View Full Version : 6th Gen Section
RobertMcC 12-15-2008, 10:33 AM Well are we gonna get a 5-6th Gen Section Place? I think there plenty of interest, or are we bottom of the barrel? I think that turns people off from this site, just see sections for 7-8th Gens and nothing else. I was hoping for a section when I joined this site, being drive accord, Not Only 7-8th Gen Welcomed...

There is already a thread by Bruce Hawkins about this.

PM Wards, he pays the bills here.
RobertMcC 12-15-2008, 10:38 AM Yeah well nothing being done..
But I agree with other people, why have a banner with ALL gens, when only 7-8th Gen have actual sections, everything else is piled into another place. Officially I don't like 8th Gens. So why do I want to sift through 8th Gen stuff for my Gen...
RTexasF 12-15-2008, 11:09 AM Offer to pay the site owner for the new section.
RobertMcC 12-15-2008, 11:33 AM I say take all the instructions, put that in one section.
Say Accord Manuals... Cleans up all that.
Makes room for well other Gen's
Accordlover 12-15-2008, 11:39 AM I own a 6th gen... and honestly I don't really care. I've been and belong to 6th gen sites... none really do much for me. What attracted me to this forum was that it wasn't all about "VTEK!" and where can I get those carbon fiber tails, and SLAM IT! wasn't the response to a stock Accord. It was just a group of people who enjoyed their accords. Sure, there were people who modified their cars, but most were done tastefully and with OEM parts from other hondas/acuras.
These days, I feel like we've turned into those forums I don't like, the ones that are all about the "VTEK and the Vtech" yo! :lmao:... I see so many beautiful new Accords raped and left covered in the tackiest modifications on such a nice car. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with mods, some people LOVE it... when I see a modded Honda Accord... I just want to roll my eyes at the fact that someone has turned a family sedan into a 'race car' of sorts. It just looks stupid to me. Same feeling goes for coupes too really, I mean it's an Accord, not a Mustang. The best part is seeing these fast and furious looking cars and finding out there's a stock 4 cyl under the hood with a CAI and an Automatic to boot!
I may have to break off from DA soon... it's not what it used to be, and I know that it's not just me who feels that way. I've had several conversations with fellow members who have been here just as long or longer than I, and many have expressed the same feelings.
Regardless, it would be nice to see some more sections I suppose, I just hope they're filled with helpful questions and advice; not a bunch of people who are in the market to hotrod an accord.
I'll probably get flamed for this post. Sobeit.
:wave:
Bruce Hawkins 12-15-2008, 12:24 PM Gen-old, Gen-5, and Gen-6 , It would be nice...
I'm not gonna knock Mr.Web. I Have several web sites too, and it/they take on a life of there own, and become more like a job. I have a full time job, and I'm too busy, as it is.
I suspect it a time thing. I PM-ed him, twice, and he did not have the time to respond to me. So, he must be really busy, like me...
At least things hear, aren't out right broken, like on my sites...
RobertMcC 12-15-2008, 09:14 PM I'm done with this site, cya....
RobertMcC 12-15-2008, 09:24 PM so what my car is f'in modded, its still a f'in accord. Hence Drive accord, but if you don't want my type here, then CYA.... I hate honda accessories, Cheap Over Priced and ugly. I'm not a ricer, its one of the more nicer Accord around here...........Can build a better suspension system then HPF or anything a factory dealership will give. So thats what I did, got better tires then dealership will give me. But WOW Im a ricer, my car is a hot rod....I thought this was love of Accords, but I guess not...It would been nice to have a section so I could get some info I need for my car, but I gotta dig through crap load of Gen 7 and 8 stuff...
I'm not super Accordlover, I know your post is against me, well have fun...
I picked the sedan because no body else run with it, so I did....
cajun 12-16-2008, 04:40 AM RobertMcc - check out 6thgenaccord.com. It's heavy on modding 6thGens, so it might be a better fit for you.
cajun 12-16-2008, 04:51 AM AccordLover - I'm going to turn you in to the slammed police over at 6thgenaccord.com. :banana:
You have to admit that some of the posts over there are hilarious - "Yo, my crap auto trans just failed. Honda was going to pay for it, but the dealer noticed I was running nitrous."

i honestly don't think that accordlover was singling you out per se... he was talking more about the influx of newbies that all they want to do here is bicker with the masses / flame, race on public roads, and do stupid shit.
another point that i would like to bring up: can we see pics of your car, to see what you have done so far? :wave:
and back to your orig post: i have had a 4th gen accord since 2000, joined here in fall 2004, and have had a 1999 accord since late 2007. there has never been a dedicated section for either car, and i'm ok with that, as are others. as the point was made, we do not pay the bills or run the site here; wards does.
i will say this tho: altho there is not a dedicated section for every generatio of accord, whenever i have a problem, fredsvt, i1, princess, benjiboy, and others that i have failed to mention here, have given me a world of advice here. and for that, i thank them.... :grouphug:
it's not the end of the world bud. no need to cry over some spilled milk....
:wave:
EDIT: you are free to stay or leave... it's your choice.... make the best decision that works for you....
that is all.
RobertMcC 12-16-2008, 07:17 AM If we had a 6th gen section be easier to see stuff, I got 3 threads with pictures of my car but its piled somewheres.
If someone says my car is ricey, then they got a problem.

The post was most certainly not against you, chill out and don't be so defensive. Jeez.
You def should check out www.6thgenaccord.com, they are much more tuner oriented, by far, than us. I'm not shooing you away, just letting you know what's there. Don't take it personally.
Stiller, there are pics of his car, just go check out his threads :)
AznX TL 12-17-2008, 07:51 AM woah, now you get do have your own section.
stiller fan 12-17-2008, 09:13 AM boy, it certainly looks like the mods have some work to do now....
Bruce Hawkins 12-17-2008, 09:40 AM Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RTexasF 12-17-2008, 11:34 AM Yeah those Martian green wheels are darling, very tasteful :puke:

A quick way to find your threads is to go to your user page. There's a link to the threads you started and to all posts by you.
I've been coming here infrequently lately and I use the above method to catch-up with the threads I participated in during previous visits.
UPDATE........
Wow, finally a 6th Gen forum!!!
