-I just brought a 88 accord dx coupe blue(not sure about the color) auto (i know) w/115xxx miles last few weeks ago...
For $400-not too bad...Body in ok shape(not the best)...
-Don't know so much about the carb engine(first time buying this year of accord)...but doesn't mean i'm new to honda...

Yo... ( CB7_ACCORD ) You're welcome....yeah..Id thought Id detour you to this site ..because you had no idea that 3rd gens were just as popular as CB7s!!

so Enjoy...you will be surprised at how much info there is on the 3rd gen..and the SWAPS...wow!!

theres a guy on here that has a CA accord with a H22A in it!!!

I will come back here ...or send you a post on CB7tuner ....aight!!

Nice looking Accord. One piece of advice however is if you have the knowledge working on cars swap the auto for a 5-speed. It is worth it. These carbs plus an auto=death.

come on why do people hate on the carbs all the time?? theirs nothing wrong with the carb.. the auto suxs balls if your going to be racing blah blah blah but for a daly driver who cares aslong as it runs but the 5spd is alot more fun for daily driver :P

anyhow i notice the rust on the driver side wheel well aww... that should be the priorty to get fixed first!!! befor you think about the motor and trany blah blah blah.....

O YEA USE!!! PRIMER WITH ZINK OXIDE I T..............................................
not the cheap shit

sweet, another one joined the dark side! :welcome: you won't regret it. :thumbup:

:huh: dark side?
thanks...i will need it...:thumbup:

go to eastwood.com get a can of their rust converter,really good stuff,not the wal mart kind,clean that wheel well down to bar metal and treat it. with that on there it won't come back. use the duplicolor self etch primer to prime before your regular primer. it's the only rattle can i'll use. nothing wrong with carbs i'm building crazy carbs myself. the possessed factory carbs are something else though. if they break,don't go to the dealer or a garage, call a japanese excorsist. we had a d-series army,a series army,carb army etc. etc. thing going for a while.
