Hy's 1993 Honda Accord SE Celebrates 30 Years and 132,000 Miles

I met up with my friend Hy for a celebration of 30 years since his 1993 Accord was manufactured in April of that year. Congrats!

[@victorblock3421]

I swear, Honda's look better as they age. May Hy enjoy this beautiful machine for many years to come.

[@TysonHugie]

Exactly!

[@keep_it_low_bro]

With mileage that low in that particular year model, I can see an extra 30 yrs of life in that Accord.

​@@TysonHugie Honda Accord and Subaru Legacy of those year 1990-1993 were/are of "Japanese ingenuity Engineering and Manufacturing"... 💘 💘 I will share you my Happy and Sad Stories of our Subaru Legacy Model L ... 1992. It has only 93k miles or 148,000 km on the Odometer; inside the Chamber it is like this Honda Accord in term of little scratches and the Cushion/Bench Seat in the back still look like new. Underneath the Hood, the Cleanliness like this Honda 1993 SE. 3 Features stood out in this Legacy was: 1/ that the Original Timing-Belt was changed only in 2019 at 140k km; and the Subaru Tech Lady who provided Services/ Sold Parts for us/me was born 1993; so at the time when we bought the Timing-Belt and Thermostat = *she said OMG the Timing-Belt is older than me* . 😂😂 2/ The Legacy designed so that you never left the Head-lights or Lights on = as when you took out the Key from the Ignition Slot; all light shut off by itself. 3/ AWD or Ready AWD Symmetrical that Honda Accord or Toyoda Camry those years did not have = Winter Driving where I live and drove up north to Alaska Highway... I still have the Original Winter Tires and Rims Made by Subaru Rims and Bridgestone Tires since 1994! And bought some Parts like Column Steering/Control (assembly that including Levels of Signal Lights and Windshield Wiper as well the Cruise Control ─ Bought Brand New as Spare Parts.) And Black Bra on the Fender is brand new, never put on the Car; We/I also bought a spare of Maroon Mirror Painted instead of Black and intended to have the Car repainted by my friend Mechanics Shop; and many Brand New Parts for the Model 1992 since the Dealer that I knew they went to Bankruptcy in 1996; so we/I got so many spare Brand New Parts for Restorations. The Worst New! Sad is the Car was stolen in late May 2023; and the Police could not do anything about the case! So mad! We only spent $2K last in 2019 on changing Original Timing-Belt, Thermostat and Water Pump = since it cost extra only $500, so, we had they done so everything around the Timing-Belt would be like new and would help keep the Engine in best shape. The car was trouble Free for us since 1992 from Japan to the day we lost the Car; except that we had to replace the Alternator because here, winter like Minus 40°F/C during Last Week of Jan and 1st week of February. It is very hard on the Electrical Wires. *We/I saw a a Subaru Legacy Model Lsi. 1992 was auctioned in Australia for 22k AUD$* - which had only 45 thousand original Miles on the Odometer. My plan of converting our Subaru Legacy 1992 Model was not materialized... That is all; and Cheers to those Classics Made in Japan JH/ JF and JT serial Number.

This looks so much better than the current model.

[@mailmanjoe]

My Grandma and Grandad bought this exact model when it was brand new. Paid cash for it so they owned it outright the day it left the lot. Had all the options added to it. Spoiler, fog lights, alarm system, cd changer. I absolutely fell in love with it when I was only 3 or 4 years old. My dad was a Honda mechanic so they got a few deals on the options too. 😊On this video hearing that good ole F22A6 engine wind up was like music to my ears.

IMO the 90-93 Accord is one of the best car ever made! They truly do run forever if you take care of them!

[@TysonHugie]

Agreed!

[@hughmcintosh1246]

My heart is full. I was one of those persons who commented when you posted this vehicle, I believe for the first time, back in 2018 and was wowed by its originality and how immaculate it was and still is. That video is a dopamine hit for me and I go back and watch it every chance I get, so for you to give us an update 5 years later is a reward for us who fell in love with this vehicle. I hope Hy is good. I can't believe cd changers and Bose speakers were all the way from those days.

[@TysonHugie]

Hy is doing great! And thanks for checking out the video

[@navarredr]

I owned a 93 LX in the light/emerald green. It was my 2nd of 3 Accords so far. I miss it much. I'm guessing this car is long sold, but I would be tempted to buy it today. Cheers!

I bought a 1993 Anniversary Edition in August of 1993. Car was totaled in the spring of 1998. I replaced it with a 1993 SE like the car in the video. Still have the car. It now has 354,000 miles on the odometer. The Texas heat, sun and lack of wax has taken its toll on the body. The car has some issues but it’s still going.

