My 93 CB7... the beginning!

[wildBill83]

Thank you buzz11! It is a FL car, she was always serviced at a Honda dealership in Orlando... when my wife bought her (in 2005) even the battery was Honda! She is in good condition but, A/C is out of service and the auto tranny is almost gone, it is not slipping but I've only got either 2nd and 4th, or 1st and 3rd, it depends on how she is feeling that day!

Tranny is not bad, your TCU is! Pull it out and open her up, I'll bet you have a few fried electronics on board. If the damage is beyond the two resistors and the electrolytic capacitors, just get a re-manufactured TCU because diagnosing the circuits gets cumbersome fast unless your an electronics technician.

I am thinking of either a pearl white paint job or a black matte wrap... what do you think?

I'm all for stock colors, too bad the green is rare, maybe you have a house of colors that can color match? I am on the hunt for someone to do my Champagne Tan in stock color.

Thank you wildbill83, that's what I thought was the problem, but since I am doing the swap I didn't worry about it to much.

Smart man to cut out the computer, manual transmissions are more reliable and less technical and if you break them it is your fault, not a faulty computer, so a big plus in my book.

Are you going to drill your tranny mount or get a new one welded on? Keep us in the loop on how it goes!

I am a little obscured on the rear mount issue... the engine that I am going to buy have even the rear mount. It is a JDM H22A 92-96. I do have a F22 manual tranny too, and I've got the manual mount for that. I read something about the manual mount being 12-1/4" and the auto one is 13-3/4" What's the deal with that!?

Wild, I've seen way more Arcadia green Accords than any other color. But I think your Champagne tan is one of the most uncommon colors other than red(not burgandy) and black, respertively.

I love the 4dr AG accords

Hey wildbill83 the color of your CB is called Cashmere Silver Metallic if I am not mistaken. You can find touch up paint here http://www.automotivetouchup.com/cho...a&model=Accord

This is her without any customization.

Nice ride! Welcome to the forum from another newcomer! Can you tell me more about lowering your CB7? Cost? Difficulty? What did you learn? Any advice for me in lowering mine? Thanks

[Apexbender]

Yes man no problem... The first thing you should do is look up in the suspension section on parts and performance threads. There is so many setups you could go with depending on what kind of driving you will be doing (drag, solo, time attack, etc...) and the size of your figurative wallet (if you have monies or not or on a budget). Do your research, you'll be glad you did. Reading the post will give you a very good idea on what setup you will need, and a very good sense of what not to do (like cutting or torching your springs). I hope this information is as useful as it has been to me. If you haven't, read the Forum Rules, that's a good start. PEACE!

mikedprice, your cb is clean... definitely could use a few inches less on those wheel well gaps, I like that color too.

Yes, I am buying an H23A VTEC and an H22 tranny...
Here is a thread that I started in the beginner section (I'm under 30 post)

You will love that motor. I have one in my CB7 now.

[Apexbender]

Do you have the H23/H22 setup? Did you do it yourself? Where did you buy it?

I have an H23A Blue Top in mine now. Got it from Tiger Japanese but I would recommend purchasing either from a local company to you or HMO. I did do the install with another friend. Was very straight forward. Retained most of my F series stuff like the tranny and axles.

Wow, that is immaculate. It's only 99% stock....it already has amber corners.

no kidding!
super nice man what plans you got for it?
