Default Just bought a CRX (first car)!!!! =)

Hey ya'll, just bought my first car. It's an 88 CRX Si for $800.....it's stock, it has 191,??? miles, needs some body work (nothing major), new paint, stereo, and some interior work.
Other then that the car runs good. I'm new at driving manual so im a lil shaky, but I'm getting use to it a lil.

I'll try and post pics soon!!!

thats pretty nice i paid 500 for my si hatch with 111xxx miles, but a bit of rust and mismatched hood and fenders. still great car for the price.

a engine swap, some body repairs and a good paintjob and you'll have a pretty nice ride. hows the interior look?

yeah... cut out that cancer before it spreads. My sedan had rust on the hood... just get a new one, and fast. Scout the junkyards until you find one cheap.

I personally think you should get a white hood. TOo many people here have black hoods and it's supposed to be some sort of fashion statement. Get a white hood to be different.

haha nice ! my first car was a crx, at first i was like what the crap is this cause my dad got it from his friend. it was in such good condition but i blew the clutch (250k with stock clutch !) so my dad gave it back and i bought an ep3 later. sold the ep3 and now i miss the crx even though it aint that much of a chick magnet
