I joined the site last month but just now started really getting into it. About a month ago I got myself a steal! 1989 LX-i coupe. :) I love it so far! It needs a lot of work and I'm also going to get some custom work done to it for a better looking interior. A20A3 engine and a 5 speed on the floor. It's awesome! The interior is in great condition but I dont much like the color. XD brown is not my favorite even if it was originally a brownish red. Plan on doing some custom fab for the dash and deck cover. As well as custom fab back seats and some black recaro front seats (when I get the money of course) until the recaros im looking at getting some 88 or 89 prelude front seats. I would even love to convert all the interior to the tan/black stock interior from another 89 accord if I can find one in great shape! My car needs a lot of work since I spent only $700 on it.. but overall it was awesome for the price. I'll po. Pictures and such in the future after I move. Chandler AZ in January!

Welcome. Hope to see some pictures soon, something I can compare my 88 LX-i coupe to.

Haha. There wont be much to compare yet. It needs a lot of visual work too. As well as mechanical. Starting with a valve cover gasket.

Anyone know the torque specs on the valve cover bolts? I haven't gotten a repair manual yet

Nice, another coupe! If you need a service manual, download this one (http://honda.roadpwnage.com/manuals/pages/usdm-accord-1989-full.php) or go to the 3geez wiki for other manuals!
