to fix or not

[Puertorican CB7]

Thanks for the support u guys have givein me. Bad news the suspension is off on the passager side by like 3mm. So I have got a good deal on a 4th gen prelude with the f22 in it. I don't know if this da right place to ask but anyways. It has the f22a1 in it will the f22a6 go in it? Will the trans go to? What mod might I have to do. Thanks for the help.

Yea u can mount the f22a6 in it no problem.. Its the same engine (on the outside at least).

Any cb7 transmission will bolt up.. but keep in mind that that CB7 tranny has a longer 3rd gear! I had a 4th gen Prelude and when my tranny broke I swaped in a cb7 trans and I was really dissapointed.. first and second are fine but as soon as u hit 3rd ur RPMS drop like a mofo and so does your acceleration.

My suggestion if u plan on staying with an f-22 is to try and get a prelude transmision since they have the better/shorter gear ratio.

Good luck

If I were you, i'd go for a new CB7 and leave wrecked one for parts donor

[akito]

I'd leave it and buy another shell. Time to look for something else nicer!! Take this as an opportunity!!

i need your drivers side fender.... just bought the same coupe... but mine was smashed on the drivers side...

[Cb7-DoN]

Yea I got 2 good fenders cuz I was goin to put them on before the wrack but oh well. I love the cb but 1200 for a prelude in great shape no rust. Can't beat that. Goin to keep my eyes out for anthor cb7.

what year lude? glad u got another car...

Any car is fixable. This forum is full of full interior conversions and motor swaps, and a rad support swap is scaring everyone away.

I crashed my car in January. I haven't finished it because its at my parents house, which is about 500km away. I just get to work on it over weekends once in a while.



Now that so far has been:

New hood - $160
New bumper cover - $110
New bumper - $60
New signals- $70
New rad support - $110 (even if you get all your stuff used, get a new one of these)
New rad- 100
Hood latch - 40 from honda
Paint -600
Plus Grill, clips, a belt, possibly headlights, new intake (not needed, but why not eh?), and fluids and a few others. Mind you these are all brand new parts, so I have literally a brand new car infront of the engine.

I'll be doing a big thread about it after easter. But for the time being I would start taking off the broken parts and take off the rest of the rad support to inspect all thats broken.

dam dude... wtf u hit?

[bcjammerx]

guys...unless the pic is misleading...it isn't replaceable parts that are busted...it's THE FRAME. Again...maybe the pic is misleading.

This means he's going to have to be an ace welder as he will need to cut out the metal then re-weld the unibody, not just replaceable slap on parts...such as fenders and radiator supports.

Yea those pic are misleading. I had a buddy of mine that owns a bodyshop come and look at it. He said that if he was to do it 3500 with a buddy discount. The suspension is off on that side by like 3cm. It got n the sub frame. I got a 92 prlude with the f22a1 in the body is perfact. Can't pass it up 1200. That's a deal. Plus I can put my accord motor in it. So I can dive that mo fo tell the wheels fell off or hopefully noting like this happens to it.
