    Talking I am Cork, and this is my 89 Si 4 Door Accord.

    Hello 3geez, greetings from Australia, I'm Cork!
    Yep, my real name. Surname anyway.

    I bought my current 89 Accord Si for $200AUS in September 2009, without insurance, and in fairly bad condition. I bought it off my cousin because he didn't want it anymore, how lucky. It ended up being my 18th birthday present.

    I don't actually have a photo from when I first got my car, because I didn't care about it, haha. But this is days before I got my license;



    If you look closely, you may see the heinous amount of rust in the sunroof...

    Close up;


    It was fairly gross, but easily fixable!
    The reason it was so rusty is because the previous-previous owner had sealed the sunroof shut because it was leaking, thinking it was a faulty seal.
    Alas, after a quick google search, I found out there was actually a common problem with the drainage lines being blocked, so I un-sealed the sunroof carefully, and the wiring/switch/sliders all still worked, and the sunroof opened nicely.

    Here is my lovely friend Jaime being antisocial after i fixed the rust / paintwork;



    More to come when I can be bothered, hopefully putting some money into this 2.0ltr beast for my birthday at the end of this month.

    I have a thought for some reason that its already on low springs, but can go lower.

    I'd honestly struggle with it being lower, and definitely couldn't thrash it as hard as I do...

    What would be the best method of getting it an inch or so lower?

    general idea of what I want it to be like soon.
    Probably a different colour, but not sure.
    and definitely some nice new shoes!


    any suggestions?


    -edit-

    wow I must have been high when I photoshopped this.
