Hello Honda Forums,

Newbie here from Vermont. Just aquired a very nice silver 2008 Accord Coupe LX-S with the 2.4 four banger and 5-speed tranny.

I love the car, it's my second Accord, my first was a Green 89 LXI Coupe.

Interesting thing is, this car and my 89 were both sold from the same dealer in Poway CA. I bought my first one brand new there, and the latest I purchased here in Vermont, it's a 1 owner car and left California eight months ago.

So a couple of questions for you Accord experts:

1. One thing I don't like is how the engine stays at high RPMs between shifts making smooth shifting more difficult (especially for my 15 year old son in training). Is there a fix for this?

2. The drivers seat is sort of loose, it wiggles during driving.

3. I would like to add some power, suggestions would be great.

Thanks and here are a few pics.

 

For now, Thank you for joining.

Might post those questions in General Tech.....better answers/views in there.

I like the old 3rd gen (86-89) Accords
