Dude let it set in a corner and collect dust. You will regret selling it the second leaves.

Nice! I started a project once with removing all the seam sealer and brackets and completely shaving it, but this time I wanted to do a simple, OEM look, just freshened, tucked and clean.

My wife has told me a couple times I should sell my sedan and just drive the RL, but I tell her it doesn't make much sense to sell it because I really wouldn't get that much money, it's paid off, I have a history with it now (although nothing like your history with yours) and I'll probably never find another one as clean. Don't do it. If you're bored, just store it somewhere and mess with something else for a while.

Should. Bring your car and do the Hyperdrive…that’d give you a good reason to keep it.

Sell these. Don't do it. Your hatch is rad. There really isn't anything else like it out there. I gather you can afford to have it sit and collect dust for a while...so just do that.

My girlfriend says to me the other day, "so I take it any house you own from here on out will have to be AT LEAST a three car garage?" I simply responded, "yes, because the CRX and coupe aren't going anywhere!"

I was looking for a 2 car garage, but I don’t want a house. Wife and I compromised with a townhouse with only a 1 car garage then she made me sad by having me ride over to my daughters friends house for a sleepover…had a beautiful 5 car garage

I didnt mean sell it honestly. I thought a week or so ago you were saying you were going to keep it... due to that 80 year old man I talked to that was still fixing his crx up. I vote keep it and sell everything else, use that money to spark some interest. I always lose interest come october/november. december/january its just too cold. were all in the same boat, except some of the west coasters.
There is not anything in this world I would sell my crx for. (my beater, sure) I have started realizing my car is like a child or a pet to me..I live to accommodate it! As nick said too, I will never be able to live/own a house without a garage.
Get out there and go beat on her for a couple blocks.. she'll remind you why you should keep her.

My machine shop was able to repair the nut and stud, luckily.

Anyone know why the hell honda decided to have ground wires and signal wires cross from one harness in the engine bay over to a separate harness? I'm trying to clean up my old semi-tuck and bring the fuse box into the cockpit. I know they routed the grounds back up the harness to meet the ground block for the headlights on the passenger side, but all the other wires they've got jumping all over the place is annoying!

Also, does anyone know of an aftermarket rear subframe brace? Mine apparently has cracked where the rear engine mount bolts to it. It's got a couple of good cracks near the front bolt.

Im in the same boat as you, minus the mag cause i will never be in one of those, just put it to the side nad forget about it. Find a new hobby, collect stamps then in 6months get back in it, and start it up and romp on it. It will all come back to you and we will see a parting out stampp collection thread sequentially after.

Weather is killing me too, got over 23inches in that last blast up the coast, and now there calling for more today. Shoveling snow 3weeks before shoulder surgery is hellll! Cars are all I have to keep me sane, and maybe this discussion. I hope to make it south or west eventually, but home is home.

Post pics! well hate on it and give you something to do! hahaa!
Ive been contemplating a thread for the Queen now that Ive been digging in again. More of a question and picture whoring thread.. I feel like I already do it in here though!

exactly the reason, when chris sullivan, the photographer who shot my car, told me Super Street wanted to do a full shoot/feature on my hatch, i said

"WHAT? WHY??"

when our CRX, gutty, was featured in HT recently, they wanted it for its oddity, and cheapness....another goofball car. haha

If you were to sell the hatch what project would you replace it with? RWD, AWD, another Honda?

Finally rounded up some time to get my transmission out and found this awaiting me. :/ The symptoms that I was describing put many of you right on the money diagnosing my problem.

Same thing happened to me years ago in my old crx. At least you didn't have to push your car from the 1st drive-thru window to the 2nd window in order to pick up your food.
