ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). 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.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:
http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=144
Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

      Should have grabbed the rear center cross member and sway bar while you were at it. The LX cross member doesn't have mounting provisions for the sway bar.

      Edit: Noticed it is a 91 EX, so I guess it probably already has the rear sway bar.

      Anyway - welcome. A fresh set of plugs, cap, rotor, air filter, and set correct timing (make sure you don't have a lot of oil in the spark plug holes) might go a long way to improve your gas mileage.

          Accelerate slow and keep rpms around 3k. Plus, lots of freeway driving. You can easily get 400.

                If you get a lot, I believe it can affect the spark. Otherwise, it is just messy!

                          Last week I found some good used speakers in one of my boxs that fit for both front speakera 😁. I know for a fact the oem ones didn't work just by looking at them

                              I had a good inch it there when I replaced the plugs last week. Those plugs looked like there were in there for 80,000 miles!
