It's not even father's day yet, but I like this !

The reason I am into Hondas today, and spent years trying to find the perfect CB7 was because of my Dad's. I wish we never got rid of it. It was supposed to be my first car, but it had around 330,000 KM and my dad decided to give it to a family that had just moved here from the Philippines. Around that time, Ronaldtype-R was parting out his Accord, and I was ready to build it up similarly.

I know it is nothing special, but the most enticing thing to me as a kid driving around with my Dad in this Accord was the sound the F22A6 made when the butterfly valves opened up. It wasn't VTEC or anything, but I remember always asking my dad to punch it to hear the sound. I obviously did not know what these things were at the time. Just sounded cool.

That family continued to drive it for another 3-4 years, and when Skunkworks had a few extra Carfaxs we found out it had been recycled (the family traded it in for an Explorer). I wish I could buy it back. That Accord never skipped a beat until it's death in 2015.



If anyone has a Charcoal Grey 90-91 Sedan, please let me know ! I plan on finding one exactly like his because my 92-93 just isn't quite the same.

Edit: Hey Tofu can you spot your old EF Si in the back of the top photo ? Lol
