I'm thinking bye-bye 'Cordy

[87DXHatch]

Well after doing a little thinking and talking to people around me, I am thinking that, when my tranny dies, I am getting rid of the car and buying something else.

And that could be any day now... the tranny is slipping further and further into the realm of total destruction.

I just got to thinking, and I realized I really don't want an automatic transmission in my next car and I DEFINITELY want FI, I am sick to death of carbueration, and I will never go near it again (Unless someone decides to sell me a Hemi or something comparable for a dollar, Joe Dirt style ).

Could you guys give me some suggestions on how much an 87 with 140k and a shot tranny should go for? The body is in near perfect condition, no rust in the rear fender wells (And I live in MN!) and the only real imperferctions in it is the dent I put in the drivers side door... but I instantly primed that up so it won't rust either. The engine is strong and overall she runs fine... as long as you overlook the carbuerator when it's having its fits

I'm thinking for my next car I want a..... hold your breath...







CRX

A first gen, Si...

Sorry bout your Accord going downhill. Definatly get the Si model tho, PGMFI and 5speed w/4.30 final drive ratio standard.:super:
Sadly, I took my rex out for a cruise last Sat. and 2nd gear, out of nowhere, started making a noise similar to someone trying to put an automatic into park, while still rolling, a loud clickety-click noise! Luckily Ive got a spare engine/trans sitting next to it in the garage!!
Definatly check the underbody for rust tho. Don't really know what u could get for your Accord, I paid $400 for mine, but had to put another $1k into it on repairs, new clutch, timing belt, axles, motor mounts, CD pplayer, etc. Neways Good luck!

So no one has an idea of what I should sell it for if the tranny goes?
