"An Awesome Car Anyone (With Speed)"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rust grew around the fenders and around the trunk.

Radiator needed to be replaced at 240 000.

Muffler was changed several times.

5th gear was replaced once at about 350 000.

General comments?

This car lasts forever and is still runnning like a charm.

Has gone over 225 kp/h and speedometer reads 220 kp/h.

Good acceleration.

Lots of power.

Dragged a toyota supra turbo and beat it aswell as a BMW 330ci and smoked it ont he highway.

There's no way an 88 Accord will go 140 mph. Besides, when the speedo is reading that high, it's probably off by 10-50 mph or more. A fuel injected 88 Accord would have a speed governor set to approx 188 km/h, while the carbed Accord just would not have enough power to go any faster than 188 km/h.

If you beat a supra, he probably didn't know you were racing.

Yes, a 1988 Accord can go more than 220kph! I owe a fully stock one with a B20A2 engine, 16 valves and fuel injection. Mine has 210000 kms on it, it's a European version of IIIrd generation Accord. It has 133 horsepower and recently it went 230kph on a German highway, where there are no speed limits, so it was all legal. I doubt it can actually outperform a toyota supra, but still the car is really, really fast.
