Hi, I Brian, I own a 90 CRX DX-I D16Z6 Swap (PR3 ECU) I-Iceman/H-AN-R Compact/E-Thermal R&D Classic, Auto - Manual Conversion (L3 Tranny), ACT SS Disc HD Press. Plate, Fake Skunk2 Short Shifter, 15x7" Bronze Rota C10's Tokico HP's w/ IB Spec Springs, ST Sway bars for (DA Integra), and 90 Integra Sedan B20B, Auto - Manual Conversion (Using JDM YS1 w/LSD), ACT SS Disc HD Press. Plate, B&M Short Shifter, Tokico Illumina's w/ IB Spec Springs, 15x7" Bronze Rota C10's.
I recently got the urge to purchase an Accord. So my friends and I went out looking for one, found a 92 Accord EX Sedan for $1500. its an auto, its black with black tan interior. The interior is near perfect, except the steering wheel is a little worn. The car has 125K miles on it. Has new tires. The paint is a little faded, the spoiler is cracked, the tail lights are missing, the transmission is slipping
they can fix it for an additional $500, bringing the car to a total of $2000. Since I used to be more into the "Go fast yet Look Stock" thing, (I guess sleeper) I've since grown out of it, and I want something to just cruise around in and get good mileage. Basically its time to get a Daily Driver.
So this search for the best accord daily driver aroused a few questions.
General Questions -
1. What year, would make the best daily driver. In any form, Sedan/Coupe/Wagon. I like em all, more partial to a Wagon & Sedan than the Coupe. But just the best overall Accord as a Daily Driver. Some stipulations are, must be able to be lowered (the right way), have nice 17-18" wheels, get good mileage.
Suspension/Brake/Wheels/Tires
2. On 88-91 Civics and Crx's you can use 90-93 Integra rear suspension for things like disc conversions, rear sway bars. Does this apply to the Accord Chassis too? If so what years interchange with each other.
3. Im not too worried about going fast, I want this car to get the stares from da' ladies. Im sure I want to run some sort of lightweight race wheel, under 18". As far as suspension goes Im not sure
Engine/Chassis Code questions
4. What are the Chassis codes for 90-93 Coupes/Sedans/Wagons, 94-97
Coupes/Sedans/Wagons, 98-01 Coupes/Sedans, 02+ Coupes/Sedans?
5. What engines are in the 90-93 Coupes/Sedans/Wagons, 94-97 Coupe/Sedans/Wagons, 98-01 Coupes/Sedans, 02+ Coupes/Sedans? I know they are F22's but know nothing about them. With these engines can you put H series internals (aftermarket or stock) in the F series. What about F series VTEC heads on non-vtec blocks?
So if you could assist me in purchasing an accord by answering my questions it would be much appreciated.
