Why the 1990 Honda Accord CB7 is Way Cooler Than You Think 

Most timeless Honda of all time. I hope people keep sleeping on these.

This is My 1st time seeing such a clean CB7. I just like the size, the clean lines and the simplicity. Honda seems to be a much cooler brand in the 90s.

This guy makes sense. I like the saying "I'm more of a driver than a wrench." Im the same way. I don't care much about aesthetics and high HP, I just like cars that feel fun to drive.

Some fun facts about this car. -H23 transmission from a 92-96 Prelude is a great upgrade. -1998 Acura CL rotor-over-hub upgrade makes changing front rotors much easier. -Prelude front suspension is a direct bolt-on. -92-96 short-shifters fit -H22 VTEC Prelude engine fits right in. -92-96 Prelude OEM wheels are a good upgrade and look like they came from the factory.

Before my s2000 this was my daily driver. White 1993 accord , indestructible, got stole do. Still miss it 😢

"I feel like it's more important to retain the experience that the car gives you rather than just trying to make everything fast." I love this quote from the Accord's owner. Today's cars offer impressive levels of performance along with overwhelming amounts of technology, but they will never be able to provide the same vibe and feel that older cars do. This has long been why certain people are drawn to vintage automobiles, with each era having its own unique appeal.

Aged like fine wine tbh. My favorite generation of Accord. 1990s Japanese sedans are amazing. The 3rd Generation 1989-1994 Nissan Maxima, The 1990-1993 Honda Accord CB7, 1990s Subaru Legacy, 1991-1995 Mitsubishi Diamante, 1990s Toyota Camry, Avalon, Cressida. All Great cars.

This guy knows what’s up. Thanks for having him on! I do miss having an older car that I have to keep up. No longer have the time to do so, but that was where I learned the most and felt the most proud of what I made. I was reminiscing about always having tools, coolant, oil, everywhere I went. I never got stranded but that’s because I kept the car up well. As life moved on I had less time for them and needed something newer to concentrate the experience on what I enjoyed most (driving). Now I just hop into the car and go...the journey has become in some ways less “exciting”, but the people I share the journey with are probably appreciative of that. There’s a time and place for everything and I am sure I will find myself in the future back under an old car, wrenching with friends, and doing rallys

That thing looks super cool with those te37’s on.

This guy is the best possible owner for this car. Bravo! I was so tempted by one of these in Queens last week, but it was rusty 😞

I’m a Honda nut. I have my first car still a 90 Civic hatch that I’ve owned for 21 years, a 2000 Integra GSR, a 1991 Integra RS, and a 2018 Civic Si. I absolutely love Hondas especially the 90’s era Hondas.

I love how excited he is and how he can’t seem to share his thought fast enough at 16:16. That right there is like an encyclopedic example of enthusiast behavior.

Way back in the day my buddy had a 1993 Accord Coupe with a 5-speed manual which he let me drive all the time. This car can be best described as "the whole being greater than the sum of its parts". There was no single aspect of this car that stood out as being vastly superior to its competitors, however everything worked together in concert so well. The driving experience was so special, something almost impossible to quantify but if you drive one you will understand.

My first automatic car was a burgundy 93 Accord EX. The drivers seat was incredibly comfortable and had its own armrest on the right side that folded up and down. I was 20 and it was 1999, bought it with 60k miles and felt like an absolute BALLER lol. I drove it across the country four times, solo. Sold it with 250k miles and only did front axles, brakes, tires and changed fluids at owners manual recommended intervals. People are entitled to their opinions, but it’s a scientific fact that these cars were fucking incredible!

I have a 1991 Accord LX wagon, and I love it. IMO it strikes the perfect balance between practicality and drivability. Lots of room for cargo, surprisingly quick off the line, handles really well, and gets about 28mpg on the highway if you take it easy. It's a grandma car for sure, but it will surprise you if you drop it in to second and whip around some curvy back roads.

