Why do we love our CB7 so much??

[pocb7]

I'm sure there's a similar thread like this one already but I haven't seen it yet. Anyways, I test drive many cars, and there's not a car that has quite the characters that the cb7 have. The handling is awesome with minor mod, the fact that we can do a h22, h23 etc. swap is awesome, still looks great after all these years, feels solid and very communicative. This could be why so many people on this forum got so many other cool cars but still come back to the cb and pour money into it. Well let me know what you like.

Well... It always starts, it can take huge loads of abusive, angry driving, it looks great(to me), the interior doesn't fall apart, the exterior doesn't fall apart, it's fast enough, it handles great, it's very communicative, it easily seats four 5'10" people in comfort with all of their luggage, all of the controls are easy to use and read and perhaps even pleasing to look at?, it's "a great value"(nice way of saying "cheap"). My Accord even says hello to me when I get in... I think it does anyway.

A buddy of mine even suggested that he liked the way the operation of the turn signal stalk feels...? This car does nearly everything you could ever want a car to do, does it with a bit of style, and will do it every day of your life and will probably out-live your grandchildren if you just change the oil, tires, timing-belt, and other normal-wear items at appropriate intervals.

my mustang is the fastest car in the world.

I can't explain it but I love mine to death, never gonna sell it. It's been with me since my junior year of high school! Gonna rock it til the end!

[Turbo Dave]

its a honda, not a 5th gen accord, and its not a civic, of any year. may not be an integra, or an rsx or TL, but its the best honda for the price in my book

plus mine is so decked out now its rediculous.

Well I would say it can give the best of both worlds...sporty and luxury..When cared for a cb can stand out in a crowd...Its fairly simply to work on and with a stie like this you get to see everyone esles passion for the cb as well...

Because it's never let me down
Because it takes me all the way to work before running out of gas as I'm getting into my parking space.
Because when your radiator bursts on SoBe you find another Cb7 rider willing to help you out.
Because it's a fighter and like me has seen better days in the 90's.
Because it's ready willing and able.
This car's like a woman in many respects (I hope the ladies aren't gonna find this offensive) cause when you treat her right, she takes care of you.

[Turbo Dave]

yeah my cb's have never let me down except once but that was because of a defect autozone part!

so in reality, its never let me down.

[ex_style90]

I guess cause thier so easy to customize. Oh yea, and most of the parts are pretty cheap at that. The cb7 was basically a car ahead of its time...

[sohjonn]

where else can you find a car with power windows, powered mirrors, power steering, powered door locks, powered moonroof, cruise control, tilt steering, good gas economy, clean design interior and spacious quarters, and the "riding-on-clouds" experience for less than $1500CDN ?

Funny this post is up, I just got a 92 CB7 Coupe. I had a 90 when I was 19 is was nice then but not fast. A Corrodo G60 made me look bad on the highway. So I decided to look into swapping in the H22, but no one knew how to do it. I even had the money to get it done, but no luck. Now over 10 years later I have had two 94 accords, one with boosted F22 (drag kit 200HP to the wheels on 5psi) the other with boosted H22 (drag kit with Hondata 200 with 450 injectors at 5psi 225HP to the wheels) and both handled like shit... even with an upgraded suspension (Koni with eibach sportlines).

I decided to get an M3, but the insurance was a little high for me. I currently have a 325i which handles very nice but not fast at all, compared to my CB7 with H22 and H&R with Bilstien shocks. This Honda handles very nice now better than the 94 accords I had. I was thinking about boosting at 5 psi but I hear the H22 may not handle it. Who knows I may just do it anyway and see what happens.

CB7 out of all the other Hondas accords was the best one ever and still is. I want to change out the interior though to make it look a little more modern like the seats. Does anyone know if the seats from the Acura TL will fit with slight modifications?

I love it because it has never left me stranded! Knock on wood!

It looks fly as fuck for a 14+ year old car.

It gets great gas mileage.

Its comfortable and safe.

And gots mad room for sex. =)

So yea Cb7s are loved by many because they are in fact the perfect car.

[quickangel93]
