Anything I should look for ... as far as typical things that will go "wrong"?? Or potential rust spots etc. I know that Hondas are susceptible to rust damage on the "older" models, but how are they now? I have a 1990 CRX (as you can tell by my user name), and I'm selling it to get this Accord - Once a Honda man, always a Honda man.

 

you should just buy mine...trust me you'll be happy...ask anyone on this board

 

good luck i love accords

 

I am vouching for shan.

 

why thank you brian.

 

This is why, he is a nice guy. Buy his car dang nabbit.

 

there really should not be too much to look for on a 97 se...make sure the tranny shifts good, find one with low miles...and enjoy

 

i think im about to cry...

 

So you're all saying that this is an excellent car? The 1997 Accord SE in general that is - There are no "known problems" with this car.

I've had my eye on this car for YEARS now, and I'm very close (within a week or so) to making the move.

I want an Accord which is perfectly cherry. I am an electronics installer, and I'm going to take the stereo out of my CRX and put it in the Accord. I want to build this car from "scratch". That means starting with a completely stock vehicle, and "upgrade" from there.

 

hmm...we can work something out....

 

i hope you dont plan on modding it for speed...because the 97 SE only comes in a non-vtec 4 cylinder with auto tranny

 

I HAVE A 1996 ACCORD WITH 23,553 MILES, KINDA NEW YET


JUST GO FOR THE V6 MODEL OR IF UR LUCKY GET A V~TEC

only problem i had was once u take apart the dash to install a radio, it will not fit like factory. bolts will not stay tight

 

don't get the se...get the lx coupe 5 sp...

 

first...dont use CAPS LOCK...second...i was here b4 you so i get to sell my car first...


third...just go for a v6? hmm ok...so he can have a auto and have less aftermarket support...ok good idea...fourth...why would he have to be lucky to get vtec? and also you dont "GET A V~TEC"...wtf? it isnt a lotto ticket...

just please stop talking!!! and now i shall quote one of our beloved ht members....can i please have the 15 seconds of my life back?
thanks
-Management (sorry i couldnt help myself)

 

like i said mate...by my car mang! its everything you hoped for and more!

 

I think he wants to look classy with his dash trim....please, will the correct quote please chim in.

 

first off my car is not 4sale..second..depending on what u plan on doing with it was not said.. third..depending on where u live a factory v~tec is hard to come by around here..& fourth..SCREW UR CAPS RULE, U GET 2

 

Does anyone know what he just said? And what isanyway?

 

nononononno...............PHAQ U ASSCLOWN!!!

 

CapZ dont fly round here patna! 20 paces, turn, fire!

 

Jeezzz ... All I wanted was some friendly advice here ....

I want the 1997 Accord SE Coupe Red Automatic - Why? Because I'm sick of stick, I want AC, I absolutely love the way this model looks in red, and it's bigger and more comfortable than my CRX - I guess you could say I'm getting old.

What would I like to do with upgrades? No engine swap BS (because if I'm gonna do that, I'll save my $$ and get an RSX). Probably get a cold air intake, exhaust, punch the cat, headers (maybe), and most importantly suspension!! Lower it a little, 16" wheels, sway bars (upper and lower) and then ... Enjoy it!

The suspension upgrades will be first BTW.

 

man im just kiddin with you...even tho its an auto you can still do some mods to it...it doesnt matter....if you like it..then get it..dont let us stop you all those mods sound like a good plan...but definatly get a header...but im not sure about hollowing out the cat...i heard bad things about that...but im prolly wrong on that part...but have fun with it...

oh and btw...if it doesnt work you my car is still for sale!

 

where's Mike P. at when you need him? ohhhhhhh Mikey.....

 

Thanks Gennady and Brian.
