Hey guys. So I'm a total n00b to the Honda scene. For years I was always anti Honda and one of the biggest Honda haters around. Well, I've made it to the dark side by the purchase of my 1991 SE sedan which I scored for $800 on Christmas Day. Now, I've always had a secret soft spot for CB7s, so I was thrilled when I purchased this car. I must say, now I know what all you Honda fans are going on about. What an excellent piece of machinery this car is. Fantastic build quality, a pleasure to drive and a wonderful engine.
I used to work for a couple of Hondas parts suppliers back in Ontario and bad work experiences with them also put a sour taste in my mouth about Honda. But that's in the past.
When I picked up this car, it had and still has some slight body damage on it. The left corner of the front bumper is cracked, the corner of the hood was crumpled, the left fender was replaced and repainted and doesn't quite match and there's 2 big dents in the rear door.
So far I have replaced the hood, and picked up a replacement door, but I need to have it painted. I also scored an LX front bumper, as I also purchased a 1990 LX parts car from the junkyard...and it runs and drives and is a 5 speed!
I picked up a set of EXR rims too, but they are either unbalanced or one is bent because they shake really bad when I drive, so I am back to running my stock SE wheels at the moment.
Current mods to my car are small and limited, but are the start of the bigger picture in mind.
-Ractive superflow cone filter
-NGK plug wires
-Eurolite 9006s
-Clear corners
-Blue Honda emblems
-Sony headunit
-Black hood
It's got 209k KM on it, but I have no service history of it which is a shame. However, going by the condition the car is in, it was well taken care of for most of it's life.
Anyways,here's some pics,since this is all about pic whoring.
When I got it:
First little bit of work
-9293 corners
-EXR wheels,painted gunmetal.
-Blue emblems
-Replaced black hood
Newest mods
-Clear corners
-Eurolites
-Filter & wires
-capless SE rims
My parts car. 90 LX. I am parting it out, so everything is for sale. Inquire!
Future plans for my SE include a mild drop with coilovers and struts, 17s or 18s,nicer front lip,clear/red tails,tinted windows,full stereo,header & full exhaust and just keep it clean and simple.
Oh,and thanks to everyone so far for all your technical help on here. Been very much appreciated.
