The understanding of building a car that was once thought to be too old, played out, or yesterday’s style, is what gives every enthusiast a canvas to revive its generation. Rolando has owned this accord for over 7 years and it is still a work in progress. Just like most of us, Rolando has been into cars since his childhood. Always having a goal to build his own car that describes his style Rolando introduced us to his 5th generation Honda Accord.
Laying pretty on Work Bergsaglio’s and rocking authentic Honda Accord “Basque Red Pearl” paint this is just the beginning. Under the hood she has her 2nd H22 transplant and full Air ride by Air Runner installed to help her get around a little easier but still have the ability to park hard. So you might ask why two H22 swaps? Will unfortunately like most car enthusiast everyone goes through some rough roads. After building a fully built H22 with high compression .25 oversized JE Pistons she blew shortly after.
Blowing his first swap didn’t stop him from swapping in another though. Rolando let us know that this Honda would be no were near were it’s at today without Fat Four Customs and Hondasociety As you scroll down make sure to check his 2 page long modlist. Be sure to be on the lookout as Stay Stetti will bring you much more for 2012.
