    What's up

    What's up, I'm James.
    I've had an 89' Accord DX for about 2 years now, with 83,xxx miles on the car. It has an A20a1 carb motor in it, woopie..
    Anyways I've been browsing this site as a guest for a day now looking for performance mods and tips, and figured I'd just sign up!

    Welcome!

    Well a good mod would be doing a FI swap and then you can do a lot with that trust me

    Haha thanks, yeah I've been looking at the swap section and apparently nothing is easy to just "swap" out with this car, unless its another a20a1,2,3 (I think anyways). I guess I'll have to do some more research!

    EDIT: Wait FI stands for fuel injected right? haha

    Lol thanks. I've done some searching on here and haven't found really a how-to or guide on FI conversion. Am I just missing something or not searching correctly?
    -Thanks

    Welcome! FYI, it's easier to buy an FI car than to convert a carb. Probably cheaper too.

    Thanks, I plan on it once the weather gets nicer here in CT. Even though my car looks and is completely stock (besides a full system I installed) I'm proud to say that my car has little rust spots!

    Yeah I found that late last night and decided that it's way too complicated for me to try on my own lol.

    Yeah that's what I figured lol. I just want to keep my shell though, I love the 89' Accord Hatchback look.

    Also I had to remove the links do to my low post count!

    yeah true but its better for him to know and how it works if he does the conversion.

    Thanks for the correction dan!!
