My New 1987 ED9 CRX

[White Noise]

Hey guys and gals,

Got this this morning in Orange for 1k. Only a few minor problems that I can see. Guy thought fuel pump was stuffed so he changed it but still wouldn't start. Turns out the battery was dead so after a top up of distilled water and a charge starts first time, every time

Needs a new ignition barrel and a few little things but am really happy with the buy. Don't have any future plans at the moment but we all know that changes fairly quickly.

Any and all comments welcome.

Thank you,

Aaron.

Hi Aaron, a very nice pick-up by what I can see, haha (try hosting your pics on Photobucket and linking from there). One man's foolishness netted you a good buy it would seem. Talk about not checking the bl**ding obvious. "Ahhh! my car won't start, must be the fuel pump. Doh! Who checks the battery fluid these days anyway". Good to see another stockie being saved. A tin top by the look of it too. Don't ever wish it had a sunroof.

Joke was a little on me. It started first timer every time for about a week, lol. Tested the relay this time (he told me he done it) turns out it was clicking over every time so I resoldered the circuit board and boom. All good (Fingers crossed).

Come across a few things though. Blower motor isn't working at the moment so I need to troubleshoot that. Few rust spots under the panels inside but nothing too bad I have seen so far. Only one thermo fan kicks in. Battery isn't bolted down, was a hole in the exhaust but some putty and wrap an all good so far. Trying to get it ready before I go to Japan but don't want to spend too much more between now and then. Getting a blue slip next week so I know exactly what I need to do.

I wanted a project and I have got one, lol.

does it only work on high?

its probably the resistor in the blower box deteriorated

The blower fan will be a must for a roady because it operates the demister, the radiator fan on the drivers side is the only one that works (cuts in and out) unless you're running the A/C, then both work continuously. Battery will need clamping. Just a note here, the correct placement of the battery is with the terminals toward the guard. The OEM clamp is a plastic coated metal angle held with diagonal rods. If your battery has the terminals toward the engine, the danger is the angle can short against them.

Thanks guys.

This is my 3rd one. I don't want to douche it up. Just tasteful mods.

The blower doesn't work at all. Tried to use a paperclip to jump it but would work at all. Thought the blower would be a must. Will have a closer look over the next few days. maybe I missed something. I could see that part being fun to find :/

The fan on the passenger side works but the drivers side doesn't.

The battery terminals do face the guard. I got a universal battery tie down but it didn't fit at all. Might have to do some fiddling around and drill some holes to accommodate it.

you will see the resistor on top of the box,undo it and see if its intact or as below broken

[White Noise]

Sweet.

Is there a way to fix it or not really? Best place to buy I new one if broken? And I assume if this is broken then replaced the blower will work again?

Is there certain things they will look for in a blue slip?

The guy told me it is just a pink slip but a lot more paperwork in making sure all the numbers line up.

Also assume I need to remove the box to get at it?

[EKVTIR-T]

nah,you can access it while the box is in,its right at the front as you look at it



can get from wreckers but rare,or from honda about 90bucks lol

[White Noise]

Good old Honda. Ripping people off since whenever they opened, lol. Sweet. I will take a look soon and see if its that. May be a trip to dapto for pick a part. DOubt they have a CRX though. Could I get it out of an old civic by chance?

Appreciate the help mate
