money on Ubers and increase your budget. I highly suggest a 98-02 accord 4cyl. Cheap af does not care how clapped it is it'll run and gets good gas milage. Then you can save and find a mint 6+6 accord
@tmlmagee I do have TL type S but really craving this accord as a daily just because it's not well known what they can do.
@kingbryant5673 sounds like a banger idea, actually !
I have 1 for 6k 100k miles same color. DC area
Finally someone showing love to the older accords ❤
Love this build
im actually building an 8th gen close to just like this, these videos will be awesome to look back on when it comes time for my mods. Feel free to make these longer and show more in depth about things you think would be nice for someone going to be tackling the project as well, I would not complain!
I have the exact same model im building. I can appreciate your attention to detail and the potential of this car. I look forward to seeing what changes you’ll make. Its looks amazing. Keep up the great work.
Ultra High Performance all season... haha never heard more crap in my life...
I mean I think he lives in either Georgia or Florida. Either way it doesn’t snow here so he could just ditch all seasons. I remember seeing his cars listed near me on fb marketplace
running an all-season tire in the south is diabolical
@StanleyKubick1 I run them during winter to prevent my summer tires to getting cold. They will start to Crack if that happens. It's also snowed the last 2 years in tx.
@@caboose6411 Not just about snow, lots of manufacturers have a minimum temperature rating for the safety of the rubber regardless of road conditions. I had continental ECS for 2 winters on my car and saw 20 degrees F many times without issue, but they definitely can crack. Look up summer tires cracking in the winter
@@caboose6411 You can't be Ultra high performance and be all season. Either you are a winter tyre or a summer tyre. But compromise is never ultra high performance.
Man you are making me miss my old 6-6, had a 2006 silver coupe back in college. Broken AC and the head unit didn't work at all (very common apparently), sold if before I really knew how to work on things sadly
One thing Ive learned with coilovers is that the recommended spring rates are already going to be stiffer than any boaty stock ride. If anything, I drop the spring rate down like 1 or 2k and upgrade to swift springs and you can get a great ride thats still plush enough for a daily driver and stiff enough for some spirited driving.
Second, your slower time could just be due to those tires no being that great but also if the wheel and tire setup is taller than what was on there, you are basically putting a taller final drive gear ratio on the car. That could make it a little slower as well.
i’ve always liked accords and especially this generation. and seeing you make this thing so goddamn perfect is putting some dangerous thoughts in my brain… i need to have one
God this series brings me back to the 2000s, slowly building up your car week by week.
I'm a corpo office drone now, and this makes me want to go out and buy a 20 year old Honda 😅
East Detailing does similar stitch on steering wheel covers, but they’re higher quality and more customizable imo. They are a little pricier, but very well worth it for their durability and overall quality.
I love the suede steering wrap that appeared midway through the video. Looks great with the interior!
That's such a cool looking car dude, keep making these videos me and my brother really enjoys these.
I think you need to raise it to allow the springs to have some compression over bumpers so it doesn’t bottom out. Lower doesn’t always mean better. I do the 2 finger method or as close to it as possible. I have that same spring rates on my Mazda3 and I don’t bottom out over bumps or rub. Car looks great! Loving this series!
Pretty much every part on my wishlist for my 7th Get Accord. Minus the wheel setup, love this series 🔥
Love how the wheel hop nearly became non-existent.
I bought a 2007 Hyundai Tucson V6 4x4 and part of the basic steering wheel plastic was damaged. I ordered on ebay a leather wrap for the steering wheel, similar to what you added to your accord. My Tucson was blue and the stitching I got for mine was a very similar blue...
The Stitching... Yup... Huge slow time consuming pain in the ass that is. Took me like 5 hours. But it made the wheel so much more comfortable and fixed it's visible and feel issues.
Besides that, that is one gorgeous looking accord. Just an amazing car. (Unlike my Tucson... which while being reliable, the only way it could have been cool is if could have been optioned with the 6MT of the Tiburon)
I think all of the parts add it makes it like a lot better add a tasteful. The steering wheel cover looks good I don't know how it looks in person but on video looked really nice
I’m loving this build🔥🙌🏾 moving in the same direction with my TSX.
That “Gaaawwdddayyuumm” sold me 😂🙏💯 I have a 03 6-6 accord as well and I appreciate you showing us some good parts ! Will be using the same coilovers for sure !
That time lapse at 4:50 was sweet.
Replace the lower control arms with superpro lowers. All polyurethane bushing including the compliance bushings. It will help with the grip issue.
Love the content on this car . As much as I love the complicated fabrication projects this is much more relatable to normal people with limited tools and skills . Just keep the projects rare and old jdm 👌
So good to see you not going with a black wheel finally! This looks amazing
Enjoyed u working on accord
Just got me 04 accord V6 6spd.
Going to be fixing up.
Gave me great ideas.
Suspension looks similar to my old rsx. Suggest polyurethane lower control arm bushings.
Gets off line way better no wheel hop keeps tires planted.
Only bottom'd out once, we can go lower. 😂
My work shoes for over this past year has been a pair of Brunts. They've been great as its very cool to see they sponsored this video.
The only cons (or FYIs) to note are they are not breathable (so your feet get very sweaty after a long day) and I'd recommend regularly changing out the insoles (as they wear out fast if you use them everyday).
Despite those two things, I'd definitely by them again. They are super durable and fairly light with their synethetic protection system (vs having steel heel and toe protection).
My pair have seen hard work over this past year, where I'm thinking I'll at least get another two before having to consider replacing them.
Love watching the build. I had the same car in 05 for my very first car. Definitely feeling a bit nostalgic watching this build series and making me want to get another.
