Do you by any chance have any more cherry CRX chassis sitting around that you could send to Texas?
Yeah I'll overnight one, what's your address

I've had another hiccup in testing. I can still drive it around, but I don't want to do it too much - things have been very hectic and I haven't had time to investigate: The driver's side front wheel when hacked up can be wiggled with a little play. I don't know if it's loosy goosy from the outer axle splines being really long (see this post) and they've encountered enough force to squish them in a little and need more tightening from the axle nut, OR I've got a hub that's about to go. I don't have a puller, and I've had a hell of a time trying to replace a hub on my other car, so I'm going to have to get it into my honda guy, because I don't have time right now to screw around with hubs.

I got a new ECT sensor (although the service manual is a bit cloudy about which sensor its talking about) and it didn't fix the CEL. No big deal because there's no way this engine could ever overheat with all those hoses and the huge crx radiator, but I've been culturally trained to not like the CEL
