Well 2 nights ago i almost lost my life while in my 4runner. I was rear ended (while stopped) by my brother in his Tacoma going 50mph. It was a freak accident but scary as hell. I ended up flipped over on my side and received some serious whiplash.
I'm typing this with lots of back and neck pain and i'll be going to the hospital tomorrow.
Well now, all i have is my little CRX to get me to work and back. When i first bought it, i searched google and came across a few forums and started looking into simple mods such as wheels/tires/ and anything to improve its performance. Since i own a 1st gen i learned that RPR is the place to be.
I'm a diehard member of yotatech.com so i know about newbies and the fustraition of repeated questions. When it comes to Toyota trucks, i know a lot about lockers, tire sizes, motor swaps, suspension lifts, gearing, backspacing, dual transfer cases, parts, venders, soild axel swaps, etc....Well now that i no longer have a 4runner, which i already spent a few thousand on, i plan on putting a little more focus into my Honda untill i can get another trail rig.
About a week ago, i spent a lot of time here reading threads and I learned a ton of info in just a couple days. I then ordered a set of 15" Rota Slipstream wheels with Hankook 195x50x15 tires. I plan on getting the Energy Suspension Hyperflex Bushing Kit next. I read all about motor swaps too.
What i plan on doing now, is just restoring it back to "GOOD" working and looking condition. The motor still runs and has decent power but it does have 203,000 miles and it randomly smokes like crazy. It also has a rough idle. The PGM-FI light comes on everytime i drive it after a few miles. The heater makes a loud ass vibrating noise when i turn it on high..is that normal? I haven't found answers to any of those problems yet.
I bought new NGK wires and NGK Iridium plugs that will also be going on soon. So far thats all i've got for the engine.
I'm looking forwad to being a member here and watching my wallet become empty.
