My CB7 & Why I Love It (1990-1993 Accord)

[@broganhogan3469]

As I was watching this, nodding my head have to agree with everything you said, they are timeless, stupid reliable, easy to work on.... oh man I love seeing these cars. I bother so many old people who drive these that I see at church, work, grocery store, such great cars and EVERYBODY loves their CB7. I feel like the CB7 is one of the few older classic Hondas you can buy secondhand and still find stock/great shape.

[@chancelangone9727]

For sure. Civics are almost always beat to death, oddyseys ragged out from family wear and tear.... Accords tend to be well kept by their owners.

[@orionyesliketheconstellation]

I love my cb7. It was in an accident with the first owner in 2013, but it's still in fantastic shape at only 128k miles

[@vwestlife]

This was the last world Accord (before they split off the North American and Japanese versions) and the last generation with distinctive styling, before it became a generic blob with an H on the grille. (And more recently, a big gaudy mess with ugly angles everywhere and huge heaps of chrome.)

[@Revi0us]

You don't give the CD5 enough credit.

[@joseescobar6298]

VWestlife I been watching your videos for years and I never though you would be into cb7

[@Creeperboy099]

VWestlife I would say the 5th generation was last. When I think of Accord, I always think of the silver ‘97 LX our family used to own. Any newer model (or one powered by the ubiquitous K series) seems like a totally different car.

[@skateorhate57]

@@Creeperboy099 nah I have an 04 accord v6 sedan. It handles beautifully. I can take corners in it faster than my stock 91 Honda Crx. Power is excellent for an Accord. My dad rode in it and is buying it from me lol. Accords have always been amazing. 260k miles and drives absolutely wonderful!

[@Creeperboy099]

skateorhate57 I guess the 6-7th generation is also alright

[@incognitotorpedo42]

I have a 92 that I considered restoring, but I live in the rust belt, and literally every cb7 around here has rusted quarter panels, mine included. The cb7 is a fun, quick, good handling car. I really like it a lot.

[@durojahyehamilton5911]

I love the way a old honda starts

[@michael.w92]

haha we are like the same person :) best part about these old Hondas is that timeless look you referred to and that epic stater sound... man I feel so sorry for young people these days who will never experience or understand this era

[@mkm230]

It's a shame for sure...I'm gonna keep mine for as long as humanly possible!!

[@ogsmokey187]

Hey man, I'm 17 and I absolutely love the cb7's. So much in fact that I own 2 coupes! they're a blast to drive, especially with a standard (manual) transmission and work on! I'm taking on a challenge of changing my auto cb7 to manual soon. And Like he stated, "that timeless look" is my favorite of all the hondas ever produced. I guees I'm a part of the new generation, you coud say, But I enjoy every single thing from these 21 year old cars. They're amazing! 👍

[@mkm230]

ogsmokey187 What year are yours? I used to have a '93 sedan that my best friend now drives. Well over 260k and still going strong! These things are bound to become future classics, they're hard to find even today unmolested. Good luck on your manual swap and thanks for watching!

[@ogsmokey187]

mkm230 really late reply. But i have a 93 coupe. (I was so lucky to get it as clean as it was. It was bone stock like yours in the video, unmolested) and i bought a 91 coupe in pretty rough shape. The engine was knocking real bad so that's where my transmission swap is coming from. I love my cb7 so much that i plan to preserve it and have it as a weekend car in the near future. I don't post videos much on KZbin. But i do alot on instagram. If you have one you can check out my cb7 and follow me if you'd like! Username: martindjnandez1

[@crackseller321]

i most definitely agree

[@disilicide8296]

I've got a '91 LX Coupe 5spd, with nearly 282,000 miles. Ive driven this car for the last 20k miles and really wish someone didn't screw so many unfixable things up. These really are my favourite cars. I'll have to say that one of my favourite things is the useful dash in the non-airbag equipped models. Its nice being able to use all that space for something.

[@MAGNUM05]

Those things last forever!

[@henrypacheco9048]

I always loved that ding dong chime too

[@BokoTheChocobo]

that F22A1 engine is pretty bulletproof, another reason to love my 92' CB7 accord. :)

[@codyaguirre9215]

Daniel Wood besides the leaks from the spark plug tube seals and distributor or the idle air fuel issues they are pretty damn tough

[@fmifu4100]

These and Acura legends are both iconic early 90s hondas. Now over 30 years on a lot of them and they are still chugging, love these cars always will

[@Eldomibori]

I have a 93’ EX wagon in immaculate condition. Been in my family since new. And still smells new inside. It was my grandfathers car and he barely ever drove it!

[@David777111]

I have a 93 Honda Accord EX 5 speed coupe. The next door neighbor wanted to buy it for a thousand dollars. I told him it is not for sale.

[@Kaiser187]

Just bought a 93 accord with 47k on it today for $3500 it is clean as fuck inside and out just a few scrapes here and there but nothing major.

[@grand_vacation]

Do you still have it?

[@jesselanyon246]

my girlfriend has the 1993 SE, all leather interior in mint condition, it's like an acura inside!! plus the SE wheels are very sexy. such flawless design ,and where things are put inside and out is impeccable. is by FAR the most durable accord Hondas ever made. not to Mention I believe the 93 was the first to come with dual air bags!!