The best of the Hondas during the pre 2K era i had a 1991 Honda Accord EX 4 dr, sedan just like the one they showed in the commercial in the beg. of the vid. mines was Black semi metallic w/clear coat and had the dual color interior black on leather dash on ivory cloth seats and head board, moon/sunroof (tinted), tinted factory windows all around, Bose sound system w/auto antanea, power windows, power door locks, power gas and trunk release, the thing i loved the most was it was equipped with automatic seatbelts, w/emergency release buttons, fog lights and the bright Halogen bulb lights with the real glass cover, cruise control, theft auto system, heated seats and mirrors also power mirrors, maintenance indicator, Engine 2.2L SOHC VTEC. Programmed fuel injected w/twin intercooler fans, 4 sp. auto. turbomatic transmission with lock up torque converter equipped with Sports mode, dual exhaust w/dual chrome tips, power assisted steering, power electronic front disc brakes, sitting on 205/60/15" all aluminum wheels, factory mud flaps w/Honda logo on them, front and rear body spoiler, double wish bone suspension, rack and pinion steering w/Mcpherson struts all around i brought it back in 1996, i smoked the windows 5% on it all around, then i put the real whole fender body chrome all around as well, i switched out the factory radio and dropped in a Kenwood receiver cd player then had the carpet box of 12" JBLs powered by a Rockford Fosgate punch 45 series amp. mated to 300 watt Pioneer equalizer Man this car was very fast 0-60 in 6.5 sec. that was very quick back then, i kepted the car for about 9 years, i dont know what i was thinking about by just letting it go downhill just because i brought a 1993 Pontiac Grandprix SE 2 coupe. Pearl white w/clearcoat and a red stripe body molding across the center of the car and it had the factory honeycomb cross hatch tinted rear brake light functional covers. but the Honda was Amazing and i just stop driving it and it went downhill the heads blew i fixed it then the engine went and i sold it like a crazed man, and now everytime i see one like it i just slumber.

I found a cb7 on a shop's parking lot, picked it up at 109k as my first car, and it's at 136k three years later, still my daily. I don't think I could've done better for a 30 year old car sold locally. Great machine.

Love CB7. Currently building mine now. The JDM parts have gone up a lot in price now but they do look great.

Dude, I love the CB7! About 15 years ago my buddy swapped in an H22a into his CB7 daily. The youtube Algorithm just brought back all those awesome memories. Great video!

As one of the same 1990 Honda accord owner, I have to say everything about the car is so good that I prefer to drive it rather than driving some newer car. I really love how the car feel and how everything is being design inside, simple yet functional

I just love the dash tray and handling and highway stability of these. Would be awesome cruising with friends in the summer.

I remember watching those commercials when they were new as a kid. Lol The Accord is what got me into Hondas. 1986 with the pop-up headlights. My first car I modified was a 1996 Accord. Got into 4th Gen Preludes and 3rd-5th Gen Accords. Cool thing is the Prelude and Accords share a lot of parts. Im.pwrtial to the 92-93 updated version of the CB7. These Accords actually handle extremely well. Very easy to upgrade the suspension. Good video.

I really dig his enthusiasm, very sincere. I'm looking for the gen before this one but both are awesome.

Owner of a 92 LX 4rd 5 spd back in 98, one of my best memories!

I, (18 female), recently got my first car. This car. a 1990 Honda Accord LX Automatic. Bought it from a lovely gentleman down the road who was selling it for $750. and I cannot express enough the immediate attraction I had to it, seeing it on the side of the road there looking rather pretty despite its sunken hood and a nice dent next to the driver's side door. It's in Incredible working order for the 170k miles on it and has only had problems starting on cold mornings, (or when I forget to flip the kill switch off). 10/10 would recommend to Anyone looking for a Reliable and wonderful first car.

Really love the squarish design of that era. That low wide body looks so good even stock!

In the early 90's, this was the car to have. From about 90-93, these were everywhere, even the wagon was hot. There are plenty still running around with 200-300k on them. They will rust into the ground before they stop running. A solid running EX, over 200k, one owner? You can still pay over $3k for one. The owner will not flinch. One of the best cars of all time.

After watching this video , made me miss my CB7 😭😭 😭 ❤️

This owner seems so cool and just love the enthusiasm in him. Would love to see his nsx on this channel, too!

bought my '93 2 door EX when it was 5 years old. Still have it today, in amazing shape. Great cars!!

I had a flawless 87 with an axle back I made working at a Midas back in the day. It was sick. Flip up headlights, perfect little dash, was so comfortable and fun to be in and drive.

My Mom bought a Champagne 4Door 93 Accord EX Manual Gold Package My Dad bought Her in 92. My 1st Car was a 2001 Prelude SH which got Totaled so I put My H22 & 5Spd Differential in My Moms 93 Accord & That Car Looks & Drives Great! It really Rotates with The LSD!

Thanks for the opportunity to be featured on your channel Fenton!

Got one of these as my first car. Haven’t been able to drive it yet but just moving it up and down the drive way is super fun

Proud owner of a 97 accord coupe here! Whatna noce example of this era accord here on this vid! 👏

I had a 91 EX 5spd CB7, I Loved It! I Put 200,000 mi on it then put in a new F22!

when I worked for a honda dealer I finally drove it what I love with that cb7 accord it's his simplicity and everything is about driving

‘90s sedans are awesome.

Shout out my first car. A Coupe without the optional passenger side mirror, and automatic seatbelts, used to freak people out! Loved it, the transmission finally went out at about 350k miles and it still kept going after I put a new one in!

Love this video. It brings back all the memories. I used to have a metallic green 1993 Accord Wagon EX-R (Canadian model). My uncle is still driving it!

