Sup everybody, new to the board and to the CB7. Just inherited a 1991 EX Coupe from my aunt. It's got 210,000 miles and really doesn't show it that much. I remember growing up I'd see it all the time, cause my dad did all the work on it since she bought it. It's lived in Jersey City its whole life but there's no outer body rust, just haven't checked under it or anything like that. I don't plan on doing anything to it at all except for just keeping it stock - I have an '87 300ZX for my tuner that I'm eventually gonna start work on and I just wanna keep the Accord for my daily driver, something comfortable as opposed to the stiffness of my ZX. I also have a 1990 Infiniti M30 which no one's probably ever heard of, but I keep it stored. Eventually gonna restore it someday.
Anyways, all my Accord needs to get running is a leak fix somewhere on the power steering. Don't know what the problem is since it's been sitting for about a year, but I had to slice the power steering belt to drive it home from her place cause the fluid was just pissing everywhere. Is this a common problem on Accords of this gen? Don't know where in particular it's leaking, I still gotta check that out.
Also, the thing vibrates like hell outside of Park, and all the engine mounts are just kinda floating there useless. Gotta get on that. But other than that, the car is pretty tight from what I can see, doesn't surprise me... it's a Honda. My '00 Odyssey has 197,000 on it, original trans and has not a single problem, so I'm pretty lucky there too.
The only thing I can see doing is the rotor-over-hub conversion cause I can't stand HOR setups.
Any tips on what to look out for? I'll do the usual cap, rotor, plugs, wires, all new fluids eventually. I still gotta get the wheels off and look at how the brakes are.
Oh, and stupid question, but the EXs had discs all around, right? Thanks
