new adelaide member with 92 accord

[mrflibbles]

Hi guys,
just joined up as i bought a 1992 honda accord for my wife, but after driving it for a few days myself i like it and she may have to find something else to drive!

main reason i dropped in was to see what parts will interchange between the accord and other hondas, as i would like to upgrade a few bits as i go (coming from subarus where there is a lot of stuff that interchanges!)

thanks for the welcome and i hope to learn a heap from everyone!

Hey there Paul
Welcome to OzHonda
Congratz on the purchase of your '92 Accord, them cb7's are awesome
Had one myself, now I have a cd5 (5th gen)
Pretty sure some parts of the 4th gen Prelude (92-96 BB4) will work with the accord
I know for a fact the base model prelude shares the same F22a9 motor as yours, but with more aggressive camshaft specs
Also the 5th gen Accord shares alot of parts with the 4th gen, so that's something you can think about as well
What do you have in mind?

Also check out South Australia Honda Club, the owner had a cb7 too

ill get some pics up soon, my plans are more for handling and brake upgrades before i do anything motor wise, would like to keep it a reliable daily more than anything so ill be tidying it up and slowly improving stuff. also gotta sort out the paint fade on the roof and bonnet and a small ding in one of the rear quarters.

Brake upgrades
You can do a 5 lug converison with 1st gen odyssey front knuckles and 5th gen prelude rears

also gotta sort out the paint fade on the roof and bonnet and a small ding in one of the rear quarters.

Providing it's not too harsh, some resin polish, wax and an orbital buffer should clear it up fairly well. On an old Honda I am restoring, both the bonnet and roof were extremely far gone. The car had been sitting out in a paddock for years. There was no reflection whatsoever, however after a solid polish it came up like brand new.

Give it a think over. It's not an expensive endeavour either. Under $100 and it'll save you getting the panels resprayed.

Just my two cents. :) Good luck !
