    So why are 4th gen. Accord called CB7's?

    I'm new to this site and the the 4th gen Accord. I actually don't even have mine yet. My POS Pontiac Sunbird's engine cracked, and I'm glad to be getting a Honda. The Japanese make smaller engines soooo much better. I should be getting my 1991 Accord LX Tomorrow, or later this week.(maybe even tonite!!) The dealer is fixing the windows and getting an inspection, and then the car will be mine for $1500. http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/newthrea...wthread&f=108#
    TU

    So, my question is this, why are they called CB7's. I understand that the CB comes from the chassis it was built on, but where does the 7 come from? Plus, is it only a certain type of Accord allowed to be called a CB7?

    CB was the chasis, 7 was just the randomly assigned number designation for a USDM Sedan/Coupe. There's no real meaning behind the 7 that I know of, outside of being a model designation.

      Booyah! another member for the cb's. Welcome to the site though, props on getting the cb7 . That's about the same price I paid for mine too (sadly I had to put a whole different engine in ) But im not sure but yea cb is the chassis, that 7 in it is basically to distinguish it from other international models.

      cb7 = american
      cb3 = japan/euro models
      cb9 = 90 - 93 accord station wagons..

          The Accord Family was designated the 'C' chassis code from the 3rd gen CA.

          and it went on to CB (4th gen,SM4), CD/CE (5th gen, SV4), then the CF/CG/CH (6th gen, S84, S86, S8x) then the CL/CM (7th gen, UA1), altho some letters overlap in generations (the CL1/2 was a 5th gen, having the S8x model code, has no relation to the CL7/CL9 and the CF2 was the SV4 H22a wagon.

          confusing? not at all

          theres a thread somewhere of the various CB variants. somewhere around here


          ooh, welcome to the family

          EDIT: why is this in beginner appearance?

            Welcome to Cb7.

            Make sure you pay attention to where you create threads as this does not belong here.

            As has been said, its just a code...there is no national treasure here lol.

                  I guess I can salvage some of my pride, and ask about these lights I found on craigs list. http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/pts/526751643.html these are fourth gen lights right? I told the them I would buy the lights if they were.

                    yea man.... just remember though the longer you own that CB of yours the more your taste will change. think about it when you pick up the headlights

                      Light output on those eBay projector-style headlights is absolute crap. Stick with your stock headlights and think about retrofitting a set of real HID projectors.

                        Are their any other aftermarket headlights that put out good light? People might like the stock lights, but I don't know how much I do. Don't get me wrong, there are some nice CB7's on here, but a lot of them look completely stock. I am thinking about buying an bodykit with an R33 front end to go with the lights. After a body kit, the stock lights may not look as nice.

                          depends on your taste man but as the other guy says after u have ur cb7 for a while you will notice why its better and how you are completely wrong when you say completely stock......and also yeah they do suck on light output if u want something that dont look stock try doing projector retrofit do a search aight....
