Accordracing's CD7 build thread

[accordracing91]

I wana delete my abs but im afraid to. Pros & cons? Im sure its been discussed many a times but i hate reading so many diff views on it so i'll ask here instead.

Pro's, no failing ABS, no huge ass modulator in the bay and no fugly lines running on the shock tower. Basically like driving a LX/DX.

Con's have to redo the front lines, change the proportionning valve, bleed the brakes and hope you dont have leaky lines.

Im sure w/ a lil heat that you can bend that fork back on the strut.

They are gas shocks, i don't want to approche heat on the shock plus, it even says so on the shock.

And ive been doing some research lately on the 5 lug conversion. Try to follow me on this: The Odyssey has the same wheel bearing as or cars, correct? So that means that the odyssey 5 lug hub will press right into it, correct? So w/ those 2 pieces pressed together, wouldnt that bolt directly to the accords setup eliminating the need to replace the WHOLE spindle like everyone does?! Seems a lil easier to me.

No the Oddy bearing isn't the same design as our Accord bearings.

LOL my bad Ralph. I was just waking up.

They are SS's, if you need to know they are Liams/Velocifero's old set-up. Driven 4x4 status so i know they are in good condition.

When I read that they were Velo's old setup, I instantly thought of what you typed thereafter.

Looks the same to me

Not the same part number, and the Oddy bearing is bigger.

And you will need a Oddy hub, which in the end will cost you more then if you get the whole spindle. In the USA they go for 45$ each side, that makes 90$ and you have your fronts. If you decide to spend more on new bearings and balljoints, thats up to you. All i'd replace is the Ball-joint.

Naw im not doing a 5 lug swap. Was just curious about their bearing setup to ours. Thanks for clarifying tho.

Nah. Not my style unfortunatly

[I drink V8]

Good! Its just another trend. That's why I went copper instead. Makes them not as bright cause its not reflective paint but I don't use my highs very often anyway. Lovin the progress Chris.
