I need some advice on a 91 Accord!!! - 3/24/2008 8:02:55 PM    VTEC2713   Posts: 10 Joined: 3/24/2008 Status: offline Ok, so right now I own probably the oddest combination of cars. I have a 97 Dodge Ram 1500 SS/T, and a 97 Honda Prelude. Both have mods. Im looking for something else to preoccupy myself and my next door neighbor has a 1991 4dr Accord. The thing is a hunk of junk, but he is offering me a ridiculously good price of $400 for the car and pinks. The car runs, just needs an idle air control valve. Thats it. The car is in what i would say "poor" condition. $400 isnt bad at all but my question is whether or not that car is worth fixing. Any ideas? And if so, send me some pics so I can help my deciding factor. Here are a few pics of the potential purchase: () () () () _____________________________ -Rich- () 97 Prelude -H22 -DC Sports Short Shift Kit -Fidanza Stage II Clutch -12LB.

As of right now im trying to replace my junky interior < Message edited by billysaccord90jdm -- 3/27/2008 10:18:11 AM > (in reply to falkore24) Post #: 4

He has an H22A4 (red top) on it.. So i guess if you don't mind doing engine swaps and mod's and whatever then yes go for it. my homeboy is happy with his accord and his is not normal..he has alot of modifications on it.. and i know he beat a 2004 mustang before(300 Hp,not shelby) heres some pics i found for you,maybe this'll help your decision < Message edited by HORSEPOWERJUNKIE2007 -- 3/27/2008 2:56:47 PM > _____________________________ "00 accord(dark green) kenwood 50W Alpine 75W amp 2 (12")kenwood 1200Watt subs 18" daimani rims Black crystal headlights Carbon fiber LED taillights http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee309/Shadowm2007/ (in reply to VTEC2713) Post #: 6

RE: I need some advice on a 91 Accord!!! - 4/3/2008 10:25:41 AM    VTEC2713   Posts: 10 Joined: 3/24/2008 Status: offline Thanks you guys. I talked to the owner and he thinks it might need some new valve cover gaskets because there is a small oil leak from the seal. But other than that it runs well. Interior is not as bad as exterior, but what do you expect for $400. I am doing some searching around still for a DD. But this is still up there on my list. But my main concern is if I do a swap for a H22, im going to put alot more into the engine than i want to. I could just find a 2nd gen integra with a B series in it and get alot more performance. So im still looking but thanks for the advice guys, keep it up!!!! _____________________________ -Rich- () 97 Prelude -H22 -DC Sports Short Shift Kit -Fidanza Stage II Clutch -12LB.
