1988 Honda Accord LX-i review from North America
"A very nice car at a good price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had only a couple problems with the car:
1. The suspension is gone.
2. Valve tap ever since I got it.
3. The pipe from the header to the cat went at 120,000 miles. That was about $400.00.
General comments?
The car is pretty fast, since I put on the exhaust and intake. I put in a short shifter, it is more comfortable to drive. The suspension I replaced with Eibach sportline springs and Tokico shocks. It handles really well.
