Car is in really good condition considering its ages. Its got a 1500 Sohc Injected motor (for the moment). Only done 143,000 kms, and isn't too rusty! ( And the plastic panels aren't too cracked!) At the moment I'm just going through fixing little things up and getting it up to a nicer standard. Progress so far: 1) Leak hunting. 1G crx's are notorious for water leaks, mine actually resembled a swimming pool after its first night out in the rain. So on Friday I got stuck in and ripped the rear interior out...
As I suspected the drains for the sunroof were both completely blocked with crap, and neither of the drain down pipes were connect to the outer guards (Effectively this meant all water from the sunroof was draining into the boot!). This was a pretty filthy job, also a good opportunity to try out the Camera I just bought from Greg! (Cheers mate, works awesome, and the Hannah Montana wrapping was top stuff!) With these cleaned and reconnect I moved to searching for rust. Luckly there wasn't much, these are normally rather rotten around the tail lights, and rear seams. Luckily it seems this car has been well looked after.
There was a bit on both sides, although it wasn't bad. I attacked it with a wirebrush and sandpaper as best I could, cleaned with prepsol, then got stuck in with the rust kill. Can rest easy now knowing that it won't get any worse. Next on the list was to replace the cracked tail light. Luckily I was able to find another mint one, it was also another good opportunity to search for rust.
After removing there was signs of a little bit of rust under the factory sealer, I picked it off, clean/sanded/rust-killed. Then instead of bogging/welding used a small bit of aluminum tape to seal the hole, benefit of this is that it won't become porous and trap the water, and it also fits flush behind the tail light.
Nice new tail light in. Its also throwing an ECU code, and has a funny miss issue under light throttle and when coldSo far have replaced- Main Relay- Two wire water temp sensor - Ordered new plugs, and a rocker cover seal as it needs it badly. Once the plugs are done I'm planning to check/clean the Dashpot system, 02 sensor, Fast Idle Valve, and set the idle mixture properly, as the car is running quite rich at the moment. This could be due to a leaky injector, or the funky 5th injector not working properly, will have to investigate. Any comments/suggests welcome
