    FOR SALE: My 1988 LX-i

    For Sale: 1988 Honda Accord LX-i

    This is my car, odometer showing 176xxx miles. The engine was replaced with a rebuilt one at 160xxx miles by Craft Car Care in Woodbridge Virginia (where I work) by ASE certified mechanics. I have taken good care of it and have installed nothing but brand name parts on it.

    Here I will list all of the modifications that I have had done on my car

    Engine:
    -Four Star Engines remanufactured A20A3 bored .020 over.
    -Gude Performance Race cylinder head ported and polished with a two way race valve grind and able to withstand 11.1:1 compression ratio. (stock cylinder head ported and polished by Gude)(also the head is milled slightly)
    -Gude Performance ported and polished intake manifold (stock throttle body ported and polished by Gude)
    -Gude Performance bored throttle body (stock throttle body bored by gude)
    -Gude Performance camshaft .242 lift and 282 duration
    Other Performance Modifications:
    -AEM custom intake with a K&N filter
    -DC sports header
    -Catco high flow catalytic converter
    -2.5 inch custom exhaust into an HKS universal Hiper muffler
    -ACT clutch - heavy duty pressure plate with a street/strip disc
    General modifications:
    -Eibach Pro - Kit springs (brand new)
    -Tokico HP Premium Shocks (brand new)
    -Sylvania Silver Star headlights (brand new)
    -Kenwood 6.5 inch two way speakers (front)
    -JVC 6x9 3 way speakers (rear, lots of bass)
    New Parts:
    -New radiator
    -New alternator
    -New windsheld
    -All new radiator hoses
    -New cap, plugs, wires
    Description:
    Aaaaallright, here it goes. The paint is in good condition, it was painted about 3 years ago. The only exception to this is I had to get a new front bumper and a new drivers side fender, when I got them painted, the shade was lighter than the rest of the car. Aside from that, it idles a little high at 1100 RPMs due to the camshaft. As far as appearance, I really haven’t done anything to it aside from painting the valve cover and other bits in the engine bay with 1200 degree black paint. Nothing in the interior has been painted. Other than that, the car is clean, no rust visible, good paint, very few dents. Also, since it only has about 16 thousand miles on the engine, there is plenty of life left in this car. Another thing I was thinking about is that it would be a perfect candidate for Sean’s turbo kit seeing as all the internals are new, and the cylinder head is capable of some pretty high compression, not to mention everything is ported and polished and the exhaust is already taken care of. I have all documentation of everything that has been done to my car, including the engine replacement, and invoices on all the parts purchased.
    Price:
    I have heard people say that it is hard to get reasonable money from 3rd gen Accords but when you look at all of the parts I have installed you can see where I have put damn near every penny of my money into it lol. The car has over 12 thousand invested in it believe it or not and I have all the documentation to prove it. Anyways here it is!!

    6,000 OBO PM me if interested I live in northern VA by the way.

    Also, any questions about anything just ask them here and i will answer.

    $6K? Even with all those mods, i highly doubt you'll get that much. It is a sweet ass ride with a lot done to it, but i'm afraid you'll have a hard time selling it for that much.

    Good luck though!

    ok, how about if we limit this post to people who might be interested in my car instead of peoples opinions, how does that sound.

    um, lets see
    i paid 1700 for the cyl head throttle body intake man, and cam.
    600 for the short block. since it only has 15k miles on it and is still damn clean and in great shape, i would say half of what i paid for it so 1,150, id rather have it lcal though, shipping will be a bitch, and whoever wants any of my things will be paying for shipping. with the trans and clutch, i dont really care about the trans and to be honest, you prolly wouldnt want it, the synchros are gone on it but the clutch is in good shape, has about 15k miles on it and still grips like hell, i can spin into second and chirp 3rd from time to time so lets say 1300 for clutch and tranny as well

    I see you're off to a good start here. Try that again and your stay will be short.

    Ryan, I'd be interested in the passenger side mirror. You have a PM.

    well, hold off on the dibs for now. i think there is some possibility i might get anotehr accord against my better judgement to keep some of the thousands of dollars i put into my engine and whatnot. if you guys only knew the completely unbelievable bad luck ive had with 3rd gen accords it would blow your minds. if there is enough interest i might tell the story in off topic, you wouldnt even believe it . . .

    alright im gonna answer that pm in a sec. um, as far as other things go, things like doors, door panels, seats, stuff like that is still good, not damaged, and the paint is less than 3 years old on it all, tail lights (except for the left driver side one) i have the drivers side sidemarker, (less than 3 months old) but there is a little chunk missing out of the very bottom corner, if any one is interested i could take a pic of it, let me know everyone! dont wanna take it to the junkyard if yall can use some stuff, by the way the interior is blue
