Is your goal more form over function, a balance of both or function or form? See we don't know anything about you. You may be very well skilled or just starting on this road of empty wallets and depleting bank accounts.

My first thing would be to make the car reliable. Build a solid foundation to build on and then modify the car. You'll have less headaches and more fun with the car in the future.

Looks: Your best bet would maybe go through the MRT section and just start reading/viewing their mods. The Accords of the month are probably some of the better documented examples. You ultimately have to decide what feels right for you. Rather than all of us blurting out mods.

Performance: Really again depends what feels right to you. Mild/Mid/High NA, Turbo and Super Charge are all options.

A better question may have been "what mods did you find most beneficial and still happy with. Or what mods did you regret."

I was looking to go with more of performance and I was looking to go with the k20 with the k24 transmission but idk yet still debating

K series swaps can be expensive and difficult to do. Read the following re K20 information. A pretty good discussion was had in this thread.

As for f/h series turbo and NA setups try viewing the rides on the following threads.

Hey, did you ever fix your head unit issue?

[zZcommandoZz]

I fixed my brake hose just need to bleed them still. But no not yet I looked to see what my check engine light was and it was 15 can't remember off the top of my head what 15 is but that's one thing I might have to fix. I still have to find out why it's eating oil and fix the bolt

I'll take a video for you and show you what's up

[zZcommandoZz]

Lol oh the radio yeah I put a different one in and got it but it only turns on some times the car battery is dead have to jump the car every time I want to start it so that could be the problem with that

24 year old car with 300k miles and rust on the body in Michigan.......... no swipes I would save money to buy another car. For all the money you are going to have to put into it you can just get something else.

For example it would be cheaper for you to buy a K-equipped car than swap it in your CB. A 7th gen 4 banger Accord goes for like $5-7K now and will hold up much better than your CB. And it has the K in it. And doesn't weigh much more than a CB. Couple of cheap mods (TSX intake manifold, race header and bigger exhaust) will net you some nice power. Car won't be as prone to rust. You won't be spending thousands and thousands trying to keep it on the road.

Your video was set to private. Best place to start looking for rust is back by where the rear wheel well and bumper meet.

Ok now try it

That's some pretty extensive rust. If it were me and I really had my heart set on a cb7, I'd find a cleaner shell to work with. Without proper rust repair, you're looking at having that rust return in only a few short months. If you can afford proper rust repair, you're looking at spending way more money and time then that car will ever give back. I know modding is kind of a one way street once the money is spent, but why spend more than you have to? I hope you are able to make something work, good luck.
