1988 Honda Accord LX-i Coupe 123k miles.
Holy crap an update~!!!
Hahaha, well I figure it is about time I update this thread some. As of about 5 weeks ago, I parked the accord due to chasing oil leaks which keep getting worse, and I don't feel like ending up stranded due to a screwed motor one of these days. So, I am driving my civic for now, and I have decided to begin work on the Accord.
Here is a pic from it's most recent photo session that I took in our lovely downtown Calgary.
Now, As you can see from the first page, my garage is much cleaner now. I have proper shelving, still need better lighting though, and a tool chest asap.
So here is how the accord sits, and I have started slowly today taking small pieces off the motor, removed the hood... but it is damn cold, and almost every plastic clip I touched broke, so I put a hold on things for today until it warms up a bit later this week... I will be getting a heater whenever I can afford it.
First task is to remove the motor and prepare the bay for my engine swap. I will be having a friend weld in my trans mount bracket, and another friend has volunteered himself to do a wire tuck on my engine bay as he is very good with wiring.
Then the car will be going for body work and a much needed paint job.
Now that I am going to be doing consistent work on the car, I will continue to update this thread.

Thanks man!, glad to see you still around the board once in a while.
Not sure on plans for the old motor right now. For the time being I will keep it kicking around in my garage.
Will do. Probably going to have the bay re-sprayed while the motor is out, it could use it.
Probably going with a b20b/z with a b16 head and b16 transmissions. And yea, I plan on raising the car some to help with the camber, my front tires are almost worn out because of it after 2 summers of driving.
No issues on the inside of the car at all... I did have to roll the rear fenders to prevent rubbing, even when the car was sitting higher than it is now, they rubbed in hard cornering.

White accords always look great. If you raise it up just a bit it would be even better Looks good though
Bass like Base... Not fish.
White is teh sex!
COPIER!
Hahaha jk, white is excellent. I was thinking about having my car painted another colour, but I do enjoy the white quite a bit, probably going to keep it the same.
No updates on the Accord right now, been working on getting a working stereo into the Civic this past week seeing as I drive it every day and not having proper tunes sucks!....
Denon deck, Focal components, Audio System amp, and 2 Focal 8" subs should do the trick to fix that!

Man your car looks AWESOME. Looks great sitting down nice and low on some proper-sized rims and tires. What a great stance! Great work dude! Can't wait to see the finished product!
Great lookin car dude. Looks real clean. I think the wheels are great too. Definitely need to get that swap done so you can keep that thing on the road!
