Hello, thanks for having me in the forum. My name is Ben and I reside in St. Petersburg, FL. I'm 28 years old and my first car was a 1986 Honda Accord LX when I was 16. I beat the hell out of it, riced it out, flipped it, and it still kept going. I was a pretty dumb teenager. I sold it to a friend and moved down to Florida. I've built an EJ1 single cam turbo, EF hatch B18C1 swap, and a few muscle car builds. All these years later I still couldn't fill that void with any of those cars. So yesterday I purchased a 1989 Honda Accord LX. I've still got a week before I go pick it up and then I'll post photos. But I test drove it and it runs like a top. I'm quite familiar with the A series motors so I knew what to look for. I'm going to daily it and do very minimum visual and suspension modifications. I'm saving for an Ef sedan currently. So once that purchase is made I plan on building the Accord sedan properly. (In my eyes) I'm focusing on giving the car a mix between the classic 80's JDM look and a bit of Americanization as well. No crazy stance, but well lowered. Possibly a motor swap if I can decide on a capable power plant that would be worth the headache. I am a capable mechanic and I know how to use the search option extensively before asking questions. My end goal is to have two very dependable, well built, 80's model Hondas and attend some shows and events. I hoping everyone here can help me with my build and I can do the same. So excited!!!!! Despite whatever my second car ends up being, this car will belong to me for good. No matter what.
