sgtjackass Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I am, quite frankly, disgusted in this car. But after I lost my job and became broke i had to find a cheap hack. And cheap it is. Auckland to Palmy for $35 bux, amazing fuel economy. Its raggedly fast but I feel like im in a coffin. My gf refuses to get in it. I dont blame her, it is disgusting and the front guards and bottom of the doors are made of plastic. Basically everything black on the car is plastic. I know how much everyone likes hondas so thought I would post it Specs: 1985 Crx Ballade sports 1.6 dohc zc engine 145hp, Manual Box No real exhaust. 2 1/4 inch, couple of resonators Aluminium intake pipe, cheap foam Pod Weighs 800 kg, seats 2 Torsion bar front end, springs rear. Basically looking into putting it on the track, and using it as a daily until everything is good on the job front. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Are you sure it's not the horrible yellow and black combo that's stopping the girlfriend getting in? Otherwise it looks sweet. Paint it white. Or all black, or all yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insani-T Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I would probably rock that as is. But then I have no taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Star Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Stop complaining, CRX's are ace... bloody hillarious good fun, light, nippy and cheap as chips to run. Paint it pink and orange Replace your girl profit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtjackass Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 My girls a keeper, meh shes got her own car anyway. or theres the bus. Not sure about the pink and orange bit. Plans are to lower it, upgrade shox and sway bars, strip it, paint it black and use as daily. Might look into tickling the engine a little aswell. Ive just done a road trip in it, so goddam loud almost need ear plugs or something. Maybe I should just roll around with a helmet on.

Vintage Grumble Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Ive been for a ride in one of them, ended in going sideways down the road at aboout 120kmh (slowing down from an off the clock mish) and getting hit in the LH side by a camry, I was in the passenger seat, luckly for me it hit the front guard, sent us spining down the road, camry went up a bank and rolled, slid down the road on its roof. Ahh I have fond memories of CRX's. But yeh, fast little suckers, but they can get a bit of a wiggle on in the rear under heavy braking. Good luck.

thegreatestben Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I've had one of these and my mate owns two (just bought a genuine multipiece mugen kit for it) They are fun and fast but don't inspire confidence, I wouldn't like to be in one in a crash. They make an mr2 seem like a lexus after driving my mates one for a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmystar Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I wouldn't mind one of these. wouldn't be keen on that colour though. Prefer the popup eyelid model and colour choice would be two tone white top and gunmetal bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
