Research and you shall Develop

Hello!

Just came by to say that I am still working on one of the projects, focusing on devoloping the best one ever to the accord community.  The project has improvements over the previous prototype from a few years ago, and is superior when compared to another part available in the market.

When the current phase is complete, I will have another prototype made and will let you guys, accord enthusiasts know what's up.

Thank you and have a great week!

Fixing rear spoiler

Here’s an example of how one man’s trash can turn into another man’s treasure.

Knowing where I was going and how difficult it would be to source a similar part (after moving to south America), I decided to hold on to that broken spoiler with a missing section.

The story of it is that my friend Bohn bought it from overseas, the seller didn’t take his time making sure the item would survive the trip, so the package was very fragile and ended up being damaged during the shipping.

When Bohn picked up the box the spoiler was already broken, and to make things even worse, one piece of the spoiler went missing short after that.

So Bohn handed it to Claude, whom then wanted to throw it away, but decided to ask me if I would have any interest on it, I knew I had to give that spoiler a second chance.

I kept it in a box for a couple of years until I decided it was finally time to really inspect it and see how worth a repair it really was.

The curved design suits the body and adorns the rear end adding a sporty look without making it look like a race car.

So the repairing process began by placing the spoiler on the trunk as perfectly as possible so that I could to make the markings, I definitely wanted to make a strong repair that would never crack or break a piece off again, even if I slammed the trunk shut (if that ever happened).

Regarding the cost of it, I admit putting way more hours in than it was really worth, but as usual, it didn’t matter the effort, I just had a vision to accomplish.

After the markings were done, I drilled holes on both sides of the broken spoiler, that way I could slide 2 pieces of metal inside, so that there wouldn’t be any chance of it flexing and breaking again.

I poured resin to fill the gap, and used patches of fiberglass to form a shape of the part missing.  I made some rough markings using the original “H” emblem off the trunk.  In fact, since the shape of the backside of the emblem is round to contour the shape of the trunk, I had to sand the emblem until it was flat using various grits of sandpaper and a sanding block.

To begin making the recessed part where the emblem is located, I used one of my handy power tools, sanding off the excess fiberglass, and fitting the emblem until I had enough room to proceed to the next step.

Using the body filler, I formed the shape back again, always sanding and fitting the emblem to get it to sit just right.  It was also necessary to repair the ends of the spoiler (where they sit just over the quarter panels).

After that, it was time to shoot some primer and sand the piece again, some final repair was done using filling putty and another coat of primer.

The spoiler sat for more than a year in primer, until one day I sprayed the paint and clear on it.

The result was great, it was given a makeover, and so it got to be displayed on the trunk lid of my accord.

2015!! Revive the ideas!

Hello everyone.

After years away from the scene, I decided to come back and continue developing my Accord project.

I'm also studying an old project once again, debating and engineering a solution to what I consider an awesome part for the Accord community.

I would love to hear from other Accord fans out there what you would like to see available for ourselves in the market, so that we can customize and make our rides unique as an extension of our style.  Feel free to leave a comment!

Thank you!

Claude's feature! KozerAuto approved!

Hello everyone!  This months feature of the Hondatuning magazine brings up a well deserving build to the entire accord community.  Claude's 5th gen has gone through a lot, and I'm glad that I took part in inspiring him since we met a few years ago.  Congratulations!!!  KozerAuto is happy to be part of this vehicle, from testing prototype parts to running our custom set of Lower Control Arms, which are custom painted by Claude.

Once again Claude, thanks for all your support!!  You totally deserved this honor to be featured in a mag!!!
I'm not only happy for Claude's feature, but I'm also happy since my daughter was born this past weekend (April 30th).  Cheers for new things to come!

Hey folks!  I'm so glad to see people from many different countries visiting the blog.  It's been pretty busy around here, and i wish i could leave a picture of the progress, but i'm just going to leave this post instead.  I'm expecting to release pictures of it in about 2 weeks, and then we're ready to announce the a price for it.  Cross your fingers, everything has gone well so far, we're almost ready!!  Thank you so much for the support received through the forums and email.  That's all for today folks!  Stay tuning!

STICKERS ARE IN!!

Coming soon!

Kozer Auto is almost ready to announce the launching of its brand new short throw shifter kit.  The development is near completion.  Each unit features an unique experience unlike anything else available on the market.

      Designed:

• to withstand even the hardest throws; 
• to be able to work on low temperature and high temperature environments without compromises;
• to allow the driver to choose the most confortable height for shifting;
• to give the driver a shorter shifting distance with the possibility of choosing a setting that suits best.

Pictures and pricing will be available soon.  Stay tuned for more information.


Before the short shifter kits are available, I would like to leave this post with pictures of customers cars with the Lower Control Arms installed.

 

Thanks for visiting the blog.
