I'd hate to say it you guys, but just about the only person really on this board with an 82 or 83 is guyhatesmycar. The search on this site sometimes really sucks ass and won't pull up what you're looking for. It's just the nature of knowing how to form your query based on the way the search on the site works...

AND only ONE of the links that was posted (besides the Welding Thread) has any pics of an 82 or 83. So you guys should not starting flaming so quickly. The 82-83 2g is a LOT different from the 84-85 2g.

Different engines. The 82-83 had almost the same engines as the 81. The body styling was different in a few places. The suspension and interior are about all that's the same...

Ichiban
11-08-2006, 06:35 PM
so what are the dif between the 2

well...

Exterior: Late 2Gens had single piece bumpers front and rear, while early cars had 3 piece bumpers with side "bumperettes". Late 2g grills were quite varied, some having grilles and others with a header panel (the nose piece that appears to cut off the front 2'' of the hood and fenders) and no grille per se. Early 2g's had no header panel, the hood extended over the grille and finished with crome moulding, which extended down around the headlights and front markers. Late cars did not have this trim. The rear of the hoods differ as well, on the late 2g the hood extends in 2 "wings" around the cowl vent to the bottom of the windshield on either side, early 2g's have a fixed cowl piece. The hood ends even across with the cowl/vent assembly. Late 2g's lost a lot of the polished aluminum trim from the windshield, marker light, door mouldings and hatch trim areas, depending on trim level. The late 2g's also lost the rear quarter marker light. The early taillights have rounded edges that give the appearance of slightly bulging out. The late tailights appear more flat and flush fitting. The hatchlids changed as well, with the late cars having an upturned lip at the bottom edge.

Interior:

The late 2g's got updated gauge clusters, with prelude style gauges starting at a 9 o'clock zero, and the lettering on dash controls changed slightly. Steering wheels changed (for the better) and the HVAC controls were revised. The rest of the interior was largely the same.

Mechanical:

The late cars share little with the early ones from the firewall foreward. The engine bay was lengthened, and as the early cars had the rear exhaust EK-1 and (canada) EL engines, which were sourced from the 1st gen accord. the late car was designed to accomodate the front exhaust ES,ET and EZ(canada) engines, which share many commonalities with the A-series (in fact, I believe that the EZ is infact the A16, however not confirmed. The ES and ET engines are virtually identical to the A18). In response to the new engine, the front crossmember was reconfigured to allow the exhaust downpipe to clear between it and the block. Also, a bump out was added to the drivers side frame rail to clear the alternator, now mounted at the back of the engine. Transmission bellhousing patterns changed to interface with the infant A-series engines.

Yeah the 82 and 83 are quite a bit more stylish. However, I think the 84-85 are more modern looking. But compared to the 3g, they're still old looking. :)

82-3 models are the last of a long gone breed. Starting in 84, pretty much everything went to good old black, snap on plastic. I think the 82 and 83's look so dated, but they do have more chrome and more of an old school vibe. It's like the 2.5 generation Accord was a transition from the "metallic" car look to the "black plastic" car look. Man, the 82 and 83 Accords rusted worse than any other Honda IMO. The 84's and on kinda flowed pretty smoothly; the 82-3's look more assembled I guess. Now, everything is all plastic-- black, gray, and tan. The exterior of the new stuff is all one color.

11-09-2006, 04:14 PM
Personally I prefer the one-piece bumpers on the later cars. I do prefer the 82-83 hood/grille/marker light combo. The header panel on the later ones looks "clip together" to me. Since I'm shaving the trim on my hatchback, I really have no preference for either trim. If I could get an 84-85 hatch and swap on my hood, grille and fenders, that'd be sweet! I prefer the early gauge cluster though.

Bah, too much time invested in my car anyways, gotta get it painted.

I think those malaysian cars with the one piece bumpers (like the red one) look fucking phenomenal.

I agree. Both of those red ones that have been swapped bumpers really do look amazing. That red first gen looks sweet (aside from the interior) with those more modern bumpers, and so does that red 82-83. Those are really cool rides. I just wish more people around here were into them like that.

Yeah I forgot about the red 1gen as well. I was thinking of either doing crome 1gen bumpers or the one piece 2.5gen ones. Wonder if I can paint them body colour?

