Hey all,
I have been following this site for a few months now but was only rescently able to register. I was so unbalievably excited to discover a site like this. I have been a 3rd gen enthusiest for years but never knew there was a following before I discovered this site. Let me tell you about my cars.
I finally got my lisence at 18 yrs old in California, my home state. I was very anxious to get a car quick. I only had about three grand to spend so I was limited. After some searching I finally decided to test drive my uncles 1 owner, imaculate, 1987 Accord LX. Somehting grabbed me about the looks of the car. Clean lines, low profile, pretty sporty with that late 80's style. But those pop-ups, man those were bad ass. So I hopped inside. The car had a clean well kept interior. My aunt never let anyone smoke or eat in that car. I liked that the car was spacious and had a good looking interior with no frills. Everything looked sporty but everything was totelly utilitarian. After driving it arround the block I was sold. I could not believe that a car with 171 thousand miles could run so good and feel so good. It felt swift nimble and responsive. Not sloppy like my moms van that I had been driving.
I owned that carbed, auto sedan for three whole years. I beat that poor car all to hell and it never failed to surprise me with it's capabilities. It was not a racecar but it was very capable. I got excited every time I got to drive it thinking about what our next adventure would be. Everything from peeling out in the rain, sliding turns, spinouts, downhill top speed of 112 mph, to slow cruising and 800 mile road trips. That baby will always have a special place in my heart. Now, with a banged up body and two transmissions later, my mom owns it with 221 thousand miles and it still runs great every day.
I gave that car to my mom and baught my dream car. A 1989 Accord coup with FI and a five speed tranny! Much of an improvement. (Respect to my 87) After about 6 months after owning this car I was looking for performance parts on line and discovered 3GEEZ.com and its holey wealth of knowledge. I could not believe my eyes! A whole site dedicated to my beloved third generation accord. What did they call it a 3......a 3GEE! I want to thank all you guys for this and lets keep the 3GEE love alive.

They were posted without spaces in between them.

[AccordRacing21]

Do your rims not match? It looks like you have a black ADR spade and three black Honda factory rims? JW....car looks real nice bro, I like it.

[onliLX-i]

Yah I know. I had a little accident and destroyed two of my rims a few months ago. tragic. I had four original factory spoked 14" alloys and ruined two. I picked up two five spoke alloy rims from the junkyard off a..............GULP....................Hyundai. I spray painted them all black to match and ald I like the outcome. the rears are the Honda's and the fronts are the Hyundai's. I am saving up for some black, 15", five spoke, 9LB, Montegi Track Lites! It will take some time. Thanks for checking out my baby.

[onliLX-i]

What do you all think about the custom LX-i third break light?

[Cheeseburger]

looks good bro

[frankie89]

looking nice, i see some good mods going on..clean bay.....props

[B16KILLA]

What do you all think about the custom LX-i third break light?

Its pretty cool ,how'd you make it?It looks like LEDs.

[onliLX-i]

Yep, LED's. I spelled it out on a grid pattern circuit board and then soldered everything into place. Lots of wires and resistors. I tried to make it resemblethe emblem on my car as acurately as I could. Unfortunately the break light lense is textured and it obscures the lights a little. Maybe I could put a piece of red plexiglass in there or somehting. Maybe just remove the lense all together. Any ideas?

[Cheeseburger]

where did u get ur steering wheel from?

[spnrx]

:welcome: and good luck on your project

[onliLX-i]

It's a Mugen knock off with horn button sticker and all. On the cheaper side of steering wheels. My brother got it off e-bay for me. It does the job well though and I like its smaller diameter better than the large stock wheel. No cruise but I never use that anyway.

[Cheeseburger]

cool dude ya a smaller diameter steering wheel is way better then the stock one i have a momo and its way better then the stock on it had before

[spnrx]

Oh yeah and I have the same question as Cheeseburger, Where did you get that sick ass steering wheel from!?

[onliLX-i]

It's a Mugen knock off. Scroll up. I want to ask you guys something speaking of steering wheels. I know I got ripped for my race story but seriously, haven't you guys ever drifted your car a little. It's eveneasier with the small steering wheel. I have everything in my car: seats, spare tire, jack, battery in trunk and a 25 pound tool box secured so it won't slide. If I enter a turn fast, and pitch the steering wheel just right the car pivots and I can even unwind most of my steering through the turn. A drift. Am I crazy?

[3rdgenhatchDX]

in a fwd car that's^^^^ass dragging^^^^

:slap: :wave: :slap:

No not really ,usually when that happens to me i look for a new suspension upgade to buy.I like my car to grip not slide,but thats just me.

[A20A1]

Nice, I like the brake light mod.

That filter looks sickly, you might consider upgrading to one less restrictive (Larger).

I was thinking of geeting out and chewing her out but she jumped in her car real fast like and split. If I see that suv again I might accidantaly dent her door. OOPS!! We got those rubber bumpers on the edges of our doors ya know. Did buds302 say something about SE-i rear disks? How much shipped?

[ZackieDarko]

[onliLX-i]

No man I didn't see that. If you saw flashing lights though, thats another story. Pigs got me going "80+" Should I go to court? The cop might not show. If he did show then what would I say? I do have to put a good word in for him because he was a really nice cop.


OH, and thanks for not calling and making sure I wasn't dead!! LOL
