[Taco15]

Andrew: I'm sure you won't have a problem checking in on the crx's progress from time to time.

This is all still very sad to me Least I get to drive her one last time before we pull the engine.. Which I assume will be Thursday.

 

[Taco15]

While you're at it give my car a wash.......yep. it's mine now.

 

[mac_24_seven]

Ha. I'm gonna put a couple shrimp somewhere in it

 

[Taco15]

That would suck. you would then suck too.

 

[mac_24_seven]

No worries man. I'd never do that.
In school though, this guy did put some guts of some random animal (think possum) under this other guys hood (he was pissed at em) all over the engine and in the cowl.

Needless to say, it wasn't nice, as it was winter time and cold so whenever dude turned on the heat it was rancid.

 

[Taco15]

don't worry about waxing it.....just wash it.

let me know when you guys decide to take the motor out. I'll do my best to head out and help.

 

[mac_24_seven]

As far as I know, were doin it Thursday afternoon. Shouldn't take but an hour or so and you should be ready to pick it up.

 

[Andrew]

Ugh, sorry Abel, I'm leaving early friday morning for a 2 day ASL convention in Tampa. We can't do it Thursaday. We're working that thursday to make up for missing Sunday.

I will let both of you two know when I plan to do it!

 

[mac_24_seven]

Alas... A sad post.

The last picture with Andrew and his CRX in running form.

t3h bay.

:S

Boooo.

Literally, this is what we used to pull the engine.

So, thats that...

Took 1hr 30 mins to pull the engine. Thats including getting it up on jacks to pushing it out in the yard.

:]

 

[Taco15]

Finally got it home and of course i left Andrew's a few hours ago to finalize everything.
I'm happy and excited for the long road ahead.

Thanks alot Andrew and can only hope to be able to make a thread as epic as this.

 

[mac_24_seven]

So it's gone. I dunno why I am so attached to that car. <sighs> I guess its time for Andrew to close the thread?

[Taco15]

And so it sits in my front yard waiting to ride again......

 

[mac_24_seven]

Yeah, IBTL.

Good times in that lil car. Just remember, hit me up whenever you wanna change wheels. I may be able to take em off your hands.

 

[Taco15]

Yeah, IBTL.

If i can find a good deal on some nice colored ones I'll sell them.
the ones Andrew has before looked pretty good to me.

I think they were drag or Gt3's or something. either way i think the repolish makes them much better.

 

[Andrew]

Rota Slips

 

[Taco15]

not those! the red ones that I also saw on the 4 door DA. I liked those.

 

[Andrew]

Oh. Yeah those were Terrance's 16" GT3's.

 

[mac_24_seven]

Yeah, I traded them for my bronze Rota C8s. Dude painted them gold :S
