Ok we'll I'm working in San Jo right now at the convention center ill hit you up

You got my number bro.

i love lookin at these frost white cb's! yours is a looker to! i think im going to do red clears in the future

Thank you very much sir. Red and clears are a better alternative to the factory tails. Altezzas disgust me, all clears are illegal even with red bulbs. I should mount my JDM tails, but only plan to on occasion, like CAM and Chronicles.

Damn bro that CF hood looks great, i would just leave it the color it is. You CB keeps getting better and better.

Thanks bro, the camera hides a lot of the imperfections. The gaps aren't perfect but since the hood is dark you can't really tell. They would be too obvious if I were to color match. A re-clear is definitely in order.

Some of us NorCal CB owners had a little photo shoot in the middle of nowhere, Manteca Ca. 408cb7, Hostile, Faqncb7, & myself were the only CB7Tuner members that participated. I'm glad I had the chance to take the last pics of Hostile's cb9 before he sold it.



I also put some work into my intake manifold set up today. I massaged the plenum myself to match the Skunk II 68mm throttle body. The openings leading into the IAB's have also been matched to a Blacktraxx spacer. With the 68mm TB I'm hoping that I won't need the IAB's at all. I'll take pictures tomorrow of my progress being that I ran out of daylight.

Upper plenum matched to 68mm Skunk II throttle body

edit: So you can see the amount of material that I removed, I added a pic.



Plenum also matched to the blacktraxx spacer.



Also got some work done on the lower but still have plenty to do. I am still on the fence about de-burring the outside to polish it up to make it look purdy.

Looks good Carlos. I didnt know that the Spacer and plenum were different diameters.

Love this car...white overlay would look sick and give it a new level of class. Deburring and polishing sounds good too( send it to get it neo chromed)

Looks good Carlos. I didnt know that the Spacer and plenum were different diameters.

The blacktraxx spacer is actually more precise than the OEM Honda casting. The holes on the plenum and runners are a little bit smaller and irregular. I simply just opened them up and matched them to the spacer. It was a significant amou of material. I'll check my pictures to see if I have a before shot outlining the difference.

My engine bay already has a couple off color characteristics a that I want to maintain. If I polish it out it will go well with my DC strut tower bar and a few other accents I already have going on. Neo-chrome won't really go with anything at the moment. Maybe ceramic coat it to look like those Edelbrock intake manifolds that look chrome?

[DjM_coupe]

That would look good

How's it going everyone? Well here's some more updates. I finally got around to wiring up my JDM side markers. Canabalized and modified some Integra harness' to make it look OEM. Solder and heat shrink were my friends for solid connections.





Ran the wires up against the inner fender. Almost looks like a factory install.







And for that teaser



Here's a few elementary photoshop edited pics I took a little while back. First time really editing photos and it's noticeable in some places but none the less here they are









I'll take any photoshop tips by the way. Just a heads up Adobe is no longer updating the support for Photoshop CS2. It's available as a free download on their site. It's still full of strong editing tools. If anyone's interested you should download it.

Great work tho.

[SanJoCaF22DrAcc]

Great work tho.

Thanks tho. Actually thanks for your help on finding some donor harness's. It wasn't too difficult modifying them to suit this application. $12 wasn't a bad price to pay for some OE connectors.

Update: So my 3" AEM CAI is on it's way. Even though it has taken forever to the seller to ship, I'm not upset at all. The timing if it is actually perfect because the IM is ready to go on. It's due to arrive on Friday and that should give me plenty of time to get things in order.

The weather was warm out here in the Bay Area today. Surely enough my main relay was acting up like clockwork. Enough was enough and it was time to install the new one that had been sitting in my glove compartment for as long as I can remember. I had come across this link earlier in the week that clearly walked through the task at hand. http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=53888 Car fired right up for the rest of the day. I should of done this a long time ago

I picked up a very nice Personal polished shift knob to go with the steering I bought from Ronald Type-R.





Intending for it to compliment the steering wheel and wanting to add that custom touch, some modification was in the plans even before i bought this nice piece. Thanks once again to my good friend mitsubishiv5 for all his help. The shift knob went immediately for powder coating the same day it came it. Can't complain about the next day turn around. Only issue that arose was that it didn't take much to fill in the "Personal" logo that was engraved in it so I took a hobby knife to one of the decals that came with the knob and made that work.





more updates soon to follow.

Shout out to my boy Hector aka 408CB7. I took this pic on the way back from a photo shoot we went to out in Manteca CA. Taken with my cell phone because I had some camera issues going on that weekend unfortunately. I think it's still a great pic. The camera I was using to take pics that day wasn't mine and the memory card was already maxed out which cut our photo shoot short.

[408cb7]

Thanks for the shout out carlos, the pic looks great specially your car.

I love that shift knob defenetly puts that personal touch.

[Hostile]

The knob and wheel look great. They really compliment each other.
