Me with my 2007 Spectra and the Accent

New Intake I custom fabricated with a hacksaw, some time, an accord intake, and love.




Looks so much better than:



Glad to ditch that crap.



Really needs wheel bearings, new rotors, and coil-overs. Car is desperate for some money but I lack fundage!

Not much of an update but my girlfriend thought the car was too loud so I got a silencer for it, and painted it.

Came out alright, here's the pics.

Painted headers blue, they chipped in less than a day



Installed Dual Remote Oil filter kit (uses 2 1 quart sized oil filters) and an Oil cooler



Also got an Ultra Gauge




Currently I have a set of EDC brake rotors

Waiting in the garage for install, some new door panels as well, and an Oil Catch can I need to install as well.


Future modifications I have planned so far include:

-Getting new O2 sensor bung for wideband a/f gauge
-Stage 1 N/a cam from RPW
-Replacing stock seats with low weight aftermarket ones
-Coilovers
-Urethane bushings


But first I need to get the wheel bearings replaced, as well as the drum brakes and install the new front brakes. The car is starting to wobble from side to side during turns and after 166 thousand miles its still got the original bushings and bearings.


Thanks for looking, feedback is wanted and appreciated whether positive or negative

As asked I polished my headlights.


Before Wash


After wash, rubbing compound, and wax:






Oil catch can:




Moved intake to be right next to transmission just inside wheel well area. Gets really great colder air and its very consistent according to the Ultra-gauge.

I used 3m rubbing compound on a rag and elbow grease. Usually hit it 2 or 3 times and it lasts like 2 months or so. This time around its been 4 months Still looks good.
