    Newbie from Asheville NC

    Hey folks just found this forum. Im not new to hondas have had several but just recently picked up my second accord and been lurking. This seems to be the friendliest and most knowledgeable site of all things CB7. Definitely looking to make this a clean low key project. Hoping for a very conservative turbo setup once I have everything else properly taken care of. First things on the agenda are finding some thinner wheels and tires. I can't stand the way these stick out. On a side note if anyone is looking for some xxr wheels in a 4x114.3 i would love to trade.

      Welcome to the site, you will find everything you need here. Good choice on looking for another set of wheels, I am pretty sure you can find something that fits 10 times better.

        Thats what Im hoping. Honestly I'm looking on some 240 forums cause these wheels would look awesome on a rwd car. Not so much on the accord haha. Hopefully i will find a halfway decent set of meshies or something similar for it.

            There are a couple more photos for yall. Tomorrow if its nice I will take some of the interior and whatnot. First thing I plan to do is clean the engine bay and repaint. It appears that the previous owner just sprayed the whole thing black and then sprayed the valve cover orange so definitely want to make a change there. You can see my RX8 in the bg of the last one.

              H23 swap? Bad ass! The wheels are a great design, but yeah it's too bad the dimensions are so wrong for the car. I'm liking the lip spoiler as well.

                  Did some minor tinkering this evening trying to clean up the bay a bit. Still needs some serious degreasing and it kills me seeing all the spray paint all over everything but its something im going have to deal with eventually haha.

                    Welcome love the wheel design maybe flares will make them look better. Also what was that part you removed on the right side of the bay?

                      Also picked up some unique fabric to make a shift boot. Im not really sure I like it or not but It looks classy and its very thick, about the same as the stock material, so I am going to try it and if I hate it i will find some other use. Thoughts? [IMG][IMG][/IMG][/IMG]

                        Carefully took apart the old boot trying not to damage the shape of the three pieces of cloth.

                        Traced the isht on the new mat.

                        The new boot. This is just pinned together for now because I don't have quick access to a sewing machine. Hopefully will be able to sew it up this weekend. Once sewn I will trim it all even and use a bronze cap.

                          The res was for the power steering which the car does not have anyway and the plastic thing is for the cruise control which wasn't hooked back up post swap. Thanks I love the wheels too and I thought the same thing. Im going to the junkyard in a couple weeks and was going to try to snag some mk1 jetta flares to try to keep the wheels. If not though I will get something with a more conservative width/offset.

                          Edit: I don't remember who but someone on here did the jetta flares and that car looked beast. I just dont want negative camber because I hate the way it looks.
