New Accord

[hillbilly]

Hey guys, just thought id share my new beauty with you all, its an 87 Lxr-si Stock as a rock with a real clunky gearbox lol!!!

Picked it up from a car yard for $1,000, A/C, P/s, P/w, Sunroof, cruise control and all that sorta gear, buit it does have slight accident damage on the left hand side. i bought it with 218xxx on the clock and seems to be doing alright, spent a little bit on it gettin some new tyres and stuff like that, but runs nice and has a SWEET NOTE, Current color is dark blue, with black trimmings, Honda Alloys, and the normal plush/Velour Interior

Mods planned:
Cannon (3 inch with 2.5 tip) 2.5 inch system from cat back
Pod filter
Bigger injectors and components
extractors
some nice 16's or 17s
lowered
black paint with gold fleck
darkest legal tint


I think that bout sums it up neways ill upload some pics. hope u like like!!

Ok i cant attach images, i may need some help with that, Thanx Guys:)

2.5 is to big for a N/A accord just go 2/14 oh and welcome to the site you will love it.

[hillbilly]

Cheers man, something to keep in mind, i was told i may lose a bit to much back pressure with a 2.5 neway, but im stickin with my cannon still

[Cheeseburger]

um where are the pics at??? anyho welcome

[frankie89]

nice grab...but your sig saying is kinda scary cuz its true...damn..

[88accordhb]

nice car man, yah 2.25 is the best size piping. plus on these cars, exhaust is saved for sound if you don't do other extensive performance mods. exhaust will yield a bit of power, but still relatively low and slow up against civics and other hondas with swaps and watnot.

btw. send the spoiler this way!!! yay!!!

[88Accord-DX]

Nice deal for a grand, at least it has fuel injection. :welcome: to the board man. Anything you need to know is here.

[Busted_Blue]

does that thing have an A20 or a B20. Everytime I see Si, I hope B20A.

I like that spoiler. =)

[phrenology]

Man the trunk lid is pretty a pretty sweet stock piece. Nice LXR emblems and trunk lip/spoiler. You Aussies get the good shit like the Europeans and JDM stuff. We get all the sloppy second designs. I got some emails from an Aussie wanting some help with his 84' Accord. He wanted to rally and I told him I give him some carb conversion stuff for the G2 Accord. Nice find on your Accord BTW!!! :rockon:

[hillbilly]

Just wanting to say thanx for all the positive feedback guys, the car has a long way to go to get it upto shape, i only showed u the good side hehe, once i respray it im definetaly gonna ditch the spoiler, i seriosly reckon it puts a well out dated look on the car!!, so anyone who wants it, its your guys!!

Ill find out bout the engine a.s.a.p, havent reely had it long enuff to fully go through all the specs as of yet, can anyone tell me the difference?,

[snow_man_20]

b20a is DOHC, and a a20a is SOHC.

and the a20a is ALOT slower.

[carotman]

The Australian 2.0 SI has the A20A

[SteveDX89]

Well, I'm not really sure what you plan on gaining with bigger injectors unless you like running rich. Welcome to the board, BTW. You'll have fun here.

[hillbilly]

Yeah guys its slow as!! but what can you do, does anyone have any stuff you can do yourself to make it faster, im thinking of putting on a pod filter or doing a B.F.I, however the air box on these is weird so dont know what gains im gonna get, any other suggestions, for stuff to do at home, or cheap performance mods

[danronian]

Look in the performance FAQs thread for anything performance related.

[od2681]

nice..i like that little spoiler in the back....welcome to the board

[hillbilly]

Hey guys just validating that its definetely a A20A motor, and it is tilted towards the front of the car, i just found a dam oil leak however :-(. right in the front of my engine bay, towards the left hand side, so im thinkin its my tranny!. meh its F****D anyway.

[A20A1]

So how much longer till you drop the "P" plate :)

Nice accord... It's still good even without the DOHC. :)

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Ooooh looks good.... wanna sell me the spoiler? ppllllleeaaasseeee

[hillbilly]

Be more than happy too man, name me a price in aussie currency and ill send it your way. if i can afford to freight it that is.

[bullard123]

Didn't know that Accords in Australia had JDM tails. Looks good though not a bad deal for a grand.

[hillbilly]

Yeah i have recently found 5 relatively sizesome oil leaks, and if i dont get em fixed by the end of the week, the cops sed they will take my car off the road:-(, i know one of the mis the rocker cover gasket, but i gotta find the rest, and my stone tray makes it all look worse, so thats comin off aswell:D

[racerx]

the valve (rocker) cover can probably be fixed without much ado. Take a torque wrench and set it to 7 pounds (not sure what that is in Nm... anyone know?).
Loosen the 3 valve cover nuts, and slowly hand tighten them until they're just not loose anymore.
Then use the torque wrench and set em to 7 pounds.

If that doesn't fix it, then you need a new valve cover gasket. They're not too expensive.

[Cheeseburger]

o man i want your spoiler.
