New car new thread the old one will no longer be updated!!!

Day one pics














There are a couple rust spots as you can see in the pics but this one believe it or not has even less rust than my dx, it's got a couple bumps and bruises but nothing major, clean title no accidents, 206,000 kms basically it's been left alone other than the stupid fog lights and the even more ghetto alarm both will be removed as soon as it stops raining, the drivers door card has some dog damage but other than that it's great needs a detail badly, and it's got a vaccume leak. After that it should be gtg but can't really go wrong for 500 bones :D lol gonna do some maintenance and go on from there !!!

Nice pick up. Looks like you just hard reset your old CRX and restart all over again from level 0 one year later. So what will you do differently this time? Do you pretty much have it planned out already. :D
Lol I know eh, little different this one has a sunroof lol, umm I'm hoping this time around the engine doesn't explode after a week knock on wood, I'd like to take her out and run in one of the stock auto x classes although it will not stay d series forever, suspension and cosmetic mods are set already just cut and paste from the last one, for the first bit here I'm just gonna drive it while I get the insurance stuff sorted out with the 4runner

Yes yes it is :D

Working on a couple Minor issues giving her a good clean and trying to fix a surgine idle, none of the vaccume hoses are cracked, it's not sucking extra air in from the idle screw (it's happened to me before) kinda leaning towards iacv ima play with it some more and see what I can come up with ....

Still loving how stock this car is I almost don't wanna mess with it lol almost !!!

Yeah scary ain't it? Some people should just not be allowed around a car, trained or not! I truly despise bungee cord battery hold downs too. I'd much rather use giant zip ties before a bungee cord. At least it would hold better and not look nearly as ghetto. :lol:

I hope it's mint, but I sold my dx for 3000, you don't usually see crx's that are even kinda nice locally for less than 2g's

Ya so the timing belt was off by a tooth so that's all fixed now and it's running Better, except the short ram intake whistles and is driving me crazy!!!
