Default whats worth taking off an EX to put on aan LX?

So far, i have thought about the following..

engine and tranny plus parts for auto to 5 spd swap

rear disc brake upgrade

rear sway bar

sunroof glass and parts..


so i don't know what else to strip off this car before i junk it.. its basically missing all of the interior and the exterior is beat a little but it has all power options. What else should i take off that i might need or is good to have as a back up?

Only SE and EX accords have sunroof. A "LX" with sunroof has no sunroof/moonroof UNLESS it would be aftermarket (seem lots of lx with them), but the OEM sunroof does not fit on these. So, you might want to sell the sunroof assembly rather than keep it.

I am not sure what you have, or if said, but TAKE the window motors if you have elect! They cost $$$ and start to die at about 13-15 years. Cross reference any/all smog control and temp control sensors for position/match and take them. This is probably covered-you said you swapped the motor?

Keep DOUBLES if the parts match-"tag and bag". I just replaced a few of these- $$$$ once again. If it matches both cars, bag it! They eventually go, and as time passes get MORE expensive to replace.

I would gut that car to the ground and keep every part that cross-matched! I gutted/rebuilt the suspension/brakes (entire) on my '94 with all new parts- it cost quite a bit. IF I could have found decent low mileage parts I would have used them-the problem is installing 125K+ parts on a 110K chassis-makes no sense, you have to use some sense sometimes for if its worn out.

good point.. i have a 96 with 130k and this is a 97 with 90k heh. i already took off the WHOLE rear suspension, brakes, brakets, everything. i think im going to take the gas tank, the cluster, the wiring harness, and about everything from the engine bay.

The EX should have power seats, maybe leather too. If so, they should fit in your LX...measure the distance between the seat base bolts first and compare to make sure. You can hook up the EX's wiring harness to the LX's under-dash fuse/relay panel at the "A" or "B" port (ensure to put a 20 amp fuse in the wiring back to the power seats though).
Cheers,

For my 99 Accord LX I got the control unit, wire harness and relays for keyless entry and a alarm from an EX. It was all plug and play. No splicing required.
