dasficktauf · 01-06-09, 02:53 PM

i love the cd5, and may be picking up a clean 97 5 speed sedan in the next few weeks.

just wanna know who knows specifics about these. i know they are (besides visually) very similar to the cb7 which i am more familiar with.

so i guess... i just want input, 97 accord 5 speed sedan. what do ya think?

One of my first cars was a 1996 coupe.

A good site to join is hondasociety.com. They have a VERY strong knowledgebase about the 94-97 accords, and they are friendly instead of the usual d.bag honda forum members.

I think I even have some parts in storage, I can see what I have if you're interested.

yeah i would love a coupe, and its starting to look like the 5 sped sedan i had my eye on may not work out. so maybe i'll search around for a coupe.

a few years back my buddy had a nice coupe with an h22 swap, i'm trying to track down that car currently, he says he thinks his buddy still has it.

wouldn't that be nice. haha

yeah what i'm looking for is a 94-97 ex 5 speed coupe. anyone else have one? or atleast know some things about them i may not?

btw, clean car, what happened to it?

After highschool, I spent six months in Stuttgart, Germany. I sold it prior to the trip, thinking that it wouldn't be a wise idea to bring it over there. I was wrong, as there are plenty of American's driving USDM spec vehicles on the autobahn.

They say you live and you learn. I still regret selling it. Well, except the shaved handles. I wish I wouldn't have done that.

HS.com is the place to be if you're looking into the 5th gen. There are guys over there with more knowledge then most honda engineers

My mom has a 97 EX Sedan. She's had it for like 7 years without any major problems. My aunt has a 94 EX Coupe. She's had her's for awhile too without any major problems. They are really good cars.

I got a 97EX sedan and have owned it for about 7 months now. Aside from an oil seal leak (which I'll be fixing this weekend). the car has been great. My only regret is that I wasn't patient enough to continue looking for a 5 spd.I was looking for one for almost 5 months then just settled on an automatic.Great economical car, you'll love it.

thanks for all the positive comments guys. i've actually found a few decently priced 5 speed ex coupes in my area.

and thanks for the link to the other forum.. a lot of great info over there.