I loved my 87 Accord ex, 5 speed. With the flip up headlights. Drove awesome. Slow but awesome. This Accord is super sweet. Thanks for showcasing an amazing ride.

i hope people sleep on these forever. this has been my dream car for so long and finding a nice one in the midwest is so hard.

Love cars from this Era. Great video, great conversation, keep up the good work!

I’m currently driving my 3rd Accord. My 2006 was just my everyday grocery getter, but that car gave me 360,000 hard driven miles. Watching this video makes me want to try and find a 90’s vintage Accord. Love this car!

I love his enthusiasm for this car!

new fan of your channel, love how passionate DJ is about his Hondas!

Love the CB7. My first car was a 92 EX with H22A swap. Miss that car.

Love it. I've owned 2 of these in the past as a daily driver and currently searching for my next one.

So that's what they look like w/ rear wheelwells! Great feature of a great car and owner. Had a rusty '93 LX sedan 5MT thru college. Even amongst contemporary BMWs and Audis, I miss it.

DJ is a awesome guy! Had the pleasure of meeting him and his dog at the Norcal DA vs EF meet in 2020. Super chill. Pulled up in the mint af CB7. Had no idea he had a NSX till 3hrs later when i asked him to bring it to the meet lol

Love it, owner is super humble down to earth and enthusiastic. The early 90s Honda are still classic and fun to drive.

This is cool, you guys made me miss my old 87 prelude...

I've owned one since 2007, agreed on all points. This thing is like a space ship, especially compared to everything everyone else was putting out at the time. The ergonomics are just amazing, everything comes to hand perfectly and all the switches feel so positive. The materials and design are just excellent, and the engineering that went into the suspension and the engine is just superb. The f22 is so quiet and so refined, it's a gem. Not sure what's up with his but mine is like silk from idle to redline. I wish he had an EX, the EX models offered a rear sway bar, 92/93 had ABS and rear disks, air bag, 140hp/147tq, shorter transmission gearing, retuned shocks, softer interior fabrics, adjustable lumbar, etc. My ONLY complaint with this car is the road noise, but that's every Honda pre 2014..

I have a 93 Accord that is white just like that one. It's been my favorite car. They're cheap, fun, look great and easy to work on. I'll always love the CB7.

I have lugged this car around with me through sun, wind, rain and dirt. Everyone told me to sell, but none believed. It's been handed down to me and cherished ever since. 248,000, just got her back up and running clean, cali. Want to do a trans swapp eventually, but I really want to upgrade the suspension, that's next on my list. Fun car to drive

I grew up with these Honda, all of my uncles from my mother side had one. They were ‘91 and ‘92 models, two autos and two manuals. Super reliable and fun to drive, wish I can pick up a clean one just to use for the weekends.

I love the CBs and CGs. I have a CG6 EX 5Speed and love it. I have 2006 TSX side mirrors on it, going to do a Euro type R conversation soon. Love the video man

Great guest and conversation

These accords will always have a special place in my heart. My parents had two, a blue 4 door auto that was my mom's then my dad bought a black coupe with a manual. I thought that coupe was the coolest thing! I eventually learned to drive stick on it. Never owned one but had a 95 cd5 sedan that I loved. If I had enough money and space for another vehicle I'd try to scoop a clean one. Truly a classic body style.

You never see very clean cb7 accord anymore. Dj really gave great input & info in the video, i can feel his passion. Love it, Great review! #bringbackfrontdashboardtrays

Love these. I've had four 4th gens: 91 SE 4dr 91 DX 4dr 91 EX 2 Dr JDM H22A w/ LSD swap 93 SE 2dr

I feel this exact love for first gen crvs. I’ve had 2 & I cannot wait to get a third (last one got totaled)

Best Honda Accord body style ever made

I have a beat up 92 DX Accord that I got for free 5 years ago. I'm talking about dented in rear driver's door, dented hood, radio doesn't work (not the fuse), and it's stills driving today.

Love this. Great car great convo. I love my 5th gen Accords but I would love a chance to try out a 4th someday. Thanks for the great video!

My boi got a cb7 a few months ago and fixed it up a little bit and it's honestly one of the nicest cars around town

This was my very first car! I’ll never forget it 😍

This video jst made me buy a 1990 accord lx 🤝 i got it for like 3 weeks so far , great lil sedan I'm in love

I also have a 90 Accord that I bought of someone for $900 2 years ago. This is my 4th CB7 and as long as I live I’ll forever own it hopefully fingers crossed 🤞. Almost every where I go there’s always someone trying to buy it from me. It really holds a special value that anyone can appreciate if they ever come across one. I literally had someone honk their horn while I’m driving to as me what year the car was. Love the video and forever live the CB7 💯❤️

I relate with this so much, had mine for 15 years now over 300k favorite vehicle ever driven. The underrated Honda!

