dfj240 Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 Hey I'm looking into an 85 Accord right now, that I can pick up for $250, in running condition. It will need a driver door, but that's it. I am planning either an F-Series, B-Series, or possibly an H-Series (if possible), but I was wondering what the curb weight of the 85 Hatch Accord's is. Anyone know? I know that they use the old ES2 carb motor, but I wasn't sure what to expect as far as performance was concerned considering the weight. Thanks for your help.. -Nathan
cranny Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 forget about engine swapping an FI engine into a carb car dude.
Jeffro Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 All I could find was an '85 CRX: 1985 Honda CRX Si MT 1883 1985 Honda CRX DX MT 1819 1985 Honda CRX HF MT 1713
Humphries Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 they weigh about 2400 lbs.. they have a bigger gas tank and a... bigger everything than a CRX.
dfj240 Posted May 24, 2007 Author Posted May 24, 2007 forget about engine swapping an FI engine into a carb car dude. lol.. No, not completely.. I know it will be a hefty little project, but as far as I've seen it's a feasible one. I would need the gas lines and all that from an CB or even a CG in order for the fuel system to operate properly. It will serve as a daily beater for now, but I might try to get crazy with it later.. IMO an 85 Accord with an H22 would be one of the ultimate sleepers.. Of course, I'm not sure whether I want to spend that kind of money on it just yet, but it may be a possibility.. Still can't seem to find exact data, but thanks for the estimates.. I know it's a bit heavier than the Rex, but I would figure it being less than 2,400.. I'll keep looking.. Thanks all.. -Nathan
Humphries Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 my civic weighs 2640 lbs with me in it.. your accord probably weighs the same.
Ben. Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 ROFL your fully loaded SI only weighs that? Didn't Rob's EH2 weigh something close to 2400/2500?
dfj240 Posted May 25, 2007 Author Posted May 25, 2007 Well, I bought the Accord tonight and also found the answer to my question.. The 85 Accord Hatchback weighs 2,272, and the sedan weighs 2,315. I have the Hatch. Thanks for the responses.. -Nathan
Humphries Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 with you in it its probably 2400 so i was right.. im done. good luck with the accord though.. i love old hondas.. they're so sexy.
dfj240 Posted May 28, 2007 Author Posted May 28, 2007 lol... alright you win.. haha.. anyways, I'm looking for parts if anyone knows where to get a driver side door let me know.. thanks.. -Nathan
