Now that's more like it.

Hello all. Newbie to the forums here.

After too much time wasted working on my 97 Nissan Altima, I sold it and bought myself my second CB7.
Life is good.



Interior was perfect. Exterior has some minor scratches and one small dent, which is as good as it gets for Alaska.
Exhaust was rusted and had a few leaks but I'm replacing it with an eBay cat-back.
And best part, was under the hood:



I've thoroughly inspected the car by now and every bit of preventative maintenance that can be done, has been done. All gaskets are new, new starter, new belts... Not a single issue.

I seriously couldn't be happier.
So I am going to take my time with this car. It won't be a patched up wannabe racecar like my Altima.

Looking forward to building this thing... And loving all of the inspiration I've gotten so far from browsing these forums.

Thinking about plasti-dipping the car when summer comes back around. Flat black or bright Ferrari red?

Don't touch the paint. Not 2 many red cbs out there.

Great looking start. I love the red!

If you take your time IMO things tend to work a lot better

Looks good. Whats the plan for it?

[JDMDriver]

Well welcome BACK to the CB7 world I believe is the appropriate greeting (unless you still have your first CB and have not sold it).

Can't believe there is no repairs needed?!

Well now that you have attended to all the maintenance issues as well, then I suggest you focus on bringing it back to OEM standards before going to mods, such as:

OEM rims
passenger side mirror
Paint touch up and colour code the front, rear bumpers, mirrors and door ext handles
Rear mud flaps

[F20A CB7]

Its a dx I think. They came with blk bumpers, and blk door handles. I would leave it be. I would get a passenger side mirror tho. Looks funky without it.

Yeah I was amazed with the condition. Truthfully I do need a window washer pump and better brakes... But I'll probably drop some money on other goodies before I fix that.

As far as the color goes, I do really like it... But it's a DX so I have plastic bumper covers and I'd be happy with the whole car being matte black to match the cheap ass covers and handles... Plus the plasti-dip will protect the red underneath.

As far as other plans: I want some blackhoused headlights, yellow HIDs, 20% tint, rear mud flaps, alloy rims, front and back bumper lips, red or black header wrap, and red LEDs everywhere I haven't put them so far.

I will most likely do a new clutch as this one feels like it won't last forever.
And when I get a new daily driver, I'll be doing my first ever turbo setup on this.

[TheFunk]

Oh, and a roof rack with some HID projectors on it. Can't forget about that.

[cb9heart]

wow. looks great for ALASKA!
and that red... reminds me of a bright integra color.
not a whole lot of red cb's, I like it.

The red really reminds me of my first car! milano red integra. As everyone has said above i absolutely love the red!
