Great relationship w PO.  Confidence having that information.

As for the notebook, must not be a car guy

AC would not cool so had a nearby shop look it over and turns out front seal on the compressor let go.  Probably why it was so noisy.  For some reason I had it in my head that it was a Sanden compressor but turns out it was a Keihen.  
 

based on old posts has me concerned since we converted it to R134 and prior reports of that being an issue.  Also noticed that the rock auto site has a note not to use R134 in this compressor.  
 

time will tell.  I can not find anything that explains why the Sanden is okay with it but the Keihen isn’t.

Took the car out for a short run to pick up some dinner last night.  It was a nice cool 112 outside so figured it would be a good test how well it cools.  Things stayed nice and comfortable throughout the drive and after parking it for a bit to run inside to pickup dinner.

never plan on intentionally driving her in conditions this hot but if we had to we could.

How’s the temp out there?  Heats finally broke here in Dallas. Can finally drive the car comfortably wo ac again.

Finally starting to come down out here too.  Mid to upper 90s all week.

Took both of the CRXs to our church car show this weekend.  After about 6 hours of cleaning the 86 is much cleaner now. I know I am still going to find dirt though.

Had some great conversations with people about the cars and stories they have about these fun little cars.  People were shocked by the engine swap in the 86 and by how original the 85 is.

Love it!   Yea.  That video is an awesome watch….  Engine is a monster

Got an amazing Craigslist score.  1985 mesh option wheels with new tires.  They are in really good shape except for the clear coat.  Guy only wanted $300. SOLD!

local company refinishes wheels so I’ll see what they want to address that.  Now I can sell the Prelude mesh wheels I had found previously.

Good deal!   Last time I saw mesh…. They were gold.   Like 20 years ago

I’ve only seen them a few times they sure are rare and even more so now days.  Couldn’t pass them up and think they will look sporty on the 85.
