Hey everyone, I have owned this car for a year now but have recently acquired modding/tuning as a new hobby/interest of mine in the recent late summer through early fall months. I kinda just freelanced it a few months after I bought the car, but recently, I'm getting more and more into it. It might not look like much right now but I have big plans for it and I'm still proud of what I have! (Please don't mind the poorly painted kit, rust and other body flaws I'm currently working on getting these done). It has 180xxxmi and is in excellent condition and performs wonderfully, though being an auto since my clutch knee blew out due to an accident. It's damn quick for an auto though! She has never stranded or failed me unless it was my own stupid fault, I have owned 4 cars before this one and my CB7 has by FAR been my most favorite! I will be driving her until she dies, and I have feeling that won't be for a long while. I am ridiculously obsessed with this simple little car!

I have big plans for this little car!
One of them is repainting the entire car, haven't decided what color yet (definitely going to be satin/flat regardless) but lately I've leaning towards greens but I have been debating with freshening up the red and making it satin, as would the green. With greens I would either pick olive drab or a lighter type green (but not neon-y) for the body with bronze and black accents. Still deciding there. I would also like to paint the valve color, still not a clue what I'd paint that yet.
I'd also love to get the kit put back on my car, I took it off because it started looking bad when the all paint began peeling and I also decided that I didn't like mis-matched kits. Here's a pic of when I had it on before I got new wheels as well:
I also want to get aftermarket heads and tails, which I have already picked out, and a second set for rims. There's a ton of interior changes I would like to do, mostly fabric stuff though.
For the engine, I like to keep it pretty low maintenance, so I can't really think of what else I could add performance wise while keeping it minimal maintenance.
Suggestions for appearance and performance would be awesome! Especially DIY's!
Also, quick Q since I can't seem to get a clear answer. With my engine being F22, does that actually make it a VTEC even though it's not plastered all over it like I'm used to seeing VTEC motors? Or am I imaging things?
Thanks in advance
