Hello guys and gals. Made the switch from GM (after owning/working on/fixing dozens over the past 12 or so years) to Honda yesterday! I grabbed an 89 Accord 5 speed with 150k miles. Interior is immaculate, exterior has a few dings and some rust spots but nothing too crazy. Has the hidden headlights, sunroof, power everything etc. I love it already although it needs some work:
Loud exhaust: has stock looking muffler though. Probably have a hole somewhere.
Needs front end alignment/balanced wheels.
Twitchy tach.
Driver side front window completely detached from track, held up with suction cups at the bottom to keep it from sliding into the door. New hardware needed? All other windows seem somewhat slow.
I plan on doing timing belt, seals, water pump, valve adjustment, and a complete tune up asap. Then a new converter and a less restrictive muffler possibly. What's the stock exhaust pipe size?
Finally, are there any quirks or common problems I should look for on the car?
Thanks in advance!
