This guy will sell me a 1990 Accord for $50 cuz he knows my girl, and its in perfect condition with 126k on it. Now I have a 88 Accord EXi and im wonderin what, if any, parts can i swap between the two? I wanna try and get em both up and runnin, Can a 90 tranny work in a 88?

I highly doubt it. And if this is a perfect 4th gen why tear it down?

No, I don't mean drive the 4th gen instead, I just didn't see why you'd want to tear it apart if it was a good car, because that tranny isn't going to work. I'm 99.9 percent sure of that. I'm thinking your only options are a Prelude tranny or stock. But...why don't you take this 50 dollar Accord and sell it for way more if it's in good shape? Then put your profit into your 3gee?

You might have something there.. The guy lives somewhat far away from me, so I'd need a trip permit or a tow truck, and i gotta put the car in a already cramped driveway, but perhaps i could do that.. Gotta get some money to fix those rust holes in my car and the tranny.. and the engine.. and the exhaust manifold.. and.. id be here all night lol

I second that motion. You should be able to sell the 90, and get enough cash to fix your Ontario rust.

And I agree, I can't imagine driving anything but a 3g accord anymore. I'm sure a lot of us feel that way.

The only thing I can think off at the top of my head right now that are interchangeable between the two cars are the wiper blades. :D

No, the tranny won't work.

even door handles won't be interchangible.
you can't swap anything from 4g into 3g

Hey you can swap some parts.
I have a 4G logo on my steering wheel. The spoiler will fit, but does not look right.

And what the hell is a trip permit?

A trip permit allows you to drive with no plates or registration for 10 days without persocution, as long as you drive normally.. It basically gives you 10 days to e-test and cert your car so you can get it plated
