Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    New member, wanting to share my car

    Hello everyone, i just joined today and wanted to say hello and give yall a look at my car. I have a 1992 Honda Accord LX automatic. Its not quite as decked out as some ive seen but i love the heck out of it. My car before was an old blazer, and i was worried about the change to a honda, but this car is just so fun to drive. I painted the rims with plasti-dip, except for one cause i got lazy. I have a lot of plans for it in the future, when i get it running again at least. Ill get some more pics when i do fix it, which should be just a few days from now.

      well, i have to replace the thermostat on thursday so i cAn drive it lol. But i plan on painting that other rim. Then i'm working on replacing the exhaust manifold and the air intake. Im not the most mechanically savvy person out there, but im pretty good at figuring stuff out, and ive gotten used to changing out parts on it.

      Back in january my alternator, battery, exhaust manifold, and thermostat all went in the same morning, been trying to recover from that.

        Well, you came to the right place.

        As for the thermostat, I recommend an OE temp not an alternate. Be sure to change the rubber gasket/o-ring. Also, with these cars you cannot simply add coolant. There is a 12mm bleeder valve on top of the thermostat housing, open it a turn or turn and a half after completing the thermostat change and before replacing lost coolant. Start adding coolant and watch the nipple on that valve, once it starts running solid coolant from it and is done spitting the air out, close it and then finish filling the radiator.

        What happened to your exhaust manifold?

          thanks for the thermostat tips!

          The manifold had a small crack in it, then on that morning i noticed it was quite a large crack and it was leaking and making steam. i patched it and its doing good for now, but i want it replaced.

            For sure. Cast manifolds cracking are not all that uncommon. Especially the 4-1 F22A1 exhaust manifold.

                    I hear ya. You can find another F22A1 exhaust manifold pretty easily. Or, you could weld your current one up and it would be just as good. As long as it doesn't leak your in business.

                      Yeah I patched it for now but it'll probably just crack again in the future. I also need a head gasket for it but that's so expensive I haven't been able to get it done
