jaca : 1993 Accord 2.0i

[jaca]

Car:
Stock 1993 Honda Accord 2.0i (CB3)
I bought it in February 2014. Except the wheels, it's all stock. It is pure EUDM version, originally bought in Poznan, Poland in Official Polish Honda Dealership Network (which was not so easy in Poland in 1993). I am third owner since 1993. First one was a professor from university. He had it for 7 years. Second one was an older guy from who I bought it. He was "doubling" the value of this car every two years just by servicing it When he was selling it, he asked me to send him some picutres of the car at least twice a year!

Plans? Right now waiting for ISC coilovers to be shipped from the USA.
Also looking for legend coupe lip. It's almost impossible to get it in Poland. Considering buying it from anywhere

My God that is beautiful! The wheels are spot on!, will look so amazing after you lower it. And those Round OEM fogs! Excellent start!!

Your English is very good too. Welcome to Members Ride Section. I spend a lot time in here. I like to see what people are doing to better improve on this wonderful chassis.

Good work keep it up

[Jarrett]

I'm glad you finally made a members' ride thread. This car is an amazing example of how impressive these cars are with just simply taking care of them.

Keep up the good work and let us know when you have updates.

Very nice car you got there!

[SPLCB7]

Ummm cb3 looks good man!

Thanks to all of you guys for good words Especially to you Jarret for answering so many questions in my previous topic! It helped me a lot!

Here are some photos from June 2014 rims fitment. It was hard decision to pick between 7,5" vs 8,5", but I decided to keep the wheels straight rather than having it set to negative angles to hide the upper edge of the rim inside fender (law requirement in Poland). So finally it's 7,5" wide and standing out just a little bit

What a beautiful color. Plus euro fogs are always nice to see.

Polish on my mom's side (Lewandowski) wish I could speak it

This car is full of so much win! Amazing car sir! So many little things I would love to get off a junker from there. Like the license plate/taillight of the EDM is different from any/all the USDM deck lids.

What a beautiful piece of work! I love the color combination and your excellent wheel choice.

Like the license plate/taillight of the EDM is different from any/all the USDM deck lids.

on the 92-93s they have a removable "garnish" piece that allows for a longer license plate to sit. the taillights/trunk remain the same. i have the garnish on my car.

Wow That's great!
Don't be so about your polish It's hard even for Polish people to speak properly in their language! Ask your mom about it - she'll tell you Send her best regards

frohawker, thank you
And as tommi said - I also believe it's almost the same -the plastic between the lights is different to fit licence plates, but the shape of taillights is the same. The construction and bulbs placement might be a little bit different because of law restrictions about rear fog light in Poland/Europe.

What a beautiful piece of work! I love the color combination and your excellent wheel choice.

cp[mike] - when I was buying it - I wasn't convinced about the color. It looked like an old grandpa's color Is very hard to find it on any Accord - 4th gen Preludes were painted "Brittany Green". Right now it looks like it's the only one in this color in Poland
However with new wheel - it looks much better. Thanks!



AAAAAAND FINALLY, AT LAST!!!
Look what arrived from US this month





And I am still looking for KA8 Legend coupe lip... why is it so hard to get It's been a year since I started to look for it and still no results

[jaca]

I also sold my Kumho 195/40 R17, and bought Dunlops 205/45 R17.
Kumho were to small - they were drowning in giant ocean of emptiness of CB7 fender. I needed something that will fill this gap more tightly.

[DanCan]

Are you looking for a new one? The older the car, the harder it is to get parts. And only getting harder & harder. I do believe that I am one of the last people to get a brand new Legend lip from the dealer. Was purchased just under 2 years ago, and soon after a friend of mine tried to get one and couldn`t. Probably only used ones are available now. Judging by your search, seems true.

When running 17`s I always prefer a 45 series to a 40. Not only does it fill the wheel well better, but it`s more sidewall for rim protection against potholes. Speedo will be more accurate too.

Can`t wait to see it all lowered. Keep us posted & keep up the good work

I am looking for new one, for old one, painted one, broken one, cut one - no matter the shape or condition. I am trying not to be picky and if it can be rescued - I will try to make it fit.
Maybe I don't know where to search for one of these. Ebay, craigslist? People often just leave phone number and for me it's a big barrier to call from Europe And in addition - if they hear 'shipping' - they often not interested :/

One of my friends also imported last two new they had somewhere in US and one was lost on the way to Poland It was also about 2 years ago.

Some of you might have already seen it on CB7Tuner facebook group. But today, officialy - new photos





Look carefuly - can you see who's driving with me on the back seat everywhere I go?
