My 1990 Honda Accord LX.
I recently got this car for $1250, it has 169k miles and counting. It runs good and drives pretty good.
It has it's flaws, needs a bit of work here and there, but eventually it will be a nice looking car.
I plan on eventually doing a vtec conversion, lowering the car with coilovers, new tires and rims, getting an intake and exhaust system for the car.
It's currently my daily so I can't have it off the road for more than a weekend.
It just so happens that as my dad and I were on the highway to go look at the car, my mom called and said that the honda she was driving just broke down. The old and tired f22a1 bent a rod and ended up with a seized motor.
That Honda accord is the same year and model as mine, only real difference is mine is a manual and her's is an automatic. Lots of parts for me though.
In the 4 days I have owned the car, i've put 207 miles on it. I also noticed that at higher rpm's, 5500 to redline at 6500 it likes to burn oil.
On to the pictures..








Fiberglass resin got onto the seat and messed it up, otherwise very nice interior.

There is currently a 'Dual' Headunit with USB and AUX, and a 12", 1200watt pioneer subwoofer in the trunk powered by a 400 watt 'Dual' Amp (upgrading later on, not a big deal for me)

I have some new pictures to post, if I decide to stop being lazy and upload them from my phone and camera.
So far the only performance mod is a Spec-D(haters are going to hate, it's all good though) cat back exhaust. Which I did have issues with, two flanges were welded on the wrong way - nothing fit together when I was installing it.. But I had my dad's buddy at work weld them the correct way for me, and everything fits together nicely now.
The exhaust sounds good, the silencer is out of it. it is not raspy or 'ricey' as some people would call it.
I have noticed, that it burns a lot of oil at WOT, more than it should be burning. I have probably put 2 quarts in so far, in around 700 miles. I'm sure if I laid off the pedal I would burn next to no oil, but my foot is just glued to the floor for some reason.
Does anyone know what typically causes oil to burn on these f22s? Valve seals or piston rings?
