Now, I can definitely tell, that fourth-generation of civic's is incureable disease - when you are sure that you have cured from it - boom, and you are riding back home in your new old ED. At the beginning, I was searching for non-4th gen!!!, non-red, non-carbed, hatchback civic, and I have ended with red, dual carb 4th civic hatchback (EC9) :D

My next car was 4th sedan civic ED4. I was prepared for body, and paint job, but when engine had blown, I have sold it to my friend with same model (ED4), but in very bad body condition, he had put his engine, and better parts, and saving money for body =)

When I was searching for the next hatchback, I have found by chance CRX in good price, about 300km from me. There was huge water leak from back of the engine, some rust, and weak paint job (Car was painted, about four years ago, but it looks like 26year paint) but price compensate everything.
The first idea for this CRX was cheap daily - do only necessary things, and ride around the city, but it was stupid idea. :D

I have many pics from modifications, but I do not want to post them if nobody is interested.

I have just discovered (after 9 months) that I have "CRX" stop light.

I have to straight it
