Raf99 : 1993 Accord EX

I can't believe how nice your CB7 is, and everything is so tasteful.

Thanks man!

On with the show. Finally finished all the wiring, looks good and should perform great!

[Raf99]

Well that didn't last long. I think a mistake i made here is that I fused for the alternator and not for the wire. The OEM setup uses a 80amp fuse in the box for the alternator power wire but it also uses a 8 or 10awg wire. And the rule is that you fuse for the wire and not the component. So technically according to a chart I should have a 150amp fuse off this block. I don't really need this fuse but since the wire to the ALT runs under the rad I thought it was a good idea.

Nice cat!

You sure you don't want to bump the 2 awg up to 1/0 awg?

Thanks
Yaaa. Not needed and the reasons I didn't go with it is because when you buy distribution blocks and circuit breakers it is too hard to find them with a 0/1AWG input and a 2/4AWG output. Like you would never find a distribution block that was 0/1 input and has 4awg and 8awg outputs as not many people step down in AWG that much.

My paint booth for the spoiler Hung a 4x4' plastic table from engine lift and made a shower type device of it. I hang the piece in the middle and turn it via the top of the table.

[Raf99]

still need to polish it, but super happy I did this mod!

I always liked the flushmount on a cb. Very smooth and sleek design. Looks good John!

With the lights and everything up front, the spoiler balances things nicely. Paint looks like it matched pretty well, too.

[Raf99]

Thanks all. Well I took the spoiler off and hit it with 1000, 2000, 3000 grit and then buffed. Still not quite the as good as a professional, experience takes time.

Started the rear EDM fog light, oh the joys of what body shops get a way with.....






I know there should be a cutout marking somewhere, but seems mine doesn't have one...

[Darkcloud]

If I rememberwas right, I believe cb's with a j as the first letter of vin # have the cutout or 90-91 cb's.

You are correct. And now I contemplate cutting a hole in my rear bumper for some accessory I don't really need....

What do ya'll think??

[Darkcloud]

You know I asked myself the same thing. I have the oem button and fog but Idk if I need it, I'll be racing it but then where I live is foggy atm lol, I haven't checked my bumper either for the cutout. I.May just not install it.

Make yourself a template and then cut from there. I guessed with my positioning but it turned out really well. My first rear fog I didn't have to cut the crash bar but I did have to with the second one (someone bumped me at a light and broke the first one). I use mine all the time in heavy rain and the rare morning fog.
