    Another noob

    Well, the name's Eric. I live in Portland. Been driving my '88 DX for almost a year now and I love it! Probably my favorite car I've owned thus far. I've owned the following cars:

    1992 Toyota Corolla 5 speed
    1990 Mazda MX5 5 speed
    1994 " " B2300 5 peed OD
    1994 Acura Legend Type 2 6-speed coupe
    1986 Volvo 240 dl

    And now of course my Accord. As you will probably guess, I'm a fan of manual transmissions
    I work on my cars, save big $$ and enjoy doing it! As far as professions I am a woodworker and musician.

    I'm also into motorcycles... owned a few Ninja 250s and Now have a '91 ZX6.

    Looking forward to... whatever may lie ahead here!

    Oh, I almost forgot, a few pictures of the ol' girl.




    Thanks for reading!
    -EO

    Re: Another noob

    Thank you all for the warm welcome!

    Thought I'd throw in a shot of my other baby...

    Here's the day I bought her. Running on 3 cylinders, leaking gas everywhere, lots of problems.




    And after a bit of work... She purrs now and looks a little better too.

    Uh, most cars as old as ours look like that...or worse.

    mbiraguy: why does your '88 have an '86/'87 bumper?

    Hatches didn't come with the facelift.

    And to the OP, looks really mint!

    they look better with the orange lights anyway except if you get the euro lights which only fit the hatch bumpers or early style bumpers.

    In your honest opinion. I prefer the facelift. Now that I know that; if I were ever to get a hatch, I would get the facelift bumper.
