"The Midnight Rider"
My Car
**UPDATED 10/18/04**
Like, whoa. A lot of stuff has been happening since the last update, I've changed jobs, and just a lot of other stuff. Anyways, here's the good stuff, what's NEW!
The car now has almost 30,000 miles on it. I'm debating on taking it to the dealer to have the 30K mile service...or doing it myself!
Here's a list of current mods for ya:
KORE front strut bar
KSPEC "Racetech" rear strut bar
Shorty intake w/ Ractive heat shield cone filter(2.5" pipe)
Axel-back exhaust w/ dual bent tips
Custom clear bumper lights(replaced stock red and orange)
Swapped the transmission fluid from stock to Redline MT-90 synthetic
GE SBB Super white/blue headlight bulbs
Blue parking light bulbs in the headlights
Custom black vinyl taillights
Clear corner headlights
Next mod for sure:
Whiteline rear non-adjustable rear sway bar w/ polyurethane bushings
TWM short throw shifter
Whiteline non-adjustable front sway bar w/ polyurethane bushings
The reason I'm waiting to do the front sway bar is because it takes a helluva lot more work to install because engine components are in the way.
No update would be complete without pictures! Here's just a few to sample...

THE LUGE HAS ARRIVED!!!
Since 1997 my neighbor has been building a luge track in his yard. Since about 2001 I have been helping him out with it. this year was looking dismal to having one at all due to the lack of snow, but thanks to a dump truck and a Kubota tractor, we've got it going again! Official opening is February 19th(tomorrow) Go and check out the pics and leave me or John some feedback and ideas!
**UPDATED 10-7-03**
I put in some GE super bright headlights (tinted slightly blue) and some blue lights in the corners of the headlights. (they look green)
Here is a list of modifications I have currently:
Clear bumper lights(replaced stock red and orange)
GE SBB Super white/blue headlight bulbs
Blue parking light bulbs in the headlights
Custom black vinyl taillights
Clear corner headlights
Here is a list of modifications I have planned for the spring of 2004:
Front and rear strut bars from www.kspec.com
Axel back exhaust from www.mufflertech.com
Intake(custom made)
White rims(most likely 15" Montegi MR12's)with low profile tires
Different custom taillights. I want clear/white lensed ones like that were available for the older Accords. Do an Ebay search for Accord clear taillights and you'll see what I mean. Those will have to be custom made so it probably won't happen too quick, but count on it!
