sideswipe : 1991 Accord LX

[90-JDMCB7]

Haven't updated my thread in a while since I haven't had the time or $ to do any work on the CB. Still drive it to work every day Mon-Fri and it's parked on the weekend since I also have a '10 Civic. Just passed 273,xxx on the clock and still running like a champ but I've been noticing more and more that it's age is starting to show, mostly with electrical issues. I still love this car and still have have plans I'd like to carry out on it but honestly.....I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it much longer anymore. Maybe I will, maybe I won't....been thinking on it for a while now and I'm just getting to a different period in my life where driving a 20 yr old modded Accord isn't making sense anymore. That being said, only time will tell what it's fate will be.....

I am right there with ya dude...I been contemplating the same thing...just not sure which direction to go with this. BUT...I drove it the other day and had fun beating up on a V6 Eclipse and wow...just for a split second I said to myself...I aint getting rid of this car...but hey who knows...I get the right offer and perhaps I will let it go to a good home!

I hear you on that......if it ever went to a new home it would have to be 1 that would appreciate it as much as I do.....and not be anywhere around where I live because I wouldn't want to see it get ragged out after all the work I've put into it over the last 10+ yrs! I still have love for it, just think I've been burned out on it lately since I've been broke the last 8 mos and haven't been able to give it the attention I'd like to. Next wk is the last wk of the broke status though since our 5 yr old is starting school and we won't have to pay for his daycare anymore....$400 a mo saved from now on! Best part is we stayed on top of the bills during all this and actually even got rid of a few in the process so we won't be playing catch-up with anything. Have just a couple more I'd like to pay off and then I'll be free to work on the CB....or whatever else again in the near future.

Thanks bro!





Here's a pic I took a couple days ago while waiting to get my oil changed........



.......yeah, she needs a bath BAD!

Just a little update......from here on out I'm going to be putting a little $ aside from each paycheck to save up for and get the needed parts...and wanted parts....that I need to get this car how/where I want it. I'm really not that far off from finishing it and I'll be getting another car to DD real soon which will allow me to be able to work on it the way I want/need to.

1st up......get my RR window fixed. Part of the plastic housing that the cables from the window motor slide through broke off at the very top and now is preventing the window from rolling up 100%. It rolls up and down fine....except it doesn't close up the last 1/2" or so at the top when it's finished rolling up. Anybody have any knowledge/ideas on what it would take to get that part replaced and get the window working 100% again?

That same thing happened to me on the same window when I first bought mine. I just replaced the whole window motor and it fixed my problem. Let me know if you do that to your it fixes it. gl bro! Oh btw the cb's still lookin killer!

Thanks bro! I'm going to hit up a jy next Sat for some parts that I need and also 1's I've been looking for. Window will be fixed next weekend.

[sideswipe]

Well....hit up the jy and got the window motor I needed. Swapped it out and works like a champ! Big things about to happen with the CB later this month....long awaited heart transplant and some other good stuff...stay tuned.

I swear your CB looks better every time I see it....awesome to see that H22 in there finally. I'm buying a fellow member's coupe on the 22nd and will be taking the H22a & LSD tranny out of it and putting it in mine. Then going to put my F22a1 & tranny in his, swap a few other parts between the cars and then sell the coupe.

[Clean_4th gen]

Glad to hear that man, what year is the H22?
