Ok what's with it I've only had an accord for a couple of months and now everywhere I go I'm spotting accords legends and old civics all over
Now I think my syndrome is chronic now as I've just bought another cb3 this time a 1990 auto carbd version with original documents and one owner from new
it hasn't spent a night outside in 6 years it was garaged every night and cleaned every Sunday the old fella cleaned the outside and engine bay while his missus cleaned the interior it has 4 floor mats in each footwell .
I had to buy her as it was soo well looked after so I payed 400 with4 month tax and a year mot i spotted it 3 weeks ago while at the mot station and I spoke to the couple and asked if they ever wanted rid of her then phone me as I liked it . And 3 weeks later they phoned me up
I'm going to keep this one and either strip the 1993 or sell it in 4 month I've yet to decide
I'll use the auto while I build a h22 or similar with throttle bodies then swap in the future when I have more time and money
 
Wow, it sounds amazing. I just love all of the old accords but the 5th gen. Especially the CB, lovely car but I would keep it stock, less effort more fun :D
 
Sounds like a bargain, can you add a photo so we can see your new car please :)
 
CB FEVER!
 
interesting observation, cant say ive been in enough CBs to say that, but what i can say is both mine, do have similar smell, so unique yes
 
Just read my comment, looked extremely odd and out of place :/ but the only other car I've found with a similar smell is the Maxda RX-6.

Apologies for not uploading any pictures I have a new phone with a camera so I can put some pics up my old 6310i finally gave up
I'll do that tomorrow at the garage I convinced my mate to buy a cb and he has a minter( best out of the3) 50000 miles silver 2.0 1990 .I'll see if I can get pics of that
My original cb needed some tlc so I have painted the wing mirrors and repaired the bumpers and painted them just needs buffing now
I have the rear bushes to do next and a oil seal in the dizzy
 
ok here is some new pictures
its not quite the same standard as marcus's cb but its nice to have something to aim for
i have repaired the bumpers and removed the massive washerjets then painted them i still have the bonnet and some wheelarch work and the pannel under the rear indicator and re hang the bumper

Nice to see your stilll working on the CB, also good to see some pics up of them.

Stick these in the members ride section/make a page up.

Love the old school cars in the garage too!
