This photo was manipulated with Paint Shop Pro just to show what my car will look like after installing the lowering springs.

yay, i get to make the first reply about your car

i like the non-USDM front ends with non-pop-ups, your car looks real clean, and @ first i thought the powered by honda decal was factory, lol

and whats your opinion on your head unit? its the JVC KDLH-1000 right? or is itt he arsenel version? i have the non-arsenel version, and the sound quality is great but my damn screen saver stoppedcoming on even though its still set on all time play...

NICE CAR AND WELCOME!! :)

[Bobs89LXi]

Welcome. Nice car. It is very clean. I'd love to see some pics of the engine compartment.

Congratulations on the first reply :). Nooo don't call my car clean :D. It's sooo filthy (I haven't had the time to wash or wax it). I'll send more pics when I get the car washed. The Powered by HONDA decals were ordered from Honda Club of Finland. :D

About the head unit... It's actually JVC KD-LH7R model with no screen saver... I think the sound quality is kinda good too with 100W JVC speakers in the back of the car.

Thank you :D. I wouldn't actually say my car is clean :D. It's everything but clean :huh:. I mean It doesn't even shine in the pics even tho it was painted 6 months ago. I had it waxed in the summer but now it's covered with dust and snow again.

About the engine compartment... I'll take some pics tomorrow and I can post them here for you to see.

[flamed89]

the outside may not be clean,the the inside is like WOW!:omg:
very nice car!:cool: and welcome to the board!

[Elijah]

Ithink its clean you could tell if a car is in good condition dirty or clean but you could still see that the body and paint are nice i think thats what peaple mean by clean.

Yeah you're right. I thought the word "clean" had to mean something else than "non-dirty". The body and paint are in good condition so that's what the word "clean" means in this context. Thank you :bow:.

[89accordboi]

man that thing looks hella nice, i especially like that accord emblem in your interior, and your interior looks hella nice i love it! i want to sell my car and get what u have hehe

[RobT5580]

Question what are the switches near the E-brake for? Cause the U.S. models dont have that? Looks nice cause there are not many with that style front end on it. (on this board).

[Coroncho80]

I'm digging how clean it is inside ................. :D


Sweet ass 5 speed.

[Bobs89LXi]

By clean I meant clean lines, no tacky stickers and the like. :D

I'll second that question, they definately make the center console look more complete.

Nice ride tho, haven't seen too many that clean and complete.

[Jareds 89 LX-i]

Yea I too am wondering what those switches are for. I think they look cool, lol (I like buttons....lots of 'em!) :lol

Sweet looking car too! I'd love to see some pics of the engine :D

[Scotts88WhiteLX-i]

wow nice car way different with the non-flip up lights...

Yeah the switches... the one on the top (near the gear stick) is the swtich for heated seat and below that is the headlight washer (I had them removed) and the bottom one is for the power antenna. :)

[Rick]

Thank you all for the compliments :). I know my car looks very different from the US models and that's why I posted the pics here, 'cause I knew that many of you would like to see some different Accord pics :D.

I also like my car but the one thing I hate about it are the way too small 14" tires and the rims that suck :D. I was thinking of getting 15" tires which might just fit after I have the lowering springs installed.

I'll be posting new pics later this week (maybe even today) after I get my new 2" exhaust pipe installed. I'm also gonna send a manipulated pic of which my car WOULD look like after the lowering springs are installed.

[Venne]

Nice looking Accord, have same type too, but my car looks like shit, rust every where...!

Kiva nähdä muitakin suomalaisia täällä...!

[markmdz89hatch]

I can't stop looking at that spoiler! I love it, it's a real nice looking spoiler that fits the car verrrrrrry well. Is it aftermarket or was that a factory option over there? Just to make sure, but do you have rear disc? What's this business about heated seats? That's just not fair! That wasn't even offered here in the SE-i's (the highest model in the US). I also have to say that that center console looks great in the car. I agree that it makes it look much more "complete". Thanks for posting, and great looking car. Can't wait to see more pics!

I have same model, and there is no rear disks.
Spoiler and heated seats was factory option here, just now there -32°C, yesterday there was -38°C, so if you dont have heated seats your dick will be frozen.

LOL! Yeah, that would be bad, I don't think my girl would be too happy if that happened.

Wanna sell that spoiler? Or is there a wreckers nearby that might have a 3G with that spoiler on it? Do you also have that same center console with all those switches on it?

[Venne]

I dont have spoiler in my own car, but i´m snooping wreckers all the time, if i find one, i can sell it to you...
...and can i sell you my center console, how much you wanna pay for it?
I think its not very cheap to send it to you.

