    Losing interest in my cb7.

    I am slowly but surely losing interest in my cb7, it is just becoming very disappointing. I need some more work and dont want to put in the time, and i need to get my rocker arms re adjusted or somethign like that. Im beginning to belive that none of this garbage that ive been doing is worth it. Your opinion?

    It's all worth it in the end. See my car i was thinkin the same thing is it even worth to fix or just buy a newer accord. What im trying to do for a graduation present is for my mom and dad or my mom get me an h22a that would be one sweet grad present. But see i dont know where i can install it because i cant do it in my hard because of our new driveway and our garage is full of crap and when its clear its still impossible to fix a car in. So if i ever did that i dunno where i would


    wait what does this have to do with anything

    Keep it man it will all be worth it in the end.

          i guess thats why show cars end up always being sold... people lose interest.

          well ill just say this, that they cb7 is a great looking car, and it has enough aftermarket stuff to make it a fun car to work on. if u lose interest tho, theres nothing we can do

            Man, that car is too nice to give up on!

            It looks great... Now start making it fast! EVERY car will be a lot of work. Just remember that if you get rid of the CB7 that you put so much into already, you're going to be starting fresh with something else. New problems, no mods, no personality until you add lots more work, time, and money.

            Your CB7 is already original. Keep it up!

                I have been in that "is it worth it" zone before with my car many a time. I have found though, that it is because I am doing small things to keep my appetite but all it was doing was teasing it. Basically it was just time for me to do a big mod...like engine swap...or HIDs...or something of that nature. Just need to go big every once in a while to get my head back in the game. Plus hanging around this site and looking at DIYs makes me motivated again as well. Especailly when I see pics of other rides that are done well on this site. But in the end, cpmike is right and basically you just got to find your own motivation sometimes. Hope you find yours.

                    dude i see a civic air box?
                    What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

                    You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

                        i go through that phase every year..and every year, i end up doing something new to the car. there are days when i just wanna sell it, but i can't. although i'll be purchasing a new car this summer, i will keep the cb7..for how long, i don't know. but for now, its gonna get a face-lift in about 2 weeks

                            The car looks good- don't give up on it yet. If anything, paint the grille and black out the corner, bumper and headlights; itll get a whole new look.
