Honda Accord 90..... Help Please

[Qckrun 10+ year member]

Hello, i recently bought a 1990 Honda Accord LX 2 door car. What i was wondering is what do you guys think i should do? Fix up the body, like body kits, a hood, some Fenders, or what? What would you guys do with a 90 Accord? I heard these cars are the ones people are looking for. Also would you guys just work on the engine and forget the exterior or what? I'm open to all opinions and i am looking for to hearing your guys response. Please give some info thanks.

Ok, it seems like you want to rice your car...

that's not really looked highly upon around here...

It's a caraudio forum, if you didn't notice..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

anyway, if I had the car, I'd do more stuff on braking and handling before touching up on the engine...

bodykits? Your car's not gonna need that much of downforce with a stock motor... if you want to add some audio stuff, that's gonna be really heavy... the sub box alone would weigh as much as an average female passenger, or even more than that. If that's the case, still, it wouldn't call for bodykits...

I also wouldn't go extreme with the rims either. Thicker, larger diameter tires don't mean your car will go faster. It will, in effect, slow you down.

Go step by step, and one day, you'll look back and regret that you even considered bodykits...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Wow, that's a hefty box...I'd say the average box doesn't weigh over 100lbs??

Really? hmm, well, I've got 2 old RF 10" subs, and has a little bit more wood than a normal box, since I've got this tunnel pass-through thing going on...

well, I admit, I think my estimate was a bit off...

but all in all, box and the amp rack, faux floor would amount to more than 100lb for sure... the wood itself should weigh more than that, minus the equipments...

I had thought about gettin an early 90's accord, but i cant do that know because i want to tune my 90 lude up first, but i had an idea of making a top speed accord. the only thing i would do to the exterior is lower it with coilovers and get a camber kit to make the wheels straight again, and then just make the body look like new again, shave the attena and moldings and then maybe some rims but steeles are fine, they have great side wall grip and then put all your moola into an engine swap or tune up the F22 i believe that is in your car a top speed car isnt fast at the quarter but it'll kill any car at a top speed run of course.
