my CB7 and wifes CD5

[Size9zombie]

Installed Cheddas Auto shifter cable bushings and pedal bushings on brake and clutch pedals today on the CB. Wow what a difference, I love it!

[Rilas]

The shifter bushings make a huge difference. I have a set for the clutch and brake pedals. Just haven't had the time to swap them out yet. Glad to hear that they really do make an improvement though.

[Size9zombie]

Very noticeable difference, the shifts are much crisper and more precise. The difference in the pedal bushings is also noticeable but to a lesser extent.

That heat shield turned out nicely.

Thanks

Filthy, pressure washing couldn't save this carpet, so........



Color change with SEM products Color Coat carpet spray paint/dye.

Black carpet is better-looking, anyway. I need to revisit that someday. I have my dyed carpet in the car now, but I also have a '98-'99 CL dark gray carpet, as well as the black carpet from my '03 CL. I need to make a day out of test-fitting them all and determining which I like best. Obviously the dyed one that came in the car will fit the best, but the other ones are so much nicer with the extra padding.

I would think the '98-'99 CL carpet would pretty much fit perfect. Yea I like black or dark grey interior better also, I'm thinking of doing my seats as well. Then I'll have black carpet and seats with tan and brown trim. What did you dye your carpet with?

Hey guys been a long time since I've posted any updates, I took a hiatus from the online world to work on some things at home. In the last year or so I have remodeled my whole house (the wife and I did all the work) built a 240 sq ft chicken coop (w/ 8 ft ceilings so I can get in it to clean it easier, lol) w/ a 900 sq ft run for the 29 chicken I have (fancy flock 6 different breeds), installed a wood stove in the basement, various wood working projects, I also installed Koni yellows and ST sway bars on both the wifes' CD and my CB, a T2T4 went in the CB at which time I removed the ACT sport pressure plate and installed the HD pressure plate, the sport pressure plate went in the wifes' CD with a new street sprung disc and ACT lightweight flywheel. Wifes' CD also got the 11.1" brake uprgade. With 6 kids all in homeschool also, time is one thing I am very short on lol! I hope all in this community have been well, I'm glad to be back. I have been slowly collecting parts in preparation for building the CB. Here is what I have so far. Arias 86 mm pistons 10.5:1 Web Cam (.396/.370) Supertech vale springs, RC 550 peak and hold injectors, AEM 340LPH fuel pump, AEM V2 intake. In the mail or being ordered/acquired in the next couple weeks, Pherable ECU, H23 non-VTEC upper plenum and TB, header (DC Sports I guess since I can't seem to find any other), 2.5 mandrel bent all the way back through a glass pack muffler, bottom end bearings, Prothane master bushing set, and adjustable upper and lower rear arms ( to get camber back where it needs to be). I feel like I'm forgetting something?! I will be taking the car down to nothing and I will be taking it back to Rosewood Brown Metallic while it is all apart.

Edit; Forgot to mention, The CB got a manual rack conversion and I deleted the A/C also.

That CD5 looks good. My mom use to have the V6 auto many many moons ago... car was crazy.

[Grumpys93]

Sounds like your going to have a fun N/A build. And 6 kids. Dude I’m guessing y’all don’t ever want an empty house lol

[Size9zombie]

The CD is all my wife, she tells me how she wants it, and I do it. I hope the CB puts down some good numbers, my goal is 200 at the wheels, but I dont know if I will get there. If I at least get close it will be a hell of a fun car. Last night I ordered an AEM wideband, an Autometer Z series oil pressure gauge, AEM fuel rail, OBX timing gear (thanks for the link Deev), a set of 17X7.5 +40 XXR 527 in Chromium Black, and a set of 225/45/17 General G-Max AS-05 SL tires. More to come, I also E-mailed Explict Speed last night to get a few more goodies.

[Size9zombie]

I would quote posts, but mobile isn't letting me. Grumpy we have 7 but only 6 at home now, it's great, always a lot going on sure but a ton of fun. My 14 yr old son told me last night that one of his dream cars is a CB7

[Grumpys93]

What tuning software are you using? I see you mentioned phearable ecu. I'm assuming you have read jdm92_accorn build thread? He made 249 n/a on an f22/f23a set up

[Size9zombie]

Oh yea, all of it. His thread is a great read. I decided against going with such a hot cam though. F23 bottom F22 head is where I'm at right now, stock cam and everything though, still pretty decent. I'm going back to the F22 bottom with this build. I haven't decided on a tuning software yet or which ecu equivalent I want/need, I'm open to suggestions. I was thinking Crome or Neptune.
