Got our camera back from Cannon repair today. One of the pins got bent down where the memory card goes in so I couldn't use it. Cost a fair amount to fix as they have a flat rate service but got it fixed. Anyway decided to go out and take some pictures of the cars to test it out. I washed and waxed the car today and changed the oil so here are some pictures.

It's a 2006 Honda Accord V6 6speed manual. It has leather heated seats, xm radio, pretty much everything except the Navigation system. The V6 6speeds come pretty loaded without having to add any options. As in you can't get them without this stuff. We didn't get the navigation as we got a portable Garmin Nuvi where we can use it in all the cars instead of just that one.

We bought it new and had the first two oil changes at the dealer and since then it's had only Royal Purple oil in it.
It's pretty much stock. The only mods are a K&N drop in air filter. Was easier as this you can wash and reuse instead of replacing.

Royal Purple oil as stated above.

USA Spec Ipod adapter. This is the one the OEM Honda sites sell I assume it's what you'd get from the dealer if you paid for the ipod hookup. So you should just call this stock. I just bought it and installed it as it was a lot cheaper for me to do so and well, I can install stuff like this pretty easily.

Garmin Nuvi 350 GPS that moves from this car to others depending on where I need it.

The only other mod I can think of is Farenheit hi beam headlights. The low beams are still stock.


After driving this thing and then getting in the truck it feels like I got on a moped. This thing is soo much faster it's not funny. At 40mph you can put it in 2nd and just hit the gas and it will spin the tires not touching the clutch. It's probably the fastest Honda I've ever been in all while getting 34-35mpg on a good day if you do mixed driving and drive it easy. As in not spinning tires.






What do you guys think?




Well, since this is a Dodge forum I had to throw in some pictures of the truck even though it's dirty.
I think you guys know most of the mods on here already. If not just ask and I can tell you. The only thing pictured here that I'm not sure if you guys knew about before is I took the APC Super White blue turn signal bulbs out and put in Sylvania Silverstar ones in. The APC's were blue when off and lit up about the color or the blueish whitish headlights when lit. They were a little hard to see in the day though. They look blueish when off with just a hint of amber at angles but that's really hard to see which I really like but light up amber. After getting a ticket for having an equipment violation it made me more cautious so I decided I should put legal bulbs in there so that I didn't get stopped for those someday.


Oh, and that cable next to the radio is for a Ipod to be hooked up. I routed it there so I can sit the ipod in that pocket. I have 2 remotes to the radio so I keep one in that pocket and one in the flip out ashtray thing.

 

ummm....thats dirty?

 

"while getting 34-35mpg on a good day" i like this part... i wish my truck was as dirty as yours then i wouldn't wash it

 

Yeah it has some leaves on the hood and maybe the bed cover too not sure. Also had some dirt and dust all over it when you get up close. Also has some rock chips and rubber on the paint behind the rear tires which you can't really see in the pictures and some scratches when you get really close but honestly to me It's not in bad shape just not 100% perfect.

 

it has some leaves on the hood......LMAO I think ive got a lake in the back of my truck with beer can boats floating around in it

 

its hard to beat those hondas. run forever.

 

Yup we have a 96 also with 240k miles on it still going strong. Has had less problems than my truck in it's 106k mile life. Also probably been beat on a lot harder.

The 06 pictured has not quite 40k miles on it.

Then also have a 1994 Chevy Caprice Classic you can see in one of the pictures in the garage. It was given to me as a gift and has 58k miles on it.
