Selling for a few reasons. 1) I don't work on it or drive it. I've had it for years and it just sits there. 2)I want to buy one nice car and park it in the garage 3)My wife and I are having a baby in a few weeks, and I want to spend my time with my family instead.

I'll be back in the EF madness again. I've wanted a glass top crx for about 10 years. Maybe in a few years I'll start looking for one. I miss my old crx and this hatch has never filled the void.

Respectable, I know the time thing, and i hate the fact I have to keep on spending money to make me happy. I may take another route with this crx or just sell it. Either way good luck with the sale

In a perfect world, I would buy a house with a 3 or 4 car garage, keep the hatch and buy a tow vehicle. Then track the **** out of it. But there won't be time or money for that for the next several years, and honestly, I could use the break from working on a project car.

He said that would be in a perfect world. In his current situation, I would totally agree. As much as I hate to see anyone give up on a good project car that would be way harder to find down the line - i applaud you for your choice. Do what you need to do.

When my daughter was born I had sold my 80 celica and had picked up a overall clean intact datsun 510. The previous owner was a junkyard mechanic who had collected a ton of parts and hard to find pieces that he threw in. It had a sliding ragtop and was sitting on my 15x7 0 offset panasports that I kept from the celica -

I had to sell the whole shebang because it was just too hard to do with a new baby and at the time we lived in an apt with just a carport. I dont regret selling it, because that was when I dropped out of cars for a while to just be with family and concentrate on that.

I sold my crx because it was in my best interest when I bought my condo. A year later I was back at it with my hatch. It's just a car.

Shazam! I should put my car on ebay. If that car can pull $4800, I know I can get $5000+. Anybody ever sell a car on ebay?

yeah, that sale is totally bogus. No money will change hands. If the high bidder actually pays the seller, I'll hit my nuts with a hammer.

They never do. I had a hatch for a dd. It was my second hatch. It was fun, and it was cool, but it was no CRX. Just got home from selling some parts off of the old hatch. It has gone the way of the part out..... Which means my CRXes get Scooby Snacks! Got a header for the HF, some 00 Si wheels, and an RBC for the KRX. Now if only I can get the RBC to fit under the SiR hood. Anybody on here good with a tig welder?

IS there anyway to machine the flange or the hondata gasket to more of a wedge shape? Maybe angles the manifold down more?

From what I am told. If I relocate the vacuum port for the brake booster, and a few other mods it might work.

EDIT: Speaking of Hondata gasket. I wonder if removing it and going back to a stock gasket would help???? Also anybody make a Hondata style gasket for a D series? When my header comes, it is getting a y8 mani, and a chipped ECU. It would be nice to throw a better gasket in.

Ive seen the 99 itr on a crx (no airbair) So i guess a gsr wheel could work, but why? IIRC they are ugly.
