Im in your boat too i baby my car alot yet it needs so much shit done :/ that i just cant afford, im so close to giving up :/

[S.W.A.T]

if i had the time and money i would just swap the motor with a H22, Your CB looks sick
and i wouldn't sell it if i had that, even with those specified problems.

I bought mine January 2nd and I haven't even gotten to drive it yet. It needs an engine (which I'm currently rebuilding), ALL suspension, new tires, dents fixed and then repainted. I've already put two thousand dollars into it from junkyard parts and new parts. Granted I've got a mountain of parts in my room waiting to go on. But, there are people even worse off than me. My problems are manageable. Keep your head up and keep at it. You can't own a '90-'93 Accord because it's the most reliable car on the planet. There's probably a good percentage of people that are members on this site solely because of problems they've had with their cars.

I think for the most part, almost every member here goes through this.

I get comments about how much people like my car, yet I have so much sh!t to fix. It sometimes feels overwhelming, but I know I must continue to build.

Sometimes the thought of giving up and selling her crosses my mind, but then I'd let myself down... We can't have that.

Yeah, I always say I'm gonna give up, but I never do :S lol

the motor is swapped, h22a1 and converted from auto to manual

Yeah... I will. I just can't wait for it to be completed, everytime I say I'm going to get this done on that day, more problems pop up and it keeps getting put off.

That's a beautiful coupe.

Funny, my Hondas have never given me mechanical headaches. Just small little issues once in a while.

Unlike other cars I've owned where seemingly everything goes wrong all at once.

me too thats why i love my honda

[Straight Success]

Ever heard the phrase "drive it like you stole it!"

That's how I drive my car, so you can just imagine the torture it goes through. I fix it with new parts, drive it hard, and something else breaks.

It's getting where I need it to be though, one part at a time.

my old cb was like that, never had a problem with it, absolutely none. it was a beautiful car, completely stock with the exception of rims and exhaust and sound system. i miss it, she got toataled.

Ever heard the phrase "drive it like you stole it!"

So you drive it 5 under the speed limit...?

its "drive it like you rented it" ...

(as long as you have that extra 10 dollar insurance on it)

my has been pretty good to me especially for having 253000 miles on it...

only problem as of now is the oil consumption about a quart every 1000 miles... but no leaks at all and the exhaust is relatively clean. So i have no idea were it goes ...
