Bad News for the 3gee... :/

[jpetrovic]

Well. I was doing some searching around just browsing threw some honda forms... and well. i find that they us our cars for the butts of there jokes, when someone says something lame, they tell them to hop in there 88 accord and get the !@$% outta here. i know its lame but idk... dissapointing... soo i shook that off. i googled some honda info then found my self in another fourm i think it was about motor swaps. then some dude Posts this pic.




soo the Civic owner, thought this 88 accord looked soooo funny he inquired about. the accord owner wants 2,500 for it he lives in NY. then everyone started talkin sh-t about it. yeahh... actually thats some pretty good bodywork :P i'd never do it. looks more like a back to the future car :P but it was pretty disapointing to see them rag on our cars soo hard... idk the names of the forms, they pretty much pissed me off to even care

i remember thoes pics

I never heard that joke. But that shit looks like one of those cars from japan. You know how they fix up all those 80's cars and put those big tall ass exhaust pipes shaped like a v. It looks like a car from that group... i forget wat they call it. But anywho...that car might've looked alright minus the wing. and rims lol

me eather.. but dammnn i wish i rememberd the fourm.. they used it quite heavily... yeah that spoiler really messes it up :P gosh... pisses me off. we need MUGEN Parts... i know most of you guys have allready signed that petition about the mugen parts but we have many new members, and well i think we should spread the word once again perhaps get another 100+ sigs in it... probly wont work. but better say we did something then do nothing right????

When people give you shit remind them of a few things:

1. The accord has double wishbone suspension front and back, unlike most Hondas

2. The accord has a better interior than a similar civic

3. The accord is different.

If you are a fast and furious boy racer who wants a JDM swap and to fit in with everyone else with a civic, go ahead and get a civic and say accords suck. Be sure to wear your hat backwards and install a huge subwoofer to blast your walmart ghetto rap CDs too.

Personally, I'd rather be driving my 3g Accord with a nice, simple, REFINED interior, decent performance, decent MPG, and looking subtly different from almost every other car on the road.

Funny thing I think that white cars looks cool esp for a 4 door car.

x2 I take pride in driving something outside the typical jdmfanboi bandwagon. People always freak out when they see my car because the just never do, I'd say thats a hell of a lot better than driving some stereotypical civic or integra like everyone else.

don't pay any attention to some of the idiots, there are some very serious and very fast cars on here. besides our cars are classics. there are other honda forums you can also go to,where they respect our cars, thisoldhonda.org for one, japanesenostalgiccar.com for another. enjoy your car and screw the dickless idiots. they have penis size envy, our cars have bigger engines then most of their ricer civics,

I see the same thing happen on the BMW boards. They find some car like the one above for sale somewhere and then spend the rest of the thread congratulating themselves on their superiority because they have German cars. They sound like the obnoxious prigs they are. I laugh because I know what temperamental crap their German cars are.

I know my 3g kicks ass. I know that it's designed better than any Honda since. I know it will last forever if I have a mind to make it. I know that the shop manual is among the best ever written for any car. I think it's 10x more beautiful than anything Honda has built since and among the most beautiful cars ever built. If they want to laugh at me, here I am.

omg i vomited who the hell rapes a 3gee like that


and yeah i hate when ppl rag on old accords too shit my 88 with just a intake and no muffler could kick most civics ass's

[RamThis]

Sorry, quality mod work, but you gotta admit, that car is hideous......

[mushroom_toy]

Its funny how many people think nothing of the accord....until I rape them in the

Actually though people really dont realize how much of a great car the 3gee is. SOmetimes you just have to let em know.

yep that's why I fell in love with my old blue clunker, it rode so well and handled great for a "family" car. I know it would be even better lowered with some better shocks. I hope I can get ahold of one soon cause Im really wanting to roll my lil 3G again. Seeing its shell in the garage is depressing.

[jpetrovic]

You guys are right, the accord is a comfortable car. im 6'5 and well lol even tho my head ALLLMOST touches the sealing :P its still a very conforable car,

[labeledsk8r]

ALOT of forums hate on the 3gee just becuse they dont know what there talking about... just last week i was on socalcivic.com and someone was saying that a lx-i 3gee (A20a3 engine) is slower then a civic DX (D16xx) and i laughed when he said they had more hp and TQ... i posted the a20's numbers and he shut up

[Tomisimo]

Many ppl live in theres pink world thinking the newer the better, but its not. I drove few cars that is newer that my 3G but they just feel cheap and plasticish, like a childs toy. The old accords build quality is good for its age and then standards. So I say to all my haters that they dont know what they missing, a whole passion ans satisfaction of rolling in a 3G. I say F*ck those ricer kids.
Civic feels like a bear can after solid Accord.

I rode in my buddy's 99 civic ex the other day and now I know why they all look like they're driving from the back seat, it's the only way you can avoid hitting you're head on the headliner!

yea we have a 98 and i hate it. my knees almost hit the wheel with the seat all the way back. feels cheap and junky. less then 150 thousand and 3 window motors are failing, engine codes,exaust fell off,radiator blew up, interior is going bad,vinal is splitting, mirrors quit working, valves tap,even after being adjusted right, and it won't get out of it's own way.

lol WOW That dosnt sound like a Honda :P sounds more like a chrysler :P
never knew a honda to just F up like that

well yes i have... its called The Civic

[redaztec]

I know what you mean - my old Accord feels very well built compared to many newer cars, even other Hondas. Out of the cars I've owned (1989 Accord LX-i, 2002 Sentra Spec V, 2006 RSX), the Accord actually shifts the smoothest. Although the interior has degraded some due to age and sun, the dash material still feels higher class than the hard plastics in the Sentra and RSX. And, it gets the best gas mileage (though admittedly it has the least power). These cars may be looked upon as boring by some, but one thing's for sure - they've withstood the test of time!

the fact that so many have made it to 20 years is somthing to say...

[lostforawhile]

they still are, even the dealer told me if i buy one, look for the jhm in the vin,only buy a japanese made one.

am also 6'5 and never feel like the 3g is cramped eh
have always love the lines of the good old ca accords
they are a good looking,comfy car with prob the best performance for a car of there age
way better than a civ,camry,galant,bluebird of similar age or even most of the newer versions af the same cars
long live the 3g and fuck the haters
