| April 2009 Ride Of The Month. |
Congrats to Josh for winning ROTM for April 2009!Here are some questions he answered regarding him and his ride.Make sure to visit his thread to view his full mod list!
What has inspired you to put as much effort as you have into your car?
I traded my 240sx for this car to get out of the tuner scene. But, after seeing modified CB7s on various websites, I caught the "bug".
About how much have you spent on your car?
Not enough. I wish i could spoil it a little more.
What type of occupation do you have?
Cricket Wireless.
Honestly, what do you think of JDM, EDM, and USDM?
Just another fad that will fade in time. I could care less what a car looks like, as long as it all flows together nicely.
Would you represent a MYCB7.COM sticker on your car?
Definitely!
How long have you had your CB7?
Since December 2007.
Have you had any major issues with it in general or when doing modifications?
Worst issue I've had was dealing with rusty bolts when doing my suspension.
How do you feel about being MYCB7.COM Ride of the Month?
I feel great about it. Makes me proud to be a member here and to drive an old grandma car.

| March 2009 CB7 Ride of the Month |
Congrats to Lil'B for winning ROTM for March 2009!Here are some questions regarding him and his ride.
What has inspired you to put as much effort as you have into your car?
I love to mod cars!! I always put time and love into my car even if its a beater. lol Car forums like this one REALLY helped me to get ideas from, so THANK YOU everyone!!
About how much have you spent on your car?
I know I'm well over 3k! I have put almost nothing into the motor except regular maintenance. I see no need to since I have a motor 5 speed swap in the future. Oh and that 3k is in parts not labor!! I do my own work!!
What type of occupation do you have?
well unemployed right now lol! I''m in and out of Warehouse/Distribution jobs. Thanks Economy!! lol
Honestly, what do you think of JDM, EDM, and USDM?
I don't think much of any of them to be honest. I do my own thing and I think everyone else should to. A nice JDM, EDM ride is also very nice too!!
Would you represent a MYCB7.COM sticker on your car?
Hell yeah I would!!! I always give respect and shout outs to who have help me get my car to where it is today. Mycb7.com has definitely helped me get there.
How long have you had your CB7?
2 years and counting!!
Have you had any major issues with it in general or when doing modifications?
nope not yet (knocks on wood).

| January 2009 CB7 ride of the Month. |
Hey guys... Before you read this, please note that I asked Damien to give me recent photos...and he did! So look past the wreckage and look on what he is trying to finish. Thanks!
Before i start i just want to say thanks, and the car is not yet complete, so i fully understand if you want to wait or choose someone else....
What has inspired you to put as much effort as you have into your car?
i would have to say a good friend of mine, west side accord, watching and helping him with his cb7 really inspired me to do stuff with mine. he was actually the person who convinced me to buy mine in the first place.
About how much have you spent on your car?
don't know exactly, probably around $4000.00 without purchase price.
What type of occupation do you have?
sign writer. we make signs for business' i program and run a 3 axis cnc router, and take care of all the painting.
Honestly, what do you think of JDM, EDM, and USDM?
i think the jdm thing is really overrated. if people wear really serious about it there would be a lot more right hand drive accords around. I'm trying to do as much usdm things to mine as i can. but i wouldn't mind getting a set of edm side moldings.
Would you represent a MYCB7.COM sticker on your car?
hell's yeah...
How long have you had your CB7?
4 years this past December.
Have you had any major issues with it in general or when doing modifications?
i have had 2 issues both on modification. when i did the rear disk swap i got the parts from a right off car, and it turned out the one side was really bent. took 2 months to find another.
when i built and installed me h22, first the crank seal cracked, after that i put the balancer shaft belt on to tight and seized the oil pump, and after that about 3 weeks of driving i blew an oiling ring.
How do you feel about being MYCB7.COM Ride of the Month?
gave me a pretty big boost, i defiantly don't want to let anyone down now. I've gotta make sure that i keep going above what everyone is expecting.

| Honda Insight to make world debut |
The all-new 2009 Honda Insight hybrid will make its world debut in January at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The five-passenger, five-door Insight will go on sale in the spring of 2009.
The Insight is expected to have annual global sales of 200,000 units per year - approximately 100,000 in North America - and will utilize a new interactive, driver-focused fuel economy enhancement technology named the Ecological Drive Assist System (Eco Assist™).
A leader in the development of cleaner, more fuel-efficient mobility products, Honda introduced to market the first mass produced low-emission gasoline vehicles; America's first commercially produced gas-electric hybrid car and the world's first EPA-certified hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle, the FCX. In 2007, Honda was named "greenest automaker" by the Union of Concerned Scientists for the fourth straight time.

