hey all. ive been on here for a while and cant find much or get any replies.. maybe im asking in the wrong area. i have an 87 lxi hatch and was wondering if anyone had aftermarket sites so i can get an idea on where to start. Suspension mods and brake kits are in big concern as well as power mods. any help will be appreciated.!!

Hey I've got a 1988 Honda Accord Lxi hatch and I'm looking for upgrade ideas, this accord you have is exactly the paint scheme and setup I want to build over time, but I want to find a turbo kit for mine (MOAR POWER) I'm also going to look into more performance parts. A20A3 engine 5-speed tranny Weapon R Air intake with Ram Air Kit Brand new Perfection Clutch Kit with new Rear main seal, Brand New suspension rear and front, old catalytic converter and old glasspack with new dynomax muffler, new radiator and a new Grant Challenger Series Steering wheel.

Wow this thread is ancient, I even forgot about it haha.

I'm glad to hear that you like the car man, just do your searching on the forum and you can probably find just about everything you're looking to get.
