Default New 1990 Accord Owner

Hey everyone!

I am a returning Honda owner. I did have a 1987 Lxi years ago and missed it so much I had to get another Honda. Back in 1991 my wife was after me to get either a minivan (BOO) or a man truck (SUV). Gas was cheap and after lots of convincing I gave in. I missed that old Accord. It had 187k on the clock and the front end was starting to go.

To make a long story short, I recently picked up a pampered 1990 Accord with 248k on the clock. With Honda it's only a number! I love this car and to borrow a famous line from the late Charleston Heston, "You will have to pry it from my cold dead fingers".

I will post pictures as soon as I can figure out how to do it.

Jim The Bugman

Thanks for the welcomes guys. The color of my Accord is light blue. I had to put a new exhaust system on the old one rotted away. I went all the way. I did all magna flow stainless steel including headers. Next is a cold air intake. I am not turning it into a tuner. My goal is to make her breathe so I can get better mileage. That is why I wanted an older one....no emissions tests for cars pre-1994.

I'm glad to be here. So do you guys do any meet and greets?

Thanks Wheel broker, but I am good. Any of you have issues with headers fitting? Mine are being blocked by the air conditioning line. It may be a defect from the manufacturer dunno?? I wasn't given an option for with or without air conditioning.
