      Usually people who had these hondas were sleeping on what I owned during the late 90s - A 1993 NISSAN NX2000. I used to kill honda and integras..(really good battles though, lost some/won a lot to be honest) and I barely did any modifications. Had the NEOvvl on board though kept it stock and still would bust down civics and integras... I loved those days.. I say all this and YET my first car was a 93 Integra 4 door. That car was like the batmobile to me. I had it running on rails..

    Some fun facts about this car.

    -1998 Acura CL rotor-over-hub upgrade makes changing front rotors much easier.
    -Prelude front suspension is a direct bolt-on.
    -92-96 short-shifters fit
    -H22 VTEC Prelude engine fits right in.

      I have a 1990 cb7 LX and a lot of parts from bigger body Hondas of the same vintage are direct bolt ons. I did a 5 lug, 4 wheel disk, big brake, rear sway bar upgrade all with parts from the junk yard for $200.
      The parts I used from the junk yard were the rear spindle, sway bar, subframe, brake calipers from a 1995 Acura Vigor.
      2000 accord v6 rear hubs, brake disks
      2002 Acura TL-S front knuckles, hubs, strut rod, brake rotors, hubs.
      1993 Acura Legend GS dual piston brake calipers.
      With some drop zone springs (used on eBay for $100) and wheels off a 2004 Acura TSX(I bought off FB market place for $200) it brought the ride, braking, and handling into the 21st century for a grand total of $500.

    This guy knows what’s up. Thanks for having him on! I do miss having an older car that I have to keep up. No longer have the time to do so, but that was where I learned the most and felt the most proud of what I made. I was reminiscing about always having tools, coolant, oil, everywhere I went. I never got stranded but that’s because I kept the car up well. As life moved on I had less time for them and needed something newer to concentrate the experience on what I enjoyed most (driving). Now I just hop into the car and go...the journey has become in some ways less “exciting”, but the people I share the journey with are probably appreciative of that. There’s a time and place for everything and I am sure I will find myself in the future back under an old car, wrenching with friends, and doing rallys

    "I feel like it's more important to retain the experience that the car gives you rather than just trying to make everything fast." I love this quote from the Accord's owner. Today's cars offer impressive levels of performance along with overwhelming amounts of technology, but they will never be able to provide the same vibe and feel that older cars do. This has long been why certain people are drawn to vintage automobiles, with each era having its own unique appeal.

    Over the course of the last 32 years I've owned 7 Hondas. Three 1991's, a Civic Si, CRX Si, and a CRX Hf. The others were my first Honda, a 1986 Si, a 2006 Accord V6 sedan bought new, and the two I still own, my 2012 and 2017 Accord coupe V6's.
    The core Hondas, the ones that really had me happy just to go out for a drive were my EF's. Such excellence. Such great feel. Just, everything.
    I am so glad that so many younger guys and girls know of and enjoy the excellence of Hondas from that era where heart, soul, and engineering went into all Honda CARS. My 2006 Accord was probably the last of the "right sized" sedans from Honda to be "just right". Yeah, my 12 and 17 are faster, but they definitely aren't as refined. They're PRODUCTS from Honda, sadly. It happens to the best of them, it's happening at Toyota/Lexus right now. We all end up resting on our laurels. Hopefully the houses of Honda and Toyota/Lexus have a full revival. The CTR is a blip just to prove they could do it. But no kid working at BK has a chance of owning one, where as, back in the day, a Civic Si was possible.

    I have a 1991 Accord LX wagon, and I love it. IMO it strikes the perfect balance between practicality and drivability. Lots of room for cargo, surprisingly quick off the line, handles really well, and gets about 28mpg on the highway if you take it easy. It's a grandma car for sure, but it will surprise you if you drop it in to second and whip around some curvy back roads.

    Way back in the day my buddy had a 1993 Accord Coupe with a 5-speed manual which he let me drive all the time. This car can be best described as "the whole being greater than the sum of its parts". There was no single aspect of this car that stood out as being vastly superior to its competitors, however everything worked together in concert so well. The driving experience was so special, something almost impossible to quantify but if you drive one you will understand.

    My first automatic car was a burgundy 93 Accord EX. The drivers seat was incredibly comfortable and had its own armrest on the right side that folded up and down. I was 20 and it was 1999, bought it with 60k miles and felt like an absolute BALLER lol. I drove it across the country four times, solo. Sold it with 250k miles and only did front axles, brakes, tires and changed fluids at owners manual recommended intervals. People are entitled to their opinions, but it’s a scientific fact that these cars were fucking incredible!

Programmed fuel injected w/twin intercooler fans, 4 sp. auto. turbomatic transmission with lock up torque converter equipped with Sports mode, dual exhaust w/dual chrome tips, power assisted steering, power electronic front disc brakes, sitting on 205/60/15" all aluminum wheels, factory mud flaps w/Honda logo on them, front and rear body spoiler, double wish bone suspension, rack and pinion steering w/Mcpherson struts all around i brought it back in 1996, i smoked the windows 5% on it all around, then i put the real whole fender body chrome all around as well, i switched out the factory radio and dropped in a Kenwood receiver cd player then had the carpet box of 12" JBLs powered by a Rockford Fosgate punch 45 series amp. mated to 300 watt Pioneer equalizer Man this car was very fast 0-60 in 6.5 sec. that was very quick back then, i kepted the car for about 9 years, i dont know what i was thinking about by just letting it go downhill just because i brought a 1993 Pontiac Grandprix SE 2 coupe. Pearl white w/clearcoat and a red stripe body molding across the center of the car and it had the factory honeycomb cross hatch tinted rear brake light functional covers. but the Honda was Amazing and i just stop driving it and it went downhill the heads blew i fixed it then the engine went and i sold it like a crazed man, and now everytime i see one like it i just slumber.

Bought it from a lovely gentleman down the road who was selling it for $750. and I cannot express enough the immediate attraction I had to it, seeing it on the side of the road there looking rather pretty despite its sunken hood and a nice dent next to the driver's side door. It's in Incredible working order for the 170k miles on it and has only had problems starting on cold mornings, (or when I forget to flip the kill switch off). 10/10 would recommend to Anyone looking for a Reliable and wonderful first car.

They will rust into the ground before they stop running. A solid running EX, over 200k, one owner? You can still pay over $3k for one. The owner will not flinch. One of the best cars of all time.

    I've owned one since 2007, agreed on all points. This thing is like a space ship, especially compared to everything everyone else was putting out at the time. The ergonomics are just amazing, everything comes to hand perfectly and all the switches feel so positive. The materials and design are just excellent, and the engineering that went into the suspension and the engine is just superb. The f22 is so quiet and so refined, it's a gem. Not sure what's up with his but mine is like silk from idle to redline. I wish he had an EX, the EX models offered a rear sway bar, 92/93 had ABS and rear disks, air bag, 140hp/147tq, shorter transmission gearing, retuned shocks, softer interior fabrics, adjustable lumbar, etc. My ONLY complaint with this car is the road noise, but that's every Honda pre 2014..

I thought that coupe was the coolest thing! I eventually learned to drive stick on it. Never owned one but had a 95 cd5 sedan that I loved. If I had enough money and space for another vehicle I'd try to scoop a clean one. Truly a classic body style.

    I also have a 90 Accord that I bought of someone for $900 2 years ago. This is my 4th CB7 and as long as I live I’ll forever own it hopefully fingers crossed 🤞. Almost every where I go there’s always someone trying to buy it from me. It really holds a special value that anyone can appreciate if they ever come across one. I literally had someone honk their horn while I’m driving to as me what year the car was. Love the video and forever live the CB7 💯❤️

It's been handed down to me and cherished ever since. 248,000, just got her back up and running clean, cali. Want to do a trans swapp eventually, but I really want to upgrade the suspension, that's next on my list. Fun car to drive

      @@ronde1135 that's a real good question? Most of the people and companies are still around but people don't know seem to care anymore about legends. I was talking to a guy today who is building stuff with Bob Norwood. Freaking Bob Norwood. People have no idea that UGR and Sheepey wouldn't be here if Bob wasn't crazy enough to throw turbos on every 1980s Ferrari. Hartmut from renntech is responsible for the W124 AMG Hammer. Most important is Mr. Alois Ruf. These people are Tuner car GODS. I almost had cardiac arrest when that guy said Mr Norwood was helping him twin turbo a 512 tr or might be testarossa but they are building this thing as we speak. I was blown away. I had an unbelievable conversation with him. It is something that made me realize this socal media era is fine, but everyone should consider sharing their resources to honor and also make sure that future generations are the only reason you can buy or build the most radical car you can imagine because they spent decades of trail and error

DC sports products grace 75% of every 90s honda product that someone customized. Those people are still around if you find someone thank them for paving the way and passing on their love of performance tuning to the up and coming generation.

    @hserrato91 Před 10 měsíci

    I owned a 91’ LX Laurel Blue Metallic F22 with an H23 trans swap. And let me tell you, I absolutely loved the shit out of that Accord and everything about it.
    Always loved it when every time I popped the hood I saw the “PGMFI” placard stamped on the fuel rail. So bad ass. Along with also admiring it’s sharp and perfectly symmetrical square body shape. The space practicality and visibility from the drivers side. And can we talk about the hood and it’s perfectly sharp contoured lines? Perfection.
    It was so much fun and just so easy silky smooth to drive anywhere. Always just felt so connected to the car and the road at all times.
    Drove it hard everyday but yet at the same time I did so with great care. I took pride in pampering my Laurel and doing all maintenance, work, and detailing myself on a regular schedule.
    And all I can say is “baby blue” never let me down through out any kind of weather from any season. I’d made countless memories and had incredibly fun moments with my CB7.
    So when he said “it’s tugging on my heartstring..it’s like real love.. you can feel it” yes sounds cheesy and it is lol but that statement hits really hard and I understood it completely. It’s simply something you won’t feel.. not until you get behind the wheel in one of these.
    The CB7 chassis and the feeling it gives its driver truly makes it a one of a kind Honda legend.
    It just always provides unlimited Smiles for Miles!
