I own 2 1993 Ex. One 5 speed and one automatic. Love these cars. I converted one to Acura CL front brakes. No more captured rotor. Nothing slows these cars down. Best car ever made

This was the first car I bought on my own and kick myself all the time for selling. Miss this car

I LOVE these cars. I picked up a '91 auto a couple years back and basically rebuilt the whole thing. It wasn't perfect when I was done, but the '92 5-speed I'm finishing now is going to be even better. The '91 had 399k miles on it when I sold it earlier this month, and my 5-speed has over 420k! It's bones are so good, I think I'm going to paint it after I get it registered and inspected in the next couple weeks. I think the CB7s were the last car Soichiro signed off on before he passed, R.I.P.

After 462k miles mine still runs fine!

I had a 92 CB7 from 2015 to 12/20. I never changed the timing belt. I knew it needed to be done but I didn't have the money to pay a mechanic or a place where I can do it myself. Once I finally found such a place, I got sidetracked with other car issues during which time the timing belt blew out, and took my engine with it. I didn't feel that it was worth paying to rebuild the engine on a car that had a bunch of rust and who's AC refrigerant couldn't be replaced. The AC cooling wasn't working as it was. I bought that car for $400 as a backup to my Subaru. It got me though a lot of repairs with the Subaru and and the Subaru in turn allowed me to fix my CB7. I came to appreciate how easy it was to work on the Honda. RIP my CB7.

I just got a 4 door today. I love the thing so much already. It's so badass and pretty easy to work on (Had a 05 focus before, was a bitch to just change the clutch)

I love cb7s. It was my first car at 132k miles which was a past down from my bro and I never did any maintenance drove it until timing belt broke at 231k. After 13 years(2020) I bought me a new to me cb7 66k miles. And I love it. This time I did the timing belt right when I got it. Back then I was just a dumb teen and broke..... nice video about the cb7 most underrated honda ever. Keep them cb7 videos coming.

I have the 1990 Honda Accord sedan LX 5 Speed Manual Transmission in the Seattle Silver color w/red interior. Thankfully, the fender wells are not rusted whatsoever.

Thank you so much for sharing this information!

discovered you on twitter first, for some reason. then found this gem of a video on a day I was dreaming about CB7s... thank you 🙏

Dude. I laughed when you said the asian Volvo 240 , because the 240 is the other car I want for a first car.

Good stuff! I've had a couple of these cars and agree with your assessment!

Bought a 91 cb7 when my z31 300zx died and I have to say I love it. I've driven mine at a sustained 100mph on the highway with no issues. It just plants itself and rides like a cadillac. I've gotten it up to about 115 with no issues there. I had a manual 98 civic and I deeply regretted selling it so im gonna make sure I hang on to this accord.

It's a superb car!!! I have two now!! 93 CB7 and a 92 CB9 wagon!!!

Hey. Always love seeing someone with a love of the CB7. Keep taking good care of her and thanks for sharing the love of the chassis. I'll keep doing the same. Nice idea for a video, Keep it up!

My 92 had the main relay solder joints go cold. The water pump started leaking so got the timing belt done at the same time. The rad developed a pin hole near the filling neck. The rotors I changed but it was quite an arduous task. A couple of batteries, drive shafts and exhaust systems. Lastly the shifter cable down at the transmission had to be unseized then greased to restore shifting. Other than that it's been quite exceptional in every way. Not bad for a car that's seen over 30 Canadian winters.

I own a 6th gen Accord 1998 but I frickin love 4th gen Accord because my mom had one as her first car a 1992 red 4 door sedan

Thank you for the advice, it was very informative.

I bought a 90 ex 5 speed, it has a bit of rust but other than that the body is straight... Its my first car and i hope to hold on to it for a while

Absolutely LOVE your channel name!

I love my accord check out my cb7 no rust simply clean

I own an FBT-i version that had the 2.0 liter engine instead of the American 2.2 liter. But everything fits, sans the head gasket. Since I owned it. It has never broken down on me.

