Hey everyone, i registered here when i was suppose to buy a 89 accord dx from craiglist which eventually didnt happen. Since then i bought a 93 accord in august that i LOVE to death!! Has 275,8xx miles on her and i got her bone stock with a lot of problems for $1150 (overpaid, seller said only needed the AC recharged and rear window fixed..) Well a good $1500 or more later here she is!

This is my daily and i plan on doing a mild build to here and get her to 5 speed eventually. Now for the reason im back...

Obviously I like unique/uncommon honda's (thats why i have an accord!) and so along with my cb7 i am saving up to buy a 3rd gen project that I will build for racing. B18/B20 Turbo is what im shooting for. I want to get a hatchback if i can find one and preferably a LX-i. I still have a lot of research to do because idk if those are available in the US but i really want a hatch with a sunroof if not a coupe. Right now i have $15 and half of whatever money i make will go into that fund. $15 isnt much but its a start! Hope to see more of these beautiful machines and learn more about them as well! Thanks for lookin!

Nice CB7! Coupes and hatchbacks never came with factory sunroofs but if your lucky, you'll find one. If you plan on doing a swap, try to find one with a blown engine.

Thanks bro, i appreciate it! And really? Damn.. maybe a member on here would be selling one within my price range.. Im willing to travel to get one too haha well if there's no sunroof thats fine i really want a hatch tho, also i was planning on getting one that ran but maybe had some problems so while i get money for the build and stuff i can have a second car incase something ever happens.

Yeah I know right? And parts are all I really pat because me & my friends always help each other out and can do pretty much anything that can be repaired on a Honda.. Ohh and here's a lil update:


Got my new Konig B Bombs put on :)

At the shop, freshly put on

I want to find a nice condition Arcadia green hood at the JY now lol or a CF one. Might get some touch paint spray cans to do that and the scratches and my trunk..


They are 15x7 +38 offset.

oh my... very sweet rims!! i like the black hood look!! original color hood will good too...

when i was young, my buddies and i worked on our cars all the time.. i had a mustang mach 1 muscle car w/a 351 cleveland, toploader 4sp... actually, i still have it but in non-op storage awaiting a future restoration... this 88 lxi is now my daily driver and i'm trying to keep the drive train bone stock so that it can keep on going, and going, and going, and going...
