About my car:
It is 1990 CRX Si Stock 100%. I bought it in October 1998 with
170K miles on it (current mileage 243K). It runs like new after I changed
all brakes and
then replaced water pump,
timing belt and radiator as a precaution.
A few other things like front motormount and clutch went bad. I did
clutch work myself spending $152 on parts. As I was inside I changed
rear engine seal.
Additionally I bent a stick shifter backwards to make it
more comfortable while driving on a highway as I adjust my seat
as far back as possible. Fog lights
by "Hella" is a great addition.
Russian front license plate I brought from my last trip to Russia.
Parts I am looking for
Maximum speed I saw on the dash was 125 Miles/hr and it still had some
room on the floor... I didn't
Pictures we made with my friend
Michael. He was shooting and I was driving....
- My overall opinion:
- My CRX Si was a pretty good to me for the time that I had it. I bought it
cheap and had some room to get things done. It had 172K miles on it, mostly
highway milage. How would I know that? - Headlights were blasted and were muddy.
It can happen only when you drive most of the time on the highway. City
drivers will probably crack the headlights first...
It's a dependable car. The only problem I had (it's
fixed now) with it was in May 99' when the engine started to die on me.
So I changed the fuel pump. From that moment I have to keep the fuel level
over the 50%. Why? I do not know exactly and none of the mechanics can tell
me what's wrong. I suspect that new strainer is not horizontal in the tank
and it may suck air with the fuel which may cause the air bubbles to be in
the system and when I'm stopping at the intersections engine either dies or
I have to wait a few seconds to let the fuel system get normal. It doesn't
happen on acceleration.
If anyone had this problem - I would appreciate your comments.
