1990 Honda Accord LX SIR review from North America
"A bargain for your buck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car had many repairs prior to me purchasing it. I bought the car for $1200. From buying it I had replaced:
New drivers side CV joint for $200.
New paint job for $330.
New water pump, timing belt, tensioner belt, new drive belts, new oil seals, all for $770.
Replaced power lock control unit for $50.
Replaced antenna for $12.
Added two sets of new front brake pads.
For performance parts I have added a sport exhaust, cold air intake, and race pulleys. I converted all lights to clear.
General comments?
For having 224000 miles, this car runs perfect. I will be added a new clutch, may I add this is the origonal soon. It hasn't junked out, I just would feel better if I replaced it.
