What stock accord would you have bought in the 80s?

[frantik]

If we were back in the late 80s when our cars were sold new from the dealer, which one would you get? be sure to include year, color, body style and trim level. You can add dealer options & oem accessories but no aftermarket or outside your market (ie no JDM for USDM) stuff

[A20A1]

1989 Honda Accord LX probably in charcoal grey color.
The stock Honda Dealer bodykit
The cover/shades for the windows

[A18A]

89 2.0Si, that busted blue color and deffinatly one with a oem equilizer

edit: probably a vigor to be different, i like the plate in the bumper idea, 89 2.0Si Manual, blue, eq, cup holders, digi gauges, POP-UP HEADLIGHTS damnit, elec folding mirrors, elec windows, power steering, elec sunroof, elec ariel, black interior, cruise control, elec heater controls, fog lights, that bumper thingy that makes it easier to park 8-) and rear wiper. thats all i can think of for now

deffinatly a sedan like said in the message below

[frantik]

^ sedans for both of you?


I think I would get the green SEi sedan but i wouldn't want the leather interior.. i'm not sure if you could get cloth with an sei but i would. i'd get the eq (cupholders arent worth it imo hehe) and vent shades, floor mats too and hopefully the dealer would offer tinting

if i couldn't get an sei without leather i think i'd get the car i have now (montery green lxi sedan with tan/black interior) with the above options cause i really like the color inside and out. the only bad thing about tan is it's hard to keep it looking super clean. I'd also get some different wheels cause the basic lxi wheels are weak. those hexagon ones are pretty sweet though

[A18A]

yeah i hate leather so much i dunno why people like it, i supose its just my opinion, but the only reason i like leather is cause its easy to clean, but other than that its so uncomfortable, hot on the ass, or freezing, sounds like ur farting every time u move, feels wrong, i could moan all day about leather but nah. thats just my opinion though, others will think differently

[frantik]

leather looks nicer and doesn't stain as easily, but thats where the advantages end imo

ok im changing the rules you can have jdm stuff too lol

i would get the maplight and digital gauges along with corner lights. oh and the yellow fogs

is there anything left? haha oh the sunroof visor. theres the car bra but i dont think i'd use it.

[MessyHonda]

i would get a 89 coupe Lx-i or Se-i with the two tone interior and Cd player. oh yeah it has to be manual. thoes are some clean cars. the OEM fog lights would work too...i got to find a set but not pay 200 bucks for a 18 year old pair

[3ghondaerodeck]

I would have bought my car..
But with leather interior..
And black

So
1988 Honda Accord Aerodeck 2.0 EX-i
Color black, interior black leather
front and rear spoiler
Yellow flip fogs (and change the yellow glass into white)
headlight washers
cruise controle
leather steering wheel
Heated seats
..
guess that's about it..

[Vanilla Sky]

monterey green SEi coupe, one of the sets of mugen wheels, foglights, and i would have fought to get an all black interior, but i probably would have lost. would have been a manual. no moonroof, and that's for sure.

[2ndGenGuy]

Grey 85 SE-i. W00t for the original fuel injected Accord. 5-speed of course.

[B16KILLA]

black,89,lxi,coupe 5 speed. No power steering or a/c....

[detroit313]

i would have bought this:




ooh my bad......what ACCORD would i have bought?

i would have bought an '88 lx-i 2 door 5 speed like the one i have now but in bright ass yellow(i know,they didnt offer them in yellow) or gloss black with a sunroof...
i dont care for leather like the se-i models have................

[86AccordLxi]

Brittany Blue SE-i 5spd coupe.

Alex

[3G Jester]

89 Coupe in R-51..red...with bacl interior. the only year with that that color combo in a coupe. no sedans, no Hatches.

in 88 they released the red with black HB but no coupe or sedan. some of the HB's were built late in 88 and released as 89 models.

so i would have done the red coupe. sooo hot. again..it was a DX so it was carbed but im sure it could have been ordered with a 5spd.
either that or a red prelude. not an accord but if you took me with my affection for hondas and dropped me back then i would have done the red coupe or a red 2.0si lude.

