1989 EX-i

[Ayeobe]

OK so my tank is on empty, and im waitin on the needle to drop below the red line, which is what its supposed to do right? I imagine the gas light will come on tomorrow... and i believe its been TWO weeks since i filled it. I don't even remember my last visit to Shell haha.

In the mean time, some pix:




And there you go ... tomorrow i wash it if all goes well.

That first pic looks damn mysterious!

sometimes the flot in the take does not work...and you really dont want to drain your tank like that because all the dirt and solids are in the bottom...you dont want your engine sucking that up because it might cause problems

Thank you sir!

Yeah, last time i filled it i was at 45L. I imagine i can drive it a little today and i /should/ start to see the gas light come on. I will snap a pic when that hapens! Its been on empty only two days, and it went lower than i let it last time, so it should light up today. If not, im gona gas up today anyway. I just better not fill it with 49L or some shit LoL 1L from the light going on would be prety annoying.

[MessyHonda]

yeah carry a gas can just in case the light never turns on

[Ayeobe]

Filled it up with 48.12L .... I knew it! lol the saga continues.

[Ayeobe]

So i was gonna leave the parking lot, when i saw this double rainbow, and i couldnt help myself. Also, DAMN is that fender ever discolored at that angle...


After another good wash


Tho in this pic its fine?!

Anyway, the rims werent cleaned properly, as i was buying the product when it started POORING. Im very upset. tomorow perhaps.

[Ayeobe]

No one replyed to those pics?! damn, guys. lol.

Ok, news: The gas light works!


Yeahhh. Finily. lol. Other than that, im gona go to the shop n get the oil change, coolant, and ball joint done. I just dont have the tools ... what a pain. I wanted to do it myself, but i'd have to bother someone to lend me shit.. and the driveway is freshly re-capped, so i cant do shit on it. what a pain. So, it should be thursday. it better be.

Alright, all the work is done. I also got a few fairly decent pics.










There you have it. Hope you enjoy.

[carotman]

Hey it's raining :p

[Ayeobe]

Yep. i washed my car yesterday, shined the tires and rims, and now its pooring rain and leaves all over it.... Why do i bother? I NEED A GARAGE.

[car6289]

Nice EXi, especially for the salt belt.
There were only two things our house had to have, an island in the kitchen and a garage.
Washing my car has a direct impact on tomorrow's weather forcast. Wash car today guarantees rain tomorrow. Official forcast be damned.
It must be almost time for steelies and snow tires for you guys in Quebec.

[Ayeobe]

I roll on steelies, no matter what the time of year.. But, i dont think ill bother getting the snow tires. If i do drive it, itll be around the block to keep it running. She's gona stay nice and warm ...somewhere, this winter. Save 300$ on snow tires, and a few years of life on the car, which is priceless.

I estimate 1 Quebec winter = like 4 or 5 years in fairly dry climate. Its hell. The 87 went through one winter after i got it, and i got it in decent beater shape...

[A18A]

oh how i hate leaves, they get all in the engine bay and make it look ugly!@

[car6289]

I'll take leaves over snow any day. I love driving through a pile of leaves just to watch them scatter in all directions.


"I estimate 1 Quebec winter = like 4 or 5 years in fairly dry climate."

I'm no stranger to what a full on Quebec/Canadian winter can do to a car. I spent quite a few years in Northern Ontario before escaping to B.C.

[Mellexx]

I like the pics man, I love fall I'd much rather have leaves and rain for winter than all the snow and salt, yuck.

[jcrockett]

I don't mind the snow but its the salt that kills the cars...Of course, if they did not use it half of upstate drivers would be dead by spring.

looks sweet man though that huge ass pic with the double rainbow wouldnt load =( i wanted too see it too!!! (and i have 30mbps internet wtf)

[charliekuney]

Is the fender on your '89 from your '86?

Word, and I have 60mb.

[Ayeobe]

Thanks for the comments, guys! The fender is bran new, painted with the same color code as the car, but the guy wanted to bling it and went to clear-coat it... used the wrong type clear coat, killed the paint. I have yet to rectify the situation. Gonna align the front end properly first, i imagine.

Couple more pics, i rolled over to 162 000km today.






Once again, enjoy. Im prety happy with most of these pictures.

[Hazwan]

Car is looking sexy (Y)

[Ayeobe]

Thanks alot, man. That first pic with the lights off is the best angle..

Here's another pic for you guys:


I finily vaccumed the interior! I have to clean the carpet now, though, around the driver's area. The rest is perfect. No pictures of that, though, as it got dark.

[Mellexx]

Sweet Sweet man
