Mint looking F1 Accord

[Steve_Si]

But it's too far away for me to buy!!! He wants US$280 for it with 95,000 miles on the clock and a dodgy oil pump.

Wohdog and Overdosed, this is much closer to you guys.

[ZackieDarko]

Wow

[89accordex4dr]

to far for me to get too:(

[2oodoor]

very cool car, never heard of it though. I wish they would have put pics of engine compartment. Does any body know the specs on this thing. Unique fin on the decklid too. Factory brochure?
awesome find for a 3geezer to pounce upon

[A18A]

selfmindead lives very near to hamilton.... crappy thing its too far away otherwise id buy it in a heartbeat... i can afford it too





hehe funny thing is that i quite often lurk trademe, then when i find a cool 3gee and post it on here, steve already beat me to it lol

[Civic Accord Honda]

[A18A]

heres a old quote:

The Accord 2.0Si F1 was a limited edition 1986 Accord model (JDM only I believe?). It had a full black/dark grey interior and the front seats had a Honda F1 Race Team emblem stitched into them. It had the same logo in the centre of the steering wheel and on the outside it had the emblem on the front window monsoons and on the bottom of the rear doors. As far as I have seen they only came in White.that's pretty much what makes the f1 different to every other 2.0si

[MessyHonda]

it has a b20 right?....to bad its auto

[A18A]

ya manuals are hard enough to find, i know of one i could get but its like $200, and i have no b20 to put it on :P

[MessyHonda]

let hope it does not shoot up in price

[Steve_Si]

Yeah it's just a 2.0si with F1 written all over it.

IMO the 2.0Si Exclusive is a nicer car, with full black leather interior, electric seats and climate air.

But that F1 is still cool, it even has the mugen front lip

[carotman]

Why are these cars in NZ anyway? :tongue: they would sell for 10 times the price here.

[forrest89sei]

Well why don't you do something about it then!

Mr. lives in a country that can import any cars thats 15 years or older!


JK

[2oodoor]

Dam this is frustrating, OK how much would it cost to bring back ten or so of these JDM cars to the States?
These are some cool cars to just let rust over in NZ, no offense, but if nobody wants them what happens to them.

[Steve_Si]

Why are these cars in NZ anyway? :tongue: they would sell for 10 times the price here.

I know your joking, but I'll explain anyway...

About 15 years ago we got rid of all import taxes on used and new cars. We are a RHD country, just like Japan. The Japanese culture, like alot of other asian countries, considers "old" cars to be worthless junk. After 5 - 10 years they ship their used cars off, and we get lots of them :D

We're starting to see 7th gen imports now, inc a 220HP K20A powered Euro-R. 5th gen imports have basically stopped.

You guys should pool your money, send someone with a bit of spare time here to organise a container load of parts. Not much point taking whole cars if you can't register them to be driven.

And yes, they are left to rust down some forgotten old part of a junk yard. It's a shame that no one here cares. There still are lots and lots around, but another 5 years and they will be a rare sight.

Excellant Idea, but unfortunatley, and I do not speak for everyone, we are a bunch of broke ass fuckers here. The table will turn soon enough though, and then the K20A Euro-R sounds a lot more enticing to make the trip.
Seriousley, the members of 3Geez should get together on something like this, to keep our cars up to date. I am not getting rid of mine anytime soon, and I would absoluetly buy another one.

[MessyHonda]

i still got pop ups and fuel injected a20 not a underpowered carb a18....so i guess we are kinda even...lol :deal:

[A18A]

my carb is not underpowered :slap: i had to tune it down a bit cause it was too fast

[MessyHonda]

lol faster than a a16

[forrest89sei]

hahah

But if you look at pauls site the A18 Makes more power then the A20A1.

I think it's cuz of it not having all the emission crap the A20A1 has.

[MessyHonda]

[1ajs]

not sure if hes got the money though i think he bought a bunch of b20 parts....

