Hey guys, so I came across some coilovers on a local forum and the user says they're for 88-00 civics and integras. Would these fit on my 89 lxi?
They're "megan racing coilovers"

Ya 2tables they will any 86 to 89 parts for a suspension will work all the suspension parts are the samethere was a small change to the rear I think but shocks and struts never changed there desing I bought some no names for a 86 to a 00 they went on like warm butter over bread nice find in my oppion
Generally, I don't believe Civic and Integra suspension parts are interchangeable with our Accords. You'd have more luck with a Prelude.
Hey guys is there a d series vtec swap that is a close enough fit in the 86 accord lxi hatchback that there wouldn't be any or a lot of moding
aughhhhh search!!! the answer is noOriginally Posted by jbs_lx-i

Lost get off your rag man. This is a thread to ask stupid questions so best thing to do is to give a stupid answer so they will search. Lol
Lol sorry boss I had already done some research into the b16 and 18 but I liked the idea of the d16y8 resting in the bay
i gave him the link and everything
I have yet to see this swap done, I don't even think it can be done
Then buy a civic end of story. lol Dont put the accord in shame with the d series. No offense to you civic owners out there.
if you are going to go to the trouble of a swap, do the JDM B20 for this car, plenty of people here can help you with questions, and it will put that D series to shame
Out of All the motors from honda he chose a d series lol might as well put a k20 in there and be done with!
one of the biggest mistakes Honda ever did was not putting the B20 in the USDM Accords, it was a great car, and probably would have had a much bigger following today with that engine
yeah but they put the f series motor in them which were not bad but lack power. i think the H22 would be a good motor for the accord since prelude and accords are hardly worked on if they are worked on they rice them out. sucks that the accord is considered a family car then a suitable street car like the civic or prelude and integra's.
i mean back in the day they might have not been considered as much a family car with the more powerful engine. the hatch is definitely not a family car, it's hard to put anyone but small kids and short adults in the back, plus you remove two doors on the hatch and coupe and it changes the cars characteryeah but they put the f series motor in them which were not bad but lack power. i think the H22 would be a good motor for the accord since prelude and accords are hardly worked on if they are worked on they rice them out. sucks that the accord is considered a family car then a suitable street car like the civic or prelude and integra's.
well true but the A series is good enough for these car shit 120hp stock for a late 80's car is not bad if you think about it. yeah 2drs make it look sporty.
the hatch really isn't that different then the first gen Tegs, but with more horsepower and torque, and a better suspension yet the teg is considered a sports car, makes no sense, these cars could have really done well with the extra power to match the handling. It's just hard to look at a four door as a sports car, even the new four doors like the Altima, it's funny how crazy people went over the dual cams in the civic when it hit the streets here, and it already existed in the accord in Japan

Honestly I don't think the accord hatchback ever got its day everytime I go looking I see a 4 door sedan or a coupe the hatchbacks are few and far between which gave it the apperance of the family car I wish they would have carried the hatchback up into the 90s giving the street drivers more appeal to it and like you all said dropped a bit more horse power
it became the Integra coupe, they weren't going to carry two nearly identical cars,so the accord hatchback was dropped,it became redundant
they should have kept the Accord hatch instead, better suspension and more power, the three g lines are so obvious in these cars

The Accord hatch was dropped because the fastback hatch bodystyle was going out of...style. That's why in 1991 it was replaced with a station wagon which held up until the same thing happened. Now there's a crossover; let's hope that thing doesn't last as long.
Maybe we can get lucky and they will replace the crossover with a new accord hatch....not that I'm biased or anything...
1986 Accord LXi 3-door
1968 Chevy C20
lets be honest we are all a little bias I agree with all the remakes of old cars comming back lets hope to see the new accord hatchback
this is why the Acura Integra which was almost identical, it has all kinds of style cues taken from the third generations, was launched to huge sales? it wasn't the body style, it was having two cars that looked the same, the older model lost out, this is done pretty universally in car companies, Honda has always sold hatchbacks well, look at the sales of Civic Hatches, I hope they bring back the style too, retro is big right now, time for another Accord hatch
