ok i just got back from DMV earlier today and fees are all paid up. just washed the car so it doesnt look crappy on the outside. im kinda jealous of my GF cuz this crx has A/C. anyway i had a quick question on the A/T tranny where do i fill it with fresh fluid and where do i drain it. i kno im goin to honda in the mornin to get some fluid. since this car has A/C im gonna get driven around, lol

You drain it from a plug on the bottom like oil and fill it from the dipstick hole

ok. me and the GF are gonna start work on her crx this weekend. i was wondering wat kinds of things i should start out teaching her that most wouldnt believe to be too hard. any suggestions? will be takin many pics of the whole process as this will be her first time actually workin on a car.

NastyHabitzCRX

teach her how to change all the fluids the right way. that way you don't have to do it again

crx_si-r

yup thats one of the things that im gonna do. i had her buy the right stuff to do it so she now understands y i spend the cash i do on my parts.

crx_si-r

okay so this weekend didnt go as planned. we ended up sleepin in till noon, and by that time i didnt want to work on the car cuz i had to work at 2. so its been pushed back a lil. i have on the other hand started with the fixing the fender. its been sanded down and primered. im waiting fot the 2nd coat of primer to dry so i can add the first layer of paint to the fender.

Lucky to find one, its been hard for me to find any CRX's around here
found one a month back for $600 in ok condition ended up being sold the day i was gonna show up with cash..recently saw it driving around with a body kit... another ruined rex ..

but good luck with the repairs

crx_si-r

yeah, thanks for the encouragement. if all goes well we might end up takin both my crx and hers to crx expo in gilroy.

crx_si-r

well here we go, or should i say here she goes. my GF did her first tune up this mornin. all in all it went pretty well she did the following.....
engine flush
oil change
new spark plugs
fuel filter
tranny flush
and we also put on the vx rims

well here are the pics......


































off hand does anyone know what color this is? the door jamb says r64 (rio red) but the color under the molding was the rio red and the paint didnt match up when i painted the fender.

I don't see jack stands.

crx_si-r

yea i kno. i got lazy. lol. so does anyone kno wat color code this is?

I CRX I

well you have to keep in mind this car is very old and has been thru alot of sun, also a possible respray so the color is barley going to match what it originally looked like. your just going to have to hunt for a shade of red that closley resembles the color you have now, not the color it used to be. and remember, when purchasing a paint color, spray it on a surface area and let it dry. it may change color after its dry.

That car is/was rio red. I belive dx and hf models recieved no clearcoat, can anyone confirnm that? That explains why it's so faded.

I was thinking the same thing, goo thing the car did not fall on her head, I don't think "I am lazy" would cut it lol.

crx_si-r

yea i kno. but looks like the car might be ready for crx expo. just gotta smog it and we will both be there.

RedCRXSI

ooooooooo you guys planning to take both crx's?

90Zcrx

I think I only notice things like that because I'm old. I once had my old 99 teg fall off a jack. Luckily I wasn't under it, and all it did was broke the bottom end tank of the radiator to pieces. If I had been under it, I'd have a crushed something and it wouldn't be pretty.

crx_si-r's girlfriend: make sure you use jack stands next time. nobody wants to hear about you getting crushed under a CRX. Especially an automatic CRX (just kidding)

crx_si-r

ok i took the new crx on its first day out. and i noticed that the tach doesn't work. now i kno its an automatic but i would still like to have everything running great. it does this intermittently cuz later on in the night it started workin does anyone know what might be causing this to happen?
