My 93 CB7

Thanks guys. A lot of other people dont understand the time, money, and effort that goes into these cars. You get attached to them, you know? And its not like I was done with it and sold it. I wasnt even done and it was taken from me. Just sucks. But theres always a silver lining to every dark cloud. So we'll see what happens.

Heres some more pics of the wreck. I got some up close shots and some of the bay so you can see the extent of the damage.









It'll buff out.. right? yeah, not really. I actually found some pics I took with my girls phone one day. These are the most recent pictures from before the accident.









Ugh.. It was a good run. Rest in piece little homie. Or should I say rest in pieces..? Annnd thats my comedic relief for this thread.

Damn that sucks bro, good thing your ok man. Down here in Texas if you rear end anyone it's your fault, no matter what the circumstances..sucks. Good luck on your next find man.

Sorry

all man all this progress and then this . that sucks hope everything is well with you

[High_5er]

Kilt.

So... update. Fuck stupids drivers. Please be mindful of your surroundings people. I was lucky and blessed enough to walk away from this one.











Police report and witness are already on my side. They said cars are replacable.. Ha, youre lucky I didnt have my fogs on. I wouldve been even more pissed. Insurance is taking forever. I'd love to buy another CB. I mean shit, I already have a ton of parts. Why not? Well you see, its incredibly hard to find a decent example these days. I'm just too picky. Im surprised I even found this one. We'll see though. Just gotta let this thing play its course I guess..

Soo, Ive been waiting on getting my wheels fitted. I decided to just get them redrilled becuase the offset was too aggresive with the adapters. Im getting impatient. Theyre going to get redrilled next paycheck! Also coming next paycheck: Speakers, Tires, Fender rolling, Subs.

My camber kit came in this week so I'll be throwing that on as soon as I get a sec during the week. I've also been slacking on the Accord because I've been trying to give my Bimmer some love. I should have my wheels fitted then as well!:bouncy:

I did, however, start to install some of the parts I picked up from Trevor..
Installed the BB6 shifter and boy was that fun. I do like the feel though. I can definitely notice the difference. I had a spare knob lying around that my boy gave me. So, I threw it on. It had some fake carbon fiber junk on it though. I personally think that shits tacky. I just threw some electrical tape over it lol.


I finally installed my damn radio! I was waiting for my girlfiends brother to send this damn thing to me for like 5 months.. Felt really damn good finally having some tunes and not looking like an idiot with my portable speaker on the dash, lol. No frame though. Looks sloppy...:angry:


My OCD kicked in when I saw that saggy, loose butthole shift boot slopping around under my knob. two minutes and about a foot of electrical tape later, I had it neatly tucked away

I wanna see those wheels on ASAP

lol you'll be good bro!

can't wait

Well when i pulled my wagon rear that gave me another 1'-1.25" more clearance

Here's an idea of how much i came out.. the inner liner you may have to hammer in some to stop rubbing


let me know if i shouldn't post my pix

nah go ahead. the pics help me get a better idea of what Im looking for. So hopefully, I can pull the rear about an inch or a little more. Then I wont need as much camber. Plus I worry about the inner barrel scraping the ground from stretch

you forgot a few things!

1. Natural camber when you lower the car 2-3 degrees there
2. rolling and pulling the fenders
3. the tire's stretch will add clearance

Stock camber from lowering my car.. no camber kit


If you want -7 camber or so you can use EF stock upper arms up front

I was really relying on that natural camber before I did my test fit but when i actually got the wheels on and lowered, I still had about 3 inches of the wheel poking out in the back. and 1.5-2 inches up front.

Im going to roll the fenders for sure and pull them a shit ton. I just dont want to ruin the body lines of the car too much.

as for tires, it is a daily so I need to have some meat to keep it somewhat comfortable. Which is why I chose the sizes mentioned above. I'm just lost because this is by far the craziest set of wheels I've had to fit (considering the size of the car)

For the fronts, Im most likely going to go with the EF arms but i'm more worried about the back..

[244Brick]

Test fit done! So

I'm going to need about 3-4 degrees of negative camber. Ive been doing research on the SPC and Ingalls kits but I'm worried I wont have enough desired camber in order for my wheels to fit.

Wheels are:

F 16x8 +15-20
R 16x9.5 +5-10

Im unsure of the exact offest because I rebarreled them. Theyre definitely poking HELLA and I dont wanna be sitting mexiflush. Any advice would be cool before I waste my money..

Thanks!
