My New Summer Project- '91 Accord - AcuraLegend.Org - The Acura Legend Forum for All Generations of the Honda / Acura Legend; 1986 to Present

LegendLand · 07-08-2009, 04:51 PM

Just picked this up for $400. It's a '91 Honda Accord LX auto with 142k miles. May be a future engine swap... as well as the interior which wants to make me barf. Has pretty bad rust, 3 of the 4 doors don't shut, bald tires, and no heat or a/c, bad brakes. It'll be a fun little project for me though. I'll get it running and looking just like new. Right now the car runs and drives like a champ. It's a great little car. Whatcha all think?

always a soft spot in me for Accords, man those interiors last forever (albeit ugly)!

Nine Four One · 07-08-2009, 04:57 PM

i love it, time for an H22 lol good find though.

Nice. Everything is stock so that's a plus. CB7 parts are plentiful and cheap. Two things that I don't like: automatic seat belts and red interior. Well, and the rust. But yeah, these cars are easy to work with.

I used to own a 1990 LX coupe, yes, with the automatic seat belts. Abused the heck out of it but it never died on me. Original engine and clutch/tranny (5 speed) when I sold it with 210k miles due to relocation. I missed the thing.

Thanks, my family has always been huge accord fans. We've owned three in the past already. They're just all around good cars. And don't worry about that interior. If I can find a complete tan or black interior somewhere, all the maroon is going away.

I never liked those seat belts either. Completely obnoxious. The red is disgusting as well. Rust will be 100% fixed by the end of the summer along with a fresh coat of paint all around... some different color. We'll see.

Since you're redoing the interior, you might as well replace the 90-91 automatic seat belts with ones from 92-93. Then it'll be a nice Accord!

We'll see. Depends on what I can find at junkyards for interior parts I suppose. This will all be done after I get the car running properly though. Stay tuned for more!!

damn with a interior that clean i wouldnt mess with it. you should see some of those cb7's they are beat. that thing is really nice. yeah the color is what it is but for a good gas milage DD, just roll withit. could always flip it

T-Clyde · 07-08-2009, 07:26 PM

tint the windows dark and you won't care about the interior. get the exhaust from an EX of the same year. its 2.5 all the way back. cheap easy motorswap is an f22b single cam vtec. those cars are so easy to work on compared to the legend. its like legos VS. techniks (sp?)

Nine Four One · 07-08-2009, 07:28 PM

^ just watch for the two wires for the pcm, i did that swap on my old car and it would be much easier to do an h22, cause your going to have to mod the left engine mount due to clearance issues with the tbelt and run a obd1 ecu and the two wires for the pcm swap and add one for the vtec...if your going to swap go h22. cb7tuner.com has a whole walk through if you want to stay with the f motor but eh'
