Getting The Car Ready
So this week I am going to be prepping the car to officially start work on it. There is a bunch of items I have to do so that way I can make some decent progress when I start. I have lift it up and I think the cheapest route to do this is going to be put it on some cinder blocks. I know it sounds redneck but that's what I have laying around. I also have to put some air in the tire that way I roll it better. Also it needs a really good cleaning. But I do have to give myself credit I have been washing the outside. Hopefully soon I will be able to get some pictures on soon. So stay tuned for more updates.

New Poll: Whats your favorite region of car manufacturer?
I am making a poll today to see where your favorite manufacturer is located. If you don't see your region I am sorry. You can discuss your opinion down below if you want. I like Asian manufacturers because a lot of their vehicles are customizable and they are also fuel economical.

The Reason
So I never really went over the reason why I chose a CRX. One is that the insurance is really cheap. My insurance payment was about 85 bucks a month with my given record. Two is that parts are really easy to come by. I mean I can almost go to any junk yard and pick up any used part from almost any Honda from the late 80's and it will be interchangeable. Three is it gets really good gas mileage. I get about 32 MPG which I think is pretty good. And last and definitely not least is that it can be customized to the max. There are many other reasons but those are my top four.

Whats Wrong: Part 6 - High Idle
So when I first bought the car after it was warmed it would cycle from 500 rpm to 1500 rpm. Its more annoying than anything. I don't think it is a major problem. I was driving one day and the guy before the guy I bought it from told me to just pull up on the gas pedal and it worked.

Another Idea
So I have come across another idea. I think I may end up taking a loan out to complete the car so that way we can gt things moving a lot quicker. I know that this is going to be a long process but it will be worth it in the end. Let me know of your ideas.

Whats Wrong: Part 5 - Starting
So what happens is that every now and then it won't start. I think it may be the battery. But it has been sitting a long time now and when I hook up the jump pack the starter doesn't even click over. So what I believe it may be is the starter.

Whats Wrong: Part 4 - The Windshield
So there is a giant crack in my windshield. It first started as a small crack but when it got colder out the crack became bigger. Then at one point it just cracked across the entire windshield. That I have no choice but to replace the windshield.