Best looking cleanest most tasteful and best sounding Honda I ever witnessed
Drilling out *that* set screw on the rotors is so relatable xD
This car is really nice, it's an OEM+ dream... Maybe a red honda badge for the steering wheel could tie together the interior?
It looks like it needs a trans mount bc the tires shift so much or maybe engine mounta
This gen of accord is one of my favorites
Koings are amazing got a set on my 07 civic coupe, nicest wheels I've ever had
I had the same fender roller and I cut the square tube so it was shorter and it worked great with just that extra ½"
This car is so similar to the 05 6-6 that I had. I also had Bc coils with swift springs and the full HFP kit
Preloading suspension with the e brake would definetly help with the launch
Love this series! Love the car choice!
this is my fav car series on youtube !
You gotta paint the headlight housings black....the chrome is killing it imo. sick daily accord man.
L take lol. Looks great with the headlights
Everything looks dope but all seasons are mind boggling
First, Love how the accord in coming along. I also own an accord, a 95 coupe. Mountain biking is my second biggest passion after and sometimes before cars. Oh and also live in GA. If you decide to make mountain biking content, I'm down to watch.
This thing is coming along nice. Love it!
you should put some red seatbelts in. kinda like the trd camry has. i think itll contrast very well with the red honda logos, and red konig center caps.
East Detailing does steering wheel wraps as well, their suede option is much darker. They can also do alcantara. I did the suede with yellow stitching and yellow center marker and it looks great aside from the fact that I'm ass at sewing
You didn't ruin it. You made it better. Nice work.
Brother you need some pilot sports or continental dws ‘s. Knce those tires warmed up you got alot of wheel Hop so maybe some stiffer motor mounts as well. Id also recommend getting the suspension professionally tuned. Nothing beats those lasers man.
New tires are the best bang to buck mod you can enjoy!
literally the best accord. glad to see the j series accord coupe getting sum much deserved tlc
I bought a 2013 cr-z 6 speed manual that I picked up a couple weeks ago that the plan is to k-swap in the future.. as soon as I find an 8th gen si engine and transmission for it.
Good luck bud
Luv the look of this generation accord, especially from the rear
Loving this build! When you blow out the ball joints on the TruHarts please be sure to share with us what you do for a replacement. Mine lasted ~6k miles.
Looking at the wheel spin shots, you should take some camber out. Look at the smoke, and you'll notice the outer block isn't really doing anything.
You are making my teen dream car. KEEP SENDING IT💯
Wheels remind me of dc5 integra wheels, they look great!
Tyre fitter here. Accelera tyres are among the worst tyres I ever laid my eyes on. Even the entry-level Continentals would do a better job. I know, budget matters, but one thing the car owner should NEVER skimp on, that's tyres. They are the only thing touching the road and they are the ULTIMATE determiners of your cars performance in every category: acceleration, braking, handling, road noise. Also if overall weight of the wheel assembly (rim, tyre, balancing weight, centre-bore locating ring) is bigger than factory wheels (Accelera tyres aren't the lightest things out there and can offset weight saving of the rotary-forged rims), it'll blunt your acceleration. Finally, the front-wheel-drive car needs softer front springs and dampers to make the front squat down more on acceleration and force tyres into the road.
Love everything else you've done to the car.
I had a problem with floating feeling on my accord when cornering and changed the front sway bar bushings with factory ones and rear with polyurethane. After that, the car feels a million times better. So maybe yours are all ready shot, especially if they are the ones that come with the car from the factory. The front ones are pain to change, but it woth the time.
Hey Gingium, I'm pretty sure you have a Honda Accord with the limited HFP kit. That kit comes from factory with that bodykit, and the "carbon" interior. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that's true (same thing for the early 2000s EP3s that had a HFP kit).
Love the channel, your Fit series convinced me to also get one, GE8 though👌
0:13 described my ex girlfriend
ayooo
Bro...
Wild lol 😂❤
Love this project Caleb, big fan of yours
I have an 04 2door v6 6mt ex-l with nav; I can tell you now is the time to change the timing belt and check valve clearance, specifically the intake side; they are well know to get tight, other than that the clear coat Honda did during the early 2000’s is shit, other than that it’s a great car, mine is sitting at 139k; with no issues, except that clear coat……
Been checking back every day waiting for a new upload
u made me like this car. i'm typically a 90's honda guy but this accord looks to good!
I was waiting for this video! Very nice upgrades as usual, hope there is more to come!
Love the vids, happy to see more of bikes in the future vids,maybe a small road trip vid like mcm style
Peeping the upgrade on your mountain bike!
Had some truharts on my old 6th gen. They are awesome
If you haven't already, you should do the check valve mod for the clutch slave cylinder.
those brunt boots actually look pretty good
This man NEVER misses on wheel choice
I have a 16 V6 coupe , auto unfortunately but always enjoyed these cars, nice content man 👌
You should be good with 8k in rear, they usually tend to be way too soft in the rear on the Accord, Tsx & TL.
2:01 I felt that. I hate those rotor screws
A red brembo caliper would be a great final touch.
I love this Accord series, i myself own a 2003 accord 6-6 Fbo tuned on flashpro. Recently did the 06-07 rear end conversion which was a must since it look much better, also have the BBK on too, stoppin power is on point.
Yours is coming out real clean cant wait until you boost it. that will be my next move soon, keep them Accord videos coming!! 💪🏽
You went with the acura RL brake caliper?
@@paulhance1984yessir RL calipers
You’re gonna want to install camber kits in the rear also. Helps with tire wear
Gotta love the white croc