You forget to add the "Main Relay" & Idling up and down on cold They tend to overheat overtime, especially in hot areas. It gets to a point where you no longer can start the or UNLESS you run a cord back to the Green/Yellow wire that comes from the fuel pump indicator over to the front of the car to the main relay socket, in other words "HOT-WIRING" the car so it can start. Idling up and Down during a cold start is due to the IAC sensor, overtime it gets super dirty and for some people tend to bother them and they have to take half of the throttle to get to it. But for me, I've had 4 of these and they all did it, and believe it or not, they did not bother me a bit. Every time mine did it, I used to caress the steering wheel and be like "its alright baby, take a deep breath" LOL. But Yeah, that's about it for these, I currently own a 1993 Accord SE Coupe that is under construction due to a bent valve. I bought it "as is" so since the body is super straight and it has very but very minor rust I had to save it. :) Nice video!

I subbed ... thanks I’m hopefully getting my “prospect “ checked out tomorrow with my mechanic before I buy it. Hopefully its a safe buy... 1700- negotiated down to 1500 95,746 miles on it

Have had mine for 9 years 💪💪💪

They are sensitive to the spark distribution and charging system so I try to replace with all denso parts otherwise you get a wicked vibration

some shops have a machine that lets you smooth the brake rotors without taking them off the car, would that work or no?

I an lucky to be out west where they use lava and zero salt. But the amount of dirt that is on this side of the country is unimaginable. Only had her one day so far, so we will see. Definitely the windows are what needs to be worked on so far. I’ve only ever changed a 2002 toyota highlander radiator and brakes on several of my cars. I’m getting the hang of it! (:

Love the videos! Just got my 3rd!!

i bought a CD8 SiR 95 coupe just yesterday looks like a mean car with h22a

I've never heard of them referred to as an Asian Volvo 240, but it totally fits.

Gears & Queers hahaha omfg 🤣 Anyways new to the channel, when you said that being said this being a 30 year old car and being satisfying to drive I couldn't agree more I love this car through and through

Got to love this chassis! You are right on point. I thought you would have mentioned the ignitor inside the distributor or the main relay that needs resoldering. Good video tho!

Ive got a cd7, love it, basically the same as a cb, even have the stupid captive rotors, but I see I can swap out the hubs with acura hubs to avoid this issue. But I am interested in owning a cb as a summer car.

Dude I was looking for one of these in the wagon body but gave up. That rotor and wheel carrier design is 😖!!! That would drive me crazy , great video I learned a lot!

Watching this as I talk too a guy about. 1992 sedan and I’m really thinking about it especially for the price!

I have a 91 se and I too love it but yes with those captive rotors, it is near impossible to find the steering knuckle brand new my one an only complaint just saying your points are popping coming from someone who used to sell cars love these old Hondas❤

I was extremely lucky when my timing belt broke not sure how I didn't bend a valve or damage anything else.

Just took some of my stimulus money and did a 90k tune up on old Betsy. Car runs fantastic my only issue is a slight seepage onto the ledge behind # 1 cylinder. 265,000 on all original car. 16 yr owner

Thanks 👍❤️

Did you ever figure out why it was making the light for the TDC sensor? My car does the same thing! Very occasionally!

I have a couple of 92-96 Preludes. Many similarities to the CB7 Accord, except we didn't get the captive rotors. I found myself nodding along to many of the points you made in the video.

I have a CB7 it’s my first car but let’s see how it goes

I've owned my CB7 since 2010 and she's been down for alot of that time .. but one the way back... Oh and mine is a F22b... Dual non V

Im from DR, my dad had a white 1990 LX cb7 since 94 all the way to 2015. I grew up riding it, long story short that car opened up my taste to be involved into cars, and then love them all. I moved to the US in 2009, and I wanted my first car to be a cb7 even though it never happened. We had to sell ours back in DR in 2015 due to having too many issues. Fast forward to last christmas, I bought a 500$ 1991 LX , seattle silver metallic with wine maroon interior, rust in the trunk floor and thats it. Needs some love but once I restore it...it will be my beauty queen.

Also my car has the dizzy slammed as high as it goes... I have a cousin that is the HONDA one... And he had a hard time working on it... He said who ever built the motor had no interest in changing timing.. so he locked it..and It will not start if you so much as move it a mm

You have a new subscriber dude!

