as some of you may know, ive had a semi long history of cb7's. ive owned 6, 4 of which i have right now. some of you have been around for all of it, some of you only know my current car. even the ppl whove been around dont even know my full history, as its hard to follow, because i went from white sedan to white sedan to white sedan to white sedan... lol.
beware, this is going to get pretty long! anyhoo here goes.
my life of CB7s began my senior year of highschool, in early 2003. i was previously driving my grandma's old 1992 toyota corolla, base automatic, tinbox, but reliable. i decided i wanted a CB7, and finally found one - a 1993 LX, 243k miles, 5spd. my dad had to test drive it for me, as i had never really driven a 5spd before, but i knew i wanted it. i had a total car budget of $5k, so i bought it for $2200 (which was a good price around here) factoring in the cost of a JDM H22A plus a few other goodies (i was active on accord-racing at the time)
and so began my journey. my very first mods: JDM onepiece headlights, red/clear tails, cb7tuner decals, eibach prokit springs (but only in the front, as i couldnt figure out how to deal with the seized rear lower strut mounts). this was the car i first did my LED dashboard conversion to, since hey i was poor, didnt know how to do anything mechanical, and all i knew how to do was electronics. this was also the car i first installed an insight DRL module on. a few months later i found my JDM h22a w/ M2B4 on ebay for 2320 shipped. i planned to install it over the summer, but it took 5 months to show up, so i got it just in time for winter. so me and my friend dillon ended up doing the swap over spring break (took 8 days straight) while it was snowing out.
#1 - 1993 Accord LX Sedan, frost white
my old members ride thread for this LX
my hard drive based MP3 player with the screen mounted in the visor. the audio output was fed thru the aux input of my headunit.
and then i went down to Coco's house in NJ (on excalibur02's birthday) and traded interiors with him. i gave him my blue, and i took his grey: heres coco's members ride thread
and then THIS got to me. i couldnt deal with this anymore, it made the car pointless to work on, as this was something that could never be fixed. i wanted a perfect car, and this one could never be.
soooooo, then came my second cb7.
