My 2nd Gen LX Sedan Pics

2ndGenGuy · 02-01-2006, 01:32 AM

Here's a couple pics of my 1984 Accord LX. It's pretty much stock, it did get a nice new paintjob and some rims.

Showin' off the Acura rims. (Stpuid shirt ruined picture)

I need to learn how to use my camera a bit better...

Showin' the Accord a little love. Stripped the hood and roof with aircraft stripper. Removed everything off the body, sandblasted off all the rust, and filled in those nasty door dings. You woudln't even know from the first two pics, but my friend's dad smashed in the entire driver's side with his '96 Accord while my car was parked.

255,000 miles, and runs excellent!
Hope you enjoyed the pics. I know I've enjoyed the crap out of these forums, especially all the sweet engine swaps in the 2nd Gens.

**aerokid1987** · 02-01-2006, 05:54 AM

Way cool man! That is one hot girl!

**EricW** · 02-01-2006, 06:20 AM

Thats Hot! Good work.

**Deadhead** · 02-01-2006, 08:24 AM

i assume your speedo is broken right? if not, that's a good quality picture for going 110 mph lol

looks very very nice... great work.

Did the 2g's come in EFI at all?

2ndGenGuy · 02-01-2006, 08:55 AM

No the speedo's not broken.

That was me downhill on a really long stretch with a tailwind.

And yeah, the 85 SEi came with EFI. They're very rare. Came with alloys, leather, and a sunroof.

One of these days, I'm going to get myself a 2nd gen.

We rarely see them up here. They were eaten by car cancer

I love the oldschool look on those.

**HondaBoy** · 02-01-2006, 10:52 AM

i remember finding a 2nd gen accord a long ass time ago that was the SE-i at the junk yard. didnt know what i was lookin at whenever that was. there's a 2nd gen SE-i running around town that i tried to buy but they wanted too much for. its a grey one. your 2nd gen look really clean.

**Bglad420** · 02-01-2006, 10:58 AM

Arent 2g garbage??? Way underpowered, and clumbsy cars, my gf had a 2g hatch, and my cousin had sedans, I hated them. But all and all your car looks pretty good, nice ans shiny.

2ndGenGuy · 02-01-2006, 12:49 PM

I wouldn't say they're garbage. Maybe not quite as improved as a 3g, but not really all that different mechanically. Sure, they're a bit rust prone, but they still run forever as does almost any Honda.

**Selfmindead** · 02-01-2006, 02:10 PM

Thats a very clean car! Loving your wheels

**1ajs** · 02-01-2006, 04:30 PM

hey kool nice 2g lol my dad used to have a red one till my mother fliped it on black ice in 87 at 80mph over steerd then we bought the 3gee. my dad miss's his 2g lol says it handled better then the 3gee. i see a 2gee at least once a week lol either blue or white. but the last time i saw one at the recors it looked like it had died from a roll over and rust was red shame and this fall i had decided to walk home from downtown and walked along water front drive and the police was pulling cars off the river bed lol and saw a red 2gee now that was sad site but i looked over it lol i am sure the police were looking at me funny when i was dooing this lol anyhow your 2g looks clean and the shirts in the shot make it look so period lol

also the key my dad uses for the 3gee is from are 2gee lol

**snoopyloopy** · 02-01-2006, 04:48 PM

that second pic looks like a shot that you'd seen in a brochure or something. really does the car justice. especially after seeing the 3rd pic.

**Shadowkat** · 02-01-2006, 06:52 PM

damn that's nice! I want one now too. I saw an 83 in the jy just last weekend, it was pretty sweet, but it made me sad that it was junked.

83's are 2nd gen too right?

**russiankid** · 02-01-2006, 06:53 PM

**Ichiban** · 02-01-2006, 07:21 PM

Welcome!

Yeah they're 2nd gen. Although I remember someone here calling it a Mk1 2nd Gen vs. mine which he called a Mk2 2nd Gen. They look almost the same, just slightly updated. Quite more modern looking though.

I want a 2g hood. =(

The hood looks cool, until you wanna work on your car. But its actually pretty easy to take off, I do it all the time.

**Bglad420** · 02-02-2006, 12:55 AM

I hate how the 2g hood folds foward!! Drives me crazy trying to work on the Gf's car....I just want to fold the peice of shit over the front of the car then grab the 2x4 I hit everyone in the mouth with and smash the POS but.....

Yours is probally the nicest 2g ive seen so i gotta give props for the work....also I gotta ask why didn't you get a hatch and fix that up instead??

2ndGenGuy · 02-02-2006, 01:29 AM

I actually didn't pick out the car. When I was 17, my Plymouth Sundance crapped out 2 weeks before Christmas. I had just spent all my money on presents, and still being in high school, didn't have the money to buy a new or used car. My dad surprised me with this one, he paid for a big chunk of the car, and arranged payments with the owner for me. He fixed a few things on it, detailed it and surprised me Christmas day with it.

I also can't take all the credit for the paint and bodywork. My dad is a professional bodyman and painter and has done show quality work. He laid out all the primer and paint, but he showed me how to do all the bondo work (by making me do it), metal grinding and sandblasting, etc. Plus I saved up and paid for all the materials.

Even after all the work I did on that project myself, I don't think I could ever do it nearly as well without him.

**Bglad420** · 02-02-2006, 02:15 AM

You going to the Seattle meet??

**catalin** · 02-02-2006, 10:30 AM

Car looks good but what's in the dash of that bike? Above the gauges? Looks like a custom pod for something??

The A20A block architecture is the same as the ES2...The A20 is just a bored out ES2 block with a non-CVCC 2.0L Head...so technically the ES2 is a 16 valve SOHC head that's more complex than the A20 stock head. If you were a CVCC nut you could put an ES2 head on an A20 block and get higher CR too, but I'm not the most CVCC savy individual. The ES2 also suffered from a finicky 3bbl carb, more vacuum control and emissions control junk, than the A20. The 2G (82-85) Accords did suffer from an antiquated suspension in the form of Mcpherson strut design up front and single wishbone in the rear, as opposed to you 3gs with your trailing arms.

Hahaha, how easily you guys forget about 2g Accords...maybe Phydeaux and I just haven't been on here enough...it was me with the whole Mk1 and Mk2 2g thing. I see 2g Accords in San Francisco everyday driving around. Pretty good for 20+ cars. Some days I see more 2gs than 3gs...my car would be right at home.

Checkout this beauty:

This is a rare bird in the Audubon Accord book. Its a mint condition 82-83 2g Mk1 SE (not Se-i)...it must have been customized from the factory with leather interior, sunroof, alloys and all the trimmings, buts its no FI for sure. I didn't know these existed until I saw it for real.
