    Either way ive noticed the "ricer fad" has faded out big time... its not near as bad as it used to be.

    I predict this "JDM" stuff will be the new rice.

    Yes, some jdm parts are cool... but people that buy stuipd shit and pay stupid amounts of money for it just kuz its jdm? And it looks gay anyway. can you say retarded?

    Re: 10 things you hate about your 3g

    10 things i hated about my 3g...

    1. everything leaked, sunroof, ps, oil pan, rad fluid, battery, exhaust, you name it...
    2. car started and ran only one out of three attempts...
    3. nothing worked, no ac, ps, windshield wipers, ignition...
    4. one headlight was always half as bright, the flip light eventually pulled the wires apart...
    5. purple interior...
    6. slipping auto tranny (the 3g was my last auto)
    7. as previously mentioned, absolutely no aftermarked support...
    8. not very fast... last i remember, the car was running 22 second quarter miles...
    9. very difficult to work on, quite cramped under the hood, everything was covered in oil, which didnt help...
    10. (and should be the most important, but at the time i owned the car, i didnt realize this) the car did not hold up very well after a mild accident... now that i am married with three kids, i would now consider my old 3g unsafe...

    i absoultely loved that car, was in my possesion for 10 years, and if it was still around, i would (at least my wife tells me) be driving my 88lxi over my 05 ex coupe v6 6mt... i still miss that car...

    Re: 10 things you hate about your 3g

    1. OBD-O (I fixed that)
    2. lack of power. (I boosted that.)
    3. unsafe braking abilities. (Fixed that in a big way)
    4. lack of a good clutch/gear LSD
    5. springs/shocks. (it can be done and has)
    6. a front motor mount
    7. front bumper blocks way to much air flow for big FMIC to be efficent
    8. Need bigger intake valves (Soon to be fixed)

    One thing I need to add is if you want a faster car it's gonna cost you no madder what. If thats boosting the accord or buying one that faster from the factory will still cost you more. Quit complaining and do something about it.

    I have told many people I'm more then willing to make turbo kits for a fair price and still much cheaper then what you could buy one for a civic or teg. For about $3,000 can get you EVERYTHING you need for an easy 160-200whp + accord. Now go and add up all the little things you buy and ways you could scrap up money and tell your self how you can't afford it or even pick up a 2nd job if needes. It's not that you can't afford it, it's that your not trying hard enough.
    I'm your local R&D nut. Fabracting, welding, tuning and breaking my stuff so you don't have to.

    1. Auto
    2. It sounds like a ricers exhaust under my hood since I put my air intake on.

    Other than that I F*****G LOVE MY ACCORD.

    Re: 10 things you hate about your 3g

    1)valvetrain is always noisy no matter what
    2)pain in the ass to get a good idle with the eacv when the engine is modified
    3)rebuilt distributors and axles from anyone besides honda are always worthless peices of crap
    4)steering wheel is too far away/pedals too close for me
    5)coolant reservior level is hard to see
    6)black coating on front/rear windshield trim flakes off
    7)impossible to change oil filter without dripping oil somewhere
    8)ummmm........
    9)one time, a cat peed on my vent ducts and the smell didn't go away for several years
    10)a spider crawled into my guage cluster and died. it is still there.

    Re: 10 things you hate about your 3g

    ok in no particular order,

    1. My interior. Its black and beich( is that how you spell it?) i like the black but they beich? Should have been all black.
    2. NO CUP HOLDERS!!!!!!
    3. An armrest would have been nice.
    4. Hardly any aftermarket support.
    5. A little more power and lower end torque would be nice.
    6. So would a front lip and fog lights from the factory.
    7. A little more backseat room.
    8. The a/c is not as cold as my 4th gens which had twice the mileaage and never had a recharge in the 6 years me and my mom owned it. Thought it might need a recharge.
    9. Wish i got better gas mileage.
    10. Should have come with 15 inch alloys from the factory.

    Re: 10 things you hate about your 3g

    1.passenger mirror wiggles(loose havent been able to fix it)
    2.no cup holders(wtf? its the LX)
    3.eats brake fluid
    4.most of the seals dont seal anymore(moonroof hisses if you open it and close it, and the drivers side too)
    5.the airbox get all hott and stuff robbing me of like the 2whp that i could use.
    6.i like to vary the details but a 20 year old car has lost compression and other things so its a little slow.
    7.oxidized hood, in short NEED PAINT JOB!
    8.very little after market support (except here! good ideas for cheap go a long way)
    9.doesnt have discs all the way round(will eventually swap axles from an SE)
    10.apolstiry needs to be redone(but i still love it, just not the square bear blue on blue)

    dispite all these little things, my cruizin diane has never let me down, and i dont plan to let her go out without style. and even though she isnt FI i can still do a lot like dual webers
