Default CarFax request... anybody still do those?

This is for a new projekt car. Just want to verify mileage and see if there's been any serious damage. TIA.

I was thinking of keeping the original and get a set of twin side-draft Webers as well, even though a newer F-swap would be a better starting point with more potential. This car will stay N/A definitely. If what you say about the head is true then it's even more promising. Anything is better than the 75hp it comes with.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Wikipedia &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Modernizing both the interior and exterior, the second generation Accord was mechanically very similar to the original, using the same 75hp, 1751cc EK1 CVCC engine. Fuel economy increased by nearly 15%. Vastly improved quality control, however, made this one of the most reliable cars on the US market, a position it still holds today. This automobile included popular features of the time such as **** carpet, velour cabin trim and chrome accents. Models were avaliable in Silver, Sky Blue, and Beige. The LX hatchback offered a digital clock and slightly higher fuel economy (due to its lighter weight.)</TD></TR></TABLE>

I might even look into this SE motor, seeing how it puts out 110 from the start.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Wikipedia &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">In 1985, the Special Edition returned as the SE-i, capitalizing on the final year of the second generation's production. A fuel injected, 110hp non-cvcc A2OA1 was exclusive to this model. The moniker, SE-i, was adapted from the SE trim, but included the "-i" to signify the higher trim's fuel-injected engine. This 12-valve, 1955cc engine was the first non-CVCC engine used in an Accord, and was the same basic engine was used by Honda until 1989. Like the previous SE trim in 1983, the SE-i featured novio-leather seating, power moonroof, bronze tinted glass, a premium sound system with cassette, and 14" alloy wheels.</TD></TR></TABLE>

The hard part is figuring out what to put in there. The carb and exhaust manifold are on the same side, towards the firewall. Doesn't look like it has enough room to squeeze an exhaust manifold between the front crossbeam, crossmember, oil pan and oil filter. I'll see if I can get some pictures up.

pics would help.. you could replace the crossmember like many ef's do because of the lack of room on the 88-91 chassis

Got it, and I found an OEM crossmember for the front mounted exhaust manifold. Thanks Santos.

Car is on full-tread Bridgestone ATs, I'm looking for some Watanabe 15x7s or some MR5s, or whatever is cheap and old. For now it can rock the painted 13s. Looking for an 85 Accord motor, 1.8 with side-drafts, not available in the '82 version but fits with no mods. The last thing I need for the drivetrain is an LSD.

Tomorrow comes the junkyard shopping, and luckily the suspension is the simple triple-top-bolt struts with the round clamp bottoms. Rawk on.

I don't plan to hit 10s or anything like you do, I'd be lucky if I made it to 60 in 10 secs. 45mm sounds about right for a 2.0 though.

Yea, I'll be on a 1.8 with a 2.0's head. Hopefully the thing can put out 150-160 and I'll be happy
