Hello! i am potentially purchasing a 1990 accord w a manual transmission and 190,000 miles. i’m a big fan of early gen accords but have never owned one, and this will be the first car i purchase myself (f19). asking for advice from other, more experienced older honda accord owners, and looking for things i should know about these cars such as small tweaks or common issues.

if i don’t go through with buying this car, im still interested in the 1990-1993 accords and would appreciate and knowledge and advice about those models as well! thank you :)

when i got the car there were switches wired for my fans and AC. i’ve undone all said wiring in attempt to fix the issue, a couple points were cut in the wires that i’ve re connected and wrapped up. then, i changed the fan relay under the hood, and fuses related to such. after that, fans came on on their own, beautiful, however, then they would stay running with the car off forever. so, i tested both thermo switches by unplugging them with the fan running, nothing. bought a new fan timer module, nothing. current issue; fans do not run with the car on or the key turned, but come on immediately as the car is off / key is turned back to off. i’ve pulled apart my old timer module and the board looks solid, no messed up solder joints or burnt out looking things so to me the likelihood of this (or in this case both modules) being bad is low. anyone got any ideas / suggestions?

I have a bunch of stock parts for a 92 cb7, f22a6 engine, 5 speed manual. All stock parts available motor wise, exhaust manifold, bottom end, newer camshaft I was thinking I’d be able to put in my head but it was too scored and melted from the old one rattling around in the head. All valves and springs etc are in good condition aswell as bottom end and pistons. If anyone needs or is looking for a specific part, engine wise let me know and shoot me an offer. I have a set of new front rotors drilled and slotted brand new in packaging and two front hubs brand new wrapped up.

I am swapping my gauge cluster to LED's and my main concern is matching the color of the original. Is it correct to get warm light LED's instead of the super bright white?
