dfj240 Posted May 24, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfj240 Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
