Welcome! Your car looks similar to my first car! I used to have an 89 Accord DX. Long gone though.

I also plan on having my 99 EX (d16y boosted by the end of July. All I need is an upgraded clutch, manifold, gauges, and oil lines.

lol, you should realy try and get that Mitsu sign off the IC. I can't tell you how hard i would laugh if I saw your 88 Accord with an IC with the Mitsu sign on it.

Was the mitsu sign painted on their originally? If so, I would say take some paint stripper.. like the ones in the aerosol cans (wear gloves at least when using it... it'll make your skin feel like it is burning if it touches you), and completely remove all the paint and re-paint it black.

You can still see the mitsu. sign there, but only if you stop and look, people driving by won't notice it I bet.
