That's all of them for now. The car looks wayyy better right after its been washed... we just got snowed on so it's kinda dirty from the road. I would have posted an engine bay pic, but I couldn't get the hood open....... :rolleyes:

Tell me what you think!

[87DXHatch]

OBEY!

[Coroncho80]

I like it a lot man! How much did ya pay for it? Are the front leather seats fucked up? When I bought mines, the driver seat was in baddddddddddddddd shape and the owner had a seat cover on it just like yours but it was gray and black (‘cause the interior of the car is black with gray leather).


I think you and me have to do the same project. Re-carpet the whole interior. I am trying to get some prices to see how much it would be to re-carpet the interior and the trunk. My interior looks kind of like yours, but since I have carpets on, you can't tell that much.

Are you planning to swap a five speed there later? The muffler seems beat up, but I love those dual end pipes.

I like your car man. To be honest, your car looks in much better shape than mines when I bought it. I know you gonna go a long way with this. Good luck man! I'll give it "Two thumbs up!" :D

[87DXHatch]

Ah well... Mods, if you read this, delete the other thread :D

I got it for $1000!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe the deal I got on it...

Yeah, I want to recarpet the interior... the previous owner was a college kid, and he pretty obviously didn't take the best care of it. There's all sorts of stains all over the carpet on the inside. You can get a brand new set of pre-molded carpet from some online store... I can't remember it off the top of my head. They sell pre-molded carpet sets for the Sedan and Hatchback... if the hatchback fits in the coupe, then I'll buy it next summer hopefully... they're about $180.

Both of the front seats leather is in bad bad shape... You can't see it, but the armrest is torn too. Does anyone know how much it would cost to re-upholster both front seats and the arm rest in leather? How about just the arm rest?

As for the muff... it's not even connected to the rest of the exhaust system :rolleyes: I think that's the biggest trouble area right now is the exhaust system... it's rusty all up and down it, and I've seen some exhaust coming out of the hood too when it's idling, so I think there might be a hole in the downpipe. I'd like to get some DC sport headers, but those are speeeendy.

Thanks for the feedback :D

[87DXHatch]

I'd like to swap to a 5-speed somewhere along the line, but I'm thinking that that will be a gigantic pain in the ass. I think I'm gonna wait until this transmission goes out on me before I try that...

[87DXHatch]

Holy shit you have a lot of posts... I've been here since the AF board and I don't even have half the posts you do, and you've only been here since August!!! :eek:

Anyway, the store you'Re looking for is www.1aauto.com

[offthahook]

Detail that bish. Looks crunk fa shizzle on the reazy. Good shape overall.

[smufguy]

sweet looking car dude and 120 bucks, is the first thing u gotta spend to get that carpet out. Keep up the baby.

[Jareds 89 LX-i]

Looks sweet! It looks to be in real good shape, especially for a Minnesota car. Those carpets show up on ebay quite a bit too. For $1000 bucks though that was one hell of a deal :super:

Ya know, I've never noticed until now that the coupes (and hatches too?) don't have a rear armrest like the sedans do

Now keep that baby clean! :)

[jigga225]

nice lookinhg car.
Get leather rfedont in front if its messed up.And carpet can be had for like 130 on eBay

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Dude I think you can get pre molded carpets from JC Whittney for like $65. That's how much they were the last time I checked. And I finally see what the armrest looks like. I have never seen one until now. Damn now I want one. Anyone want to sell their tan or is it beige armrest?

[‹^› ‹(•¿•)› ‹^›]

Nice Car Dude

[smufguy]

not hard to switch the rear fold down seats from a sedan to your sexy coupe.

[87DXHatch]

Seeing as how it would be impossible for me to find a leather back seat from an SEi sedan around here, and have it in as good a shape as my back seat, I don't think I will be switching seats.

The mere mention of it sounds preposterous to me. :wave:

[idriveahonda]

u got sny pics of tha cars u wanna sell?

