welcome. ...yeah, I can't friggen believe after damn near 8 years of this forum being alive, not one person has taken that name.
Pics please. (post them in here if you want, but make sure you start a thread about it in the Accord Pics section too).
Welcome aboard.
I guess you could call me "old old" guy. It's is approaching nine years on the forum for me. Is it sad that I have owned this car for over twenty years? It's literally gotten to the point where I am afraid to give it up and get something new. Lucky for all of us that these cars are substantially overbuilt and will hold up like few other vehicles ever made. At this point even Honda probably wishes they had not been so well made. Welcome to the "club" and ask about anything. I can guarantee that just about anything you need to know is lurking in someone's brain here.
Old guy lol ,i've been working on old honda's all the way back to 70's civics lol.
Yeah, I did a bit of work on a friend's 76 and 77 Civics. They were a really complex maze of wires and hoses back then. After the 80's they actually started becoming simpler under the hood. I do believe that the third generation Accords were the pinnacle of the designer's art. Of course, I am a bit biased. My best friend's dad had an '84 LX sedan and I thought it was pretty sweet at the time.
Welcome here.. You like it here :D and since youre lucky to get that nice nickname, you dont have any choice but to have your Accord, I'm sure you like it here, and will learn alot of basic Honda and engines..
dont forget the picks :D
dont welcome me so soon, someone wants to trade me a newer, less miles del sol. only bad thing is its in primer.
Hey man i'm new to thhis forum also...
Just a couple of years older than you but even I will tell you....STAND OUT
Our cars can stand out much much more than any del sol.

If you're gonna get a Del Sol, might as well get a Miata. At least if you're gonna go ghey, go RWD.
i've seen some sleepers that would blow a lot of cars away. not my style, but don't assume just because it's a del sol that is doesn't have something different under the hood. and whats wrong with a Miata? with some work and readily available parts, they can be made into one mean road course race car. or a really fast street car. They are a big deal in competition driving. I've even seen one with a big block crate motor under the hood yet looked bone stock.Quote:

I bought it bone stock with 250 something thousand on it.
Hopefully that gives you some inspiration :tongue: Welcome to the board.
no shit i know a guy with an h22 in a bone stock del sol with just a 2" drop... car moves out, but they're heavy for a civic at nearly 2500 lbs... with the H in there you could add another 80... 2600lb car with 200hp still moves but i'd rather have a gutted 92 eg hatch in CX trim with an H, 2094lbs stock with all the interior, another guy i know had one gutted with a b16 and it weighed 1996lbs with him in it, he was small and asian only about 130lbs but damn that's light... 2000lb car with 200hp... 1:10 is a good ratio.Quote:
