I'm going to buy a 88 accord. And turn it into a old school beast. I had several question that several of you mite know. First are there any headlight conversion kits for that year of accord. Second what would be a better engine swap the f20 type R or the b series Type R integra engine. Third and last where can find a good looking body kit. I'v looked and I'm starting to think all have to learn how to make body kits just to get a decent looking one.

 

eh, thats a hard gen for swaps, it was before what i call the first revolution, just like we are in a time of change starting witht he k series we were in a time of change goign from old school b series to the 90's b series h and f motors.

 

A 90 Accord would be a better project. There are a lot more available parts for this year.

 

I have an 88 Accord also but now its just my beater purchased an 01. Ive seen guys put b16s in 3rd gens but if you want a more helpful site for the 3rd gen check out www.3geez.com. Build up the 88 thats one of the best Accords mine has 265,000 and still going keep us posted.

 

the 3rd gens are much lighter also...the hatch only weighs 2500lbs...like a civic