[Civic Accord Honda]

he has the money but he said it a lil far i hope u can get it matt :)

[A18A]

nah its too far + with a oil pump problem that i have no clue how to fix, no way are we towing that 300 - 400k, the 4gee struggles enough just going over hills let alone hauling twice its weight

[carotman]

I guess I should start importing those.

I need funds tough.

[MessyHonda]

dont you guys have like 3 4th gens...use your dad or moms

[A18A]

no we only got 2 and my dads one only runs on 3 - 3.5 cylinders and mums one is just weak for a odd reason, lost power going up hill @ 80k foot flat to the floor, and we dont trust my car :D

[MessyHonda]

take both cars...like a locomotive....one pulls and the other one pushes...lol

[Steve_Si]

Why not just organise a company to transport it for you? Would probably cost around $200. With that car's mint looking body and rare interior it's worth the asking price even if the motor is completely screwed. You could just stick anothe A18A in it :P

Your parents should ditch these NZ New 4th gen and get a nice 2.0Si import. B20B powered and some even have 4 wheel steering. If I was a 4th gen fan I'd get this http://www.autotrader.co.nz/used-car/HONDA/ACCORD/Canterbury/1566152.aspx

lol i would if i could, but thats the $200 i dont have spare :thumbdn: i would have gotten that manual f1 up here if he was still selling the whole car, but since he decided to part it out, he can get &$#!@ with his prices

[Steve_Si]

I thought that the way trademe works, you can't set the reserve any higher than 10 times the starting price? Which means it might go for as little as $100. Then you could transport it :)

[A18A]

:rly: i didnt know about that reserve rule, never sold anyhting on there yet...

but it does after all say "buyer must pick-up' unless vehicle transporters go and pick up the car themselves

[Steve_Si]

:rly: i didnt know about that reserve rule, never sold anyhting on there yet...

but it does after all say "buyer must pick-up' unless vehicle transporters go and pick up the car themselves

I'm not sure if the rule still exists.

Anyway you can organise a transporter to do door to door delivery

[A18A]

ill have to look up on that, $200 is alot cheaper than what i thought it would be to transport a vehicle this great of distance. if we would have done this ourselves, we would prolly end up spending about $100 on petrol, plus hirring out a trailer/dolly trailer/a-frame would be another $40 or so, plus the pies and drinks on the trip would be another $10, so it would end up being better getting it transported

go get it son....then you can part out your a18...lol

[A18A]

go get it son....then you can part out your a18...lol
i was actually thinking that since no-one is interested in a $800 car lol........ i'd happily get it if the car was $100 + $200 shipping...... just looking for vehicle transporters.. i wonder what i can get for my a18? lol 20 cents for the superstage badge, $20 for the bumper lights, $5 for the map light hehe woo

[MessyHonda]

come on go do it...and get that manual tranny from the other guy slap it together...oh yeah get your damn drivers licence so you can go race some ricers.

[EX-ileAccord]

I guess I should start importing those.
I need funds tough.
What you need is a partner, a fellow Canadain partner :D

[2oodoor]

What you need is a partner, a fellow Canadain partner :D
sounds good, what about the 15 year rule thing? doesn't that mean you can get the cars directly from Japan just like New Zealand?

[A18A]

a 3gee alone is prolly rare as hell in japan now days :(

[A18A]

this guy reckons about $300 - $400

pete's towing here in whangarei are by far the cheapest of anyone i've ever used. we brought a big horsetruck up from hamilton to whangarei a while back and it was $600. (took about three car spaces). i'd think you'd be looking at $300-$400 with todays prices??? hmmm

[snoopyloopy]

yeah, the scourge of being poor college students. but seriously, i think if we got some of the more deep pocketed members of society interested in our cars or find the ones who are, we could get some good done for the 3g community. and i wouldn't mind f1 insignia all over my car. would be quite sensational, if you ask me.