[@TysonHugie]

Glad you're still rocking and rolling, Dale!

[@gilbertr5590]

that thing is perfect , thanks for sharing this video , i have a 91 SE with 85,000 miles it is quite nice , maybe i should make a video of it

[@jamiedriscoll9781]

I put 451,000 on my 99 Accord. Easily could have continued but I wanted my 2017 energy green pearl civic coup. Which currently stands at 198,996 and counting. 😊😊

[@TysonHugie]

Awesome rides!

[@AndrewM83]

Pretty sweet!

[@TysonHugie]

Agreed!

[@zacmich6472]

What do you use to clean those engine bays to such sparkling cleanliness and not damage the electronics? 😳

[@DrivingHy]

Depends on how dirty the engine is. Avoid garden hoses and high pressure washers. Try a product like "Oil Eater" to dissolve and wipe away grease. Use old rags that u can toss out to wipe it down Next use a large 32 oz spray bottle with water and add about 10 oz alcohol. Liberally spray down the engine to remove the degreaser. It may take several bottles of water to do this. After you wipe it down, use a preservative spray that restores flexibility to the rubber and plastic parts. Avoid getting it on the belts. I like 303 Aerospace protection for this. Wipe it down with old microfiber rags that u won't use again. Once you do all this maintaining it is much easier. Good luck, hope this helps...

[@TysonHugie]

Great feedback from Hy here!

[@zacmich6472]

I have a 1993 Honda Accord LX Auto. It has a lot of rust damage. Mine is near 230,000 miles. I never figured out the huge TCU issue. It still has a blinking D4. Even though I changed some sensors and solenoids. And some TCUs.

[@cameronlovesevolve]

Pausing on the log book - does this guy live above a mechanic shop or something?! It was like every 300 Miles something was serviced 😂 I mean .. we love to see it. Im interested to know more how the car has been used! Is it a primary car? Looks great today but what a treat it would have been in 1993 to pick out the SE model and have it parked in your space for occasional use... it was unique then and its only getting cooler as the days march forward.

[@TysonHugie]

Definitely, that could be an entire follow-up video. I know that Hy is a believer is fastidious maintenance and sometimes that means changing oil at 300 miles because it's due for time.

[@alphabeta8403]

These and the Vigors and the Legends 👌 Acura needs to axe the TLX and bring back ‘Legend’ with longer wheelbase and more cabin space.

[@TysonHugie]

Perfect idea

I had a 1993 Honda Accord LX back in the day that I eventually sold because I thought I wanted something more "sporty" but on further thought I wish I held on to it. That car gave me 12yrs of near trouble-free transportation and it had barely 120,000 miles on the odometer. Oh well, you live and learn. #HONDA❤

[@TysonHugie]

Thanks for sharing that!

[@gsquat]

Driving a clean 92 EX. Hope to see this driving through the valley some day.

[@TysonHugie]

Awesome

[@Zecrid.]

Not only is this a wonderful example of how beautifully preserved this 4th gen accord is, but also the fact it has over 130K means the owner actually drives it instead of sticking in a meat locker with 20K miles. I wish we all could take care of cars like this, to preserve them for decades while also using them even if it's "just an Accord". Also this video helped me figure out my Vigor was built in September of 1993 so that's cool. I now know when to celebrate my car's 30th birthday, thanks Hugie.

@@TysonHugie Thank you! I googled 10th anniversary, several more color matched. Mines a DX so think it will class it up painting the trim and bumpers.

That car adjusted for inflation would cost $47,150. A new Accord EX (which is a step higher than an SE) is over $29,100...Like the saying goes, they really don't make them like they used to.

[@TysonHugie]

That’s for sure!

[@DrivingHy]

Actually '93 was the final year Honda sold the Accord SE as it's top line model above the EX. In later years the SE was marketed as a value model below the EX and above the LX... Today the SE would be equivalent to the Touring edition.

Absolutely stunning! Makes me happy to see owners out there take care of things so well. Neat thing is it's also a window into their personality. I remember when the 4th Gen Accord came out in 1990. I was I'm 7th grade. I didn't like the looks of it at first but it quickly grew on me. We had a 1986 Accord. The 4th Gen was a pretty large step forward in refinement. I always loved how shiny those wheels were when new.

What I like about the '93 compared to the new Accords. - Vinyl headliner - Rear door courtesy lights - The user-friendly layout of the dash controls - Less electronics (less stuff to prematurely brake) - Replaceable headunit for aftermarket I had both 93 and 2018. I still miss my 1993 more than my 2018.
