    three days. from a thursday evening to a sunday, while i put on my dc sports headers. fellow i bought them from didn't give me the bolts that go between the primaries and secondaries. so i had to go to the hardware store and experiment.

    Ha try 3 months. I was without my car for 3 months while I was wating to get enough money for paint, primer, bondo materials etc. I had already stripped the car so it was legally undriveable. Then I ran out of money and waited while I got money for supplies. I drove a $300 Hyundai Excel during that time. It sucked so bad. Once I got my Accord back, it felt so smooth and powerful and big and comfortable and luxurious! You may not think of an Accord as being such, especially not an 84, but try driving a tin can for 3 months.

    Re: longest your 3gee was down

    mine was like 2 years....trany gave up and engine overheated. you could still drive it but LOTS of smoke and a bad trany...made it sit in a back parking spot. the worse part was that it got most of the body damage while it was parked....some one kicked in my fender...got hit on the street. lady left a note but later she did not pay up. sun damage... and since i got it up and running its been 1 month for the headgasket. and right now for like 2 months...does not want to pass smog...

    Re: longest your 3gee was down

    my 3gee lacked proper parts and a straight chassie, it sat on 4 jack stands for over a year and a half. There is a pic floating around somewhere. But yeah, i drove my 4th gen and my dads 90 camry in the meantime. but this was about 4 5 years back.

    Re: longest your 3gee was down

    mine was down for about 3 months after my auto tranny blew, and after my 5 speed swap, winter came in. after winter left i decided to go turbo, and rebuild the engine. so everything added up, maybe 1 year and 3 months with driving it on the road?


    its moved about 200 meters since the auto blew up
