Chargespeed # 3012


Going to like it more once i paint it black.

grill fits like ehh, had to move my hood latch all the way up to close the hood, lame.

The passenger eye lid broke off, was expecting at least one of them to break during shipping so I'm not bothered by it. Got a great deal, just was a pain in the ass dealing with the seller.

for reasons ill go into later, dont be suprised to see my car for sale within the next few weeks... believe me i do not want to
if anyone has interest or opinions on what i should ask for it please pm me. considering trade for stock accord + cash. more info soon

[GHOST 2.2]

damn and i remember telling you the other day that i was suprised that you have your car still.

gary you can use my car as a standing point, even though we have different mods


goods:
omni power coils
custom paint job
apex ws2 exhaust
jdm headlights
steering wheel
shortened shifter with knob
gauges
red/white tails

bads:
future mechanic special
shit load of electrical problems
no stereo
no speakers
dying a/c
rotting rubbers (bushings, mounts etc)

stock:
hood
oem lip
ex alloy rims

all that for 2500 (im pretty sure that guy got a good deal even when the car came with electrical problems, but im sure its gonna be a mechanic special soon)

the way i was looking at the car it was starting to become a money pit. i rather invest my money building a newer car then spending money on maintenance just to keep my car driving on the street.

even if your selling the car with some goodies, youd also have to factor in the problems that come with the car.

i remember some douche bag wanted to trade me his saturn with a rebuilt transmission

EDIT: to think of it i basically gave away a free car, the goodies alone cost more then the car itself
thats how the car life is.

feeling that way right now too.

[Blk EX Coupe]

When I sold my CB I got $2000 minus the cost of smog, so $1940 for a 93 coupe with 186-187k miles.

The good:
-New rotors and brake pads all around
-New tires with less then 300 miles on them
-Alignment done within a month
-Kyb gr-2 instead of blown stocks
-all seals in the head and timing belt side were changed
-Fresh oil, transmission, and coolant

The Bad:
-oxidized paint
-rear main seal leak
-worn rear transmission
-carpet in the interior was falling off the doors
-I was the mechanic working on the car, so a lot of shit was rigged

The first person to call about my car after I listed it on craigslist basically insulted my car over the phone and tried offering me 1200 for it saying I could never got anywhere near 2 grand. A lot of people flaked on me, but the first person that actually showed up bought the car, and it ended up selling in less than 2 days.

feeling that way right now too.

Say it ain't so Jhonnoy.. lol. You have had your CB almost straight out of the lot and personally I belive it has become one of the nicest on the forum and an inspiration.

[ikayto]

blacked out the grill and added a value sport Honda emblem





honda emblem was inspired by my role model.

[lummieCB7]

looks pretty good Wilson.
