    ACCORD SPECS: tell us your specs?

    Hey fellas,
    I'm just curious to the specs of your Accord. Y'know there are heaps of Accords out there who have no idea about 3Geez.com
    But Anyways, - whats your specs on your Accord?
    Mine is the Australian Model Si.
    Its Auto
    Its Slow
    But its reliable...
    I put 15"s on it - and it looks very tidy...
    currently fixing up the sound system...
    tell us your thoughts on your ACcord!

    mine is an 86 lxi with a stock exterior.

    my mods include a 2.25 cat back exhaust and a modified civic intake (it did help a bit)!!

    i have headers sitting in my living room that will probably be on tomorrow afternoon!

    for sound system i have a panasonic mp3 playing lcd head unit.
    planet audio 50.2 amp (hits way harder though) powering 2 10" poineer subs! then i have pioneer 3-way 6.5's all around the car.

    i think thats all i have done to my car...

    ahh yes i have h&r springs with newer struts...

    most of this is in my sig anyway! lol this car is still slow though!

    Yeah, I've got the EFI model in mine, and it is still slow Not only that the power steering and automatic all take away from the small amount of power our engine puts out. But anyways.... Anyone got positives about our cars?! Apart from the fact that they look good and newer than they actually are. Many people come up and say, what year is yours? 1990 what?
    I'm like hehe yeah right its an 88!
    They're like :O
    Nice car anywho

    As my sig says, 88 DX with a 5-speed so that helps. Flipped air lid and red turn signals. Other than that it's stock, even the radio.

    Wish I still had the 16" 5-spokes I had on my old Miata. That would look tight. But I left them on the car when I traded.

    My accord is a 1989 AERODECK ex auto.

    My mods are H&R springs, Koni shocks, Stil-auto wheels with Toyo tyres, CRX front lip(modifyed), Alpine sound system.
    It has a A20 carbed engine with auto at the moment but have just bought a B20A engine with 5 speed to put in(when I have rebuilt it first).
    I have about £2800 GB pounds in my car at the moment including most of the mods.

    Jeebus... I don't even wanna think about how much I have spent altogether on my 3g... I'll probably faint.

    Anyhow... mods:

    Spectre shortram intake, Openloop cam, Ractive strut bar, Accel coil, DC Sports headers (Monday!!!), 3A Racing fartgun, Pacesetter adjustable throw shifter with Pacesetter urethane shifter bushings, Autometer gauges, removed power steering and air conditioning systems, Vortech fuel pressure regulator, H4 headlight conversions, LED turn signal conversion all around, shaved door locks, Omega keyless entry, Jenny mp3 stereo, Crunch and Pyle component systems (Front/Rear), a bit of Streetglow neon lighting, and a Proform shift light.

    I still have goodies to add, just haven't had the time.

    Hrmm....read the below description, but it's about right. And yes, the frying pan adds power

    Soon to have a re-cammed A20 from an 89 SEi thrown in. I run an auto due to having to drive all day in Atlanta traffic, and my kneews don't take kindly to clutches much anymore.
