Just got an 89 DX! Pics!

Hey all! I just picked up this 1989 Accord DX 5-speed. It has 134,xxx on the clock, the interior is pretty good for that age, body is a little banged up but surprisingly no major rust. I got this pretty much to be my gas saver for work. Paid $900 for it! I'm somewhat familiar with hondas. I had owned a 91 CRX Si for 7 years which I swapped in a DOHC ZC motor. It runs good but has a little funny idle and seems like it's a little bumblely like it might need plugs or something outta wack.

So far the only thing I did was a tad of sea foam for the carb and some in the gas tank. I ordered a new set of NGK Wires & V-Power Plugs. The distributor appears it was replaced at one point. And the head looks like it also could have gotten a new gasket. Guess I'll have to dig the timing gun out. Anyways, just sharing some info! Enjoy the pics and I even found the factory manual with the factory radio book too lol!

Welcome to the forum. Looks like you found a car that still has years of life left. And, yeah, older cars are often missing the manual; you were lucky there.

Thanks! Yeah I always enjoy finding original manuals. The radio one is a bonus lol. This forum is great I already got some stuff printed out and ready to start checking things Saturday.

Welcome from California! Do you have any plans for the car? Post pics of the CRX when you have a chance.

I do not own it anymore, that got sold years ago. Children came along so the toy had to go :(. But I think I have some pics of it I'll look later for them.

As for the Accord right now I just want to get it running right and after that who knows. The body isn't too bad so it does temp me to possibly start a project with this.
