[Exterior Description]
Its a 99% rust free car which as you know is difficult to find. I believe its been a northeast car all its life. NY, PA and now NJ. The car was sprayed flat grey/black by the previous owner who worked at a body shop. It is very even and doesnt look bad at all. I rattlecanned my 89 civic si years ago and it came out terrible. I wouldnt mind driving this for a while until I got it painted. I believe the car was in some sort of accident because the front end doesnt seem to line up 100% Rad support looks fine and all welds are OEM so there was no frame damage. It looks like a simple realigning (of mainly the bumper filler piece) It does have a clean title.
[Interior Description]
Pretty damn clean. The stock recaros are so comfortable and unlike 85% of the civic/crx si seats... NO TEARS! There are however three cigarette burns in the drivers seat. Not from me or the previous owner, neither of us smoke. The climate control isnt perfect but everything works. You have to pull the drivers seatbelt back into the door whenever you use it which is annoying but its there. Honda has a lifetime warranty on their seatbelts and since it doesnt retract properly I dont see why they wouldnt take care of it. Where there would be map lights, its been taken out. I thought CRXs didnt even come with map lights though so who knows. The back...err seat area is kinda messed up too. I had someone sit back there once (had no choice) and she dislodged everything. Its all there and in relatively good condition it just needs to be bolted down again.
[Overview]
I bought this car in December because I wanted another Honda. However, I'm thinking that this might not be for me. I always wanted a CRX and now that I got my hands on one I'm kind of hating the boy racer stigma again. I sold my 93 si for a prelude because I thought it was more grown up, and now I think I might be done with Hondas for good...at least for my primary car. Maybe a project down the road. I feel that I'm going to dump more money into this car than I want to if I keep it. The car is great though and I dont need to sell it. I daily drive it as its my only car. It starts on the first try, warms up quickly (heat is great, too) and is really a go-kart as cliché as it is. I drove it home two hours from PA after driving it for five minutes before I purchased it and I had zero problems on the way home. The grind is kind of nasty right now but its only at around 6,000 RPM and the only reason you're up that high is if you're racing which I really dont care to do. I've used synchromesh before and have had wonderful results; to the tune of no more grind at all. The previous owner thinks the short shifter caused the grind because it didnt do it before it. We'll see. The shell has 135,000 miles on it. The code 43 is there for who knows what reason. Maybe the chip but there's no lack of fuel, nothing. There are some squeaks from the suspension and very little rattles but it IS a 1991 Honda so remember that.

Understand that by no means do I need to sell the car. I just think I'd rather have a car payment than a 91 crx with thousands and thousands dumped into it.

Sure, but most likely no Hondas.
