KW3gLuderInaCB7 : 1993 Accord EX

[KW3gLuderInaCB7]

I recently bought a 2nd CB7 off a fellow member in my town, She used to be a bit overdone with the import-tuner look and i did a bit of "de-ricing" lol. I took off the shopping cart wing and the excessive stickers and removed the yellow vinyl effects but left the black on and it looks alot better. I bought it to replace my black 1990 LX coupe with 315K miles on its original motor & failing tranny with 2nd & 3rd gear mostly gone. The 93's tranny and clutch shifts like butter and the Motegi 17's, sunroof & 4-wheel disc brakes were the icing on the cake so i had to buy her... Unfortunately 5 days after i bought her the F22A6 lost one of her cylinders out of nowhere. I did a compression test on the dead #2 cyl and was heartbroken to see about 10psi, so she sat for the past 2 months although she still ran on 3 and ive been back to driving ol' black reliable (although 2nd gear is now non-existent on the '90, the motor still runs amazing for having 315K). Im sure the problem is just a burnt, broken or failing to close exhaust valve but instead of fixing the F22a6 i decided to do what ive always wanted to do and go for an H-swap. I was going to save up for an H22A but my funds are somewhat limited. I found a JDM h23A non-vtec (yes, a non-vtec obd1 JDM H23A, not an H23A1 although it's the exact same thing, and not a VTEC H23A blue top. This particular engine came in the Honda Ascot Innova) locally for dirt cheap ($200) and i finally grabbed it the other day and my 93 is finally getting her new engine. The h23 swap will also be cheaper and easier in the sense that a p14 is cheaper than a p13 and I wont need a new header or have to run any VTEC wiring. And my A6 has the extra runners already and has an external coil dizzy. (all i need to buy still is a dizzy for the h23, my existing coil will work, and i need a p14)

Good Start, I dont like the hood scoop but with some OEM Fogs in there and at least JL Grille (G-Square replica) will make the car look more aggressive.

Yeah I'm still unsure about the hood scoop myself, It came on the car... it's still a work in progress but to give you an idea of what i was dealing with here's what the car used to look like when the previous owner had it:
He had the car for years and he eventually changed it up to an RSX wing on a 9293 sedan trunk (which he kept), put the new mugen lip on, etc before he ended up selling me the car, I wasnt a big fan of some of the styling choices but to each their own.
