i have been a fan of these body style accords for a while, had a few pics of some nice cg's saved in my computer. It started when i got my first car a 93 accord, i thought they were nice cars and my then wife (now ex wife thank God) needed a car and i found a 98 lx sedan at a dealer for a good deal, cel was on, i knew nothing about cars, we took it for a test drive, salesman said it just may be a small sensor, trans was slipping, he said it may be connected to the sensor, we paid for the car.

did some research on the car and found out the code was for the egr, replaced it and still was on, learned how to clean the egr port, cel went away for a little but it still jerked, then found out tranny was going out. anyhow after the divorce she sold the car but i always liked that bodystyle, then i finally got my chance to own my EX, (my 93 was an EX and i love sunroofs so i knew i had to get an EX).

here is my car history:

First: 1993 CB7 EX sedan 5 speed, got fooled by the guy that sold it to me, he prolly used smoke stop or thick oil cause after a few days, the thing smoked like a train, got another stock engine, ran good for like 3 years

then engine started that reving up and down at idle, got a good deal on this

and then it went in

sux i did not enjoy the H for that long, 2-3 months later a lady in a CD (94-97) accord ran red and ran into me from the side

then her insurance gave me some money, then i bought the cb7 from the insurance for $100 (for the motor),
then sold the motor and tranny for $1k, me and the new owner pulled it out, it was pretty easy to pull out with tranny lol

then i started looking for another accord, but also had a thing for integras, since everyone was modding them all the time, there was one for 3k and there was also a cg coupe ex manual for sale but i was like 300 short, i called the guy and everything, but i wanted the integra a bit more so i got the integra, and you know it had to have a sunroof

then the integra started getting pretty uncomfortable, im 6 feet tall, and while a fun car to drive, it was pretty small, and in my area they get stolen pretty quick, so i put it up for trade, this guy had a 98 ex accord manual leather, nice, that wanted to trade me but he wanted $500 on top, but i did not have it at the time, i knew i wanted an accord for the room but i wanted one of equal value to the integra, then this guy had a 95 accord with a jdm/lsd swap but it was an lx not an ex, so no sunroof, so right off the bat i knew it was not going to work for me, kept looking for a few months and i was not finding anything i wanted, so i finally called him we met up and we did an even exchange, i had no sunroof but i had power and room. it had a JDM lsd trans and JDM h22a, chipped p28, 2 step, cel as shift light, this car could move

but this thing was in such a good shape i did not want to mess with it, i just put some cl wheels on it, drove it for a little, i was undecided on putting the h in it, one day i was just looking around on cl and this guy had a 99 accord ex manual for sale, i thought i was out of my reach, plus it needed some body work so i past it, went back a few day later and he still had it, talked him down on the price and went to test drive it, barrowed a few hundred bucks from a friend and got the car, now i had 3 accords haha, so i hurried up and sold the 95 with the h22 and all and i sold the cb7 and fixed this one up and that's how it cam aboutVVVVVVVVVVVclick on sig to see the cg

Quite a journey with your cars.....the CB/CG similarity in body style is why have always liked both.

me too, seems like honda has a pattern of going squared,round,squared, round, the cb7 was squared, cd's were round, cg's squared, 03 and up very round, 07 went back to squarish, im gessing next gen will be round lol

but yeah, it's just a matter of time before i get a 92-93 4 door ex and boost it, the cg will be my DD, the main reason why i lob the cb is because it's such a sleeper, and for some reason most people choose the 94-97 accords over them, making them even more of sleepers, most civic/integra dudes dont know cb's can be built quite nice, and they are obd1 so they are easier to mod and still pass emissions

I would jump on the chance to get a mint 93 CB sedan/wagon, but up here, that is a rarity.
