John,

Good point about VTEC Accord vs VTEC Civic. I'm hearing about H22a and I4 and all. What VTEC 4 cyl is in the 98 Accord? Your pix are awesome! I'm looking at a 98 Accord EX black as well w/ leather pkg. The owner's asking 8200. I'll give him that because it's below kbb for private parties if it's as in good condition as the pix show. It's got 83k miles. I'm insisting that the timing belt be replaced or take 200 bucks off. Does this seem like a reasonable approach to you considering what you paid for your '99? If I pull the trigger on this I'll be asking you more about the mods you've done. Those wheels are pretty gucci - I'd be looking to upgrade from the alloys on this '98. BTW - brother in law works for Honda Ohio in Dublin, small world, eh?! I'm seeing if he can work me a discount on one of their company leases but it's hard from the right coast! Cheers, Kelly
