    HondAccordMan : 1991 Accord LX

    PICS ON ALMOST EVERY PAGE!!!!

    Welcome to my Member's Ride Thread. It is dedicated to my '91 Accord LX sedan that I picked up on 7/8/09. It has been my project for almost two years now. It was a real mess when I bought it, but now it's finally starting to come together. Time to start modifying it. No boy racer mods for me, though. All tasteful and well thought out mods only.

    Latest pics as of April 2011

        Timing belt job.


        Nice one Ty...






        You can see why I'm doing this project...

        Here's part of the problem.. the gasket was installed improperly causing a gap at the bottom of the coolant transfer pipe going to the back of the water pump

              New leather everything! :rave:
              Yes, I know it's dirty. It's been my DD and it's hard to detail a car when it's 10 degrees out haha.



              Even a leather steering wheel



              New Sony HU my English teacher gave me. Can't beat free!

              It even works:
