Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

    Cb7 smash

    hey guys, bad news last friday my friend was driving my cb, i know it was stupid letting him drive. we were driving, came near a round about and he lost control of the car. i hit the kerb on the front left tyre. was pretty hard. hit the tyre on the side. then checked the front. the tow hook underneath was bent really bad. car pulls on the right a lot.
    got quoted arounnd $2000 to get it fixed properly.

    took me 6 months to find an accord in proper shape with no accident and now this.


    any suggestions?. will upload pics as soon as i get some

    thanks

    If you want to get it fixed I wouldn't have it done any way but the right way. And if it were my car I'd ditch it for another, especially considering a good CB can be had for 2k, even less. Something about driving around in a vehicle that was twisted and then twisted back doesn't sit well in my mind... structural integrity has got to be lost at least a bit there and you may get in a much worse accident down the line. I guess it depends on the extent of the damage; if it's just some suspension bits that need replacing, by all means fix it.

      He's in Australia, so the availability of CBs may be a bit less than in the US. $2000 to fix it may be worth the price, considering a good replacement may be hard to come by.

      It is true though, that even if it is fixed, it may never be the same again.

        yes sir. it was pretty bad. probably on the mechanical side, tie rod end and steering tie end (if thats what its called) would be at least bent, thats the minimum. theres more maybe. the front tow hook is pretty much bent. and the big bolts on the traction bar? (where the front engine mounts onto, the very big bar) are actually BENT, got hit pretty bad.

        yeh, once its hit, i dont like the idea of fixing it. its never going to be as it used to be. same with my civic after it got smashed, i got rid of it.

        but im always unlucky, my civic was parked, car ran into a bike and ended up into mine, both car and bike.

        now the accord. seriously took me 6 months to find that one without accident, low Ks, clean inside out.

        im not sure ill be lucky to find another accord soon, but my dad wants me to part the whole car and ship it to mauritius. doors, hood, trunk. engine, interior. we have a CB3 there

          im already looking for another one already came up to a dark blue one, looks decent. then if i dont find it, ill wreck the car and send it to mauritius

          ill have to check it out first. because the one i owned, had no rust. was put on the hoist before i bought it.

          i shouldnt have let my friend drive

            At least you'll have plenty of good parts for the CB3!

            You can find another good one. Just take your time and search. Low Ks mean less than good cosmetic condition. You are, afterall, going to be modifying and restoring the car anyway.

            "traction bar" is an upgraded part. The part you are referring to is the front crossmember. A traction bar replaces that part. But yes, I know what you mean.



            My car was hit before I got it. I didn't know, because it was repaired... somewhat. When I installed a traction bar, it wouldn't line up because the front end wasn't 100% straight. I'm still keeping my car.

              yep the cb3 will have parts. but because i will be going back to Mauritius to live there in 2-3 years, i might aswell wait till i get there and start working on my cb3. instead of building one here.

              yes sir. the one i have in australia, body was in perfect condition

              update with pics soon about the damage
