My first car, 93 CB7 Accord

SoCal CB7
My First Car, I'm 16 and this my daily driver CB7, aka Jasmine. I planned on keeping it as a daily driver but now I have been inspired to do a full race build. I bought her for $1150 in "drivable" condition on August 5, 2011. She needed alot of work (i was told by my mechanic AFTER i bought it) but the seller said it just needed AC servicing. But now its my project build so its getting "restored" and done right! Will post progress and updates.

Keep It Clean
very nice man. if I were you, I wouldn't do a swap, nor tuck, shave or anything big.

repaint, sound system, tint and cruise..since this is a DD lowering it will make it handle corners better, but less comfortable

? Sound System
- Rims
- Interior Swap (Black leather/cloth)
- 8K HIDS
