Winter mode with Blizzak WS80s.

Purchased and mounted by Drivehard Performance--thanks REVscene sponsor!



Winter square set up. Such a sunken look for the rear wheels.

This car isn't anything special, however this Accord platform means quite a lot to me. My dad had one since I was born and had it up until I was 14 years old - whom was ready to inherit it and swap in an H22... spending all his life savings on the JDM specific goodies for this car.

A family friend who was immigrating here to start a new life needed a car asap so that she could bring her kids to school, thus letting the car go at 340,000KMS - crushing my dreams.

Eventually I bought a 6 series E24 when I was 15 (20 now) - I've had it since, but unfortunately it was written off when my newly licensed brother got into an accident and totalled it.

Here is the replacement... A one owner, 1993 5 speed coupe at 19,560 original KMS. It was auctioned off at an estate sale when the 95 year old owner, whom was a doctor, passed away. It was tucked away in his West Van condo parking lot (Full of exotics Lol.)



As much as I would love to put in proper suspension and swap in a Euro R H22, I just want to get all the OEM JDM goodies for the car - keeping it original. Perhaps some nice Mugen period correct wheels would be a nice touch. Feels kind of wrong to molest it with track spec / aftermarket upgrades.

edit: Found some random Vancouver accord pics I took when I was like 13 Lol. Some familiar cars: RonaldType-R and 604_CB7 's Accords

^Quite the story! Enjoy the car. That mileage is insane, I suppose the owner's office wasn't very far from his condo. A friend of mine picked up a 92 Civic with super low mileage like yours a couple years ago. It was also tucked away for a few years and had mold in the interior. lol

I didn't take this, and I can't even thank the guy for stealing it as I didn't have forum access to where it was posted. But I thought it was a neat picture. To the guy who took it, Thanks!

Foggy Saturday morning in Pitt Meadow. I chopped it up, and edited it a bit.

Picked her up today. Wasn't expecting to trade in my loved GTI so soon, but life throws you curveballs sometimes. Got a great trade-in value for the GTI and have lusted after the Golf R since its introduction in Europe.

Yup, and no wash / front bumper drill / dealer stickers either! My first ever brand new car after ever owning preowned ones. Yao and Mary at Cowell made it an easy and great purchase experience.
