i am thinking of trading my cb for another car ( a da) but i dont know if i want to get rid of it. it has no problems and all it needs is rust repair. please help me cause i have a week to decide. i want it but i dunno. only reasons i dont like it is cause its heavy and slow so if i keep it its gonna get swapped.

You know you're going to get a biased opinion here, Dave!
I say keep it. Of course, I've never evem been in a DA, and I know you have a history with those cars. The CB may be a bit heavy, but it's more refined... and still has plenty of potential. Swap in an H22, or boost anything else, and you wouldn't be disappointed with it. Aside from the crazy expensive B18C5, there's really nothing that can go into a DA to give it 200hp while retaining proper handling. The CB accepts the H22 with no compromise. Suspension options are quite good as well... probably on par with the DA now.
When I was searching for a car that fit my needs, it was VERY hard not to just get another CB7. I got my Volvo instead, and honestly... it's a nice car... but it's inferior to the CB7 in pretty much every way.

I agree w/Dee...
Many potentials for the cb. Me, I have my 93 and 2 pistons went out on me. Hence, replaced motor with a lil goodie inside
Anyhow, potentials are there for the cb...
Either way Dave, I'll understand whether to keep the cb or get the da...The da is not going anywhere. At least for now...RETIRED...Comment

My CB has given me hell in the 4th quarter of '06, but I say you keep it. Seriously, once you dump money into a car, there's no financial point in trying to get rid of it...you might as well ride it till the wheels fall off. Keep doing little stuff to hold your interest...I'd suggest an H23 mani for starters...

so, really it weighs like 2800 Lbs. I have an H22 in mine with full interior,no sound deadener and nothing whatsoever except bare metal in the trunk,and it weighs about 2650

ok so my car should weigh about 2800. i am gonna clean it up and see what it weighs in at thenit's been a while but i'm back!!Comment

2800 with nobody in it is about right. You can pull some stuff (AC, PS, interior) and drop 300lbs easily enough. 2500lbs puts it in full-interior Civic range, I believe.
My wife had a Civic, and I hated it. It was lightweight, handled pretty well, and was comfy enough... but it just felt like such a shitbox. Just... cheap. My CB7, even with it's obnoxious exhaust, fairly harsh suspension, no AC or PS, notchy shifter, and annoying driver's side window is MUCH better
If I ever got a small, lightweight, sporty car, it would probably be an FC or a Miata.