[@mkm230]

Fun fact, only the SE trim came with dual airbags! Everyone else who bought the lower trims got to tool around with just one.

[@xxrevansblackopsxx]

So cool to see someone own my two favorite cars, Crown Vics And cb7 accords. Take care of them because you're lucky to own them in such good condition.

[@Creeperboy099]

I like accords, more specifically the facelifted 5th generation. They are my favorite car for one main reason- Nostalgia. Also, they are of course very reliable and are decent cars in general. To add, they are a reminder of simplicity and are very humble. Not to mention, they are easy to work on. In fact, a 1997 Accord LX IS my dream car, other than any other JDM legend or overpowered exotic car.

[@Dusk-87]

Thinking about getting a 1992 accord... what do you think?

[@Scientists_dont_lie]

I bought one one month ago. A 1992 accord EX-R 4 door. Loaded. Leather psteer pwrwind pmirr psunroof, ABS, cruise, classic turquoise. Automatic Leather still in good shape. Will look Excellent after a good cleaning shampoo etc. Rust on the rear wheel wells. Other than that the body is excellent. 164,000km that's about 100,000miles I bought the cAr for $990 Canadian . Put another thousand to fix basically every mechanical issue. Even before I put the thousand into the car, the cAr was leaking oil BAD. Spark plugs soaked in oil, valve cover gasket crap oil everywhere. But regardless the car ran decent! The car drives amazing now IMO. Steering is easy and smooth but doesn't feel floaty like an American car. The dash board is so low it makes your veiw of the road easier than most cars nowadays. The dash is so low that when I let my father drive it he thought the car was lowered! The driver vision is excellent in this car. I loved the car when had MANY mechanical problems. Now it's even better. I will never sell it. I don't think you can get a new car to give the same driving sensation this car has. I got a CRV, a modified ef9(you can see it on my avatar) and now the CB7. This car is great, get one I want a legend next. 2nd gen four-door

[@Kerring]

Did you get it? I recently picked up a 92 and, in all honesty, I pretty much hate it with every cell in my body. As with all Japanese cars I've owned and driven, it mainly seems to be luck that determines the end result. Yes, it is light, yes it's very fun to drive, and in all seriousness, really goes for just 130hp. Can aside be quite a looker and as we know, extremely reliable. But then comes the interior, which is where you actually spend your time. Where you should feel good, no matter the shell. I mean, it is well equipped, with heated seats, heated electric mirrors and antenna. But it also lack basic features like adjustable wiper interval, a front ceiling light (seriously, my 70's Toyota has this), electrically sliding seat despite electrical inclining, etc. The fifty shades of grey dashboard is actually *passenger* oriented for some unimaginably weird reason, which is the first time I've seen in a car; and the wind noise is absolutely horrendous. I'm telling you, I've owned 15+ cars and loved them all. This however, although acceptable as a town car, gives genuine depression during longer trips. It's like an invincible Hyundai.

I just bought an Arcadia Green '93 EX 5-speed that was owned by a Honda tech from 3 years old. Immaculate, oil changed every 3k, it is gorgeous!

[@fracturedmind8124]

I had a 1992 LX Sedan with the auto. It had 311k when I got and when I wrecked it (😞) it had 352k and still ran like clockwork. Half of the stuff didn’t work like the 2 driver side windows, the A/C, it was missing the passenger corner light, and the rear driver window was taped because it was down about an inch and I couldn’t get it back up. I now have a 2006 Toyota Solara which I also absolutely love, but I still miss my Accord. It was first car. I hope to get another CB7 one day.

Back in April 2020 I purchased a 1992 Accord LX Coupe with a manual it got a little over 83K original one owner miles on it. Its got the optional factory spoiler and I've done a few modifications to it replacing worn original parts or updating to more modern components. Aftermarket radio, power antenna delete, R134a AC conversion and a new aftermarket gear shift knob and boot. The car was all stock when I bought it. For a 125hp 2.2L it quite peppy. BTW my cat absolutely hates the key in the ignition sound, I guess it's to high pitched for him.

[@nilek88]

my first car was a 1990 honda accord lx sedan back in 2005, it was my moms car, she bought it back in 1989. when i got the car it had like 103,000 I still regret getting rid of it. Years down the road i had bought a 1993 ex coupe and that one had a lot of problems unfortunately. Very good cars!

[@mrkzj2]

The steering is light at low speeds and heavy at high speeds, not the other way around. That's how steering assist is made to be. And retro fitting R134 doesn't make a person an idiot, especially if the original R12 had leaked out or there was an issue with the system. My Accord's AC is fine with R134. I have another car with R12 and the the difference is negligible.

[@horseathalt7308]

I think he meant the old owners put r134 in a non modified old r12 system you cannot do it and have that function correctly. 134 is a smaller molacule and it will quickly leak out without modified seals.

[@mescko]

@@horseathalt7308 Not just the seals, but it will leak right through the hose wall, r134 systems have 'barrier' hoses that are plastic-lined. Another reason the hate r134, you have to have new hoses made, you can't just order them for and older car.

They are 'trim levels'. the lowest and cheapest of these is the DX.

The EX is well-optioned with A/C and even had upgraded upholstery material and optional CD player added to the sound system.
