    Re: Joay's 1988 LX-i

    Sorry about the pictures; didn't see today coming and just had my phone on me. Although in the right conditions, the 8330 isn't half bad. So:

    It was like seventy degrees with a lovely breeze going on today, so I gave the car its first decent cleaning since I got it. I don't know what kind of dog the guy I bought this from had, but it must have gone bald twice a week.

    You can't see it, but there's still some pink gummy crap by the inside of the driver seat. I think it's factory threadlock, there was some on a bolt on the seat itself.






    And on the other end of the driveway...






    We were going to wash the outside too and take some good pictures but then we got hungry and went to the shop instead.




    Also! Found this guy at an 'Eat'n Park' in Bridgeport. I left him (her?) a message with 3Geez.com on it.

    Re: Joay's 1988 LX-i

    Went for a drive last Friday afternoon (got drunk and left my camera at a buddy's house). Tried to do video but the camera was pretty much pointed out the bottom corner of the window.

    Would've gotten more at a couple other spots but the light was about done when I got the last of these.



















    Owned the car for over eight months and that was second time I've washed it.

    Woah, there are a lot of people with beige-on-red 3g coupes. I have one, too. Stock, unfortunately.

    Thanks! If you actually want a sticker like that PM me, I made more.

    Sure do, the engine is in fantastic shape but the suspension is kinda sloppy. I'm trying to save up and replace all the bushings and ball joints at once, and possibly get some new struts. No idea what's after that.

    Yeah it's just turned a little under 360 degrees.

    Yeah I really like them, but mine are fucked. They're all cracked and they look like someone repainted them at some point. I looked for some replacements but couldn't find any genuine Hondas that weren't cracked.

    I don't understand what made people think that was an attractive color in the 80s. I can't stand it. My old Accord (CB7 EX) had that color, but it was a lot redder and even worse. The only reason I can put up with this interior is because it's a step in the right direction.

    Didn't really like the way this one turned out, but it's a good example of what 250 North out of WV looks like:



    That goes on for like an hour.

    Go get some of the duplicolor silver wheel paint for the caps. I used it and it turned out pretty good. It's pretty close if not spot on to the original color.

    Progress springs and stock struts. Actually, the rears are OE replacements of some sort, but the fronts are Honda (and older than my car ).
