Here's the video link:

Accord: Accord - YouTube

A friend wanted to buy it, but I talked him out of it, he's not mechanical enough. The You Tube link was to him.

I'm selling it as the price of having been unable to turn away from a triple mint 03 Audi A4 stick original owner 100k without a scratch. It's going in the garage, right where the Accord has been for, 13 years.

89 SE-i
5 speed
Bilstein's revalved twice until I got it right
Eibach Springs lowered 1"
UCA mounts adjustable to change camber.
Bronze-tinted glass exclusive to 89 SE-i
I'm the second owner, 2001
Mint leather
Original paint mostly
Hellas
JDM corner lights
Everything works, or will once I get a ps hose
Really nice OEM wheels
new tires
245k
Always changed my own oil. Motor fine.
This car was my baby until my wife said I couldn't visit customers in it., and a pickup backed into the RR quarter panel. That and some bricks fell on the hood, so I collected $2600 in insurance on it. I waffled for months whether to fix it up right, but ultimately couldn't pull the trigger.
Some rust in wheel arches. Have new arches that can be welded in.
Bose, Infinity speakers
A/C (Freon 12!) now faint, but worked 3 years ago when I parked it, it's just low.

When I was using the car, it never lacked. Always OEM parts: drive shafts, wheel bearings etc. No weird or clumsy custom touches - the suspension changes were a couple of thou until I got them right. It doesn't pogo stick or crash, just comes back as its supposed to.

Clutch and tranny perfect. No 5th gear weirdness with the tranny.

Extra parts, I don't even remember now: ecu, tail lights etc.

See my recent post https://www.3geez.com/forum/efi-tech/...my-garage.html
I don't want much money for it, probably $1k. What I want, like Mark, is someone who will take care of it.

Located CT near NYC. Can be driven anywhere. It's really fun to drive. I'd keep it forever, because I could never find another, but the garage is space-challenged, and I won't park it outside.

Oh no! Only 39 views and 1 response on this car? Am I going to have to put it on Craigslist, and actually sell it to someone that doesn't have any idea what they're getting? It would be like giving your dog to a well-meaning but kind-of clueless new owner, who, when faced with a vet bill, gives it to his broke son's friend, who "can fix cars."

You just put it on yesterday?

Good luck with your sale I know you have taken good care of it over the years.

good luck with the sale! if i had the room i'd be making a trip to pick up both this car and marks hatch. BTW idk what is with the 89 bronze windshield, mark mentioned about it when we met years ago for the NJ meet, i've noticed all 3 of my hatch's have the bronze tint, two of them were 89 LXI hatches and the other was a 87 lxi hatch.

I cracked the windshield twice. The first time was about '03,and there was a small skirmish with the insurance co because the aftermarket didn't make bronze, and the dealer was much more. I insisted, and they ordered it. The next time was' 07, and by then there were none in the USA, and only 1 in western Canada. They were out of production by then. The Honda dealer in Montreal was so nice, had it shipped in to them, held it for me for probably a month, all w/o a deposit.

I drove up to Montreal one February, cold as hell but super-clear, had the glass installed, lost $700 at the casino, and had a great trip. The car cruised at 80-85 the whole way.

yah i recall back in 2005 my first black hatch needed the windshield replaced due to a really bad split, all they had was blue tint and it annoyed me, just didn't seem right for the car. i wonder if the LX-i hatches got the same as the SE-i as far as windshields go. Just odd I had a bronze one in my 87 hatch (mark saw this) and my old 89 lxi hatch and my current 89 lxi hatch.

Still have this for sale?

[w261w261]

Yes, still for sale. I put a new power steering hose on. going to put it on CL I guess, but the thought of putting this car in the hands of someone who has no idea what it represents is kind of upsetting.
