    My 89 Hatch LX-i pics today.....

    Here are some new pics of my 89 Accord LX-i Hatch. Yes, the tires on the rear do scrub. 205/60-15's with stock lift just dont work too well. The wheels look pretty good on it though.......Had to replace the rear hatch due to previous owner backing into something and crushing in the corner.

    Here are some pics of my underhood and interior. Both need a good cleaning, just have not had the time lately though......I did figure out a way to mount to Pioneer 6x9's in the back though, and still leave room for the factory 5.5" speaker locations.

    Well, I got another fellow 3g'er offering to trade me his 88 DX sedan and some $$$ for the car, he just posted up some pics of it today also.....
    If that deal falls through, I plan to install a CAI, Header, 2 1/4" custom exhaust, SS muffler, and start reworking the interior with Red Borders on all the plastic.....Race Pedal kit, Arm rest center console upgrade if I can get one reasonable, Yada, Yada, Yada.....just all the normal stuff to get it going a little better than stock. Later on, of course will be a full body kit and new paint.

    Looks nice. Those are some meaty tires on the back. It sorta reminds me of a drag car. I noticed that you have the car parked without the ebrake on. Thats a bad idea, especially in a manual car. I ALWAYS use the ebrake.

    Hate to do it, but I just posted this Hatch up for sale. Got another car last night and now I have to pay for it by selling this one.

    $1,200.00 cash or best offer with the factory steel 14" wheels/tires and hubcaps. Pics are posted in the for sale section also with the factory 14's.

    You call it Brown, I call it Burgundy....with a little Red Krylon on all the black plastic dash trim inside the car, and the newly installed white face dash cluster, it should still look pretty good I think.

    Re: My 89 Hatch LX-i pics today.....

    Actually, all kiddin aside, I was thinking on Red under the hood in place of the Yellow???? Its harder to find the Red PVC tubing though.......I already had the Yellow......
    Got a fresh couple cans of Krylon Red Plastic ready and waiting.......

    I was also kiddin about the APC graphics too, and no I am not going to paint all the outside black trim White either.....

    Here is a pic of the White dash insert overlay I just installed today.

    I guess if I want to go FAST, I'll just drive my 325HP SBC 400 V8 powered 81 Nissan 280ZX throwing about 400 ft. lbs of torque to the rear wheels.... If I want good gas milage and a smooth ride to work and back everyday, I'll just drive the Honda and keep cleaning it up...
