Post a picture of your vehicle here Part 5 (don't quote pictures, 24h ban!)

I honestly think it'll be a bad move KKV, I'm all for each to their own but it's basically going to be solid black at this stage.
You need something to break it up a bit.
The current wheel colour does that perfectly!

I woke up this morning still undecided but kinda leaning towards black. I've been googling and googling pictures of wheels on cars trying to decide. I think it's cos I rarely ever see black wheels on cars, and when I do, I do tend to like them. Not sure why, but I just think they look good in general.

Your choice at the end of the day. But mark our words, it will ruin the look of the car! Everyone has told you that. How the black appeals to you is beyond me, I'd nearly pass them off as steelies. Anyway, I think everyone has given their input, which is strongly against the black, you're big enough to make the decision yourself!

So finally got a the Crx out at the weekend for a spin.Got a few pics as well:

YbFocus · 29-02-2016 10:22pm

Awesome

GvidoR · 29-02-2016 10:33pm

Agreed, that CRX looks unreal.

wotzgoingon · 29-02-2016 10:43pm

Wow that CRX looks mint. Must have cost a few quid.
Is it a Jap import?

ShadowHearth · 29-02-2016 11:08pm

Nice crx. Very very rare these days, specially 1.6 vtec.

Drove my friends one recently amd they are some animals. No power steering, light and very low.

colm_mcm · 29-02-2016 11:27pm

The blue one

GvidoR · 29-02-2016 11:52pm

Is it just me, or does the blue one look smaller?

Mister Jingles · 29-02-2016 11:55pm

Looks like it's parked further back from the red one and slightly lower as well.

colm_mcm · 29-02-2016 11:58pm

Yep, funny angle. But it had lower suspension.

From a different angle

vintagevrs · 01-03-2016 12:03am

Thanks man, it's not mint but it is fairly clean. Needs a bit of tidying. I changed the VTEC solenoid gaskets on Saturday as there was a leak from them and I installed a radio.
Needs some other small jobs done but will keep me busy over the summer.
Yeah it's a Jap alright.

Ah it didn't look like the park so I wasn't sure. Stayed a couple of nights on one of those islands many moons ago!

wotzgoingon · 01-03-2016 3:01pm

Those FTO's are so expensive to insure. Nobody does them on classic insurance either even though a 1996 would qualify.

colm_mcm · 01-03-2016 3:09pm

Pretty sure there are companies out there that do classic on them. If you saw the price of parts for them you'd understand why they're so hard to insure!

Donnelly117 · 01-03-2016 4:21pm

Do you still own that Colm? What do you daily drive? Or is the FTO your daily?

I got a quote as a daily for just below €1500 and another company for €2600 and rang a fair few of the classic companies and none would take them on. Sorry we do not do classic insurance on those cars etc...

The quote of €1500 is still too expensive for me especially considering I can get quotes a lot cheaper on other 200 bhp cars but the only thing is those cars cost a lot more than what I could pick up a FTO for.

No, I need a family car these days

have a 1.8 civic for the last few years

Before that I had an S Type

Before that I had a daysul Avensis

Before that I got a Shogun from the UK and converted it to commercial

There's been a few more along the way, but those are the main ones

Truckermal · 01-03-2016 6:20pm

That's my back door....:p

Here she is..

colm_mcm · 01-03-2016 7:37pm

and isnt she lovely.

GustavoFring · 01-03-2016 7:38pm

The more pressing issue with that would be if she had a draw bar or not.

GvidoR · 01-03-2016 7:47pm

A lot of bird droppings on that Avensis, Colm. :eek:

colm_mcm · 01-03-2016 7:49pm

yep. it's a bird magnet.
