    dont want to be an jerk but search is your best friend.

    to answer your questions.

    there are very few parts available for our cars. if your looking for performance mostly custom stuff. other than that you are looking for oem parts.

    thats not too high... only 250,000 miles..

    we mean use the search feature of the site.. there's a link near the top that says 'search' but unfortunately it's not super easy to make a CAI for an LX without an air box from a civic

    oh, getting the box is no problem for me, what year would work?
    and my only worry for an cai is the room...would it fit?

    Re: Cold Air Intake For 88' Accord???

    it fits with the use of the civic air box. but fot the carb you wont get much add power really, id say flip the lid or if you want it to look clean chop the box

    well i cant explain it exactly like what parts you replace, but EFI is electronic fuel injection. LX have carburetor while LX-i have fuel injection. EFI swap means swapping over all of the engine bits that are different between LX and LXi so that fuel injection works.

    it's possible but not really something that very easy to do
