My ecu isnt chipped either (as far as I know) and it will peg it down past 8k if you shift into 2nd at about 85ish.

I like the 71-77 too but harder to find parts...

All-trac celicas are hard to find also. Ben's Rally Car list usually has them in nice race trim for a pretty penny.

TSC, that doesn't sound right...

What would be a good car to get after owning a crx?

What doesnt sound right? I'm planning on my next car to be a vw... I allready have too many cars though.

The first gear at 85mph maybe kph... or the burying the tach without hitting a rev limiter...

My wife's VW just got the CEL on yesterday. If it's the Mass Airflow Sensor again, I'm going to be pissed...

I need more money...

No, I was talking about being in third, and hitting second insted of 4th. It will bury the hand down all the way but a rev limiter has never kicked in (only happend twice and it was only for a second or so).

Parts availability is not a concern :P I can get just about anything through Toyota (and at an employee discount

)

As for the alltrac... they are very hard to find, yes.... every time I find one and call about it, it's usually already been sold... I found one rather close to me though for 1,500 and it's not running, but the body and interior are straight and rust free... I might go look at it this weekend if it's still there.

I still haven't found a 1st gen, but I could probably pick one up on eBay and have it shipped here. If I got a 1st gen, I'd be tearing it down completely and rebuilding it from the ground up as a show/race car only, so the condition wouldn't be as big a factor.

Nothing.... I'd give my left nut to be able to find another un-molested CRX......... there was NO car I enjoyed more than my CRX.... I just never have been able to find another one in as good of condition as I would like. Maybe one of these years....

Who here has read "Darwin's Blade" by Dan Simmons? The main character drives an Acura NSX. I'm only on Chapter 3 but it seems very auto oriented.

I've just been busy...and high (on life of course

)

CRX is now completely primer grey... no more green. I just have to fabricate a small piece of sheet metal to the driver side rear 1/4 panel/fender and bondo, sand and primer. It may be meticulous though because I'll have to test fit the rocker/side skirt which may not mount up on the bottom side since I had to cut most of it away due to rust. I have to go to the dealership to get the non-reusable screw things for it as well. It should look close to stock when finished. Also, I resanded and primered the roof and from a distance you can't even tell that a sunroof ever was present. Pics will be posted when it's done.

Hey, I'm pretty proud of the work I've done so far. I'd say not to fucking bad for a white collar person. Oh btw, if I keep my crx, it's getting painted (not by me) gunmetal grey and new suspension parts and rims.
