New Coupe

[RustyBucket]

The recent gas prices have been adding up with the beast I have been driving so I have been looking for somehting more fuel efficient. This search resulted in me buying a 1992 EX-R 5-speed coupe last week. I managed to pick up a second set of 6-spoke OEM alloys over the weekend so now I have one set for the summer tires and one for the winters.

It's totally stock and has obviously been well taken care of with only 225,000KM on it (about 140,000mi). The only visible rust on the body is the typical rot at the corners of the rear wheel wells. The underside is great and it obviously has been professionally undercoated throughout its life.

My only plans with it are to keep it well maintained and take it on road trips. Stock and loving it



This is the other car I currenly own which was costing me too much in gas: a 1994 Infiniti Q45.

It's a really nice car... comfortable powerful, but the gas mileage is absolute crap in the city. I have no need for two cars so I am currently in the process of trying to sell it.

Sell it, and dump some cash intot he cb, u won't regret it =)

That's a really good starting point. The frame is the hardest part of a car to fix or replace so starting with a clean frame is a blessing. Good luck selling the Q45, I don't think anyone will want it for a bit for the same reason you're selling

Nice but can we have more pics please?!

[RustyBucket]

Well, since you asked nicely for more pics, how can I say no?

Here it is in all its bone-stock beauty:




...And the interior:


As far as putting money into this car goes, the main goal with this car is to save money so the only money I plan on putting into it is maintenance and gas. The $$ from the Infiniti would definitely pay for getting the wheel well corners professionally redone. I could also go on a loooong roadtrip with that much $$.

I really enjoy this coupe... it kind of feels like a big Prelude at times and like a small Legend at others. I actually used to own a '92 Legend in the same colour as this car: Grenada Black Pearl (NH-503P). That car unfortunately got the BHG that the C32 engines are known for.

You weird canadians and your grey interiors

USDM black EX's had tan interiors

Have any mods planned for it?

The only mods I really have in mind are fog lights, most likely aftermarket ones since OEM ones are hard to find. If I could find a set of vent visors at a junkyard I'd definitely snag 'em. I may also be looking into a roof rack as well because I've bought this as an "adventure wagon" to take on road trips and I may need the extra cargo capacity.
Mods are going to be minimal on this car; maybe it's partly because the CB7 is a commonly modified platform and I want to be different.

I think I am going to be leaving the windows un-tinted... I like the "open" feeling it gives the car, especially with the glass sunroof.

I love the grey cloth with the black exterior... honestly, I don't think I'd like a tan interior with a black exterior.

Yeah... When I saw this car and the condition it is in, I knew I would be a fool to pass it up.

It has definitely been well undercoated more than once. The wheel wells are thick with the rubberized stuff and the whole underside is coated in the greasy, oily undercoat that you get re-done peroidically. It gets in everywhere and I can hardly touch anything underneath or in the engine bay without getting my hands greasy. This car is definitely proof that undercoating is well worth the money if you live in an area where they salt the roads.
