Even though I am 13, i still love to work on project cars. If I were you I'd check to see how the engine has been taken car of, cause after 200k miles and obiosly a guy who didnt care crap of hiss car, u will probably find the cylinders rusted in place.

Benskins 11-22-2003 12:25 AM

engine is fine all i need to do is drop a new clutch in soon. i could pop that out in like 4 hours. and my bros friend gave me his old cd player/system what ever you wanna call it. so i am gonna change the oil and put that in 2maro.

drop like a 450 hp engine in it ( if it fits) and drag it. The people there will be like man you have a crx I will smoke you. Then you do like the a low12 second run while they do like high 14 with their heavy ol camaro.

My buddy with his civc blew his motor 4 times
My homegirl blew her accord once
My other friend fried his accord
and the prelude well I'm sad to say hasn't ever run again :(

But I love hondas not all of them run for ever just most.

sorry but it seems to me that you paid too much for it
no offence
nice project car

$500 isnt bad for a daily driver if it runs.. since it needs a clutch i probaly wouldnt have paid more then $300...

but oh well, your money your car. I sure as hell wouldnt put money into that car for anything but keeping it moving me fron point a to point b.

Benskins 11-24-2003 07:22 AM

well i was doin a bit of a tune up heres what i did: i changed the air filter
gas pump
plugs/wires/cap and rotor
upper and lower radiator hoses
flushed the radiator fluid
changed the oil
and i also steamed cleaned the engine
all the parts cost me about 112 dollars

i figure i saved my self a good 400-500 dollars.
im gonna start the body work 2maro.

dragon4450 11-24-2003 05:26 PM

dude seriousy i wasnt trying to be mean there i just think you payed too much for it. that thing has cancer like mad. and its not just on the serface. its going to take alot of work to keep it from spreading.

Benskins 11-24-2003 08:05 PM

i dont need a new clutch i just adjusted the clutch today and its fine now.

i am done with the tune up and this thing runs alot nicer. i am gonna start sanding my doors and other rust spots and get some primer for my spring paint job. i am also gonna start installing some speakers and a cd player.

Benskins 11-25-2003 05:22 PM

well i sanded my driver side door's rust off, it came off easy and didnt go through the whole sheet metal. i am gonna smooth it out with some bondo and primer it 2maro, i also sanded the hood where the bra was because the paint was all cracked where it was. other that that all the rust is gone besides the hole by the wheel. that is for the weekend though. this this is really shapping up, the tune up really helped the porformance, and i adjusted the clutch so i wont have to be buying a new one of those. i am also going to install an air intake this weekend. so i wil post a picture or 2 for those interested in viewing those.
