Cb3 F20a4

[dejan225]

I'm from Europe, Croatia, and I would like to introduce you with my car...
I must say that CBs are very rare in my country and it so hard to find parts for it. There is no junkyards of CBs like you have. I'm buying from ebay but sometimes shipping is outrageously hi.
It is CB3 1991. with F20A4 engine. I am seventh owner but it is in grate shape. It is mine for two years from now.
Here are some pics:








I've changed headlights to projectors.
Plan is lowering with Tein Basic Coilovers, change the taillights (red/clear), put OEM foglights, repainting.

press enter after each picture you post so they appear in a column vs a row, side to side scrolling is not favorable by many

Ontop topic, i love the 9091 EDM taillights as they are much smaller.

thaks for tip.

Yes, me too. I'd like to put RED/CLEAR taillight but EDM can't find anywhere.

[Tippey764]

Yeah im sure they don't exist lol

you could do a 9293 trunk swap, but finding the EDM garnish might be a a challenge if you can't even find cb7's in your junkyards

Hello, welcome, im from the UK, i know exactly how hard it is to find parts!

the suspension setup sounds good, you sure you need it painted? paint looks good condition, you could save that money and buy some more aftermarket parts.

The red/clears come on ebay in batches, theres none right now, might be some in couple months.

Not at all. Croatia is near Italy, Adriatic sea is between CRO and Italy.
Thank you

Yea, paint is in good condition. Maybe you can't see on pictures but there is rust on few places so it need to be cleaned and painted.
I hope I'll find one. Few months ago there was lights like I wanted on ebay just they was wide, not smaller EDM

Welcome aboard friend.

Thanks.

Oh nice! Good job and keeping the body in shape.
Keep it clean and I'm glad to see your keeping a CB where it's hard to get parts for.

Very nice. I love that color! I don't know if it's just the lighting in the pictures or not, but that doesn't look like any color I've ever seen.

I think you might be the first member from Croatia. I hope you stay around. Beautiful car!

[F20A CB7]

Please give us the paint code.

[HATCHing]

Welcome and nice CB!!

[9DUBWISE]

Yes very clean from the pics. Welcome.

[dejan225]

Please give us the paint code.

The paint code is B-37M. It's Florence Blue or something.
I must say that on this site I never saw this color.
Also must say that never saw red, green or brown interior except on this site.
I think in Europe is just gray interior but that's just mine opinion. I don't know exactly.

2 others thanks for welcome and must say that this is great site for informing about everything on my car. So don't worry, I'll stay tuned...

So, whats new on my car. Still nothing but will be.
I replaced instrument lights with LED but it is not so professional like I saw on DIY LED Gauges from one member, but here is how it looks like:


This is when defroster and rear fogs are ON. I hate drivers when driving with fogs and there is none of fog. So this is a reminder for me not to forget.


I bought rims and now waiting better weather to put summer tires.
Pics how it look on car will be for 2 or 3 weeks, after change will be done.
This will be summer setup:



I've plans to lower the car. Now it's on stock springs and shocks. I'd like to low for about F 5cm / R 7cm, in inches F 1.8" / R 2.8" to be easier for you, or maybe more.
I'd like to do it with adjustable coil overs, but it is not excluded to do it just with springs cause price.
I looked on ebay and must say that shipping to Croatia is way too much. For springs are 150$ and for coil overs around 350$. So if I will order something, it must be THE RIGHT ONE, you know what I mean...
What do you suggest? Which brand has best ratio invested / gained?
thanks

quality is bad cause it's from cell phone.

If you want to lower your car, do not use low quality parts, and do not lower the car on stock shocks! This will make your car very dangerous to drive.

The best shocks to use are Koni or Bilstein.
The best coilover sleeves are Ground Control (however, I prefer to use non-adjustable springs myself... H&R is my choice.)

If you want a full coilover setup, and you don't plan on racing with your car, the Tein Basic would be a good choice.
There's also a company in the US called Form and Function Autolife. http://www.f2autolife.com/products

They make very high quality suspension systems, and they are the only ones that have taken the differences between the 4th generation Accord and the 5th generation Accord (most systems are designed for "90-97" Accords.) They are also a smaller company, so you may be able to negotiate international shipping with them for a reasonable price.





I like that you turn the rear fog light off when there is no fog! So many people around here will run their rear fogs, bright front fogs, and aftermarket HID lights (that haven't been aimed properly) and it's annoying!
