I had one in high school, those stupid carbs were way down on the back of the motor and were a pain to work on. With a cam it went okay, but not like a D and 10lbs.

i currently own and drive an 86 accord lxi with fuel injection. when i first caught wind of the car for 500 bucks, i thought cool, something i can beat around in over the winter so i can finally boost the hatch. didnt think about it being carb'd and i started to get terrified. then found out it was a lxi and was relieved.
