Not sure what to do with my cb7

[Accord27]

So i got the car 6 months ago,fell in love right away but then i got some bad oil leaks so i spent 512 to have all my belts done and a lot of seals. But i think it is still losen oil.Also it is an auto and today on the way home i gunned it and it read lined so i had to let off and go again then it shifted.

But the point of this is idk if i trad it in for a down payment or should i keep it and do a motor and trany swap and just make something that is fast and looks good..I rather keep it but any ideas?

Fix the stuff that's wrong, then go from there.

looks like you know what to do with your CB,(keep it). browse the forums, learn about your car, if possible go for a 5speed and engine swap, etc. it all takes time. all the good looking CBs you see here, didn't start out like that

[Accord27]

ya i know it takes time but i just dont want to keep putting money into this motor when im going to take it out anyway. If i keep it im going to get a B20 block and put on b16 heads with H22 trany

[Jarrett]

Good luck with that proposition. Go ahead and read up a little bit first.

exept Alex's, his was always minty fresh.

It's your car, do whatever you want. It's an old car. If maintaining and repairing it is too much for you, then perhaps you should buy a new car.
And reading your typing hurts my head.

[Straight Success]

3 options that come to mind. I'm kind of in the same boat with a non running car.

1. Sell it.
2. Fix it.
3. Motor swap with all new components.

[Accord27]

Ill make sure to fix my typing just for you bruh. Its not to much to handle just seems none can find the true problem and im spending money for things that dont need to be done.

[deevergote]

If we can't understand you, we can't help you. Bruh.

What stuck out to me was talk about a b series.

My opinion learn the car, no matter what you get new or used know as much as possible about the chassis. Advice don't go hammering on a cold automatic and if you still have leaks best be taking it back to that shop period.

Unless mint and low mileage in my opinion it's not worth the trade in just make a down payment.

[Accord27]

I talked to the shop and he said its nothing he did but i am going up there tomorrow so we can be face to face.Also now that i reread that it sounded like a dick comment.My bad

[SOHC-FTW]

Talking and he was sure? sounds like an idiot even if it's not something he did he should offer to look at it to make sure, like any shop worthwhile. Hope you got a ticket of all that was replaced, did they do the trans fluid aswell?

[KLEENKREW]

Lower it nice wheels and lip. Other then that keep her maintained she will run forever

[h22sparkle]

If you even trade it in you wont get anything for it literally.
