The CSX: February 19, 2002
by Russ Knize on Feb.19, 2002, under CSX
Long time, no update. Now that I am living in an apartment, little has changed with this car. Stills runs pretty good, but the trip back from SDAC with those bad tires ruined what was left of the original struts. To become safe for the roads, the cars needs struts/shocks (probably Konis), lower ball joints, tires, and bushings (polyurethane). In its current condition, the car becomes rather unstable above 50mph, but I still take it on the 5 minute drive to work to keep it alive. The motor is still the same, piston slap and all. Still makes good power, though. The car also got flooded when our parking lot flooded twice last year. I was able to dry it out, but now I find that it leaks water in the rain. Grrr….
