hi, just picked up an 85 honda accord for $100. its a 5-sp manual hatch in pretty damn good mechanical condition. i cant find anything on the net about its ET1 engine (i'm 99% sure its an ET1). any general info would be cool, and super-cheap mods would be also cool (its retiring to a farm soon, where it will live out its final days in screaming agony at the hands of me and my friends). any other info about the car would be appreciated.

rego ran out a couple of days ago, will be applying for unreg permit so i can drive it round a bit then take it out bush, go nuts and leave it there when it blows up, or if i cant kill it ill come back to finish the job (this is a private property btw).

car was owned by a honda service mechanic for most of its life. it drives so well, everything runs like clockwork and its pretty quick. in performance and cornering feel (pretty flat) it probably matches or beats out my 95 pulsar. its even comfortable, has working A/C and a sunroof (sealed up). fekking amazing.

btw, black hood cost $8 in spray paint. lol.

if anyone knows what it is i'd be very interested to see what ive picked up. or if someone could help me in the way i could use rego/vin/engine/compliance number to find out exactly what it is and where it came from.
