Am I too late for the CRX party? Here's mine

Post by Edison Carasio »

Lotta folks already know I bought this, after my much bitching in the shoutbox about it being difficult to get ahold of the seller.

Here's a copy and paste from Fitfreak.net

Paid $2000 (It was $1800, but tossed in another $200 to buy some old guy out).
Lowered on new coilovers, shocks and springs (no name brand, I'm assuming eBay generics)
New axles
New alternator
New thermostat
15'' SSK 053 wheels (basically Spoon SW388 replicas) with no curbs or knicks
New tires, can't remember brand but they are loud as heck
Full and clean interior with only blemish being torn driver seat
New windshield
Eclipse head unit with stock speakers.
About 180 compression in all cylinders.
DIY short ram intake (battery remained in stock location)

I'm the third owner. First owner gave the guy I bought it from ALL the service records dating back to original purchase in 1991. Outside is pretty straight. Some rust near rear wheels, all total about the size of a tennis ball. Hood has a fair amount of rock chips as the previous owner drove it about 100 highway miles a day. Car starts up, idles and runs great. Seems to run as good as my Fit at highway speeds. The ONLY downside is . . . . . . it's an auto. But I drive about 60 miles a day through downtown St. Louis traffic, and it's my daily (for now), so the auto will make my commute much easier lol. Only mechanical thing it needs is a new blower motor so I'm not sweating while sitting in traffic (I have to wear full suit and tie to work, so pit stains are frowned upon).



Here's pics from previous owner. Taken before the rust started, otherwise looks pretty much the same.

It was rubbing in the front, so Rick raised it up for me. The tires on it give alot of road noise, so I think I'll change those out. I dunno.

I need to get the driver seat and rust fixed ASAP. Those things really bother me for some reason. I'll try to wash it up and get my own pics when I can.

In some lights, it almost looks like a teal-ish color. I wanna wash and wax it and see what it looks like. But thanks guys.

Now to start piling parts for a D16Z6 or B16 swap. This engine and trans feels like it has LOTS of life left in it, so I have a while. I'll just have to live with being slow(er).
