Hey guys, just bought myself an 88 accord lx-i hatchback :)

[ghettogeddy]

welcome got any pics what u gona do with it

[frantik]

:welcome: pics?

[Kemikals]

I do have a few but have to get them off friends camera. Right now just tune it up and get it ready to be a daily driver. Someone stripped the threads for the spark plugs, broke a few wheel studs, and it has a huge hole in the exhaust. Hopefully in the future though i'm going to find a descent motor and tranny from the p&p and rebuild both. For right now just do some basic things like put a cold air intake(I heard one for a 5th gen accord will fit nicely?). The body's in great shape just a few small rust spots that i've addressed.

sweet, a new member who searched! you're already our friend! :welcome:, and enjoi your stay!

[BITESIZE]

Welcome!! Hatches rule!

[Kemikals]

They do rule :) I needed a daily driver and in the trading post I got it from it didn't say it was a hatch. Nothing personal, but I don't much care for the older non hatch body styles :) so I was thoroughly pleased after I saw it. It has 160k miles on it, still brand new for a honda :), so it was 800 dollars well spent.

[BITESIZE]

If you are looking for an intake, make it yourself with the jc whitney piping like mine. Money well worth spent!
