Such a nice ride - 90 EX

[HondaFan81]

My 90 EX, 5 spd has been sitting in the garage for the past 6 months or so. I've been tryin to start it once-a-week for 20-30 min, just to keep things circulatin.

Anyhow, we're about to put it back on the road, today had the bodywork quoted @ $2,981 which will be done in Spring 2004 sometime. This helps when I get to the point of changing the color from Seattle Silver (light gold metallic) to a Silver w/charcoal metallic finish...it'll just be a paint change, already prepped for it.

So in driving it around...it rode so so nice. It's just nice to drive around a car that rides mint. I'm so used to having lil quirks that annoy the piss out of me & get the usual "add it to the list" of shit to do on the cars. It was nice not to think that for a change.

It helps I have new coil springs & struts in good condition all-around & many of the key suspension bushings were replaced = nice ride.

Sounds nice!

I wish my list of "things to do" would start shrinking instead of growing

Yup, I'm going back to factory bushings myself. Besides, after 11 years I think its time to replace some of the original bushings.

does it need changing cause you know the sayin about shit if it aint broke dont fuck with iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[HondaFan81]

he'll know if he just gives them a quick look and finds them cracked/dry rotted.

they do make a noticeable difference when replaced

I think mine are prolly gone...if people stop hitting me, I'll find time to do it.

[HondaFan81]

well if you would quit smashin into them

[HondaFan81]

had timing belt, water pump, acc belts, crankshaft & camshaft seal replaced on the F22a4 engine in this car couple days ago

geeze, it's pushing 250K & all this was done....by time I get to droppin rebuilt F22a1 engine...my F22a4 will have an extended life

not that bad, I can always turn around & sell the F22a4 engine & 5 spd tranny
