True about them being sleepers (well, at least the 88-89 LX-i's). Major advantages that these cars have is, 1. fairly low weight, 2. they're really not that bad stock with crank 120hp. and 3. the only good thing about the A20A is that it's a 2.0 SOHC, which means gobs and gobs of torque. I love the torque to hp ratio. (Damn near 1:1).

Please do a big favor and tell you mechanic about www.3geez.com. It's a forum dedicated to 86-89 Accords.
