Default Just bought an 88 accord dx tenzo racing eddition!!!

Hey guys I just bought an 88 Honda Accord DX TenzoR. It has 132 thousand miles and some change and is in good shape. What I need now are some good resources to buy products for my baby. Some major projects coming up within the next couple years will be to either get body stock w fresh paint, or find a body kit if any are available. Next to put together a new engine with high performance in mind. I plan on keeping interior seats stock, would like to change out the stock gauges and just spice the interior up a bit. The car is lowered so I'll be working on getting some struts to stiffin up the chasis and lowering springs for a better ride. So if anyone can help and give me some good places to check out online to start that would be great. BTW I live in the Seattle Washington area so if anyone knows of a good shop to goto other than schucks for hight performance parts that'd be appreciated too. I don't plan on racing the thing like in the movies, but I do want a pimpin ride and a solid new engine that rocks when I am done.

I really hope someone didn't sell you this telling you it was a Tenzo-R edition... especially if you actually believed them.
Try http://www.3geez.com/, you'll probably find more info on your 3rd gen there.

Ok Zero there is no TenzoRracing edition. How much did you pay for your vehicle? There are plenty of resources for you vehicle and parts can be CHEAP. to you for buying an Accord and taking the time to research it. Any car can be sweet (beauty is in the eye of the beholder). How many people on here would think a Dusenberg J is a nice vehicle? Also most people on here are not into body kits or stickers. Check the appearance/cosmetic forum. You will find a wealth of information on this site just do a search before you post. Most people are glad to help.

Thanks for the reply. The accord I got has TenzoR on the trunk of the car. I only paid 1750 for it, so I didn't get ripped of in that department (least I hope I didn't). Anyway thanks again.

No I didn't buy it for that. It has a TenzoR on the trunk of the car? Was wondering if it was a limitted eddition or something when I got it. I only paid 1750 for it so I didn't get ripped off in that department.

I like the fact that this kid's profile says he's 34 yrs old.

sounds like he's 14..........

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that Tenzo emblem is probably sold at Pep Boys for $15.99
