    Whats up with the huge pics!? resize them please. try picresize.com.

    Those pictures show up fine for me, but some times some of the ones you guys put up are crazy, like 2500x2500. Try to resize pictures to 800px when possible.

    Wow how simple engines were back then, unless he done some engine tucking?

    I think that's more or less original regarding the space in the engine bay.

    Hal1 I think a friend of mine in the north owned that car about 15 years ago. Not sure though.

    Going doing the Wacky Rally in July so was on the hunt for some good bangernomics.

    Picked up this 2002 Accord for 500e, NCT until March 2016 and running great besides what seems like warped brake discs at the front.

    Going to be a shame destroy it! :)

    Yes. are you saying thats a lot or not a lot?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,083 ✭✭✭✭Duke O Smiley


    Thats a ****ing bargain in my books


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 635 ✭✭✭BillJ


    I thought so too. 170k miles on it but running great. Bit of service history too, it's 1.8vtec so not hugely powerful but does the job and is reliable.

    Looks like a really new radio in it too, with bluetooth and AUX port, currently doing up a playlist for the roadtrip :)

    Would be willing to swap it for something more unique/powerful that has NCT until July 9th, would be a good swap for someone with a car running out of NCT!

    What's the whacky rally?

    What's the whacky rally?

    http://www.wackyrally.co.uk/barmy-barcelona-2015 this is the route we are doing.

    Basically you by a cheap car, paint/decorate it to look ridiculous or in a certain theme. Drive from Lille down through the Alps and French Riviera through 7 or 8 countries to Barcelona. Roughly 80 cars doing it, challenges along the way too.

    Closest thing i'll get to doing one of those top gear challenges ha

    Sweet F all. The mother of all bargains.
    500e for a 02 Accord with under a years NCT and she looks good too..
    When I wrote "500e..." I meant it like "unbelievable"

    Was surprised myself, if my bargaining skill were better would have gotten it for 475.

    Bodywork is pretty poor to be fair

    I'm pretty happy with it just needs a new back box and a front lip. Honda parts are dirt cheap to if they're second hand plenty to be had

    Hate when this happens, I buy expensive genuine bbs wheels. Then i swap back to my oem bmw wheels and I think they look better??
    Maybe I'm wrong but i suddenly think so!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,925 ✭✭✭GvidoR


    How about a pic with the other wheels so we can compare?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,473 ✭✭✭YbFocus


    Good idea. .

    350326.jpg]

    I'm even more certain now!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,902 ✭✭✭power pants


    dont think the bbs suits the car at all, wrong colour and age of car doesnt make it a good look imo

    The original alloys makes the car look a lot fresher and cleaner even if they are far too small

    The BBS need to be a lighter colour to work. They just look dirty in that pic. Style wise they're not a million miles apart.

    I was thinking about getting them powder coating then back to oem colours.
    The darkness isn't helped by being in the shade late in the evening either.
    The lips stand out much more than that but the centres are an anthracite colour.

    Thanks osi :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,925 ✭✭✭GvidoR


    If the BBS wheels were silver, they would look better, I think. The OEM wheels seem a little small.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,473 ✭✭✭YbFocus


    Thanks man,

    Yeah I'll try going oem on the wheels i reckon and see.

    Just a spray can job and then move to powder coating if it looks right!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,917 ✭✭✭✭MetzgerMeister


    MV2's aren't too bad on the E36. Are you trying to stick with E36 wheels though? If so, something along the lines of M3 Evo wheels would be nice.

    I'd be going for Sunflowers or the original Motorsports on an E36 Myself, BBS are nice and all but they're too....."basic" for such a sporty looking car.
