1988 DX Lookin for a good time (56k?)

[ChromeMouth.]

Well been a member on here for a while but first account I never used for posting and other day when I tried it hadn't been validated and never found a resend request button so just made a new one.

Anyway... I've got a nice clean '88 DX, was given to my by my grandmother about a month or so before she died, and I've had it about a year or so now I guess, and it's definitely my most prized possession. OK, Pics;

Yea I have the hubcaps but I like it more without 'em. But I'd really love a new header/exhaust, or even moreso a nice new suspension package, but really as long as it keeps on working I'll love it to death. Hasn't even turned over 100k yet, but then again I'm within 600 miles of that but whatever haha.

Also have some videos on youtube, mostly irresponsible driving and idiotic experiments, so I'll spare you haha. Anyway nice to be aboard the SS. 3Gee!

[A18A]

alloy wheels ftw :D

[AccordB20A]

a18 is getting his jollies cause he just got a hold of some alloy wheels FINALLY even tho they are butt ugly they should still be lighter than the steel rims.

[A18A]

Very CLEAN!!!!
sucks its a auto carb dx tho :( but its soo damn clean lol
5speed and efi swap needed tho :D

Heh I love my autotragic as it's been lovingly nicknamed by my friends.

But one question if anyone knows, are CA and CB suspension mounts and parts pretty simmilar? Cause I know theres just about no adjustable suspension setups for CA's, but thats really what I was looking for and I know theres a couple adjustable setups for CB's.

Also I love my clean steelies, but there are some BMW BBS wheels I could get cheap, too bad I'm so broke I can't even afford them anyway. :Owned: But thanks for the welcome :wave:

ground control and drop zone suspension sell coilovers for 86-89 accords.... but you need to run koni's to run stiff springs like those.

i would suggest getting tokico struts and h&r springs (1.5" drop)

Nice clean car. Keep it up!

And why do you guys hate carbs? They are not bad, it is not like he will gain 100hp just by doing an EFI swap. Wont be huge gains.

[AccordB20A]

when i swapped efi on the a18a i had it felt like a 100whp gain lol. it was also most as powerful as my worn out b20a. But thats compareing to a stock honda carb which is rubbish.

If the carb is clean and everything is in working order the car picks up quiet well for what it is.

I was looking at the H&R springs, but had been thinking KYB struts since they're pretty cheap, but I'll check out tokico's ;]

Also I'm pretty much leaving the engine untouched (omfgimaricerlol) with the exception of maybe a new air intake, it's just so tight as is I don't wanna do anything to even chance loosing some reliability or anything. Hence why I'm thinking suspension and stuff, then once (if ever) the engine craps out, I can throw something fun in there. J35 Anyone?!?
