Hey guys let me introduce myself with a little back story.

A couple of months ago I purchased a 1997 honda accord, sedan, 5 speed 100K miles, all stock. I'm here to learn about it, see what common problems these cars have and what are their fixes. Love the 5 speed BTW.

This purchase was done for the sole intent of daily driving it to work but every time I sit on it I want to upgrade things. Such as nice set of wheels, a paint job since it's hammered and from looking at other similar models I take it it's a common issue? last but not least suspension work. Nothing too crazy overall. The suspension work is really needed because of the way I drive. Apparently, I like to take those off ramp turns rather harshly and the car lets me know each and every time

I'm no stranger to cars that require a work. My current other two cars are a 1971 VW karmann ghia (needs love) and a 1994 Mazda Rx-7 (almost done)

Pic time...

Here's my accord: As you can all see the paint is hammered but the car runs great!





My 71 Ghia: Which is next on my list

Used to be red


After paint job:


The ghia was almost complete but life got in the way and now it needs love again...

My 94: Which is my pride an joy and I am almost done with it. All it's left is new seats

When I first got it. It came with those awful wheels so don't hate too much pls


How it looks now:


Engine bay shot



Anyway glad to be here and hope to learn while I'm at it.