Owned 3 cb7 in my life and will keep buying them its one of my favorite cars I always felt the say way you guys feel about them ...... they are tanks

I owned a 91’ LX Laurel Blue Metallic F22 with an H23 trans swap. And let me tell you, I absolutely loved the shit out of that Accord and everything about it. Always loved it when every time I popped the hood I saw the “PGMFI” placard stamped on the fuel rail. So bad ass. Along with also admiring it’s sharp and perfectly symmetrical square body shape. The space practicality and visibility from the drivers side. And can we talk about the hood and it’s perfectly sharp contoured lines? Perfection. It was so much fun and just so easy silky smooth to drive anywhere. Always just felt so connected to the car and the road at all times. Drove it hard everyday but yet at the same time I did so with great care. I took pride in pampering my Laurel and doing all maintenance, work, and detailing myself on a regular schedule. And all I can say is “baby blue” never let me down through out any kind of weather from any season. I’d made countless memories and had incredibly fun moments with my CB7. So when he said “it’s tugging on my heartstring..it’s like real love.. you can feel it” yes sounds cheesy and it is lol but that statement hits really hard and I understood it completely. It’s simply something you won’t feel.. not until you get behind the wheel in one of these. The CB7 chassis and the feeling it gives its driver truly makes it a one of a kind Honda legend. It just always provides unlimited Smiles for Miles!

ive got a cd7 currently, but looking to pick up a cb soon aswell, these things are definitely slept on

Got a 92 accord ex F22A6. Looking for upgrades to keep its original style cause I really love it. This video helps a lot. Thanks.

This video was the one the one to get me convinced , I bought mine with 65k original auto for $2000... love every time I drive it. 😊

I bought one of these in 2015 for $1500 and it is one of my favorite cars that I've owned.

Absolutely love the straight lines on this car. Damn it looks so good with those wheels. It would be a perfect daily driver if it didn't feel so unsafe with giant SUVs and trucks barreling everywhere around you.

ive got a 1994 cd5 accord I bought it with 69k on it and its given me so much appreciation of clean 90s hondas

The design is simple and clean, wish newer Honda’s still retained some of this design language.

Great vid....I'm been a cb7 owner in the past, 90, 92, 93 had a h22 drop in... CB7 forever....

By far my favorite Gen Accord Love the Notchy Feeling Transmission.

Uh the memories this brings back. Had a 91 coupe. Loved that car. Owned it in the era of clear tail lights came about.

I had a 91 LX in white. Loved the car and have owned Hondas and Acuras ever since.

"i went crazy on the suspension and brakes" 10 minute later "it has drumbrakes in the rear" 😂😂 glad to see someone enjoy their old accord as much as i do mine

Cb7 has always been cool. I remember seeing a white coupe on the cover of super street. Wanted one ever since. Almost had one as my first car. Still want one to this dsy

Made me love my car even more. Also thank u for parts list. These forums are old and gone:( practically in modern day

I loved my 1990 Lx accord 4 door! Bought it with 200k and totally it with 280k. Dropped on nice sleeve over coils with KYB AGX shocks. Engalls chamber kit. It rode so nice and handled so nice! Slow car but it was so amazing to drive. Amazing quality Japanese engineering.

I have a 90 accord dx and it's by far my most favorite car I've owned. Jus it drive and feels driving. And hella space for everyone frl

Finally another CB fan, i have a F22a6 that im using for an EK coupe swap and its the pull of the F series that got me, my CB9 still pulled harder than the D16 in my EK does, good build.

Such a cool car! I want one now!

I had a 1991 accord se sedan with 360k miles on it when I got rid of it. Ran like a top. Then I got a black 93 ex coupe 5 speed and I really loved that car. Cb7 will always be my favorite accord. My favorite Honda model of all time is the bb2 prelude though. With the crazy looking dash.

I drove an 88 flip light accord sedan for a while very solid car its a damm shame most people didn't mod these properly back then i always felt that the accord would such a cool car to mod

My CB7 is my winter beater and also my first car. Love it

I’ve always loved these cb7s. Always feel like they slept one. About to pick up a beer colored cb7 with a manual

Love that body style accord. Also the accord wagons was nice looking too.

my grandma bought a 91 accord lx sedan in white w/blue interior new in 91 and my brother got it as his first car. I got a 92 accord ex coupe and we both did h22a swaps in the early 2000's.

It's such a good driving experience in once of these i wish I can find one in clean condition coupe or sedan . Even with high mileage

I love these cars! I got a 90 accord wagon with a jdm f20b (twim cam) and the matching short gear lsd transmission. 80k on the chassis. Very fun to drive!

Just picked up a 91 accord LX auto for 50.00! Excited to be apart of the accord and to have a good project

i still have my CB7, i put it in a barn 10 years ago, getting ready to do a full restore on it
