Default Wow I'm so MIA

I seriously don't know where to post regarding this , but I decided to put it here anyway.
I totally forgot that I'm a member here. Last login was on October 7, 2008.

Long story short. My CB7 is long gone. I junked it back in 2009 because it was being a money pit and I had to let it go.

Link to my original thread regarding the CB7:

BEFORE ( circa 2013 )


AFTER ( Current )




BEFORE


AFTER


Engine / Interior are all stock. No need to throw in an intake since it will be useless without a proper tune.
I did put on some mufflers, because we all know we want to hear that V6.
Audio system is fine for an OEM setup. Didn't want to go aftermarket, because I don't want to spend $$$ when I only need the auxiliary to plug in my phone.
Also, the OEM sounds very good as it is. No need for bigger subs , tho I may change out the speakers to give it more clarity.

Currently had some fouled spark plugs. Very common issue for the V6-VCM's. Done under warranty.
I'm just hoping it would happen again so Honda will replace my piston rings and possible engine block.

Other than that , the car runs fine for an economy tuned V6. Not a fast V6 on the 270HP range , but does the job when making a quick pass.
After all , if I ever wanted a fast car I could have got something else.

Car is lowered on Function And Form T1 Coil-overs. Adjustable camber arms are installed for the rears only.
The rears are notorious for having massive camber and toe out-of-spec issues once suspension is modified.
To complement the rear , I installed a 2012 Acura TL sway-bar 19MM. Stock Accord rear bar is 15MM.
It's a night and day difference and only cost me $80 altogether. No need to spend $300 for an aftermarket rear sway bar.

Front grille is an Authentic Modulo (International version of the North American HFP) which came from Australia.
Rims are Buddy-club Racing P1 Spec-II 19x9 Front and 19x9.5 Rear. Matched with Buddy Club Neo Lug Nuts.

Yeah Sonoma County.


BEFORE:





AFTER:





Ride height is temporarily raised due to intense tire rubbing on fenders. Will lower back down once fender rolling is completed.

I'm MIA from the Ford Fiesta Faction. Never will own one again. Was very active there because of all the problems I had with it, as well as all the problems other Fiesta's have. Anyone out there, don't every buy a Fiesta. Unreliable would be an improvement.