Well one switch looks like a cruise control switch and the other looks like a dimmer switch. If you look closly you can see that he is missing a switch in the 3 button thingy that the US cars have. And I have no idea what the third switch is..... maybe a mirrors switch or volume control?

There is no cruise control in my car (it didn't work so I removed the whole system). The button non-US cars don't have is the light retractor switch or the sunroof switch (I can't remember which one). The mirror switch is located on the left of the steering wheel, so it's there even though you can't see it in the picture.

I can sell you whole front bumper from my car :D

[Mike's89AccordLX]

I would but that would cost probably $3000 to ship :lol:

-Venne

Yeah, I'd like to buy it, but how much would that damn thing cost to get it sent to the US? I'm in zip: 06401. Don't know if that helps at all. Lemm'e know, I'm kinda interested.

[Venne]

Originally posted by Mike's89AccordLX

I check that and it would cost about $870 + the bumper price $30.
But if i cut to 3 parts, then its only $280 +$30, then you can glue it at you home :D

I have to do some measurements, but i'm sure that it will be over $50.

-Venne

[Mike's89AccordLX]

I think I'll pass on the bumper I'll probably get a body kit in the next year anyway.

-Venne

...ok, I'm still somewhat interested. I need to see some more pics of it, and would be curious on what colors are available, but still 50 for shipping on something I cannot get locally here sounds reasonable. How much would you get for just the part?

[Mike's89AccordLX]

$50 shipping for international rates is really good. I wish it was that much for the bumper.

[A20A1]

Damn your car came well equipt...

[markmdz89hatch]

DAMN!!! Once again, I LOVE THAT SPOILER!!!!!!!! I want one sooooo bad now! Nice car man, I want it real bad and I don't even like red. Kinda funny looking at the car with all the road grime all over it, and a nice new shiny exhaust. LOL! Anyway, I'm real jealous now. Not only do you have a cool center console, an AMAZING wing, and that cool "JDM" front end, not to mention heated seats, but you have no vaccuum mess that we were blessed with here in the US.

Where the hell is that VACCUUM "mystery black box". I want my engine compartment to look like that!!!!

What "mystery black box" you mean?
Is there picture available somewhere?

-Venne

[markmdz89hatch]

Grant, I hope you don't mind, I borrowed one of your pics.

Venne, see in the pic in the upper left that black box with 8 billion vaccuum lines coming from it... ...that's what I'm talking about when I say " mystery black box"

Never seen that kind of box in any euro Honda?

Isn't that the emission control box? At least that's what my English manual says... Euro-Accords don't have that box.

http://users.kymp.net/dsl1109d/controlbox.jpg

[1989 DX R]

Yup, it's designed to make our cars emissions compliant.

[Euro2.0ex]

Our cars in finland are equipped with A20A2's. We have no catalyzers either.

here is my pic. I know it's dirty...

And here's a pic with my 15 inch winter alloys with studded tires. Now it's extremely dirty.. This is from last winter. I should lower it more I know, but if it is hard for you to find 3g accord parts try looking them down here!

Yeah you're lucky... you have room for a short-ram intake and don't have to remove a thing.

Okay I had my car washed and waxed today so here are some pics of the shiny Accord :D.

[89accordboi]

omfg that thing looks TIGHT dude im so jealous !! i love the back lights they look so sweeet, and i love the color too :) nice car man :)

[A20A1]

Hrmm I always thought those were just reflectors... but the rear bumper lights look like they light up too, or is it just the flash.
anywho Nice pics.

[87DXHatch]

STUDDED TIRES?!!?!? Wow... the government there must not care about repairing roads...

I LOVE Rick's car... I was looking at it just saying "wow" over and over again in my head, then I see the interior, I just died.... then that shot from the front... it looks like an Acura Legend... I was just like :eek: :eek: :eek:

Awesome car Rick, awesome awesome awesome

[Coroncho80]

Sweet ass cars! I can't believe the EX's over there are Carb!!!!!!! here in the US are the highest trims ( well, on most of them :D)

No, they're not reflectors and it's not the flash :). The rear bumper lights are the rear fog lights and they do light up :D. But there are also reflectors in the back end but they are integrated into the rear lights.

Not every 3g Accord here is carb. We also have 3rd generation injection Accords. Mine just happens to be carb.

[Euro2.0ex]

We have A16, A20 (carbed and injected), and B20 engines in our cars. There are DX, EX and EXi models.

[Experimental_Honda]

nice rides, do you all have the jdm style tail lights on any of the 3rd gen accords over there??

The euro Accords also have the same mystery box, but only inthe fuel injected versions!

Check here, it's right behind the air filter with all those vacuum lines going in.
