ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

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.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). 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.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    change spark plugs, wires, pcv valve, distributor and rotor, change timing belt and water pump, check for any oil leaks, change engine and tranny oil & filter. should cost around 450 in parts to get it running strong again.

        Technically its a 90k service thing. So I guess not. But its so old you should probably check it. Crakcs. And then adjust it. Atleast from what I've read.

        You can go to local auto parts store to save money on the plugs, I saved like 50%. Get NGK though.

          Your car is 14 years old at least... so that rubber belt is 14 years old as well. Changing it would be wise. (of course, my 94 H22 has 110k on it and the timing belt is original... do as I say, not as I do! )

                plugs

                hey mate, everyone is recommending NGK plugs, and just to let you know, just get the standard NGK ones coz they are heaps cheaper and unless your really going for performance tuning just stick with those, the iridium ones are good, but i dont think they are worth the extra money really. Also, if you are podantic about your tuning, get a replacement air filter coz to replace them costs so much damn money, about $50 (I live in Australia though so it may be different, 50AUD = about 42USD), so i recommend getting K&N filter or something that is warranted for a massive amount of kilometres, it will save you cash in the long run. Also mate, if your topping up or replacing power steering fluid, only use the genuine honda stuff and dont let any salesman tell you any different. My father owns a honda dealership over here and he uses Cooper EFI filters as well, best way to go. Ryco or cooper oil filters are also pretty good, and a lot cheaper than the stuff honda make. If you are environmentally concious as well, get the catalitic converter sussed out and replaced if it needs it (Im a natural resources management and environmental science student so these things matter to me!!) Also ive found that plug leads make a big difference. In regards to oils, ive found castrol magnatec the best, but the honda stuff is pretty good too. Hopefully this info is relevant to you because the brands and temperature etc may be different here in Australia.

                Take it easy and enjoy your CB7 mate

                  In addition to this, should I get NGK wires or go OEM wires?
