Aerodeck, here I come! (check my pics)

[karatekid]

So here's the story; I'm just some random norwegian guy that found this page via searching for good forums about accords - and here i am!
I just came over an Aerodeck while searching for a car, my first own car after getting my license actually, and i TOTALLY fell in love with it, the looks remind me of the CRX and the Civic, wich i also love lol. The way they've made the Aerodeck really entices me, a short and hot station wagon lol.
Can't wait till I go get it next wednesday!

I was wondering about bodykits (ofcourse), what can I use, how easy is it to adapt kits that are not made for the car, etcetcetc!

Anyways, my "new" Accord Aerodeck ('88, 2.0 Exi - 312 000 KM).
Here is the beauty (dunno if i really like the rims tho);

clean car i wouldnt put a body kit on it though wheels are nice too

[karatekid]

Meeh, I'd like to put a bodykit on it - not a big ricer one tho, just to round it off a bit. And I'd like to paint it - any suggestions on what color? I don't exactly love the two-toned black/grey.
We'll see, thanks for the quick replies guys!
Btw; what do you think of the price; 1200$ ? (remember that cars are expensive in norway).
312 000KM isn't really that much either imo.

nice aerodeck

what're those lumps on the bumper in front of the headlights?

[karatekid]

thanks for the welcome.
Oh, you meant the small lumps in the bumper RIGHT infront of the flip-lights? Looks like some kind of nozzles. To be honest, I have no idea.

Sweet Looking Aerodeck and the the rims are nice looking

[mkymonkey]

dont mess the car up by adding a body kit that will never fit. unless you get the xenon and 89 lxi bumpers. i dunno, just kits and 3geez have never really looked good imo. but then again its your car.

have fun and enjoy the site

[karatekid]

I don't know what the 89 lxi bumpers look like, but i kinda liked the xenon kit - so that could be the one for me. I don't wanna "mess up the car" really, just want to round it off a bit - even tho I like it the way it is, i think there's room for improvement.
And i wasn't thinking of just buying a whole kit tho, i would be totally open to buying different bodykit-parts and modifying em to fit and/or look right.
And one more thing, paint; color suggestions?

[frantik]

thanks for the welcome.

hmm.. i'd guess they're supposed to spray water onto the headlight or something then... do you have healight wipers too? hehe

[karatekid]

Ya, looks like they could be for that purpose - but I don't THINK there are wipers on the headlights (?) lol
That actually left me kinda baffled.

[mkymonkey]

meh i still say body kits are but thats just my opinion

[karatekid]

meh i still say body kits are but thats just my opinion

well, you never know - maybe i'll get it home, and decide it's to cool for plastic, hehe

[3ghondaerodeck]

they are indeed headlight washers. (and If you find some more (like, in a junkjard.. I'll be glad to take them off your hands!)

anyway

Welcome to the site fellow aerodeck owner
hope you enjoy your stay, there is a lot of aerodeck info on the site (especially nowadays with Fushi updates and momosega's new aerodeck)

Sounds great, been reading just about every post on aerodecks here the last days

So, since i have the headlightwashers, do i have the wipers too (originaly)? I haven't seen the car IRL yet, so.

[3ghondaerodeck]

no wipers i'm sorry
but those things spray pretty hard
I also saw that you have heated seats, nice, especially in norway, are you freezing your butt off already? I'm in holland and it doesn't look like winter here..

[killa_16]

nice find so wut r ur plans on da car besides a bodykit?

edit: as far as performance

[shepherd79]

if you want to see what will fit on aerodeck go here http://www.hondapapst.de/ca5.start.html it is in German, but the picture can tell. they have a lot of links.

i also like this aerodeck.




very nice conversion. i like it.

[3ghondaerodeck]

woooo, thats an ugly aerodeck... blech..
(sorry, aerodecks have to have flip headlights, that thing is nasty (in a bad way))

[karatekid]

Well, first of all; I don't have any clear plans yet - just brainstorming, dunno if i really want to do much to the performance, I need a car that drives well in the winter too, hehe
5 days till I go get the car, i'll prolly take loads of pics and throw em up here when i get it!
to 3ghondaerodeck; nah, not really freezing yet, we just had a few days of snow and -degrees, but now it has rained away :/ *wishes for a white christmas*
Thx for the link on styling Sheperd, gonna check it out asap.. hope there are some nice kits wich rounds it a bit off, but still keeps it retro
Oh, and BTW - if anyone knows where i can get some leather for my aerodeck, i'd love to know!

[shepherd79]

leather for aerodeck was very rare option. Some of them came from a factory.
So far i have seen only 1 aerodeck with leather and the guy lives in germany.

[MessyHonda]

cool another aerodeck.... to the site..and post some pics when you get it.

[karatekid]

*cheers for aerodecks*
I was thinking of more like, seatcovers (in leather) or something like that that'd fit - doesn't have to be made especially for the aerodeck if it fits/can be fitted.
Well, we'll deal with this when i get the car - let's hope i don't destroy it on the way home lol, it's a 5 hour drive each way.
Thanks for all the welcomes, great so see a forum dedicated to my new interest

[reanimator420]

you should throw a lude steering wheel in there asap!!
