After selling the corsa I had my starlet for abot a year and a half..

looked like this when i sold it:




Well, after saving over last couple of months after selling my starlet and rocking a sh1te runabout for a while (still have it) i bought this.

Honda CRX SiR. Just back from paint so far soo good, is the import so has half leather, tintop roof (rare), LSD and about 170bhp with aftermarket exhaust manifold and induction It's on D2 coilovers, same as i had on starlet. Only plans are painting the wheels and give it a good polish. (needs it)

Cheers Rob.

Yes, quicker than i expected to be honest. Pulls well also, everyone goes off and one and moans about the torque on them but no complaints about it at all. Pulls well through the gears.

LSD is awesome. Handling is Still wheelspins a bit in the wet between 1st and 2nd but the wheels have quite a mad camber on them so maybe has something to do with it. Doesnt spin up nearly as much as the jordan in pics.

Looking at that pic of the starlet makes me miss it Main reason for selling was that insurance didnt drop too much, mileage was really high and needed money spent on it so I sold it before I lost too much money

c8rsa, didnt even realise you were from town! corsa looks similar to my mate hammy's

My mates got a CRX aswell, not sure on the model. A 1.6, always goes on about it hitting 'Vtec' like all other Honda people.

It is seriously quick though, nice car btw, loved the Starlet though!!!

yeah its a good place, usually! some people are way too uptight on there, and they dont like me cause i had a bodykit! hated from day one... its a very different experience than being on this forum! but i think its cause most people are older on there.

anyway have fun with the car
