Thinking of Going a New Direction?

[TWOLOUDNPROUD]

I am thinking of buying a 89 Accord hatch LX-i and putting my B20a Turbo in it and putting my other accord back to stock with A20a3 5speed.I been thinking about this for awhile the benefits of a Accord hatch it lighter then the sedan and i would be one hell of a sleeper and i have a better chance of getting in to the 12's in the 1/4 mile where i would like to be.So what do you guy's Think?

[frantik]

sedan is more of a sleeper imo but if you want the weight reduction go for it :thumbup:

[2oodoor]

good idea, I have been procrastinating on installing mine in a perfectly good running sedan, I am hoping a coupe or hatch with a blown engine shows up on the grid soon.

I'd go for it

Yes! Hatchies rule!

Well I think that would be badass, but If your going to go hatch to try to hit 12's a 86-87 LX-i will be easier to do that in then a 89, Heres a post I made on weights with info from all my brochures:

After reading my brochures I figured I post the official HP, Torque, & Weight Specs that Honda gave, but one thing that I don't understand is this:
Why is the 1989 Accord LX-i & SE-i's Motor rated @ 120HP when the 1988 is rated @ 122HP?

Here what my deal i love my four door Accord but with the turbo b20a i am breaking shit left and right and i don't want to fuck it up any more i want to keep it around for a long time and maybe one day give it to one of my son's.

[2oodoor]

what are you breaking? just curious

[fogged]

Coupes rule Hatchies droll! LOL! IMO 2 doors are better than 4. I wouldnt mind a hatch just cant ever find one. I say go for it.

[TWOLOUDNPROUD]

I like Hatchies more then Coupes.

[Cheeseburger]
