KARTer 2nd Gear August 8, 2011 Author Share August 8, 2011 But no power steering hahaha I like the 2nd and 3 rd generation Accords too... after that gen I dont seem to like them anymore Karter u must start a thread on `list the cars you've owned before' I remember the 2nd Gen Accord had quite similar overall body profile as the Bluebird at the time (just my personal impression). I like the deep/big windows of the 3rd gen... Will be good to have such a thread as you mentioned.... not sure it has been done before? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good-Carbuyer 1st Gear August 9, 2011 Share August 9, 2011 My very first mod was an 'extractor' installed by a ICT fren, all in about $400 and the mid range torque improvements were very obvious..... back in those days when engines didnt have ECU, just carb/distributor... Do you consider adding a $8/- air filter, a (DIY) modification? A little noiser for about 10% better FC. Or within $100/- Cold Ram Air Intake (DIY). Noiser with better accelerartion, but could not recall if that was when the 28.83km/L achieved along local roads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go for suspension and IHE. And then so on and so forth. Final step should be ECU tuning or piggyback (after everything is completed). ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
