Noob Introduction...

Hello,

I am new here, so please bare with me if I am posting in the wrong section, which I believe I am not. Since I am moving to PA(Oxford area), I've searched for some forums and well here I am. I currently own a 1989 Honda Accord LX. This car is basically stock, so nothing special. I noticed lots of tuned cars here, so I seem as an outcast, but maybe you can understand where I am coming from. Anyways, pictures speak for themselves. Lots of work went into restoring this car mechanically.:supz:

Those pictures are kind of old, here are some better ones. Since then I have painted the trim around the car so it isn't faded anymore.

The only "real" mod I have on this car are rear disc brakes from the SE-i and Hella H4 headlights:

You can work on my car!:banana:


Russian, you're not the only one with a stock car. I'm sure your car is better maintained though. When are you moving?

Having the car so "mechanically" focused like you said you've been working on lately is totally awesome. Replacing alot of the old parts I'm sure are making the car feel like its off the lot fresh again... I agree with the whole "lowering" aspect and small JDM type wheels **Rotas** cough and then call it done

Thanks, but unfortunately I may sell the car and move to something newer. Right now I need to figure out this annoying rattle in the suspension. Only things I haven't replace are the radius arm bushings and struts, so I need to check those out. The car does feel great while driving. Not exactly a street car that can corner well, but it can take some corners. Cruising around 110mph without the steering wheel having a slight shake or jerk. :mrgreen:
