1987 Honda Accord Si Hatchback review from North America

Well we just bought this car. Drive it home, and park it for the day cause we only got a temp. permit to drive it home. Then we put insurance on it the next day. Take it for a spin. Right away the temperature gauge shoots up to saying that it is going to explode. So we think OK, but be a thermostat. We change that. That does not correct the problem. Then we notice that the radiator has a crack, so we think, OK maybe that is what is wrong with it. We replace it, still not fixing the problem. So we replace the censors, the one on the radiator, and the one on the engine. Still not fixing the problem. People kept telling us, it must be the head gasket or a cracked cylinder head. Didn't listen to them. So we tried one more thing, we went to the auto wreckers and got a new instrument cluster, thinking the problem may be electrical. Bang, now it works perfect. That cost us a dozen doughnuts, cause we know the guy at the auto wreckers.

Next we replaced the brakes, it needed them really bad!!!

We are going to do the top-end in the spring, cause it pushes a little blue when you first start it up. Plus, it has a great body, very little rust and we want to keep the car as long as possible.

This is a great car!! It looks good!! Very sporty!! Man does it want to go... it has mega power!! Then again, I am used to driving a Tracker.

When we get a new paint job for this car. It will be the hottest car in my town!!
