Name: Ryan PrusinskiCar: 91 CRX DX Color: Flint Metallic Black Where do I start when it comes to my car? Guess I starts about a year ago when I started driving my 88' Accord. Drove it for a few months before I decided that I'd like to start having fun with my car. Really all I did to that was put an pacesetter exhaust on my car. Probably would still be driving that car if it wasn't for 2 things: I wanted a 2 door, I wanted a 5 speed. I wanted to stay with a Honda though. So I started looking around in early October for a car, wasn't sure what I wanted, looked at a few accords, a few late model civics but they were all too expensive. We went to a dealership in mid November too look at a CRX. Needless to say I knew nothing about them, really didn't know much about them, but loved it right away, had dreams about it from all things(lol). We ended up buying it the day after Thanksgiving, it turned out to be a nightmare! 2 weeks after I bought the car I heard a rattling sound from under the engine at idle, I didn't know what it could be so I took it to the dealership to have them check it out. They lifted it up and said that it would need a clutch kit for it. And with the sucker I am with having to have things done right and knowing it is I let them fix it for $900. Drove great for another 2 weeks. Then it happend...I was driving home Christmas morning from my dads house and it was icing outside. Was driving under 30, the posted speed was 40, came up on an intersection and the light turned red, i was about 300-350 feet from the light when i started breaking. Problem was, it wasn't working i just slid that entire distance. Right when I got to the intersection I lost control and was in a free spin. Ended up hitting the curb on the other side of the intersection with the front drivers then the car spun around a final time hitting the rear. Drove it home the rest of the way and waited until a couple days later when it warmed up to have a friend of my dads come pick up the car(car had radiator damage from what I knew then). They took it to their shop and looked under it and called me They said it had somewhere around $2600 in frame damage. Ended up getting it fixed for $900 by jewing them down and the car was up and running agian. I started buying stuff for my car, started with the clear corners and bumpers followed by indiglo gauges. And just recentely 16" American Racing Painted Carrera rims wrapped in Falken Ziex 205-4016 tires. And an Alpine CDM-7854 CD player. I have a pair of 12" subs i plan on installing into my car later on. I have more pictures give me an email and i'll send them to you!! |
