Picking up a CD5 for 500bux.

[H22Artman]

like the title says. im gonna go take a look at it tonight.
i dont really know anything about it, but its a friend of my sister which is why its so cheap.

if the body is in better condition than my cb i think im gonna swap all my parts over to the CD and begin stripping the CB shell down for race duty.

just putting it out there.....

I still like the CB platform better, personally. I've only driven one CD, and it felt crappy compared to my CB. Of course, I think it was a crappy example to begin with. If I ever drove Velocifero's car, something tells me my opinion of the CD chassis would change considerably.

im still on the fence.
i saw the car. liked it. thought of how cool it would be with a H in it.
it didnt compare..... it was bigger. barely so, but bigger. just felt a bit more sloppy...

still couldnt get myself to picture gutting Jane of all her parts and leaving her as a shell with an engine.

i've always been really attached to CB's.
i've said it before that it was the car that kickstarted my love of the automobile.

to now get rid of a car that i have wished i owned since high school just sounds silly.

i cant do it.

Jane is staying.
maybe ill buy her a friend to share driveway space with.....

Not a big fan of the CD platform. It just doesnt feel the same when you drive it.. somethings missing. But for 500 you cant beat that! good luck bro

My opinion of the CD has increased significantly due to one particular car:

elaborate, boss-man.
what/who are we looking at?
i havent had a lot of time to look at the CD5 boys....

[deevergote]

Velocifero. Currently the only full moderator on CD5tuner.com that I didn't previously know from CB7tuner. Probably my very favorite CD.

Mmm.. I do love the 5th gens.

[deevergote]

Done well, I think they can look amazing. Mechanically, they're pretty close to a CB. The interior isn't laid out as well as a CB, IMO... but that could just be because I'm so used to the CB.

Done poorly... and they look like ricer Civics. I saw a CD today that I thought was a Civic.





I think I actually prefer the CD wagon over the CB, though... although it's VERY close.

[ExplodingCake]

More box , more sexy.

[GenDBlade]

i like everything about the CD except for the body. i just like the boxy style of the CB better. my sister has a CD and ive driven it and i have to say, it feels like a different class of car to me.

[Clean_4th gen]

A friend's CD5...



96-97 is my favorite bodystyle!

Mmm.. I do love the 5th gens.

Thats my boy cd he's from sac.

[zack_odom]

I used to own a 1994 Coupe. I luvd it. I remember it as being more solid than my CB in almost every aspect. It even had 400k on the clock. It was also much peppier stock!

[wed3k]

ive auto-x both and honestly, they feel about the same. both understeer just as much but my co driver actually almost got the cb7's rear end to come around, lol.

5th gen feels big and i dont like the way i sit in it. i prefer sitting high to se my corners
