New User/Owner 1987 Honda Accord

Hey guys, figured I'd introduce myself. Recently acquired a 1987 Honda Accord with a carb'd A20 for $600. The initial intentions were for it to be my girlfriend's car while I build my Civic but it has quickly gone off the rails and I fell down the rabbit hole that is 3geez.

Right now the plans are to try and find some 2nd Gen Prelude UCAs, a set of Cheddas LCAs, and swap out the stock carb for a Holley to make it more streetable for a daily. Once I've done that I have some much more intense plans for her, but in the meantime, I'm just trying to get it back to it's former glory. Glad to be a part of the community and excited to contribute!

Welcome! Post pics of the new obsession when you can.

Here she is, the new obsession that will likely take up all of my time and all of my money even though I say i plan to just do "small" upgrades.

Thanks man. I was honestly really excited when my girlfriend showed me the car. I haven't really ever seen many, if any Honda's around me that are earlier than 1990, so it was something new for me, and for her as well. I really want to fix the paint because I'm a fan of the grey, and then plan to give the interior a bunch of love. It's not in bad shape, it's just dirty from sitting forever.

Have fun with it.

Update time!

Just ordered myself a new ignition and door locks because the keys it came with were extremely worn. And at $14 for the door locks, and $18 for the new ignition, I couldn't pass it up. Next week I'm ordering new rotors, drums, pads, wheel cylinders, calipers, the whole shebang, for all four corners of the car. After that I have a few small things I'm gonna do like swap out the old thermostat for a brand new 180* and do a full flush since the car sat for so long. Followed by the obligatory oil change and so-on. I'll post pics and updates in a new thread as I get the project goin!

Been awhile since I've checked in because life has been pretty busy lately. Finally got some time set aside and picked up a Weber 32/36 carb for the A20 for a cool $100 cash. It came with an MG Midget intake on it that I plan to sell in hopes of recouping some of the money I spend on upgrading things on the Accord to improve drivability. Now I just have to order the adapter and we'll be one step closer to getting her truly roadworthy!

That looks like a fun project!
