PICs

A long time ago in Kuwait...







Winter 2002. In the EU, USDM headlamps are illegal, so I had to change to ECE. I only had 90-91 ones with the corner and grille, and winter 14in steelies...
All gone now, and the lamps are back to originals, only ECE.

Several years later in front of a local IKEA store. BUmpers painted after some collision.

Just after installing SRI and strut bar



Some underground parking lot

2007 - fighting that red bi*ch











Effects:





In England on the wrong side of the roads...



Still original 14in, but dropped -45mm





RED/CLEARs



Finally the lower lip missing from day 1...

[jszuba]

Rota Sub-Zeros arrived in lousy english weather









Aluminium chrome dial rings - they were too big so I had to hack them



DC sports header!
I painted the blue AEM SRI because it didn't go well with my SAMCO silicone tubing



Back in Poland with ACCORDKLUBPOLSKA.COM with my friend's 2004 Accord Type-S

very good work in fighting the red bitch ahah

car looks like it has a caring owner

I'd remove the rota center caps, and lower it some more!

[jszuba]

Thanks, I and my father before me try our best to take care of her.
As for the lowering, she was originally 10mm higher than standard CB3/7 because she was meant for the middle east, so with the Eibachs, she went down not -35 but -45 in reality (1.77in) and I don't want any more because of the bad quality roads here in Poland (pot holes, kerbs etc).
Still thinking of removing the centre caps though and replacing them with original Honda ones, like the ones on the steelies...

Good looking ride!! She gets around too. Poland, Kuwait and England? Keep her going, not many of us can boast pics of our rides from so many different countries.

[jszuba]

Thanks
She's been to many places:

United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, United Kingdom and Wales...

I'd love to one day do a coast to coast across the US and stop by some CB7 meets... that'd be cool

[CB7_91/DX]

[Julianachos]

WOW this car has been around, coast to coast would be nice, just do it.

[jszuba]

One day I will... I will

For now though, I just learned that this weekend, there will be a 1st International Architects' Race so I'm thinking of taking part. Only, I haven't got a helmet... couple of days to think.

[jszuba]

Well, no rallying because I forgot I had arranged to take her to a paint shop to get rid of some scratches and chips, and a bit of the red b**ch.
But I picked her up today and she's all beautiful again :P

Still not happy about my cat-back that hasn't arrived. Magnaflow (apparently) is at fault because they didn't make it on time and then didn't send it though they informed the local Magnaflow retailer it was on its way. It is now 1 month overdue...
I thought that during the recession people were clawing for business. What's up, Magnaflow?
