i don't know if this is the right place to do intro...
i try seaching and see if there is about not doing stuff like that here but no i didn't find any...
-if i post in the wrong place please let me know..

anyway...
-i'm a new member here and didn't know that there is this place of this year of accord until a member from "cb7tuner" told me about this site..
his screen name here is "HondaEnthusiast1980"...=thanks buddy..:)
and another one "a18a"= thanks...:)

-I just brought a 88 accord dx coupe blue(not sure about the color) auto (i know) w/115xxx miles last few weeks ago...
For $400-not too bad...Body in ok shape(not the best)...
-Don't know so much about the carb engine(first time buying this year of accord)...but doesn't mean i'm new to honda...

-have already read some stuff but not all of it...maybe you guys can point me to where to read all this stuuff about this year of accord..

other than that heres the pictures..(not the best,i know)

Nice looking Accord. One piece of advice however is if you have the knowledge working on cars swap the auto for a 5-speed. It is worth it. These carbs plus an auto=death.

come on why do people hate on the carbs all the time?? theirs nothing wrong with the carb.. the auto suxs balls if your going to be racing blah blah blah but for a daly driver who cares aslong as it runs but the 5spd is alot more fun for daily driver :P

go to eastwood.com get a can of their rust converter,really good stuff,not the wal mart kind,clean that wheel well down to bar metal and treat it. with that on there it won't come back. use the duplicolor self etch primer to prime before your regular primer. it's the only rattle can i'll use. nothing wrong with carbs i'm building crazy carbs myself. the possessed factory carbs are something else though. if they break,don't go to the dealer or a garage, call a japanese excorsist. we had a d-series army,a series army,carb army etc. etc. thing going for a while.
