First CB7, new here. Hello from VT!!

[PakaloloHonda]

This is a crazy minty coupe .. just astonishing! And welcome to the site!

You bring up suspension, so I'll throw in my 2cents ..
I've had other CB's before I bought my CB9, and I was always a spring and strut man.
That was up until I got the wagon. I researched the Form N Function coil-overs.
Lots .. TONS of info on this coil-over, and I'd highly suggest them for your project.
They are pricey, but if you look around for a good used set ..

Great job on the detail! Really looking forward to watching this one.
Also looking forward to seeing what you find in the JY!

Keep this thread going!

Thanks man, its nice coming to a site and being welcomed. Unlike vwvortex.com where its just a mad house lol. So i got most of what i was looking for. The only legend coupe had its lower valence crushed and not worth saving. I got the yellow cover, bulbs for switches (one of mine is out),
integra clock with working cover, rear floor mats (need cleaning but can be saved), the white plastic clips for my trim thats coming off above drivers door, oh!!! best part, found a new set of 9005, 9006, piaa bulbs!!!! I only paid $9.00 for everything, including the fog light bulbs too. I really wanted my head rest but those were all gone. anyway, could someone direct me to a write up on installing the yellow covers? should I do fogs? or head light? there are a tone of legends at that yard, I actually took all the covers off all of them and hid them lol. thanks!

[802cb7]

never mind. I realized there is a "search" function here lol. So i got one of the fog's apart, and I'm thinking that what I got at the yard today isnt going to work at all. I could use a new pair of fog lights anyway. The ones I have on it now are really showing their age. Very dull and scratched. The 3M headlight restoration kit works really well. The PIAA lights are in, and what a difference over the stock cheap bulbs. Its not anything super amazing in these days of HID's and projector head lighting , but still a noticeable change in output.

what year prelude ecu am I looking for? i only saw one older one at the yard today. Flip up lights and 4WS lol I remember test driving one of those years ago when I was looking at my first practical car Ca. 1999


just realized I grabbed the wrong bulb covers. oh well, and when I took the pass side fog out I noticed its all rusty in there and I'm surprised it even works. Also noticed the actual bumper its self is in rough shape. All the mounting points for the directionals and fogs etc are either broken, or about to be. Not to mention the paint is slightly off color and chipping. Thinking of getting a 1993-1993 front bumper and just adding some aftermarket yellow fogs. There are no 1990-91 at the yard, all newer, I also like that bumper better anyway.

Did a bunch of cleaning today, and removed the alarm system.


During the shampoo, mind you, everyone thinks this interior is already really clean. This is also just the drivers seat, drivers side carpet.




The dirt!!! Even I couldnt believe it, and I've been detailing cars both professionally, and on the side for over 10 years!!!






All clean and drying out. Going to do the passengers side tomorrow.



I will try and get better shots of the whole interior tomorrow. I love the brown and tan, absolutely love it!

Very cool & clean coupe!

That you have a little dirt washed. I have so much dirt has gathered only from the roof lining. And about the Carpet on the floor and the seat I did not tell .. A friend who was helping me clean the interior called the former owner cucumber tycoon because the car was so much dust as if it had only the fields and went))

[STREET-SPEC]

Are you putting the alarm back in? If not, throw it up on ebay. They are pretty rare. Especially if you have the romote for it.

I'm not sure. I dont think it worked when it was in the car. I didnt mess with it too much, so maybe it does? I do know the fuse for the system used to get very hot so who knows? No remote with it, but I have the manual that came with it with a number on the front written in pen which I'm assuming is the number for a remote? . Someone on here offered me $20.00 for it. I might consider selling it but would have to be local pick up. I'll probably just add it to the start of my "rare" honda stuff. whats it even worth?

This car has OEM fogs...and damn this is one lint ride. Also where the heck is everyone finding 9091 EX coupes?! There are like next to none in Dallas lol. Stupid clean ride man. I'm totally jealous.

You've got an EX coupe too?! Wth lol my last cb was a 93 LX coupe with a 9091 front end. Fogs and all lol. I hate that I sold it...with the fogs bonehead mistake. I have a CD7 now tho...still an LX lol. I even found a 96 Ex coupe identical to my 96 LX coupe a week after I bought my car for the same price and in better condition. I was so upset lol

im huge on collecting stuff like this, here is my latest score. Now to carefully remove them and frame it.

Yes, I put a CD player from a '99 Honda Odyssey in my friend's Accord. Just grab the connector with a bit of wire. Then get a harness adapter plug for your current Accord and solder them together.

[LadyG]

I'm all about oem+ and doing it right the first time.

Then you're a welcome addition! Crazy clean find, too!

I knew that would work!!! Pretty sure it was actually a 1999 odyssey I took it out of.

Then you're a welcome addition! Crazy clean find, too!

Thank you! Cant wait to start really dumping some money into this. My friend informed me i need to replace my sway bar bushings. I've seen some people using energy suspension stuff, what is the actual kit to use? The number on the package would be great.

[802cb7]

Im so going to get this!!! Thats actually my friends black accord if you look on the side. I'll study it over the winter. http://h22swap.com/
