Default New to the site but not to Honda

Hi out there. Was looking for a good Accord site to help me research options for building a sleeper 94-97 wagon.

I have had several Honda's over the years and currently have a 2010 Accord, 98 Base Prelude, and a 83 Civic 1300.

I am looking at the wagon because they are unique and the F22B's look pretty easy to boost using readily available parts.

I am sure i will find plenty or resources here regarding the 94-97 Accords.

Wish me luck!

Welcome to the site, it sounds like a fun project you have planned. It also seems like you have a nice collection of Hondas.

As far as the 94-97 wagons goes, the hardest part by far is finding one in manual.

Yeah that is the rub. Am I correct that the only the 94-95 models came with the 5 speed?

Yes I believe that is true, and even then it was a small number. The few I have seen in manual for sale the sellers have been asking high prices because of its rarity.

Converting a wagon to manual however is no different than converting a coupe or sedan to manual.

Thanks, I am always prowling the junkyards here in Houston and have seen several 90-93 model wagons with the manual. However I have only seen (1) 5th gen (I hope i got that right) with a manual.

I really don;t want to convert to a 5 speed due to ECU issues, but hey it's fun, right?

The ECU is one of the simpler things to change. I'd say the hardest part is the transmission mount because you have to cut out the automatic one and weld in the manual.

I personally have never converted one, and I can't say I'd be too excited to.

And yes 5th gen is 94-97.