[A18A]

beats type r all over the car i supose

i usually hate pinstriping, but i like the way it's done on that car

[EX-ileAccord]

I think we can import any car form anywhere if its 15 years old.

and keep fast fingers at the end and a nice big RELOAD button!

[A18A]

i was planning on waiting till the last couple minutes and putting on autobid, and keep hitting refresh or something

[2oodoor]

OH man, I think i just had a hondgasm from those pictures. It is soo beautiful


It is so beautiful, gorgeous...

[Steve_Si]

Damn I forgot all about the buy-sell-exchange! There are two I need to check out:

A F1 here in Christchurch for NZ$1000 ono

And this one: "HONDA Accord, 1987, pop up head light model, 2ltr, 5spd manual, low kms, abs, p/s, e/w, e/m, all mods cons, am/fm stereo, no rust, tidy car, brand new reg & wof $1150 ono" oh please let it be a 2.0Si!!!!

I'll chase them up tomorrow and post the results, which hopefully will include photos of a 3G!

Edit: The F1 is a 5 speed and has done around 85000 miles. But I can't view it until Wednesday next week.

[A18A]

^^yyyaaaaaayy, any up northland?

[A18A]

i want his gearbox http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Honda/auction-85521444.htm

http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/23/34507523_full.jpg

I would think it's a B18 seeing as it has carbs, but who knows :P

As for that thing in the auction, stay clear of that shit. The car pictured is not a 2.0Si, it's a 1.8. Also it's listed as a Honda Primera?!? The Primera is a Nissan which the yanks will know as a G20. He doesn't know what the hell he is selling lol.

[A18A]

o tru, the guy selling it said it was a b20a, it's in some early 90's lude, but it looked like the one from our cars

[MessyHonda]

tell him to take a pic of the serial number

[Steve_Si]

Well the second car I listed has already been sold :(

So now I have to wait until Wednesday to see if the F1 5 speed is any good. For $1000 (US$700) it's probably a pile of shit, but I'll check it out anyway. Maybe 3geezus will smile down upon me.

[A18A]

^^well at least it's a manual, i was gonna buy this F1 off trademe (5spd) but he decided to part it out, it's a sack of shit anywways, and he's a rip off

[Civic Accord Honda]

i was gonna buy this F1 off trademe (5spd) but he decided to part it out, it's a sack of shit anywways, and he's a rip off

LOL @ Sack of shit what 2 months ago u said that car was god LOL ROFLMAO

[A18A]

LOL @ Sack of shit what 2 months ago u said that car was god LOL ROFLMAO
yeah it WAS good, untill he decided to bump up the price a few hundred $ for parts that have been sitting for 3 years in a paddock that gone rusty

[Steve_Si]

I see it has hit $200 :O You still in?

[A18A]

nah, i have no way of getting it back home :( towing company costs $320 +gst

im looking at this one instead http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=85333068 i know it's no were near as good, and its condition is quite shitty but heh, it'll be a good project car

[Steve_Si]

Damn that's some high kms. At least it has fogs, foldings mirrors and the electric bumper pole :) I'm not sure, but I think it has climate air controls too. JDM goodies galore!

[Steve_Si]

Unbelievable, it went for $215 (US$150). The body looked so good too. I bet the one I check out next week has a rusty/dented body. Would have been great to get both of them.

[MessyHonda]

for 150 that was a steal...

[A18A]

yup, i wish i did get it but i had no way of getting it home :(

anyways, steve, see these, 2 accords for the price of 1 lol :P http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Honda/Engines-drive-trains/auction-85712686.htm the perfect car hehe

[Steve_Si]

Yeah not bad for $100 reserve. Too far away for me to bother with anything but a perfect car though. There are 2 in Chch too http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=85202231&key=203205

[A18A]

those 2 are pretty clean :)

sucky that they are most likely a18's

[Steve_Si]

Well if this F1 turns out to be crap, I could always get a F1 CRX. I didn't even know they existed lol http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=86009794&key=379302

http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/97/34881097_full.jpg
