crx is out of storage

[Ernie]

well seeing as the weather has sort of picked up i got the tax put on my crx today and took it for a spin.
It has been sat away in my garage since december ish.
It fired up first turn of the key and has done about 60 miles today.
I gave it a wash and hoover out then took it out down some nice twisty b roads.
I had forgoten how much fun this little car can be i even let the inner boy racer come out and showed a bini cooper (BMW Mini) what a light 21year old 1.6 16v jap crap can do at the traffic light.
Ok its not big its not clever but was still fun lol.
No pics tho sorry.

It is big & it is clever (racing off the lights). If you can't do that once in a while, whats the point of living?

You would have to look hard mate.
I fixed the prob of the window keep steaming up.After taking the scuttle panel/wipers off to get to the pollen filter i was greated by the pollen filter that somebody in the past has covered in gaffer tape.
I now know why no air was coming into the cabin from out side.
I removed all the tape then did a test run on the blowers.
The good news was that the blowers now work flat out.The bad news is that god knows how many years of dirt and crap came out the vents all over me and the car.
As asked some pics from today.
