This was totally random. I drive by this little engine shop every day after work, and every once in a while there's a nice looking red CRX Si. Today it was there and I decided to stop and talk to the owner. I walked in and asked to see the owner of the car, and the guy said "Why, you wanna buy it?" LOL. Apparently he gets that a lot. I told him that I already had 2 and didn't need another, I just wanted to talk to him. So he goes back in the back to get the owner, and this guy walks up and we start talking.
I give him some CRX Community cards, and we go out to look at his car. He says "You ever watch that show Overhaulin?" I said yep. He said "Watch it tonight, you'll see me on TV." We stood there and talked for like 30 min. He's done some internal work on his D16 and has it up to about 150 HP. It's a good looking car. And what a nice guy. He gave me some cards. His name is Mike and he works for "Year One" full time and works at this little shop sometimes at night. We could have talked for a long time, and he even had a couple of stock D16A6's in the back (which I'm in the market for.) They both had issues and needed to be rebuilt.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know I gave out some cards to someone who's actually on TV. And he loves his CRX. I'm gonna have to keep in touch with this guy. Sounds like he has the hookups. I'm watching Overhaulin' right now and there he is doing work on the suspension and engine on a 69 Firebird. This guy hangs out with Chip Foose! And he's a CRX lover!
