Welcome to my channel Azian Garage, I'm a musician and a gearhead and this is where I will be sharing my knowledge and experiences mostly focused around my 1988 and 1987 Honda Accords as well as my 1996 Ej8 Honda Civic, 1991 Acura Integra DA9, and maybe more. How-to's, build updates, car shows, racing events and more will be featured here at the Azian Garage. For more builds and race videos, be sure to sure to check out, like, and subscribe to my teams channel listed in the links below. Team 928 Ftw!

Another solid video, Sir. Just straight to the point with everything! We specifically produce LEDs for auto. Can we invite you to do a review for our product? How can we connect with you?
I picked up some rims I love and realized after test fitting the zero offset really stuck out. I hate the look unless there’s a wide body kit or fender flares like you did. If you don’t mind letting me know offset and size of your rims to give me an idea. Also did you have to cut fenders at all. Thank you so much.
Hello love your videos and the dash light video really helped me a lot but I do have quick question by any chance do you know if tail lights, trim, panels, hood, bumpers, etc from a 89 accord lxi fit on a 88 accord lxi my 88 the 89 is literally a diamond mine and only reason why I want my 88 is because I already did a good amount of work on it lol
As long as it's for the same model (hatch, sedan, coupe, aerodeck) it should work. To my knowledge everything from fenders forward is all interchangeable no matter what model. The only difference would be 86-87 pre facelift bumpers but it will still bolt onto the 88-89 chassis and vice-versa.
The Suspension Techniques sway bars no longer available for years now. The part that does wear-out is the heim joint to rear trailing arm. I got new ones from KW Automotive (they sold the ST stuff and still do). After jumping through hoops, your part number lead to the heim joint part for the rear bar, The number is....112242 Spherical Bearing 3/8" 24 female with Teflon. I can't thank you enough for having the part number here. Once I gave them that number, then we finally got somewhere! Now I also wonder if I didn't find the part number for the sway bars at the 3Geez site. Thanks! Yes I did find it in the video! Part No. for sway bars kit #52130!
Thing as I don’t understand is why don’t people just get the air ducts for that model - piece that you bought and then get a saw cut them in half the tubes and then graph your tube onto the new tube so you need to measure from the part you cut and then you grab those two pieces. It’s actually making into one part part that’s custom
Hey bossman! I know this is outside of the topic of the video, but i've been wondering about the suspension on the 88 accord. I have a 1988 ca5 accord and im currently stuck trying to find coilovers for it. I live in finland so ordering actual ca5 coilovers are SUPER expensive. Do you know if other hondas coilovers will work on the ca5? Sorry for the wall of text and lack of grammar. Keep up the good content!
Thank you for checking out my channel and don't worry about the grammer, your English is better than my Finnish. I usually don't recommend any other suspension for the CA5 due to how unique the suspension is. What are attempting to do? Lower the car?
96-00 Civic rears will lower the back quite a bit, for the fronts I recommend using the Accord top hats and forks due the civic forks being taller which will raise the front, the civic shock body is slightly wider than the Accord so some modification may be needed to slip them in the Accord forks. I don't know how low the front will go with stock Civic springs/shocks. I know you said you are just having fun with the car so don't expect this setup to ride comfortably and or last long. I hope this helps!
Anything to modernize these old platforms to make them stay on the roads ,affordability and ease of parts is a must ❤ the content, definitely gonna do this to my 3 gee accords now
Hey I don't know if you still have that Honda Accord but I have a 1989 and I need to change the clutch and have no mechanic skills at all need help be great if you could help
It might be a little late for a comment but why not. I got my weber swap running before i found this video (this couldve saved me some time). Though now my engine gets very hot and thought about looping the coolant hoses to the thermostat housing. Would i recon this to work?
Great tips! Engine oil used to work okay in some manual transmissions, but it doesn't work well anymore because modern engine oils have gotten so slippery that they will keep the synchros from grabbing well, preventing smooth shifts. It won't damage anything in the short term and it's fine to use in an emergency if it's low and the proper fluid isn't available, but I wouldn't use it intentionally because it isn't really compatible anymore.
Thank you everything youve posted and for continuing to post content! I recently got an old accord from this same era, and your videos have helped me a ton. I definitely owe you a beer.
Dude would you possibly be able to give me some advice regarding switching parts from MK2 Honda preludes. It's been off the road for years and I'm trying to bring her back. I'd even pay. Thanks bro
You should have said something about the gasket sealer and how many other bolts you have to take off to get to the waterpump like the 3 part shield that go's over the timing belt.
Using 99-00 original radio bezel lets you use a double din 7" radio rather than 9". I myself prefer 7" double din radio as they give better sound quality than the new off brand 9" china radios.
not sure if you still reply, but, what did you do for your weber swap, how the throttle cable doesnt pull fully or how the TV cable hooks up to it. I am having issues with the TV cable with mine. In your video you said youd send some resources on it, but i didnt see much in the desc for it.
glad to see someone still making 3rd gen content, i recently got my 88 accord couple months ago and already hooked it up with wheels and coils and lips and music, i live the hell out the car
I know this is an old video, but I believe it's your latest video talking about the 3rd gen Accord. Would you have any pointers for why my 88 LXi begins to misfire at idle after reaching operating temperature? I've replaced my cap + rotor, main ignition coil, and a new battery. Accelerates and drives just fine, only hiccups and starts misfiring when I come to a stop. I'm kinda lost 😅
hey brother. i have a 1991 acura integra gs. my car was turned on but it just turned off while it was idling , now when i try to turn on my car it just cranks. what does this mean?
Hell yeah! A new upload! Excellent info. Just an FYI to everyone, the front brake calipers on an Intehra Type R aren't unique to just that model. They are a parts bin caliper. Shared with the CL, Accord wagons, 5th Gen Prelude, and Odyssey. There actually arent too many ITR-specific mechanical parts. Its a hodge-podge of random H/A models. I understand its easier to just call them ITR calipers though.
i have a 1998 Honda Prelude h22a4 5 speed manual I just wanna know what's A way I can tune it. its my first car and all I have are the basic bolt ons. I'm not looking to make boost just yet I just want to tune it to get the most out of it be able to go E85 and have a little more fun. this tuning stuff is a bit confusing to me. if you can point me in the right direction that would be amazing. can i just buy a ecu thats ready to go or how does it work from what im reading i need to go OBD 1.
In your experience, where on the clutch pedal travel should the bite, or engagement, point, be? How should one go about with a high bite point, given the clutch cable is adjusted on the transmission release side & clutch grabs good? Thanks.
