First off a little about me. I got into cars years ago (1999) when I found and fixed up my first car. A 1951 plymouth cranbrook. My true passion is old school hotrods. Anything before 1965. I then, got into practical cars. I always liked hondas , had a mint 1994 EG hatch all stock. As well as a 1997 Ek hatch that i absolutely loved. But for some reason sold them and got into the VW scene. Which, (up until a few weeks ago) have been heavily involved in since around 2005. Most of my friends drive volkswagens and i do love them and the scene still. But I did grow tired of all the copy cats and hate. Not everyone can afford BBS rs frick'in 9 piece wheels lol. I was tired of the repairs, the expense of owning a euro car, and just everything in general. I wanted something different and oldschool. Something clean and has a ton of potential and something nobody in my area is currently driving or modifying as far as that goes. Obviously it wasnt long until I remembered about a car I had seen years ago and thought how cool that was. So long story short, I bought a basically mint CB7. Lots of history belonging to this car, started life actually as a honda reps car back in california! lived most of its life in the south. Its exactly what I was looking for. So for now I'm just learning everything I can and keeping it clean (worked as a detailer for years) Here she is.
Oh yeah, duh. Its a 1990 ex 5-speed, 201,000 miles, been super well taken care of. Honda tech owned since 1994, now me
timing belt and water pump done at 180k, just did thermostat, newer axles, newer stock exhaust. Plans are to add some decent wheels, a nice suspension, and some more power. Remember, I come from the VW world and honestly I'm not into all that flashy stuff anyway. I personally think when you start adding things like body kits, crazy spoilers, and things like that you ruin the soul of the car. But I also dont hate on others for their own personally tastes. I love this car, and plan on keeping it forever. I would love to own a nice heated garage to keep her in but not yet at this point. Honestly I feel like this car belongs in a museum lol.
I have since this pic ^^^^^ restored the black plastic. use a heat gun and you will be amazed at the results, then just use a little peanut oil over that. Like I said, Ive been detailing cars for well over a decade now. Please leave feedback and any of your thoughts are welcome. I want to right off add a full exhaust, projector headlights with HID's, laminex the fogs yellow, i like the red and clear tails, what front lip to get? idk, im new lol. I'm learning and am very excited to start my journey in the CB7 world! thanks!!!
