Been a while since I've posted here, so I thought it was about time...

Don't mind the shit-tastic quality of the pics; I took them with my PnS this morning 5 minutes before I had to leave for work. Just wanted to get some pics of the cars up. It's been a while since I've been on so...

Specs on the Mach 1:

2004 DSG 5-speed Mach 1

Posi ported Eaton
63lb injectors
40 amp BAP
Cobra tank/pumps
LFP dual-pass HE
JLT intake
2.76" BF pulley and idlers
Cobra long-block
MGW short-shifter
And the list goes on...

Recent additions/mods are the drag radials out back and getting the rear fenders rolled.

The gf's car:
2008 Honda Accord EX-L
Factory stock. Six-speed manual, 3.5L, 19" wheels (factory). The only option available for it is navigation, and it has that too. :)
Also, the car only had 3200 miles on it when she bought it about 3 weeks ago.

Your Terminated Mach 1 is awesome. That's a given. But you know, I like your girlfriend's Accord Coupe. I actually just went to the Honda website and priced a 2010. Came to around $35K with those wheels and the navigation. Nice looking car. She got lucky with the mileage. 3,200 is just about factory fresh!

Yep. A few years ago I ended up with a free pair of Ford Racing coil covers; the chrome ones. I didn't particularly care for them on my car, so I had a place powder-coat them.

Originally what they looked like:

After powder-coating:

Oh I forgot about these pics;

Ok that second pic was HUGE. Removed...

Yeah I couldn't believe it. Apparently the guy owns 4 restaurants and he traded that and a 2010 STi in on a GT500.

She was originally looking for an Acura TL, but when this came through our dealership, she loved it. Plus she was looking for a stick. It worked out well. I absolutely LOVE the way the car looks. I'm not a big fan of Honda, but this car was too nice to pass up. :D

Nice pix.

Did you buy your Mach with those wheels on the car? I think I remember seeing a Mach like that for sale around the time I picked up mine..

Here's a quick 2nd gear pull from this evening, mainly to just capture the sound of the Eaton.

Also, Todd4566, I bought this car a little over 3 years ago. The previous owner is still on this site actually. 101blur is his sn. I picked it up in San Rafael area.

Reloaded,

Her accord coupe looks better then I thought. Are those wheels a factory option... ? Your Mach looks good too BTW.

Strangely enough, they are. I had to look at the door sticker and it gives the tire pressure and tire sizes for the 19" wheels. I have yet to see another one with these wheels. We just saw another one yesterday by where we live but it had the smaller silver wheels on it. I couldn't find much info about the wheels option online though.

And thank you. :D
