[cp[mike]]

it seems like your always working on your tuner cb more than driving it.

thats pretty much how its been since i got it. sucks.

damn mike, rigorous through and through. reminds me of me!! hahaha, except your accord beats mine far and few between.

haha yeah your setup has been an inspiration, its cleanliness made me realize i needed to do something to the knuckles and such!!

finished up prepping the knuckles and lower control arms:
- clamped-in the front lower balljoints
- bolted-in the bearings/hubs
- hammered-in the rear lower strut mount bushings
- pushed-in front LCA bushings

the large socket is a "1/2-ton 4 slot 4WD socket" from advance auto parts. it was the largest thing they had and it actually worked really well. i tapped the joint in until it was lined up, then clamped it through.


front knuckles are ready


rear lower strut mount bushings


front lower control arms


everything lined up. few more things to do before bolting it together.

I noticed on a bunch on you previous CB7s you had those 15" EX OE alloys. Do you have any sitting around in good shape you wanna sell?

[cp[mike]]

i believe i have a set of the 92-93 10-spoke ones as well as a set of 90-91 12-spoke ones. itll be a little bit before i can collect them together and get the shitty tires pulled off of them, and do you really want them bad enough to pay for shipping for em?

[typhoon]

The ones I'm thinking of look like they are 17 spoke. Essentially they are disks with a big center cap. (edit- OK...I see there are some very similar 12 spoke to what I'm thinking)

I'll PM you.

worked on the car friday night as well as last night.

i greased and installed the upper control arm anchors and balljoint camber kit (no pics)

i tied up some of the loose ends in the engine bay, i torqued the cams down, put the exhaust on, clear dizzy cap, and i decided how and where im going to mount the MSD box and coil (which i painted black) and where im going to route the wires. still need to do the timing belt and valve cover.

i put the radius rods & bushings into the lude crossmember and bolted it up. (no pics) its not a perfect fit, i had to make a few tweaks, and the bracket is still off by a little bit. the a/c bracket rested on the crossmember, so i hammered it down for room. plus it hit one of the corners of the radiator fan, which i trimmed off. i have a feeling a 5th gen accord front mount bracket would help, or i could just squeeze it in, but im probably going to go back to the stock front mount. also, the lude mount doesnt leave as much room to get to the slave cylinder bleeder it was worth a shot trying it out, as i already had all the parts laying around.

[blackcb7]

mike did you snap where the distributor bolts up too on the cam cap on the head in the last picture?
