Yo yo yo what it is. So i just got an 85 base model hatchback for $500.00 bucks with 100,000 on it and i was wondering if any of you had some ideas as to what all i will be able to do to it for perfomance/looks/handling upgrades. I know i got a crazy sweet deal on this ride and have already performed a major tune up on it so there is no reason it should not last forever. Been through the forum a little and liked what i saw so i decided to join. Oh and i'm in WA state so if there are any local guys around drop a line maybe i could check your rides out to get some ideas.

Hey whats up. Another 2gee guy. And in Washington! I'm in Olympia, where abouts are you? You should get some pics up! Check out 84Accord's ride, he's done some pretty trick customizing to his car! With the right mods, you can get some decent power out of that thing, even carb'd. You've got more options than you think if you get creative on the engine. There are tons of ideas.
You can get Whiteline Swaybars, King Springs to drop it a bit, 84 Accord built some strut tower bars, and you can put some 15 inch wheels and tires to really spice it up a bit, they're a good fit for the car.
Good work on the tune up first thing! rjudgey has a motor with over 160hp that he built out of a 2nd gen motor. With bolt ons, I was able to get mine up to almost 100whp even after 310,000 miles. Here's my dyno:

I'm just getting started on a B20A swap for it right now. Should be fun! What are you thinking about doing as far as finding a direction you wanna go?