[mykwikcoupe]

looks like most here would have ordered the car i biult. I feel special now. Id order ir just the way I biult it. Monterey green metalic coupe with the 89 black sei leather interior. !/4 dins in the eq slot for the turbo and lots of shiny gauges up the drivers a-pillar. Lowered on a nice set of konis with sprint springs setup on a 4 corner dyno with my fat ass in there as a ballast. No radio as Id put my jl audio stuff in there and man would I be cool with the stuff that out today. I need to tint the windows but the cool stuff im still looking for Id have to oder. The power folding foglights, Ive got power folding mirrors and the b20a. Hmmmm

Oh one more thing. Too bad detroit but my t-bird sc owns that car in everything other than a straight line and its actually a luxury car. Gnx are way overrated. Who actually quarters anymore anyway. if its your car, send me some shades man, its shiny

[newaccorddriver]

Brittany Blue SE-i 5spd coupe.

Alex

same here. as for options, probably fully loaded with everything possible. when your getting the top of the line model(in this case, the se-i) your best not skimping on any of the luxuries

[89l_x_i]

I would have ordered an 89 lxi with black leather, fog lights, 5speed, digital clauster, everything powered and every single mugen part that mugen ever made for the 3rd gen accord in other words i would have order this exact replica:http: https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthrea...t=mugen+accord

[offthahook]

81 se 4 door of course since they didn't make the se in a hatch. Power windows!! That would have been so pimp to drive that back then

[ZackieDarko]

JDM Super Stage coupe FTW!

[baqnblaq]

I would have bought 89 LX-i coupe. Black on the outside and black and tan on the inside. 5 speed of course with the moon roof option. I like the hatches and my sedan, but the coupe I think is the best looking.

[rjudgey]

oh man but thats a tough choice to call Definately last i'd have is easy the other three is too tough i'd have to have one of each.

Hatch (Lighter and shorter)
Coupe (Prefer the Looks but too heavy and too much rear overhang)
Aerodeck (Quirky looking but cool as different also good weight although still heavier than Hatch although not much in it)

Each one would have a purpose:

Hatch: Auto cross and track
Coupe: Cruising on the streets
Aerodeck: Drag racing as it look shit slow!!

Each one would have the same spec as little as possible to save weight!!

Mugen CF48 Wheels with Covers 15" size
Mugen Front bumper
Mugen adjustable suspension
Mugen Exhaust
Mugen B20A please oh yeah

Sorry but seats would have to go Recaros on all three.

[Steve_Si]

89 2.0Si, that busted blue color and deffinatly one with a oem equilizer

edit: probably a vigor to be different, i like the plate in the bumper idea, 89 2.0Si Manual, blue, eq, cup holders, digi gauges, POP-UP HEADLIGHTS damnit, elec folding mirrors, elec windows, power steering, elec sunroof, elec ariel, black interior, cruise control, elec heater controls, fog lights and rear wiper. thats all i can think of for now

deffinatly a sedan like said in the message below

Sorry man we never got the Si as a new car in New Zealand. Only way to get a B20A powered NZ car was to buy the 2.0i-16. No digital dash, they never went facelift (had the 85 - 86 JDM tail lights etc) and they all have leather. They kept making these here like this until 1990. Good thing is lots of them were manual, and NZ cars had even less restrictive exhausts than the JDM cars so they drove better too

The NZ 2.0i-16 was better than any JDM model

[rjudgey]

How the hell did you find such clean Hondas?? Does your GF still have the 2G lude? Not quite as nice as the U.K. ones but you do get the full monty Engine unlike our watered down version with only 137bhp!!

[Steve_Si]

Well that was all about 5 years ago. There are just too many JDM cars here now, so the 3G accord and 2G prelude have started to disappear. The 5G Accord and 4G prelude are now the cheap models for people to buy.

[ESDEEZ]

I would have bought a 2.0i 16 with heated seats and leather. I think that the 16 only came in red someone correct me if im wrong! I would deff have all the mugen options and tinted windows. digit gauges are a must and a cd player with sei like steering wheel controles and climate controle and remote locking with alarm!
