it's a really good thing i walk to work b/c it was 97* and 67% humidity

so no a/c in the crx is only a pain when i have to drive somewhere at length

I'm still toying with the a6 supercharged idea. It'd be classy for sure. Oh & I'm fixing the a/c, just gotta find some time to diagnose it.

This was the route I was planning for my CRX as well, after seeing STREET's og setup, plus I really didnt want to pull my engine so soon after the rebuild. Now that I have the Civic with the B16, I was gonna take it for the crx, and as I get older and more tired I'm tempted to leave the B16 where it is and still pick up a SC.

By the way though, remember, the Jackson SC is not widely available anymore, if you want a new kit, you need to find a shop that has leftover inventory. Moss and Jackson no longer have them available.

LOL, so soon after I talked two fellow members out of not abandoning their Honda projects, I found myself contemplating the same thing recently. Dont get me wrong, I love my EF's and EF's in general, but I do hate putting so much time, effort and money into inflated parts pricing, to have a car that will only see occasional driving due to worry about theft.

When I build a car, I want to enjoy it at will and drive the hell out of it. I honestly contemplated selling the CL, the Civic and the CRX and just picking up a used ES300 and a MK II MR2 Turbo (or a 240Z).

Dont worry, just a guy rambling, I dont think I'll do anything that rash just yet, and if I did, I definately make sure both cars went to good homes. I may just be speaking out my *** since I havent been able to work on either car for so long. Maybe once I get back into them, it'll remind me why I like them so much.

I might be trading in the Honda Fit.

It's still worth more than I paid, so that's a good thing. now, I gotta see if I can/want to dish out the payments for an evo X.

I have a buddy at mitsubishi that can get me into one below invoice. I'm gonna have to crunch some numbers. GAS PRICES being part of the equation.

That's a big concern of mine as well. I'd like to get a wrx wagon, but it's hard to beat the mpg's of a civic sedan. A fit is still a bit out of my budget.

I'd just keep the fit. I don't see gas prices going down anytime soon, and if you want something fun to drive (faster than an evo ) you've already got one parked in the garage.

I really like the new wagons. I dont know anybody at subaru.

EDIT: ...oh wait, yeah I do. Hmmmmm. decisions.

the honda fit is boring as hell. i had fun at the race track and i enjoy the mileage. but i think any car would have been fun on that track.

My new A/C compressor came in yesterday. Paid $142 shipped/insured for it on ebay. It's a reman. Sanden compressor. I fixed my air last year, but the compressor clutch locked up and it stayed on one day while I wasnt using it so it just froze the lines and made the motor act funny as hell. Luckily it didnt cause any other damage.This 95 degree weather is killin me. I can't wait to get that new compressor installed and the system charged again.

If I didn't shoot weddings I'd just motorcycle it around everywhere.

Anyone else notice old Honda bikes becoming harder to get a hold of?

Tangents anyone?

My trip to Asheville & back burned about 3 qts of oil. No lie.

If the BMW M coupe becomes too far fetched of an idea I may shoot for a civic si sedan.

I hear you. I'm getting a little bored of the DA, and how impractical it is. Sure it has a backseat, but hardly anyone can fit back there. I miss having 4 doors.

I'm tempted to get a late 90's-early 2000's Subaru wagon, but at my current financial situation, I have to face the fact that I already have a car that gets 30mpg and doesn't have a monthly payment. Regardless of how much more i'd like the subaru wagon over the DA.

I just need to do a few things to the DA to tide me over i guess. I'm tired of these LS mesh wheels. Anybody wanna trade?

However you are also right about gas mileage...almost everycar i can think of that I think would be a nice DD and cool to boot, seems to have a penalty as far as gas mileage. And as Adam said, I dont think it's going away anytime soon.

Gas mileage alone kills a few choices even more than pricing does. I'm just lucky my commute is like 9 miles. If I were still treking to Westwood, there's no way i could keep using my CL, I'd have to daily the CRX.

Shoot, today I saw a freaking nice range rover sport on some nice 20's. If gas wasnt an issue, I'd take one please.

The legacy starts about 4k higher than a wrx.
