I've just always had my eye out for a white crx... finally found the right mix of parts/price/no rust.
No winter duty for this car anymore, its getting a going over to rust proof it and being kept as a second nice weather car. I want it to last a long time and in the midwest that means never taking it out during the winter. The only reason it was in the crappy salt/snow on the way back was I fly out for it and didn't have any choice.

Nice. A clean white or black CRX of that generation is about the only FWD car I would ever buy to drive for myself. I had a beat-up old DX back when I used to have an 85 mile commute (each way).

Thankfully it isn't a British car . Started right up after I stood and stared at it/took picture. Also started up after another stop while out. I did spend some time getting idle stop and idle mixture dialed in... I know nothing about carbs though
Oh and it has alot more ooomph and sounds fantastic.

I am... without rigging up some crazy hybrid setup that no one has done... its cutting springs time.
Even the aftermarket 'lowering/performance springs' for the cars... come with a "we'll cut them in advance for you if you removed bumpers" note. Probably has something to do with the general age of the owners....

Oh and it had a fellow Pininfarina friend at the cruise night.
It was IMMACULATE. I didn't see a spec of dirt anywhere. The engine itself looked like brand new raw aluminum. Was pretty ridiculous.
