![]() I know motorcycles though, ridden Honda all my life. I am currently working my way through my first project. Yes, I am new to cars in general, only got into them about five years ago when I lost the ability to ride. The H holds a low price point, and is a small form engine, easy to tune, easy to get not so expensive parts. I was saying the H is little known in a lot of the world, everyone wants the built K, massive power, no balance. ![]() IMO, the H deserves more options for tuning and more respect, especially when most of the Bseries engines that everyone wants round my parts are starting to become not so easy to find for a decent price. The H isn't as heavy as a lot of built K engines, dropping the K into the front of say, an ED9 usually ends with a really badly built car that tries to rip itself apart while ending up waaay too front heavy. What I was saying is the Mini-me swap to a H head on a D-series engine (sohc because the DOHC won't fit obviously) is a good direction of those who want VTEC and don't have it. I meant there's been a run on the K engine (with it ending up in everything) and the H will be the next one to get swapped in by everyone into everything. Instagram: Honda related stories on Speedhunters The CB7 Accord is a car that represents Honda at its peak, and Ruben’s clean and classy example does a fantastic job of keeping that great 1990s spirit alive. 95 JDM Honda Accord front lip 95 Accord EXR rear lip 95 Accord side skirts Lighting JDM side marker lights JDM intersection lights, relays and harness JDM yellow fog light bulbs Red/Clear Sedan tail lights EDM rear fog light Clear bumper signal lights CB7 JDM one piece black housed headlights: - Yellow high beam shroud - JDM yellow high beam. I don’t know if this model will ever be considered a ‘classic’ in the traditional sense, but there’s a lot to love about this almost 25-year-old machine. Let’s not forget the right-hand drive conversion, either. The interior is equally clean, with upgraded bucket seats and a Momo steering wheel. The transmission is an M2B4 5-speed with LSD.Īnd as you can see, the engine bay has an attention to detail that’s so commonplace in West Coast Honda builds. Under the hood sits a JDM H22A VTEC engine – a hard-revving four that was never offered in a USDM Accord, but was quite potent in the Prelude of the same era. ![]() They’re the perfect size to fill the fenders without looking tacky or out of place. ![]() In addition to wearing a few subtle body upgrades, the Accord is sitting low and rolling on a set of Work VS-XX wheels measuring 17×8-inch all around. Ruben’s Accord was a perfect addition to last year’s Street Neo Classics show, which focused on Japanese machinery from the ’80s and ’90s, and it’s hard to argue with the simple look of his car. As evidence, I present this 1992 CB7 Accord Coupé owned by Ruben Calderon. This was especially true back in the ’90s when the Accord offered an unrivaled mix of quality, innovative engineering and a surprisingly fun chassis to play with.Īnd while there aren’t nearly as many modified examples out there as there are Civics and Integras, ’90s Accords can be damn cool when fixed up right. Some people might think of the Honda Accord as the ultimate in boring appliance transportation, but to me, the model has always been a little more than that. ![]()
