I bought a Honda, dear lord what am I doing?

These cars are gonna become even more popular as the survivors dwindle down and fuel prices rise. I see people driving old VWs more and more lately. Having something clean, classic, and good on fuel will be the new cool thing.

Recently I have seen a clean late 80s Corolla cruising Albany. I regretfully sort of like it. LoL

PLEASE tell me you ground off the paint before putting bondo on…

I can’t wait to start cleaning up my Honda.

everything is looking good dude, keep up the work!

Do you live on bolt road by any chance? I drove by there the other night and saw the rear end of a crx in someones garage

Yes I did

I do indeed, that is mi casa haha

Well since I last posted on the CRX we’ve been knee deep in getting her that much closer to being on the road. Here’s what we’ve (my honda loving friend Dan & I) been up to.

-Fitted new hood, bumpers & bumper supports
-Cleaned the interior up & put it back together
-Threw some new paint on the car
-Cleaned up the engine bay with some paint
-New valve cover gasket

Some pics:

So now it’s just waiting on some parts. I have my new muffler & bumper lights in the mail. Headers will be coming once I get some tires for the rims. I’m searching around for a cheap set of lower profile 14s so if anyone has/knows of any let me know. I’m also debating coilovers, if anyone has a nice set they want to sell, shot me a pm. Just needs rotors, pads & calipers up front & she will be on the road. Stay tuned… :excited

lovelovelove it!!! so sick!

Hey, glad someone love it

Awesome

Well fellow shift members, after 3 years of not seeing the road, my little CRX has made it’s return to the streets of the 518. Insurance is costing me an extra 19 dollars a month! So far I’ve put about 130 or so miles on it & gone through basically a 1/4 tank of gas. Aside from having to down shift to get her up hills I love this thing. Here’s some pics of the beast with the dub. Don’t mind the missing trim, I have it just gotta get some clips. I really wanna thank my good friend Dan for all his help on this car & the guy I’ve been buying parts off. This is just stage 1 of the project. Stay tuned b/c we’ve only just begun :excited

Looks good dude !!!

Thanks man

Definitely an awesome find. 40mpg FTW!

love it

Yeah I was pretty happy finding this gem. Love it a hell of a lot more than my dub, well aside from the lack of power haha. I’ll be happy with anything above 35 mpg

I can get 35 in my rsx no problem I’m sure you can easily get that.

Yeah, I’ll be doing all highway driving with it. Bout 70 miles a day. Run it til the motor or tranny goes then do a b series swap or something fun.

:facepalm

:facepalm You aint got no style mutha fucka

I do, just find it hard to believe he likes an 800 dollar car over his 6,000 dollar Vdub.
