    the hatch has some kind of beam in the door, thats why they don't have factory door locks, on the coupes and sedans theres a notch cut in the beam for the lock motor to fit

    coupes do not have power locks. infact i belive the 88-89 hatch door is the same as the 88-89 coupe door

    Since I have been here well since I first came, I can tell traffic/new posts have died down a good bit, or at least it seems like it.

    they will keep you alive,the pumpkin thing is totally out of context. they have saved countless lives,even a lot of hot rod guys who hate anything modern would love to be able to retrofit their cars. remember it takes that much force to counteract the force of you smacking the dash and windshield.

    yea but it's better then being dead. there are a lot of people alive today,who wouldn't be because their airbag saved their life. i hear people complaining all the time about i got a burn,ringing in the ear, broke my nose,bla bla bla. wouldn't anyone take those over the alternative? there have been a lot of people who walked away from "unsurvivable" crashes because of them. ok anyway back on topic.

    Re: So is the 3g community almost dead?

    Sorry, still creeps me out to no end. Those things come at your face at something like 200 miles per hour. At the same time, you're heading toward it at 60 mph. I don't like those odds. Have your seat adjusted wrong, be reaching for the radio at the wrong time, have a low speed wreck, whatever and you're hamburger.

    Re: So is the 3g community almost dead?

    I noticed this thread seems to be down and depressing, I don't think the community is going anywhere, I think things are slow all over the country right now, it's that and the board constantly screwing up. Joe said he's going to run some diagnostics so maby that will finally fix it.

    Re: So is the 3g community almost dead?

    I find as my life gets busier, and now that I am working full time again that I don't find myself logging on as much. I still have my 3g, and love it a ton.

    However things like database errors, and repetative threads talking about the same crap over and over kind of get old too. I log in once every couple weeks now it seems and don't seem to have missed too much.

    My accord modding bug will continue on though and I won't stop with my project until I am happy, whether this community is still kicking or not.