[Coroncho80]

Here is the best Pre-molded carpet that I can find.

[SQ is the SQUAD]

you should het 2 tan integera front seats, there not hat hard to make them fit. they will look hot in your can plus there eier to find and the will match with your rears

[87DXHatch]

Hmmm... sounds very interesting h0ndavtec... very interesting indeed.

Are they leather? :D Even though I suppose it wouldn't matter that much if they were or not...

What kind of work would I be looking at to get them in and fit right? Do you mean the second gen. integras?

[smufguy]

i dont think the earlier tegs came with a leather. did they?

[n88accordLX-i]

You need a new muffler man, yours is uhhhhh,,,, falling off? :lol

[87DXHatch]

You're kidding me!! I need a new muffler?? Wow... I must never look at my car... :p

Yeah, I know... the muffler isn't even attached... like I've said a few times before, the exhaust system is area number one that needs work.

[johndej]

"Ya know, I've never noticed until now that the coupes (and hatches too?) don't have a rear armrest like the sedans do." <-- your right, hatches don't have the rear armrest

[HondaBoy]

um, i hope im just seeing a reflection. but is that a bit of rust below the gas tank door? car looks pretty good over all. but realy fix that exhaust. get like a custom stainless steel exhaust instead of the ones for the 3geez accords. the one i have heard bad things about are the Monza cat backs. i think pacesetter is the brand too. the thing is that they rust out quickly. and for the seats and arm rest, u can probley get em done for about $600. i would invest in newer seats. maybe some thing from a acura like they said or a honda. or better yet some nice sparco's.

[87DXHatch]

Nope, that's not a reflection, that's rust. It's a tiny bit on that rear wheel well corner, the same on the other side too... nothing too big, I'll fix it first thing spring. There's little bits of rust all over the car, it's something I've never quite seen before... because they just seem to be in the oddest places.

As for my exhaust, I'm going to have a shop do it... I'm not getting any of those dumb pre-made ones. Stainless steel does sound very nice though, living in MN and all... I'll look into it.

As for the seats... CAN ANYONE GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF HOW MUCH RE-UPHOLSTERY MIGHT BE?? I really like these seats, and the car would be 100% more pimp if I got them re-done in leather and took off the covers.

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Will you sell that se-i console to me? I'll send you my LX-i one and pay for yours too.

[87DXHatch]

Are you kidding me? I just get the car of my dreams and you want me to part it out to you? Ha... maybe if I ever go insane, or become a coke fiend, then I'll sell it to you... other than that, NO.

And my paint is iridescant... I found that out for positive today. It goes from the green to purple. It's weird, it only happens when the sun's shining on it, or if headlights hit it at an extreme angle... next time I wash it when then sun's out I'll take a pic of the purple and show you guys.

Damn... maybe I won't paint it now... :confused:

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Well coke is very good. And don't knock it if you haven't tried it man. Try it come on everyones doing it. Just don't go drinking and doing smack at the same time because then you won't be living to sell me the console. I'm just looking out for you dude. Just do smack and no drinking ok, then we'll talk. I'll pay nicely for the console too. Enough to buy a bunch of coke.

[3rd GEN]

you gotta do somethin with that muffler...
it looks like it needs a little help:)

[87DXHatch]

Smack does not = coke, dum dum... smack = heroin ;)

I wonder if I could get it repainted (Can someone confirm that this is my color?) Brittany (Britney?) Blue and have it retain its iridescant qualities...

hmmm...

I also realized today that I am now driving my dream car (essentially :D)... and I went out and looked at it, and realized I love how it looks just how it is... so now my only real appearance mods I want to do is lower it 2 or so inches on some H&R's and slap on Jim's Bilsteins and some Koni's in rear...

Does anyone know any Honda/Acura (Have to be able to get H logo center caps for them) 16" wheels? Or even 15"? I think I want to stay with Honda for bigger wheels, because I just love the stock SE-i alloys. Anyone know how much chroming costs for rims? :D
