JDM Accord/Aerodeck Pics Published in 1985

[epic1400cs]

Here are some pictures from a book NEW ACCORD published in 1985. Those images in the test course was taken at the Honda test course in Hokkaido, Japan I guess. Other images are quoted from Honda catalogue. Some of the member in 3geez are asked me to post the pics but I have been busy so it took me long time, sorry about that. I hope you enjoy.

is that a digital speedoniter?

Yep, thats a digital speedo. If I remember right, it was factory optional parts.

And about the test course picture, the driver is the writer of this book.

About the writer, he used to be a racing driver in 50's to 60's and he has a big infulence on the development of Japanese car from 70's to today. He analyzed all the Japanese car in comparision to European cars (esp. West Germans) and critisized throughly but fairly without any falttering to the manufacturers in his other series of book. His book became big seller in Japan and this forced most of Japanese car manufacturers to improve their car significantly. They say that the long wheel base of 3rd gen Accord was a reply to his criticism (he wrote Honda cars as 'Pig With Short Legs' - short wheel base with big overhang) toward the Honda cars at that time. In this book, New Accord, he wrote about our car as 'the best Japanese car' he has ever driven. It is obvious that this gave big infulence on the 'Japan Car of the Year 1986' selection process.

I got that digital speedo here.... I need the ECU that comes with it and haven't found one yet :(

[Cheeseburger]

o shit thats prety cool hey carotman got any pics?

[shepherd79]

i was be able to find the digital gauge and ECU for it. I had the gauge, but i never got the ECU for it. plus on the top of it, i you still have to get the plastic gauge cover since it has diff design.
There is a lot of stuff you have to get, and it is not cheap.

[jigga225]
