I got a 91 Accord that that I got in a very sad way. It was my Mother's car. She passed on 7/10 of this year from cancer. I can't say I love the car because it has 4 doors and an auto trans. I just can't bring myself to selling it. The 4 door part don't bother me to much but the auto trans does. I would like to swap it to a Manuel trans. I don't have any pics but will post them when I take some.

 

Welcome to HAF. I also inherited my accord the same way you did. It is tough sometimes to drive it, and the memories, however I am learning how to deal with the loss, it has been 12 yrs since my mom died from cancer. The car is a great reminder of our loved ones. I hope you find the swap information you need, post pics when you can, we like pics.

 

Hello new member and welcome to the HAF..

Thank You for joining.

 

Sorry to hear. Cancer is a horrible thing. Lost my mother and a sister in law to cancer. My wife is also a beast cancer survivor.

Been reading a little about the H22 swap.

 

 

That is a pretty clean looking 92.

Your choice on the "plans" - just a trans swap or a trans and engine swap. Me, if I was younger, I'd just do the trans and enjoy from there.

And yes, I too have a story behind one of my Accords. It will always have a home at my house. My wife was even talking about building a small shed/garage so we could keep it in there as she can't let it go either...at least not anytime soon. So I feel for both of you on your loss. I'm with "woody", the first few times I drove it - well all I can say is that sucked. Then I got used to it - never forgot just got to the point where I was proud to be in that car and thinking of the memories.

 

I would like it to be peppy and fun to drive but not looking for it to be a racer. I want it to look like a nice cruiser. I'm thinking a repaint, nice rims in a 16 size and maybe a mild looking body kit. I haven't really driven the car so I don't know how the power feels in it.

 

By the way, what's up with all the tech posts in this section ? Must be a lot of people that are new to using forums coming on here.

 

Thanks for the pics, looks good, sounds like you have a well thought out plan for your new ride, I would forego the body kit, but that is personal choice, swap in a 5 speed, give it a complete tune up, some modern wheels from a late model acura or such and enjoy. In answer to your ? I think folks just post where the feel like it, not looking for specific sections.

 

I kind of watch to see where a "new member" post goes.

Many times they end up as a "one and done" (a quick intro, a question or two and you never see them again), so that is why I don't move them right away.

Now if one starts getting into a "tech" type discussion I will move it to the proper section - usually General Tech
