Seriously OT: The Real 3rd Thready...

I always wanted to catch a police beatdown in progress (as long as I'm not on the receiving end)

Once I watched a cocaine filled Uhaul lead police on a chase through my neighborhood for about 10 minutes. The cops damn near wiped my moms parked car in the process. In the end, the Uhaul got caught trying to outrun police on a major street... what an idiot. Police Interceptor > Uhaul any day

sounds like fun...all you needed was Axle Folley on the back of the truck :lol:

that would be some shit.

Damn that gave me a fun daydream for like 15 mins lol.

Oh, so im pretty sure I found my car..after countless crapass GS-R's with high prices, high miles and electrical/mechanical problems (not one of the fuckers could hit vtec). 55k miles, tokico suspension, AEM intake, Greddy exhaust. 205/40/17's (.1% off stock size :P) and other than that its bone stock..just the way I want it. No more effed up wiring for me.

Nice car. Nice color. Nice rims.

I was looking for GSRs forever but I just couldn't find the right one that was unmolested so I gave up on them. I still like the GSR but I doubt I'll ever own one...

went with a co-worker of mine to look at GSR's...crap cars...people dog them out then sell them...he ended up with a Prelude

i cant really recall but didnt u have some stuff stolen from ur car a few mths ago?
we are old farts lol...thats was over a year ago but ya and its in the works of being restored finally :-)....once its painted I post pics with the b20 swap and full-race bar....but atleast someone remembers my nightmare haha

so i'm getting jacked by work again. i'm leaving for a month to go work on jets at another base. 3rd year in a row that i will be missing my wifes birthday.. i just can't wait to get to a real command and not have to deal with all these old farts waiting to retire. and in the process screwing everybody over.

I just found an ad for a 90 model Si CRX... from the pictures it looks like it's in prestine condition... no dents, the paint shines like it's fresh from the show room floor, the interior is spotless and tear free... it has 115K miles on the car.... the only thing wrong is a blown head gasket.
They want $2k for it.... is it worth it to buy a perfect body and interior for $2k?

My first car was a white CRX just like it... and after I sold it, it's like I've been chasing the dragon every since, trying to get a car that is as nice and as fun to drive as it was.... maybe if I'd just bought another CRX, eh?

If its just the head gasket then hell yes it is! CRX's sell for far more than that here man. OH! which reminds me...the dealership I went to that has the integra above, wanted to give me $500 on a trade in for my car..I laughed in the guys face (literally)...probably not a good idea in retrospect lol.

If I got it, that means I would be selling the hatch after all... no room in the drive way for more cars.

Oh, so im almost certain my new car (well, not till Monday) has tokico Illuminas on it...they are freaking adjustable! Thats a 900 dollar set of suspension comp right there...oh hell yeah. Im gonna be riding smooth.

Thats a very nice teg

so are you selling your rex to get the integra?


killa crx- i would buy the rex. if it is in as good condition as you say. HELL YES!!!

No im not. Like I said the stealership offered me 500 and I told em to shove it. Ill keep the rex till I decide what to do with it. I can only use one at a time, and can only take one back to college (its spring break). I imagine ill sell it, but only to the rright person. For the right price. My baby isnt gonna get ricerized.

killa crx- i would buy the rex. if it is in as good condition as you say. HELL YES!!!

I went by to look at it today... and other than the normal tear on the drivers side seat, it is in as good of condition as it looked like in the pictures I saw.... flawless body, and nearly spotless interior.
Engine is not usable... looks like after the gasket went it was driven until it died.... timing belt and timing belt cover are melted completely. The head is obviously warped and the cylinders look fried..... luckily I have a friend that has a D16A6 laying around....

But yeah... my car is sold... I'm going to pick up my newest rex tonight... and I will once again be..... Killa_CRX

well frodogt if you ever do decide to sell it lmk. my rex is giving me so many problems that i just don't have the time to fix or the paycheck.

You wouldnt find any less problems with mine man :(. Ive finally got the suspension and body mechanically sound...but the wiring will never be salvaged.

A small example..

I would feel bad selling it to a fellow AF'er unless they really knew what they were getting into. I would prefer to find a local sucker that wasnt going to put body kits and crap on it, maybe someone who would completely reswap it or something..also parting it out has crossed mym ind, but really only the aftermarket stuff is of any value to anyone, and it would kill me to do it.

some guy at my work has been tryin to trade me his red gsr with type r parts on it and give me another grand but im just not into tegs..as much as i want to get a new car idk if i can give up the crx that easily..my hatch on the other hand will be sold after i get the motor put back together..it sits in my parents driveway like a statue lol

Ha! That wiring mess is not really that bad.. at least nothing looks melted... I've rebuilt a few melted wiring harnesses... that's tough when you just have to cut off both connectors and start from scratch. Especially if you don't have a wiring diagram to work from (BMW wiring diagrams are worthless)

Yeah..nothing melted..just about 15 wires not connected, 20 butt connectors and the rest of the harness looks just as bad. Ive gone through and soldered everything in the engine bay. But it really just needs new wires run altogether. And Ill never have my AC back :( I cant even begin to figure out where the hell it disappeared to.

Great to hear you found a nice rex Killa.

haha thats not to bad, My friend bought a rex with a hack job form hell I had to work with cause person before went from dx to obd1 and this wasnt a pretty sight :-)

FrodoGT- oh man that's not bad. you should see the shit i have to work with. i'm an avionics tech. wiring is definitly not a problem for me.

LOL. Yeah mines a DX, not OBD-1 but still definitely effed up. There isnt even a reason for half of these wires.

well, if you were in socal, i'd clean it up for you.