Are you talking about painting the 1 gen. bumpers body color or the 2.5 Generation bumpers body colored? If you're talking about the 2.5 gen. plastic bumpers, I can tell you all the hell about those! I'm not much for spraying the chrome ones body color and I've never seen it done properly.

You CAN paint them body color. I was planning on painting my bumpers ALL body color and my door mouldings as well. But then not a week after I was planning it, I SAW one like that. It looked horrible. Of course, it was the Blue color that my car is painted. You might be able to get away with it if it were a different color, or at least left the chrome visible.

Did you have problems painting yours? Was it because you started off with the black bumpers and painted those?

Maybe if you bought some bumpers that were already painted from the factory, the plastic would be better prepped for paint and it would make it easier. Like some LX bumpers or something. When mine got repainted, it wasn't any more difficult than the rest of the car... The grey trim was actually color matched bumper paint in a rattle can, and that wasn't too bad either.

It can be done, according to some people and it can't be done according to others. I tried like hell to find a set of used LX bumpers for my job, but I couldn't. My bumpers were in great shape, but they were black from the factory. I called a few places and got split opinions-- everything from "NO, it won't work esp. when it gets cold" to "We do it all the time, just gotta use promoter and flex agent." I called a small shop that has done work for me and they do good work. At first, they said it wouldn't work because my bumpers weren't meant to be painted a color since they were black from the factory. We even dropped them off and he said he wasn't confident they would adhere. I was bummed. Then, he called and said that he talked to his rep and he thought he had a product that would work for adhesion. I took the covers in and they came out tight. I stuck with the OEM look; I didn't paint the whole cover, just the lower portion. That makes it harder to get adhesion because you have an obvious bridge from the taped off area. I have seen the entire bumper done and it is too much color for me. Plus, the side moldings are still black.
Mine have started to peel VERY slightly at that bridge. I think it is due to the car wash in town. They power wash you before you go through. I mean it is a HARD power wash. Sounds like it's gonna come through even. I figured it would peel (even though they were plenty cured), but it is very slight and hasn't gotten worse. I could touch it up and you'd never know. I think if I would have had the whole cover done, it wouldn't have peeled. I doubt it would have peeled if I would not have had the 2800 PSI water jet hit the bumper. The body shop guys told me I might have fared better if I had found a set that had been painted at the factory. Overall, I'm happy and the guys did me a solid by telling me they really weren't sure how well MY black bumpers would hold paint because of the porous texture. Here's pics.

So it can be done, but you really have to prep them and do it right. And avoid the power wash!!e

It is to adjust beam height, 3 positions, 2passengers, 4 passengers, and laden with luggage. It moves the lights at a glacial pace. According to the Honda shop manual "Headlight adjuster must be replaced as an assembly" really useful.

That is about as idiotic as toyota's load sensing proportioning valve for the rear brakes. It uses an arm mounted to the rear axle to detect suspension sag and apply more rear brake bias. My suspension lift pretty much ruined that rosy thought, and to replace the trashed valve was over 200 bucks.

Yes I had to look up that older Ebay listing again last night also too see how it went. Too special.
But confused by the relisting, & sad to hear you suggent current owner apparently hadn't had it long.

Regarding the Headlamp adjustment I'm surprised they didn't do it automatically off a lever & valve attached to the rear suspension like my Lancia Beta, especially since I thought upper spec models (as were availible in the UK) already had a proportioning valve back there for the rear brake proportioning like guyhatesmycar's Toyota... or was that only for a higher model spec. than yours.

Its all good; it was just a heads-up. But yea, thats more than $7k US. If i had the money i still wouldn't pay that much. Maybe like $5,500 at the absolute most.

High Retail Value
This vehicle would be in excellent condition overall. It could be a completely restored or an extremely well maintained original vehicle showing very minimal wear. The exterior paint, trim, and mechanics are not in need of reconditioning. The interior would be in excellent condition. Note: This value does not represent a "100 Point" or "# 1" vehicle *.
* "100 Point" or "# 1" vehicle is not driven. It would generally be in a museum or transported in an enclosed trailer to concourse judging and car shows. This type of car would be stored in a climate-regulated facility.

I would consider that car 100 Point. So the question is: Is it worth twice as much as one in restored condition?
