whoa... 35,000 miles... Need pictures asap... sorry for being off topic lol.

Here's a couple quick point&shoot ones. I think I should get out the good gear and do a proper photo shoot.

Oh yeah, Hash man, I was wrong. We're at 37,640 miles, now.

holy crap man thats one of the cleanest accords i have seen on this site wat have u all done to it and im totally jealouse of those fogs u got

[carotman]

Oh

I haven't seen those fog covers in almost 10 years. They're the "Honda" for the BOSCH Pilot OEM fogs. Somene local to ma had those back in the 90's

[w261w261]

I've wondered why Honda didn't make the fogs standard on the SE-i, as it tried to have everything else on there. I'm just as happy, as I don't think they're incorporated well into the front end.

What a clean car. I'd drop it by an inch, however. In reading the original reviews from the late 80's, one comment was the relatively soft ride and body lean. Do you find that to be true? Is the car auto or 5 spd?

[markmdz89hatch]

Wow. I am in awe of that car. Truly a time capsule there. Are you the original owner of it? By the looks of it, this is as original now as it was the day it rolled off the showroom floor.

What is it with all the Brittany Blue SE-i Coupes in Washington state? I swear, did 90% of all of them end up being sold in WA?

That coupe is absolutely flawless in these pictures. Please please please don't do a blessed thing to this. Is it just me, or is the Accord ghost subliminally showing up in the windows on your first pic?

Thanks for sharing JC, and welcome to the board.

I definitely want to meet you and see your car. What part of Seattle do you live in?

I second that statement. It seems to be very true, actually. And, most of them are around the Puget Sound.

I've seen two in WV, both pretty badly beaten on. That is, in my opinion, the 3G holy grail. Best color combo available.

[2ndGenGuy]

There's one down here in Olympia EXACTLY like that car. I see it all the time by my friend's house as I'm on my way into his development, I see it leaving or vice versa. I don't know where it lives, because I'm sure it's parked in a garage every night to be in condition like that. I drool all over myself when I see it drive by...

[2drSE-i]

totally jealous.....

More pics plesse especially interior shots.

[Ayeobe]

I wish mine was clean like that... Damn man! That is hot.
It makes me want to go around offering a free car wash and buff to all the clean accords out here. For personal satisfaction..

[jasonrebellion]

that is truly fantastic....wow. we need more pics.....like about 100 of them. makes me wish i had more money to throw at mine to make it look nice and new and less like a clunker. i'm taking donations.

Other than drive it off the lot, I threw a CD in it and added the fogs. Thanks for the kind words.

Yeah, I know that you can still get the lights, but not sure about the covers.

I agree that the lights could fit a little better, but they were the stock offering so I went with them. I don't think it's too bad in the softness department, but I don't get into it too much with this one. If we want to stick it on the rails then I grab the wife's '90 Lude 4WS. SEI is an auto.

The SEI Gods must have liked us up here. LOL. Yep, original owner, and as stock as it was on that day 20 years ago. No worries on messin' with it, I couldn't bring myself to start altering things. This is a stock ride for as long as I own it. That's why, even against some other opinions, I was looking for a stock amp in my other thread. Thanks for the kind welcome.

Thank You

I second that statement. It seems to be very true, actually. And, most of them are around the Puget Sound.

I'm actually north of town a bit. Edmonds area. Maybe we can meet up sometime.

I would have to agree with you on the grail. Honda did it right on this one. That gif you put up is great!!

As long as you just drool on yourself. Don't hit the upholstery.

totally jealous.....

I'm Sorry.

Thanks. I'll see what I can do for some better pics. I'll get out my gear and maybe a couple of lights and see what happens. Might be a little bit though.

I wish mine was clean like that... Damn man! That is hot.

Thanks much. Better be careful with an offer like that. I've seen some good lookin' rides on this site.

Thanks for your kindness. Note to self, "more Pics". Only bad thing to watch out for when you get yours spiffed is that 2ndGen might drool on it. But come to think of it, Ayeobe might have his free wash and buff going, so you can get it cleaned up right away.

[charliekuney]

So, why does your SE-i only have 37k miles? Did you decide at the beginning you were going to keep it low? Or did you just never drive it? I have to see that thing!

[2drSE-i]

I'm Sorry.

LOL dont be, it is truly a reflection of its owner. I wish my car could say the same thing.

Eight miles a day to work and back for the first five or six years, and also averaging 110+ hours a week at work, trying to build up a business for the next several years. Doesn't leave much time for cruising. And of course, when you're hauling four kids, you stuff them in the SUV. Then it's just kinda led a sheltered life the last few years.

[A18A]

wow thats a minter !! niice

[Hazwan]

Now thats a definition of MINT!

And please, proper photoshoot, and post lots of pics!

[stezie]

WOW! really mint! I bet this car will be at all the future classic car shows? any engine bay pics?

[Dr_Snooz]

Please please please don't do a blessed thing to this.

I second that sentiment. Please, for the love of all that is wonderful in this world, do not change a thing. It's truly a beauty and so incredibly rare in that condition.

[headbanger]

that is the most beautiful orignal accord i ever did see very very nice .

But you've had it for twenty years, right?

[guaynabo89]

so did you get the optional Honda CD player that went in the tape holder?
There was optional eq that fit under the cd player. Did you get that? I too have had my Accord for a very long time and with kids I know how things can just kinda slip by.

What are ur plans for it? Keep it? Never got an itch to sell it? Happened to me a couple of times.lol
