Yup.

Congrats man! That is a long time to hold onto a car.

She's alive......

Glad to see to your cb is running again. Any plans for it?

[deevergote]

Right now, just getting it fixed up and driving right. There are lots of issues left to fix. But I'll be more motivated to fix it (or bring it to someone to fix what I'm not capable of doing) now that it's moving under its own power.

its like putting on an old pair of comfy jeans or sliding into your favorite chair lol..well thats at least how I feel when I get back in if I havnt driven for a while, Im hoping when I can drive the new one itll be as comfy and well.. familiar feeling..maybe its just cause ive had to live in it in winter. Great success.

I declare today a national holiday for all CB7s

Congratulations, Mike. What ended up being the culprit with the transmission?

As a matter of fact, on every CB7Tuner Calendar from now on, April 13th must say in the square - "Deev Day - All CB7s must be in running condition if possible."

Good job getting it going again.

As we get older. I find I want to do less and less. I tend to get other people to do stuff that I once did.

Awesome!

Congratulations, Mike. What ended up being the culprit with the transmission?

It was the clutch hydraulics. I tried and tried, but never managed to bleed it properly. 93twodoorLX came over a few weekends ago and did a reverse bleed. That did the trick. The funny thing is, the last time he and I got together was when we first installed the master and slave... things came full circle!

Once we got that fixed, the car decided it didn't want to start. Turns out the plugs were so terribly fouled that they wouldn't fire. $12 in cheapie plugs later, and we're back in business!

Exactly. I never really loved wrenching, and I really don't enjoy it now. I love driving the car, but I'm not a huge fan of working on it. Especially since every time I try to fix one thing, I manage to break 2 others in the process!

[N9netwoAccord]

How bad are the flat spots on those tires? Glad to see it moving.

[deevergote]

Amazingly, not bad! I was expecting way worse. My friend pumped them up to 32psi with his little pancake compressor, and all is good. The Prelude Si wheels that Jak Frostwhite put on there a couple years ago need spacers to fit properly, but otherwise all is good (I traded him my CB7 6 spokes with crap tires for those Si wheels with good tires... I regret losing the 6 spokes, but it was nice to have usable tires without any money out of pocket!)

I now have to install my stainless brake lines and properly bleed the brakes. I converted to rear disc (thanks to tippey for that one... he did much of the labor as well as selling me the parts) and I haven't bled the lines yet.

I should probably replace all ball joints, bushings, belts, fluids... those tires are definitely about shot now... and I don't think I have brake lights at the moment (NO idea why... never had a problem with them before!)

So yeah... it's moving, but it's far from good!

Glad to see it up and finally running. How did it feel to be back in the seat again? I miss driving mine
