Default My new project CB7

I picked this up from my cousin recently..He owned the car since it was new when he was in high school...Back in 1992, she used to be fixed up a lil...16 inch Milano Mesh wheels, Neuspeed race springs, Sebring exhaust, and citylights...LOL..Now in 2004, shes is just bone stock with 200,000 miles....I picked her up for about as much as some used rotas with tires would cost....I plan to revive her back to clean status..New paint, suspension, wheels, H22 are in the works! I'm really into this car, even more than my bimmer becuase i have always loved the clean lines of the CB body accord and the fact that there arent many clean ones around anymore...

Back in 1992:

I used to want a 93 Accord 4 door in black so bad back in the day, when I was 15 and worked at McDonald's, I remember a few came through in that combo with 5 speeds, , and I would be like... if you want to sell that car in a year come up here and look for me. hahah

Yeah, she'll be converted to manual...

Thanks for the props guys...This accord project to me has more of a sentimental tone...See, my cousin got this car a year b4 i got my first car...So i always thought it was so clean back then...Me and him used to roll in this thing back in the day thinkin we were all hard...hahaha. It still runs pretty good, no frame damage or even a single creak..And it still has the factory mats....Not bad for a $600 car huh?

I loved it too and in the bay area there were only 2 CB7's that were fixxed up right IMO and they were both maroon and both sitting on RS Beta's.

&lt;3 your new project. I have access to get one for next to nothing too but don't know **** about the auto to manual + H22 swap.

good luck! I know it will come out bad *** like your white DA.

Welcome to the family. check out http://www.cb7tuner.com , lots of helpful stuff there for you. Any questions, feel free to email me or pm me.

Here is mine, with GC coilovers, koni yellow, auto to manual swap with H22, Legend brakes in the front and drum to disc conversion in the rear, and lots more. The car now rides on stock wheels and is a big time sleeper.

My favorite year accord, ever.
A couple weeks ago I finished an h22 swap(reusing f22 tranny) into a '93 and was really impressed with how quick it was. It would make such a sweet daily driver. And if you choose to use the f22 tranny, all you need is the h22 motor and ecu. That's only like a thousand bucks!!
Made seriously think about getting one.

Plus so many kick *** jdm wheels(with kick *** offsets) come in 4X114.
