    So it's been a little while. My 88 LX again! (56k lots o pics)

    Alrighty, so it's been a while since i took some pictures of my car.. I've been working alot and havent had much time to... But anyway, i cleaned it up today with the help of steven and his cool car care products... Anyway, on to the pics! Just in case you didnt know.. Click to make them bigger. Also note that my interior is a little cluttered.. Sorry!

    And then Steven wanted me to post these up, so here they are! He drew these by hand... THe first is of how he wants his 3gee to look eventually, its not completed, and the second is a beginnign sketch of his SVX. Note that the weird designs on the accord aren't a decal job, it's just reflection from the surroundings...



    Enjoy!

    EDIT: Also note that yes that is a GP Sorensen carb rebuild kit in my trunk, it's never opened and is for sale!

    Now all you have to do is swap out the brown interior to something nicer and you're done.

    Very nice white LX.

    Peace.

    Clean! I like 'em
    Drawings look great too!

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    Thanks guys. I know those pictures aren't of the greatest variety, but oh well... I just got bored and decided to take pics out in front of my house after i washed it, heheh.

    I hope to be upgrading my audio soon though. It just depends on how well i get paid.... I'm trying to save up to upgrade...

    Also, jsut found out today that my passenger side front tie rod is loose and needs to be replaced, and that the ball joint might need replacing too. Sucks.

    I dunno, i had full CAI at one time and didnt really like it. I notice the idle is alot smoother with short ram than full CAI. To be honest, it's not much different than just flipping your stock air box lid... Heheh.

    Maybe it was just a temporary thing when my car was running like crap with the full CAI, but im not discouraging you from trying it.. Just be careful around water if you go full CAI.

    Hmm. Is it really backwards? haha. Oh well. i'll fix it sometime.. Thats how the previous wire was installed. I just put it on the same.. Lol. Doesnt make a difference though im sure.

    Anywhom, i don't have the money to get another motor, boost it, and make it driveable daily. I have to drive 25 miles to work and 25 back home every day almost. Sometimes twice.. I don't like paying for gas as much as i do as it is, lol.

    It's BROWN.

    I have a white LX Accord Sedan ... and my interior used to be brown, so I know. On Majestic Honda, it's called Palmy Brown.

    Black and grey are the most common aftermarket automotive carpet colors, so you should have no trouble finding carpeting. Finding SE-i beige (silky ivory) automotive-grade carpeting locally is pretty impossible when you live on a rock.

    Peace.

    hrmmmm....I dunno Watcher....looks maroon on my Mac (and Macs display colors more accurately than PC's do....don't know which you have). I've looked at all the int pics at full size, and yeah the lighting makes it a little tough to tell, but if you blow up the pic of his sub box and look at the paneling in his trunk, you can see it's not quite brown. I have the brown interior as well and his isn't the same color as mine. Either way, guess it doesn't matter if it's coming out.

    Thanks!

    And yes, i believe i do have the maroon interior, not the brown. The interior is more red than it seems in the pics. You can definitely tell by the trunk.
