Dang it looks like a lot of posts got deleted after the site crash.
Anyway for my update.
Hello all. It has been very long since I've been on here. I, to be completely be honest, hardly visit this site anymore. I have been too busy with work and other problems/situations that needed my full attention. For one, I no longer have my BMW. I now own a 2011 Accord Coupe since August. They both have it's pro's and con's about each other. But I have to say, losing my baller-look status for a more fuel economical, roomier, newer car with less to no problems is a definite plus in my book.
Now for my dilemma. I have had my CB for maybe 4-5 years now. I am proud of my accomplishments that I have built with this car, making it a one of a kind coupe on this site. However, being that it is old, I am also losing passion for it since I am getting old-er myself. I have no true reason to keep the car other than the fact of how much money I have invested into it. I am totaling over 13k at this point. It has very sentimental value to me as well. I have built this car from the ground up. It has it's own personal "swag" and I will probably never find another car that will define myself in car form.
As of now, it still stands on jackstands. I will try to get my friend to tackle my idling problem. It may be a small fix and it may be an expensive fix. The thought of having to spend another 2k to get it at its prime is mind-fucking for me. I intend to make big moves this year. This includes cutting my credit card debt (which I can accomplish soon), and also move out of the parental's house and add the "in" to "dependent". I just really need to make smart decisions this year and really start picking up on my life.
In reality, this car has no gain for me, other than accomplishment. I no longer need a fast car, or a head turner. I'm realizing these things as I age like wine. I did however build this car for me. And it is tastefully built, if you agree or not.
I talked to a very close friend of mine and he said if it's the last big payment I'm going to make on it then I should finish it. I would be very hard on myself and never forgive myself if I gave up. This is one of those dream come true types of things. Being acknowledged for your work. It's just really hard to justify me paying that chunk.
I just need re-motivation. If I ever do give up on this, best believe it will not be sold whole. I will never let anyone take credibility for something I built.
I love this site and all the help I gained from here. I just need someone to help point me in the right direction. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks guys.Last edited by jdm_inspired; 01-07-2012, 05:20 AM.

Your car is worth every penny you've put into it heck I'd even make the trip to come see it in person. I love how it flows. I hope you do finish it take it to shows meets ect. And get the respect you deserve for building a jaw dropping car. Don't give up on her! Get her running you'll see your car in a different veiw once you drive her. Next thing to do is finish her and enjoy her.

Damn, it's been a while since I last saw you post any updates. I agree with everyone else. My vote goes along with you finishing and keeping her. Finish her up and bring it to the meets. It would be awesome to see it first hand. I personally appreciate all the work that you have done. You are one of the few that have taken the CB7 chassis to it's fullest potential. I have definitely been inspired.

NO. DO NOT. QUIT ON THIS CAR. :| You will see this car to the end because to complete something you worked so hard on and put so much effort into will be more than worth the measly 2k you'll invest to get it running. You are not a quitter, I never knew you to be, and I don't think it's in your blood at all to even consider stopping when you are so close to completion and finishing your vision for your car.
I DIDN'T BUY YOUR COMPOSITION JACKET AND HAT FOR NOTHING! LOL That was to go towards your car building funds
so yeah.we all would love to see your car finished. It keeps us all motivated to see a god among humans.