Got my new baby!... will post some pictures up wednesday night!

I'm so freakin' stoked!

great can't wait to see the pics.

the one with the busted engine?

my son and i were watching some drifting videos and he told me that he's going to work 5 jobs so he can get hi own drift car

By the time he's old enough to drive drifting will be a thing of the past... wait a minute... it already is... LOL :lol:

lol

kinda like us and our 4th gen civics :uhoh:

the one with the busted engine?

Yeah.... got an engine today... also radiator, radiator hoses, heater hoses, spark plugs, plug wires, front and rear brake pads, front and rear rotors... and a few other things I can't remember at the moment.

Hope to have her running and on the road by the end of the week.

Here are the pictures where I first saw the car... it looks just as good in person.

oh my god i wish my interior looked that good.

so fresh and so clean wow

That's a nice looking crx. I still can't understand why you'd get rid of a car that was engineered 10 years later for one older. The EK hatch is a tight little car. I'd love to have one with a nice b-series engine swap, rear discs and a few other goodies. The body shape looks like a Peugeot 206 Rally car (well not really) but I've always liked them. There is a black EK around here who I used to see just piddle about but when he'd get on forget it, the crx would always fall short. That ride was quiet even though it was clear it had some kind of exhaust and engine swap... possibly turboed... definitely a sleeper.

Even though the EK is newer... most of the chassis is still the same as the CRX.... the advantages the EK have over the CRX were purely eletronic in my opinion.
CRX still has short arm, long arm suspension set up..., still 4wheel independant, non-mcpherson... but 600lbs lighter, 2 seater (I'm obsessed with small cars).

There was nothing done to my EK or any EK that I can't do to my CRX.

And yes, the interior is CLEAN... there is a tear in the drivers seat like almost every 4th gen.... but other than that, it's a clean COMPLETE interior.

You would know better than me. The only way I'd get an EK is if most of it had Si parts put in it (including the engine if not a better one). I used to like small cars but lately I'm more concerned with safety. It seems like there aren't that many small cars on the roads these days where I live.

nice score on the rex. it'll feel like you got an engine swap...it'll be quicker, and cost you more in gas :icon16: lmao!

putting a SOHC ZC back in there... should be getting somewhere around 30-32mpg :P

But yes... it will be quicker, and in the long run it will cost me less to make it fast than it would have my 97 :P.... believe it or not

got an airshow in town. we are setting up all week.

still looking for a CVCC civic

to be flat out honest....good job saving the life of that car. the fate of the 4g (2g for the rex) is becoming very scary. i just did a search looking for a bone stock civic si. no such luck. i swear every title said "ef civic"....apparently "ef" now is code word for "car molested" :shakehead:

Ive just about given up on trying to find a stock crx to molest myself lol..hence the reason ive shifted to the dc2 :(

*Edit* Found a 90 SI 207 mi away for $995..too damn bad its too far.

Yeah, I know what you mean... I love 4g's... but they are getting trashed out these days... I know I'm going to keep mine in as good of condition as possible.
Me+ED9= one happy couple.

Got the motor pulled out tonight... have to wait on parts from Honda though... who would have thought they wouldn't keep stuff for a 91 CRX in stock :cwm27: ... most of what I ordered is coming out of the national warehouse in Ohio.
Ah well.

Why does it have to be so damn hard to read turbo compressor maps. I used a turbo calculator thingy online, and it picks a turbo that is only good for 200hp! So wtf am I supposed to do? Go up to the next size turbo that will help me reach the hp goal I'm looking for, at the risk of wasting $ on something I don't really want? Risking going over the surge line of the compressor maps? Guess I better stop being a lazy ass and finish reading Maximum Boost so I'll have a better idea of what I'm doing wrong...

yeah 200+ miles is a trip.

man I hope tomorrow goes quick for work...love to know I have weekend but it goes so slow...guess the bright side to it is I trading a guy my b18 ls hydro for his 99 b16 hydro on saturday then the b20 will be in my car :-)

good for you :thumbsup:

but i'll be spending this weekend moving :(

good for you :thumbsup:

I'll be spending this weekend packing my stuff. Moving next weekend.

Engine change progress is slow when you only have about an hour or two out of each day to work on it.... I've been staying late after work every day this week try to get the new motor in my car... finally got it set in the chassis late last night.. going today to finished hooking everything up, so hopefully I can start it up Monday or tuesday night.

Whenever I end up doing a Bseries swap, I'm going to end up building the engine up at home next time, and just have it ready to drop on day 1... this 'work on it when I have time' crap just doesn't work so well for swapping motors as I would like.

Yall should see what I've been driving for this past week while I've been working on my CRX... a friend from work let me use his 85 toyota pickup.... it's blue, rusty, one speaker, original radio, 4speed... and I work 60 miles from home.... so 120 miles each day in this thing is starting to get to me. But, at least it is something to drive for now.

the worst part is the danzig cd stuck playing in the radio because the buttons are broke...oh wait that's my brother's toyota truck :icon16:

it's been like 6mos. i would have at the very least yanked the radio out vs. the same cd day in & day out :dunno:

Turtle Wax is teh shizz mang :sunglasse

wife decide to buy her students' integra

Nice!

I guess that is a good choice for her. Almost every integra seen near me is driven by a woman.

it might happen, im lookin for a 4th gen for a daily driver... i got a decent job and its kinda a hail to there and back, im not driving my fullsize there everyday ill be broke as shit!

ya specially with 3 bucks a gallon...but then again its 3 bucks a gallon for water too :p.....we just need to bring back the flinstone days :-)

i dont mind the price, but at 13-15 mpg it adds up real fast at 60 miles aday
