I just picked up my new (well, new to me) 3rd gen Aerodeck and I'm loving it. It's a 1988 EXi with 4W-ALB, the A20A4 engine (which sounds beautiful), sunroof, electric windows, cruise control and of course, it's a manual too! I've got many plans for it, but I'm mainly keeping it factory as it's in mint condition! Pics from the eBay listing.    Pics from tonight now I've collected it. I'll take some more in the daytime.          I've already started playing with it. Got some nice speakers in the rear, waiting for the speakers to arrive to go in the front, got my stereo in, and I've done a short ram air intake as the original intake is about 4 foot long! :shock:        Before:  After:  Oh, and it has this sticker on the driver's side wing on the top!!!! :shock:  |

I love these had a white e reg £50 special years ago, it was great fun. Looks to be a tidy motor.

I'm the handsome fella with the cheesy white specs or is that the cheesy fella with the handsome white specs?

Cheers, yea, I'm absolutely loving it. It drives superbly, but could really use a bit of lowering to help it out that bit more!
It is a very tidy motor, been very well cared for it's whole life.

I have had two of these, same age and colour. One auto and the other manual, both carburettored. Loved them both. Always fancied a nice EXi, but the right one never presented itself, maybe one day. The manual 'deck had some generic 17x7's on it with cheap lo-pro tyres, the handling was awful with dead, lifeless steering and a harsh crashy ride. I put some narrower 16's on and it was transformed. I didn't lower mine, but they do respond well to a moderate drop, 35mm or so, but you will need to rotate the tyres periodically coz they wear on the inside edge. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I did mine.

I'm only going to go up to 15"s on mine, and I know exactly what ones I wanna get. Just gotta get a job sorted out (got back from living in the states on the 5th so trying to get a job sorted again now) and then I can see about sorting out the wheels.
Want to start work on designing and building the trunk install for it too at some point.

Oh I will do. It's wonderful so far! As with all Hondas, the horn is a bit weedy, so I thought I'd uprate it with a bit more power!    |

Lasted before like that. I need them on the other side of the rad though as it acts as an amazing sound deadener  |

you can't beat a honda factory air intake, i'd ditch that air filter set up you've installed.
