have you looked at the intakes? short ram or cold air? flowmaster and magnaflow are good. you can take out the ac and cruise control. have you thought about Pacesetter headers or dc headers. you can buy a b16 mani since you will be changing the cam and injectors. you could go with venom injectors. any of these look like what you have in mind?
short ram intake ftw
also when you remove the ac make sure you remove that big ass thing behind the glove box!
and for the power steering, remove it get a clutch fulid res from a 4th gen loop the power steering lines to it and use it to keep fulid in the power steering rack! , i didnt do this when i removed my power steering on the 4th gen now it sounds like a grinder when i turn ><

Yes, thank you.Originally Posted by Shyboy88Lx-i
I'll look into the intake, and I was just looking at that nasty black box behind the glove box. I found a few unpaid parking tickets from the 90's stuck to it.
any time charlie
My pathetic excuse for an update:
- remove hood grill trim (broken)
- remove brush guard (broken, hanging)*
- cleaned [most of] my interior with Lysol
* By doing this I realized the extent of my oil leak. No bueno. And, I still have a coolant leak. My car hisses every time I drive it more than a few miles (so, whenever it gets warm). I don't know which damn hose it is!
Oh; I'm getting an estimate from Maaco soon and from my dad's friend who's a professional car painter ("ewe, a Honda?" my friend said). The sunroof is going (leaks) and so is the antenna (broken).
Well that's progress.
In for more updates!
Well, a bit before the interior was removed I took out my deck (to give to Mike) and I took out my speakers because I didn't have a wiring harness for the deck that came out of my parts car. Come today I found it. In the box. With the deck. So, I've successfully and happily installed my deck and speakers, and I have tunes! The only problem, though, is that one of the two wires on my back left speaker won't hook-up correctly so it's really static-y. Oh, and my antenna is broken, so I'm stuck with MP3's and CD's.
So, I've pretty much given up what little enthusiasm I had into this car. Every time I think about the first coupe, I lose motivation. I just don't like this car. It's ugly and smells, and I can't do crap because I don't know shit about cars. I want to get an EG hatch and call it good. If I found a nice SE-i coupe, I'd take it, but this car is just too much.
Wow what's wrong with the car now? It looks like to be a good coupe if you don't want it ill take it off your hands
If you saw it in real life, you'd think otherwise. Mike says it's not that bad, but to me, it will never compare to my other coupe.
LOL. so you want a EG. Just the fact that there easy to work on? DUDE fuck that. fix it up. Keep your head up. Im going threw the same shit. BUT damn i would never go that low. if im like.....well im getting a s2k....WELL THERES a different story. but i would prolly have both cars lol

lol charlie man, its a project it anit going to be perfect, you need to set it your goal to make it the way you want it, then when you get to that point it will be one of the most rewarding things ever to drive it.
telling you bro dont give up, you dont see me giving up on my pile of crap rust heap do ya? and i owned a MINT wire tucked sexy ef hatch before the accord.

If you really hate this car so much, just keep waiting, and save your money for a better one. EG hatches are all beat to snot, and get stolen all the time. Not that most 3gees aren't beat to snot, but at least there are fewer riced out ones so better chance of finding a nice one.
Man you need to check out the thread of how your 3g use to look like you will be suprzed
I reallyreallyreally want a nice Brittany Blue SE-i coupe. I see them everywhere here in Renton (yes, many different ones). I really should have jumped on that one down the street. It was a nice start.
Now, if I can find a decent black interior, keeping this car is a whole 'nother story...
the more you want it the harder its gonna be hard to find exactly what you looking for but maybe it will turn up soon or buy an se-i and paint it blue and work on it from there
Hmmm, well, I'm heading down to the 'yard today to finally go into the "forbidden" section to look for third-gens. And, I'm going to pick up an OEM Bose SE-i amp for $15.
grab the wireing deck and speakers aswell

Wiring deck? And, the front speakers are gone. I forgot about the back. It still has rear discs and an SE-i steering wheel.
):
But, nobody cares, anyways...
wheres it going?
1988 Honda Accord LX-i Coupe 123k miles.
... What the shit?
That's unfortunate. I always thought the only thing that could kill these cars is rust...
Oh, I forgot to say it was towed to my house. A hose burst on the freeway and it started overheating, so I had to have it towed. The only problem this time is I can't figure out which hose is ruptured, so I can't replace it. I've gotten it narrowed down to a certain area, though.
Let me guess...behind the intake manifold?
Lol very emotastic picture though. I, too, was like what the shit!
