Next to the CB7




Le Story:

So I picked this girl up about two weeks ago, my poor CB7 was smashed by an idiot running a red light, so I figured I should put some of the insurance money to "good" use. I put a nice down payment and drove this girl home. I always liked the style of the CM coupe, and as an electronics nerd I absolutely love the 06-07 factory LED tail lights.

She will take a while to build and get to where I want her, and will never replace the all out H22A fun of my CB7, but I really do feel better driving a newer car which isn't rough as hell.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

B.R.03EX, They are morimoto H1 retros. I have had them in for about two years and redid them about a month ago while helping a friend retro his 2002 Odyssey.

More pictures you say? Smiley







Last one is the most recent retro.


Ody retro

Nice looking retros! I gotta say, those cb7's are really growing on me. Are you keeping and rebuilding it or did the insurance company take it?

Well, I never had the choice with the CB (my first car, was given to me) and I really like the look of this gen's Coupe. I'm young and don't have a huge need for back doors, so I figured why not!

Thanks B.R.03EX! I'm keeping her for my fun car. The plan is fix up the damage and use it as a weekend warrior/ autocross machine. The H22A is a very fun motor and its such a fun car to drive on F&F T1s.

Here is the damage to the CB, it was worth the $1880 to me Smiley


Shouldn't be to hard to fix, here is what it looked like when it was given to me...


and how it looks after a friend and I fixed it up.


Engine bay shot


Here is a link to my profile on CB7Tuner.com if anybody wants to see her full history.
