    88 LXi hatch..

    Hello everyone. I'm from Tennessee and I have a 1988 Accord LXi Hatch. Its completly stock. I bought it last January for $1000 and it had 186k and have only had to replace a few things.. I'm not sure what all I can do to it so any ideas or suggestions would be great to hear. I thought there was no hope for it untill I found this website.. I'll have some pics up hopefully by this weekend...

    any future modding plans for it? I think when I repaint I might go silver... It looks great on these whips

    sounds like a good daily driver....i would upgrade the suspension....these cars handle good with a good combo and rims and tires help also.

    Re: 88 LXi hatch..

    Nothing real great. Just my stock Honda..

    Took the bezel out to paint it and it fell off the balcony during the night and the grounds crew threw it away the next morning. That was when I lived in an apratment in Knoxville..





    The sun was beating down a little to much to try get some good inside pics. I'll try to get some tomorrow or a little later tonight.
