It looks amazing! I was 12 when this car was new. My cousin was a mechanic at a Honda dealership and I would go to work with him on days out of school and Saturdays. I loved these so much. I never quite understood why the LXi Hatchback didn't get the alloy wheels and sunroof like the Sedan, but these wheels look better IMHO. Just getting OEM wheels back on it and cleaning up the black exterior trim looks incredible! Edit: The pop-up headlights completed the look of this car. The European versions without them don't even look like the same car. I suppose it had something to do with legal compliance. Like the rest of the car, I've read that the headlight motors are the most reliable in the business.
Awesome memory. Yes, It's a sleeper of a classic for sure, but its day will come. I thought about changing the wheels, but I kind of like the oem caps on it. And those headlights pop up in a heartbeat!
Hey do you have M1943 us army ww2 boots. I so your video. There have many important facts. Good job👍👍. If you have m1943 ww2 boots please donate to me. Please. My foot size is 10.🙏🙏
Still hanging on to my 1999 Honda Civic EX sedan. Never thought I'd be married to this thing but apparently I am. Last couple months, replaced rear brakes and then starter. Also replaced the long time cracked windshield.
Im a guy in my early 20's, i'd known this car as a coupe and sedan, but then i saw the hatchback recently and just absolutely fell in love, instantly became a dream car, such a beautiful machine.
The coupe is nice but yes, the hatchback is the machine! Keep a lookout I've a few in the last few months for sale, not quite as nice as this one, but worth putting some work into.
The Coupe looked good, but it was so similar to the Prelude. The Accord Hatchback was and is very unique looking! I hope you find one! The last two that I saw for sale in good condition were DX models, so they had the black bumpers and carb instead of fuel injection (no power windows or cruise either). But I bet there are some LXis out there.
I had this same car that I bought used in 1994. In 2024 I can still say that it was tied for the best car I've ever had. The other is a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. The Honda was so refined and ahead of it's time that it still drives along with me to this day. I sold it in favor of a brand new 1997 Dodge Neon. Wow! I had a new car! Yeah...Please give me back that Honda!!
I agree. Honda's from the 80's and early 90's were the best of the best. I test drove a neon about that same time, it would have been a tough choice to get rid of it, but I understand, a new car is a new car. I'm glad I found this one.
Earned yourself a follow , as prowd owner of 3 accords , 87' hatchback in same color- misty beige metallic, 88' sedan and a 89' coupe. Simply the best era of honda manufacturing in my opinion, also in colorado so maybe see each other at car shows Hope to see a fellow 3geez member ( 3rd gen honda accord owners group)
@@ebonwestbrook5580 wow! All 3! I haven’t been to a show yet but I will see when the next ones are coming up. If you know of a louver for it, I’m looking. Thanks
@@derekdoeschannel the louvers are considered a unicorn part by fellow 3geez members as its hard to find a set for either the sedan or hatchback, but SFX performance has what youre looking for if 500$ is worth the appearance mod
@@derekdoeschannel FWIW, I had louvers on my '85 CRX and they rattled constantly. I don't know if the same is true for the Accord Hatchback, but they do look very retro and cool.
Hey Derek, I talked to a guy named Dustin Womack on Facebook and told him to contact you via email regarding your Honda Accord. He may have some parts that you were looking for. So be on the lookout for an email from him. I think he tried to get in contact with you and hasn’t heard back yet.
@@derekdoeschannel I would get one, the problem is that they are not that easy to get, at least in Mexico, and the ones that are for sale are in terrible condition's

Thanks. I don't have any currently.
I have an 87 Accord, but it's a LX Sedan. Your's is lovely and you are giving it exactly what it needs! Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you. I really love these old hondas.
My very first car was an 87 LXi just like this one. I miss it oh so much!
try to find another. well worth it!

Too late to sell it now. It’s a classic and will be with you till the end.
@@derekdoeschannel Lol....

@@IgoZoom1 I had an 85 crx hf with the louvers and I loved them. It’s not a silent car without them so I think I can live with a few extra rattles.
Well done! Great work to this beautiful car 🤩
Thank you! 👍
Transmission Fluid yes. You don't need to replace it much. Unlike the oil.
Yes about 80k I think per the manual

Hi Derek, new subscriber here. Everything in channel is great subject thank you
Thank you!
Great looking car Derek. Wish mine was dint free .. all those someone opens the car door on yours etc. Very irritating.
Being a Colorado car it does have some hail dents
I have a 87 lxi with a 5 speed and I wish mine looked as good as this one
I just got lucky finding this one. Not too late to fix yours up.
I had the 86 LXi as my first car. I want one so bad. It is almost identical. Same color.
You need to get another! I love these old Hondas
@@derekdoeschannel I have always wanted to drop an electric crate motor in one.
I owned 3 of those.....kinda miss it but HP wise, it was slow slow slow.
Yes, they're not race cars by any means, but it is comfortable and reliable.
@derekdoeschannel getting passed by d series civics in the 90's was embarrassing....nice find BTW.
If memory serves me right, don’t these cars have unsynchronized gearboxes?
I thought it was?
@@derekdoeschannel I haven't yet driven one of these older Accords so I'm not sure.
@@derekdoeschannel I'm pretty sure it is
What's the rust situation like in Denver there Derek?
It’s not so much. It’s not SoCal but it's not the mid-west or East Coast. id say, pretty rust free.
@@derekdoeschannel Cool. My 1999 civic was in Richmond Hill Ontario for it's first five years. Got a bit of rust on it unfortunately.
i stands for injection was new. Before it was carberators.
“She” found the right guy !👌🏼⛽️👊🏼
Awesome low mileage, well kept JDM cousin !
She’ll run FOREVER!
Thanks! I think she did.
Are these cars worth much?
No they’re not worth that much yet.
@derekdoeschannel looking at one for about 5k
@@BATTRA_3AM if it's nice that price is fine.
@@derekdoeschannel thank you!
Definitely miss that type of car
Someday smaller cars will come back.
I had the 89 that looked exactly like this one. Kick myself every now and then for selling it.
It's odd that these 80's cars have almost completely disappeared.
Agreed. It was the best vehicle that I ever owned. Great in snow. I just hope to find one again in my life to hopefully purchase.
You totally should! I found this one by accident and fell in love.
That thing would look sick lowered with some aftermarket wheels and a camber!!!
She’s pretty low right now as is. New vintage wheels for sure.
NO
Agreed @@herrgolf
back for more of this car, i need to get one of those
If you like it definitely look for one. They’re so fun to drive.
@@derekdoeschannel I would get one, the problem is that they are not that easy to get, at least in Mexico, and the ones that are for sale are in terrible condition's
