Hi Guys,
I found this place after browsing to find some facts on my latest ride. I've never owned a Honda or really had too much to do with them before ( always had Fords or Toyotas ) Anyway on my hunt for a new daily I uncovered a real gem, an 87 Accord auto sedan with only 120,000 kms on the clock! It had been sitting basically unused for the last 4 years since it's owner passed away, he purchased it brand new a week after retiring and treated it like his baby. The interior is spotless, not a stain or rip, the paint is incredible.. it's lived in a garage all it's life! After giving it a good service, changing out all the deteriorated gaskets and seals the only issues I found was a damaged oil pan ( which REALLY needs replacing ) and for some reason the timing was wayyyy too advanced! The only real cost was the new exhaust system, 2.25" custom made with a bullet cat, but it performs much better and sounds sweet so it's worth it. I found a lude a guy was wrecking locally here, I'm getting the 14" factory alloys and the front seats from him, also scored an aftermarket front bar the previous owner was planning to fit ( not sure if it's lude or integra? but it fit's up perfect, got it in primer atm ) next up I'm ordering a weapon r intake and a installing new stereo system ( I'll post some pics up soon )
A big thanks already to you guys for all the good information posted here, it's helped me heaps! I'm looking forward to contributing here in the future :thumbup:
