Hey guys, thought this might be a good read for those who want to do tire/wheel and other suspension mods. I recently acquired a High-Performance Handling Handbook by Motorbooks Workshop by Don Alexander...and guess what...they have a feature on how to modify a CB7 and in it they talk about how well CB7's react to specifically suspension mods. So I thought i'd scan it and post it up so everyone can read. Another one for the CB7's !!! btw here's the book info: Book Series: Motorbooks Workshop Title: High-Performance Handling Handbook Author: Don Alexander Published date: 2002 ISBN-13: 978-0-7603-0948-3 ISBN-10: 0-7603-0948-5 yeah the pics are going to be big; dial-up ppl be careful ur modem might explode:lol: read on: :tu: question: is this CB7 a member of this site?...anyone know of this car?...its worth a shot. :thumbsup:

I didn't get a chance to read everything above...but here goes: by increasing the size of the wheels, the tire wall profile reduces while its rigidity increases to compensate for the reduced flex boundaries. So in turn, the tires would send through more shock form the ground...which is basically like increasing your spring rates.... this is why stronger shocks are advisable with lower profile tires, as is the case with sports springs. you don't really need new shocks...but some original spec shocks may not be able to handle the increased shock forces and could break.

haha...i'll c what I can do...

For sure Zz, we needed a nice enough place...better photo op that way. So far we have about 30 people formally attending. Countless others are bound to turn up. If you are interested post on this thread and I'll count you into our tally. C u there

have you tried gold wheels... like these Rota's black ones look good on a white car if they have somewhat of a highlight on them...like a colored lip these are also Rota's AutoX version or if money is not an issue: Work Equip line

Hey guys, For all you Greater Toronto members, we are having a CB7tuner.com car meet in early May and another one early August. Here's the CB7tuner.com link: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=69 the plan is to have it at Humber Bay Park near Mississauga. Keep a lookout for confirmation of dates and venue. Hope to see you fellow Sri Lankans there.

wow...longtime no post...just to update...here r some pix.... EDM rear fog light gas station ground shot Mcdix...u know they have some really good deli sandwiches ok my rear lights weren't working for a while...so needed some extra visibility...solution...Canadian Tire reflectors just parked a view from my room...thought this looked cool so here u go im planning on getting a set of vinyls to represent my DOHC non-VTEC goodness...tell me what u guys think...here's just a little photoshop work: and some more: now its winter here...and i need to keep this thing clean if i want to avoid all the grime and salt winter brings funny ppl good ol' winter grime... okay...just got a new camera...a good camera goes a long way....compared with my previous pictures ...the following turn up a lot nicer... enjoy :tu: really foggy day outside...thought i would take some pictures... weird...the camera doesn't see the same thing i see:confused:...i wish it did...it was beautiful outside! well here's what the camera saw. waxy beady ... sight for sore eyes... groundfloor... misty... sweatin'... brights... payin less... and yet some more...I love this camera! some more pix i took today...same Marina Park setting...just not that much fog...im gonna start adding borders to all these pics...just to improve the finish :tu: slanted boat ramp interior night shot park lights borders updated here's r some new goodies I got for my CB7 1st Gen ITR Steering wheel: mmmmm mmmmmmmmm wroooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm probably the most unmolested steering wheel i've ever seen... :boink: I got my CB a bong for Christmas...holy tapered batman:shocked: now how to relocate the battery :confused: finally... they arrived...:bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy: no matter when stuff is shipped to me....i always receive a whole bunch at once...weird:eyebrow: Thanks to yeamans17 for the quality short throw shifter. Thanks to lowfrostcb7 for the wicked license plate and the DOHC non-VTEC Stickers. Here's a pic of the vinyls with a backlight...they are white apprx. 18" long. when are they being installed...? good question...shifter next week...vinyls in the spring when its a little warmer and the vinyls will have some time to adhere...the license plate...never!...well maybe at meets and shows...but by law we need to have a real front license plate here boooo....thats it for now...will update with shifter test run next week. here's some pics I took today...always wanted to take some pics in front of this new building at Lakehead...it was too late really...too dark...its really nice at dusk with a little bit of backlight....anyways enjoy. if I may ask for some advice from the seasoned photography pro's....how do i get rid of the glare from lights...is it my crappy camera and lens? :confused: im trying to make the best of a mediocre quick snap type camera yes that is shiny ice...slippery too...had to take off on second gear. brother looking forth almost forgot...installed my ITR steering wheel today...and started taking off center console to install short throw shifter...will finish tomorrow.... please excuse the interior condition....i'm going to blame it on winter and not on my neglect...the steering wheel is SOSOSOSO sweet...it actually makes the car feel very tight.... b/c of the smaller radius, there seems to be more feedback from the steering wheel...but at the same time the gitters and shakes that i felt with the original steering wheel are gone...a definite plus...complements the updated suspension system very well. a highly recommended upgrade to a CB :nod: did i mention it looks hella good! ok... problem: broken aftermarket antenna, weak signal.... situation: broken antenna looks good :nod: solution: get a antenna signal amplifier...done disclaimer: FM signal amplifiers will only work on weak antennas...otherwise it may over amplify the signal and cause unpleasant static.:nod:

aah...my bad...that prelude had the A-series motor (at least in North America)...this is a different beast all together...good luck with the project! A18A1 1.8 12V SOHC Dual Sidedraft 1829 100hp@5500rpm 107tq@4000rpm 87 Prelude

Thought i would post up some pics I found of our crazy Toronto roads...if u like highway cruising...come to Toronto! enjoy Here r some more pics of Toronto's crazy highway system...courtesy of someone else on the internet.... enjoy...can't wait for summer :bouncy: :driving: The mother of them all!!! 401 I recently got my CB7 polished....need to protect the paint job from all the salt in winter... enjoy Before Polish: After Polish: Guess where I got the CB polished. Later that day... Winter In Thunder Bay...very post card

u know if u angle those door just the right bit...that car might be able to fly!

Messing around with springs is a bad idea. Try getting some good after market springs like Tein or Eibach. The suspension system is something you do not want to be cheap with. I would consider the Tociko HP (Blue) shock absorbers. They are low pressure gas shocks that have a progressive dampening curve. So, unlike conventional OEM shock absorber valving, the more the springs compress the more the Tociko HP's dampen. Very comfortable when u are just cruising, and very sporty once you start taking the twisties. enjoy the ride

Use your original Air tube and attach an AEM dry cone intake filter to it. The original tube is made of plastic unlike after market pipes, so it won't heat itself as much. So in turn the original pipe will keep the intake air cooler. Plus only having to buy a filter will be much cheaper. this is the only pic i can find:

here's a full plan of the joe cell...all u engineers out there take not... Joe Cell Plan by Andy another vehicle run with water:

here are some videos...enjoy Water Powered Motorbike Xogen Water fuel Equinox - It Runs On Water (Free Energy Documentary) JOE CELL VIDEO COLLECTION just muse as to why this technology has not become mainstream does anyone know how we can capture videos while they are playing off the internet? Any programs? Thanks

Here is a company in the US that is using water as a welding fuel. Impressive! They also have a $1000 unit to make cars run on water!!! Its unfortunate that this doesn't make the daily news here. Website: Hydrogen Technology Applications Video: Water Fuel Welding Video

Its like a bad dream!

Hey guys, recently I ran into something that is beyond belief. Many people around the world have converted their cars into running with water. Don't believe be but do your own research on the internet and you can find a lot of information on this. It is supposed to be very simple and I know there are a few handy fellows in Sri Lanka that might want to try this. You can start here: Water Powered Car Website Byron New Energy Wiki Also search Joe Cell on Google Video just keep everyone interested in put some pictures of several water powered cars. modified water powered engine...doesn't look that different :confused: waterpoweredcar.com pics of cars that run on water: Aquagen car Danial Dingel's Water Powered Car Stanley Meyer's water powered Subaru engined buggy

here's a rain shot...it is october here and only rain....it should be snowing already!!!...maybe its global warming??? rear wing at home

Hey guys I need some help. I am trying to find a fog light switch for my 91 Honda Accord and I was wondering if the 87-89 Accord switch will fit. This is what the 91 switch looks like:... Does anyone have a picture of the 87-89 switch? Thanks for your help Lokuputha

Actually that is Chuti Putha. Yeah that lip is pretty low pro. I probably won't even paint it. Just going to leave it black.

The 87 Prelude came with a B20 engine in it. The B20 if u guys remember came later in the 89 Preludes as well I think. This engine had very good performance specs: 160hp and 140lbft. If your friend can find a replacement engine from a later year (1989) and rewire the ECU wiring the car should be good to go. The B20 block is very strong and can easily handle modifications. Even today Civic guys here are swapping in B20 motors for added performance. Have a look at this link for Honda B20 information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_B20A_engine Goodluck with the project here's a B20 DOHC motor swap:

I just got this "BMW style" low profile wing from ebay... havn't installed it yet...but couldn't resist taking pictures...thanks to my brother for holding it in place enjoy

Ohhh....so sad are crash pictures! can't wait to see what it looked like in its glory days. here's one more

Thanks a lot Vtechman, The 88 Accord is not mine...I just ripped that pic off the internet from preludecan.com.de We'll c if I can get some Accord Hatchback pics up...my brother is looking for a car, and an accord hatchback looks like a great project.

Sweet 88 Accord hatchback! I love those...they look like Trueno's! Thank man....for sure...doing most of the work yourself is very gratifying... but I got my paint done by a fellow uncle who works at a Honda Dealership Bodyshop...no matter how much I may try to do body work, he will always be better at it than I. However, other stuff like my stereo system, rust protection and even body panel alighments I have done myself. And for sure I have to do the research that goes into sourcing parts... mechanics aren't really up to date on what parts are available for an early 90's Honda Accord.
