when was this site established

[evil_demon_01]

I wasn't here for the first 6.

It was quiet. Very tight-knit... and just about everyone was clueless. Look back in old posts, and you'll see all sorts of idiotic shit coming from people like me and cpmike.

The great thing is that this site grew from a pure fascination with these cars. Everyone that joined early on, everyone that started the site, everyone on staff... every person involved was crazy about the CB7, and went crazy over every little thing. JDM was a brand new concept to us. An H22 swap made you king shit (which was awesome... because I was swapped in April 2003 ... I was king shit until Accord SiR came along... swapped in 1997, and boosted to about 450whp well before our first meet in MD!) Motegi M7s were the fad that everyone had... and people were all about Racing Harts. Nobody knew the DSM parts could be used for a homemade turbo kit. Nobody knew about tuning ECUs.

It was very close back then wasn't it, It seems so long ago now.
I mean everyone pretty much new everyone, It was awesome. Then more and more people came with new / more (for back then) "out there" ideas.
It just kept expanding to where it is now.

Haha I remember the "stupid" questions, there were only a minor few who really KNEW the Cb inside out.
Lol Sorry Deev (Yes guys another Mike ) I have to say it, But I still remember when you pretty much knew nothing (mind you, I was the same) . . . My have you come ALONG way

I know I havnt been here too long but, When I looked back at my old posts, It was some preety noobfull stuff, If i posted it now, I wouldve had flaming everywhere. Yet, most people were pretty nice about it back then.

[deevergote]

People are still generally nice now... Really, it's all about HOW you ask.

If you say "Can I add VTEC to my F22?" you might get laughed at a little, but people will answer, and help you out. If you say "yo git dis mah buddie sed dat i can put da vteckz on my accord motur n i wanna do it iz it lik turboz or sumthin? i gotz a rench so i can do it kno wut i meen?"
We've been getting a lot of that stuff... that THAT is where people lose their patience. You aren't expected to know a damn thing about the Accord when you come here... but I think it's only fair to expect people to have at least SOME grasp on the English language, and how to use it properly. When a guy from France comes here and says "sorry about my English, I'm from France"... and then posts something easy to understand... and then a guy from New York comes on and types something that looks like he just banged his head against the keyboard... it gets irritating! Especially when it's the 100th time that week that I saw stuff like that!


The sad thing is that the CB7 is cheap enough to attract the careless idiots, and has enough potential for those careless idiots to want to modify it. It's not old enough yet to be back in enthusiast-only territory.





And Colin... I was worse BEFORE CB7tuner! Back in the early days of HondaHookUp.com, I was asking stuff like "can you turn a turbo off?" I quickly learned that you can't... and now I know that, in a way, you can!

This is only one of only a few forums with such a good a community and source of information.
The others are a Mercedes-Benz 190E forum 190Revolution
And a Honda Civic forum ClubCivic, which wasn't quite as good as 190Rev and here.
Glad I stumbled on this place now that I have my car.

[1990accordex-r]

I think their was an anime where he turned a turbo on/off.

I used to think that the mods planned meets for wherever the members are.

[deevergote]

ATX used to plan all the Mid Atlantic meets.

I'm just much lazier than he was!

I had 6 Mercedes 190E sold from under me, so I was on 190Rev all the time. Now I'm always on here, and occasionally on 190Rev because I'm still wanting to pick up a 190E for a second car and keep the CB as a DD.

Oh, and I didn't become a mod until February 2nd, 2004. I quickly pulled cpmike up with me, to be followed by AccordWarrior and PwrUsr. Yes. All Mikes.

that's weird

Just show maturity, leadership, knowledge, and the willingness (and patience) to help others.

I have a rotating list of people that would be good moderators in my head... once in a while, I see the need for one of them to be made a mod, and it happens.

okay. i was expecting there to be an application, and a written and physical test. kinda like being a CB7Tuner police officer.

$15000 in small, unmarked bills... or a fully legal Nissan Skyline GT-R of any vintage will also get you instant mod status. Hell, the GT-R would get you instant admin status!
