Been away from the forum for a while. Haven't really done much to the car other then maintenance, but there are a few noteworthy events. Beginning to think this is one of those cars I'll have for a long long time.
First I finally got everything sorted out so that I could lower the rear of my car to where I want it. Bottomed out the coils first and ended up having to drive home with my exhaust dragging the whole way. As seen below.
Got home and raised it up just a bit. Looks much better and now my exhaust isn't dragging.
Went through a problem with my immobilizer which only has a temporary fix until I get my car wired up for a remote. Made me consider selling it, but 3 days after having it posted for sale this happened...
Getting rear-ended was such a shock, never thought I would ever get in a wreck, but I guess no matter how careful you drive you can't account for others. Other guys insurance paid for the fix anyways. I don't have any post repair pictures, but they did great and even after using the same bumper that got hit, the repair looks flawless. They also included my spoiler for free so my spoiler paint finally matches the rest of the car.
On another note my CB7 (Or The Beast Machine, as me and my buddies like to call it) is still running strong after just hitting 240k on the clock. We also got it painted purple (Which was not my color preference) at the same body shop that fixed my car for a price so low I felt I was stealing it. Honestly would've been more expensive to buy a bunch of spray paint and go to town on it. Regardless it looks much better then it did before.
Should have more time to visit the forum now due to getting a new job with much better hours. I missed my accord family