I have a cb7 93 accord lx that im modifying into a little racer and i hate those captive rotors omg i didnt know how bad it was going to be so i gave up now im paying someone to do it for me lol

I have a 91 coupe LX H22A a swap ex trans just lil more to go and she will be done I LOVE THIS CAR

I had a 1993 Accord EX sedan that I bought used in 1996. God, what a glorious car. Foolishly, I traded in for a different vehicle in 2000. I still regret that decision. That Accord rode and handled so well. I now have a 2002 Accord sedan I bought in 2005 and I'm still driving it. Hopefully, I'll drive it another 17 years. The transmission is flaky, but it keeps going. A Honda mechanic said the transmissions are known to be problematic in this generation.

Just bought one I live in Cincinnati , OH so you know how challenging it was to find one rust free. But the plants were aligned and found one honey of a EX with low miles . The body's a little faded but no rust and the interior is mint . Burgundy color so I'm not sure how to define myself yet 😅. But think it's worth having maybe a repaint to make it perfect. Thanks for the info and thankfully 🙏 it came with all the services records and it's drives like new crazy 😜.

Take notes cb7 lovers this is awesome useful info for freaking free 😁👍 93'cb7lx owner

hey thanks for this video mate, im looking into buying one of these for my first car and im now wondering if i buy a cheap one if it'll be worth the work. helpful af

God bless everyone have a great day be safe

I got a 92 Ex with 173k and just did the TBelt, Water pump, all the seals in there too, the distributor, plug wires, oil change, cleaned out most of the intake too. Runs like brand spanking new. Pulls you when you floor it, not like a hellcat but way more than before. Not even a miss, even when I turn on the A/C switch. Yes I can here the ac compressor engage. I took it apart and put it back together several times because I kept missing steps. 🤣🤣🤣 Now I know it inside out. Only thing I have is even though every thing is tight and on, motor mounts too, is there is a vibration that I can feel in the seat and floor board when rpms go up. Like the engine is sitting on the frame but it’s not. I double checked everything. On my first test runs I didn’t have the timing cover on but now I do but I don’t think that would be the source. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Guys I need help i have a 1991 Honda Accord where can I all new weather striping

Great info. Thanks.

While I agree the captive rotor is not a good design, in actual fact changing a rotor is something you are unlikely to do in the ownership. I have owned my CB for over 12 years and the rotors are smooth as the day I bought her. The parts are just quality metal that does not wear with the pads (unlike new cars designed to wear out). In the video it sounds like a routine job that you will do when in fact it is a NON routine job. Provided you change the pads before it scratches the rotor only the pads need changing (designed to be softer than the rotor, just do not buy the hardest pads). Also, should the rotors be scratched they can be machined and machined ON the car

Hi.. I am getting one soon...are there other engine options to it apart from the 2.2ltr default... 🇬🇭🇬🇭

Had to follow... I own a cb7 an hopefully a cb9 soon.. great job... The topics I bitch about are there... Lol RUST... Of which I replaced one side and the other needs love now...

To pull these rotors you leave the spindle on the car and use a slide hammer to pull the hubs. Not that bad really.

My first car scrapped it😭😭😭 miss it everyday

thank you so much...

The only other thing is the lower tub seals they always go bad the top ones are easy the lower ones are a pain and p.s rust come in the package here LOL

Why place it with a Volvo 240 ? Why not a BMW 320i or maybe 520i ?

do you guys have a discord server at all? 🙏

Man i bought one and i failed on all of theese 5 tips haha

hello i just bought a cb7 in portugal but i can't get parts can anyone help me?

If you can't change any of these things yourself, maybe not get a 30 year old car. The entire distributed is cheap, just get a new one. Comes with the cap ready to plug in.

Man I got 3 of these

I my 92 ex won’t start did a distributor and still won’t start I may have installed it wrong I followed all steps. Went to warm it up one morning came back out and it wasn’t on and won’t start. I hope I can figure it out

Can you sale this car sir

I just bought one. Freakin Love it! Did a review on my channel too =]

God loves you

have a 92 DX Accord. Its very slow to pick up speed from stoplight, red light, and going uphill. No check engine light, any problem or is this normal?

One turbocharged one stick and one is a coupe

Where does the name “cb7” come from?