| Deception Pass, WA Multi-Forum Meet July 27th |
Hello Everyone,
This is directed more toward the Northwest Members of MYCB7.COM. There will be a Multi-Forum Meet on July 27th 2008 so mark your calenders. It will be at Deception Pass out by Anacortes, WA. I will be driving up from Everett, so if anyone wants to tag along, get in contact with me.
I would like to see some CB7's at this event. There will be Nissan's, Subies, Mitsubishi's, Toyota's and other Honda's. So don't miss this event, could be over 100 cars!
You can find more information here: http://nissanpacific.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3974
There will also be a fund raising event to show that we aren't just numskull tuners.
QuoteI have decided to do a fundraiser build with this meet. I will be talking to my Vinyl Supplier tomorrow and see how much it would cost to get vinyls of "Cancer Awareness" made to be placed on the side of our vehicles. I will then look for sponsors to receive pledges etc. for every mile that we travel with the vinyls on and per a car.
All the money will be going to Children's Hospital in Seattle. I'm still in the process of making/finalizing designs and everything and getting in touch with everyone. So i'll update this post.
Ive already talked to Keenan and hes down for this idea.
I need input FAST as this needs to be done and setup by wednesday so i can go around getting pledges/sponsors.
For more information contact ~Geeky~ at NissanPacific, or at 425-761-4824.

| CB7 of the Month March 2008 |
For the month of March 2008 we had once again, another tie for CB7 of the Month. The two winners were Blazeteck and ILoveMyHonda, both fairly new members of the community. I would like to congratulate both of them for joining MYCB7.com and achieving this status so fast.
Blazeteck:
How did you hear of MYCB7.com?
I was searching for a CB7 website and I came along this one. Great site.
What has inspired you to put as much effort as you have into your car?
My first accord was a 1987 hatch. I loved that car but when the engine died on me ( 354k) I wanted a newer accord. My mother had a 90 CB and I wanted to get one really bad. So I got one for $600 ( 91 SE )
well this is my 13th accord. The first one I had a lot of problems (91 SE) but I didn't want to sell it. so I junked it and told my self it will come back but better than before. After a few accords later this one was my best looking accord ever!!I'm still putting work into her and won't be sold anytime soon.
How much have you dropped into your car (money wise)?
$3800 including the car and leather seats.
What type of occupation do you have?
Computer Tech ( 10 years now )
Do you represent a MYCB7.COM sticker on your car?
Have it on both side windows :)
How long have you had your CB7?
Will be a year in july for this one. But have owned a CB for 6 years :)
Have you had any major issues with it in general or when doing modifications?
The muffler and the bearings were my biggest issue. so far nothing else and I hope it will last me for a while, close to 200k SOON!
Doing the door panels was kinda a b*&t but I was able to do them without having to pay someone to do it(expt the leather seats).
How do you feel about being MYCB7.COM Ride of the Month?
It feels great! Even the tie did not get me mad at all. The hard work I have put into the car has paid off :)
ILoveMyHonda:
First off, how did you hear of MYCB7.com?
I was searching around for pics of 1991 Accords on Google and happened to come across this site. I was already a member of a few Acura TSX forums, so when I found this forum for the CB I had to join!
What has inspired you to put as much effort as you have into your car?
Well, I recieved the car in 1998 as a hand me down from my parents, who purchased it new in 1991. At first it was just so I can go to and from school and work. My friends got cars for graduation too, a new Civic hatchback, a CR-X and a '97 Accord. So while they were modding their cars and joining "teams" I started to look for mods for the CB, to join the fun! Back then looking for parts was almost slim to none. But I was able to obtain stanley clear corners & bumper lights (hot back then BTW haha) a bunch of suspensions parts and rims, and even some all clear tail-lights. So I guess that's when it started. After that "phase" it was more trying to keep it maintained and able to take it in the twisties, hard! I love the turns!
It went from "rice" to nice over the decade. My inspiration now is to keep it clean and simple....and keep it until the wheels fall off!! (Which I hope doesn't really happen haha)
How much have you dropped into your car (money wise)?
Over the decade of ownership it's hard to keep track. If I were to estimate, I'd prolly say close to $5-6,000, minus gas (who else remembers a fill up only costing $20?!). But this might increase in the future....*cough*H22*cough*
What type of occupation do you have?
Well I used to be an Auto Tech. at a Stealership , but right now I'm on disabilty. Long story, but I hope it's a short recovery.
Do you represent a MYCB7.COM sticker on your car?
I have a pair, and I would, I just don't know where I want to put them yet. Sticker placement is a crucial mod!! Haha
How long have you had your CB7?
10 Years this past February =) But it's been in the family since new!
Have you had any major issues with it in general or when doing modifications?
Not so much, the one that gave me the hardest time would have to be, installing the Sidemarkers & CAI. I didn't have a dremel or hole saw at the time, I was only 20yo so I barely knew what I was doing. So I drilled a bunch of holes next to eachother for the CAI, and covered the bare metal with some nail polish, put door edging around it and called it a day. It's held up ever since, guess I got lucky. Haha
How do you feel about being MYCB7.COM Ride of the Month?
I think it's great! I mean, I know my car ain't much and it doesn't have an H22. But to have this honor is awesome, especially since I've hung on to her for so long, people always ask "why do you still have that car?", "Cuz, it's sentimental value is too high." So, I feel like she's getting the recognition she finally deserves! Thanks again! And congrats to "Blazeteck" as well, that interior is awesome man!

:: 4 years
Have you had any major issues with it in general or when doing modifications?
