90 si. Red. Standard. From Ohio.

I spent a day and a half, literally, on a grayhound bus. Rode up, picked up my CRX, drove it to the nearest shop and had all the fluids/oil changed. Drove it back home. Had a hell of a good time. 1400 miles one way. CRX just totally freakin quit on me half way back, no bail out plan...

I purchased an ebay header for a crx of mine. A DC 4-2-1 knockoff. Problems: Shitty gaskets: Replaced with fel-pro's from autozone. Shitty quality flange: Not so much a lack of thickness, but ugly cuts. Shitty port matching: Easily fixed with a die grinder and a few hours of careful work...

Incredible. That was an absolute shit load of chalk or paint or whatever they used.. Must have been months of work.

Bah, buy the monkeys, open a pet shop in the US, and sell the little fuckers for a thousand a pop. America. Where you can sell $35 monkeys for $1000.

Not too bad a price. Its getting quite difficult to find them. +1 on the knocking off 1k bit. show up with cash or your own financing and tell him 5,200 out the door. Yes or no. Once chance, No bargaining.

Every moving part. Don't glop it on there though.. That will just cause this stuff to happen all over again. Grease up the sliders, the rails, pivots, everything.

Take your time with it! Its a pain in the ass for sure. Pretty self explainatory though. Remove everything that is in its way, then remove it.

Take it all apart, clean everything, clean out the drains. Inspect for overly worn, broken or cracked parts. Clean some more. Grease it up and put it all back together. It'll work like a champ again.

You can get new ones from honda. Cheap. Some machine shops and some auto parts stores will carry them as well. Don't re-use the old ones. You can assemble the head without the dowels but I would not recommend it.

Damn nice car. :thumbsup: Welcome to HS.

You took the actual steel bumper out? You realize that if you hit something your engine is going to be sitting in your lap, right?

Looking to maintain any handling? I'd vote a heavily built b20 with a ridiculous amount of boost.

You should experiment with a spell checker. And what the hell is a cell phone pic doing in this awesome thread?

I may have a nightmare starring this pic. Chills the spine.
