new project 87 crx si
hey guys just wanted to post some pics of my new project!
the only thing i am missing is top bumper peice. the part that goes between the headlights and the hood. do i need a crx one or can i use a sedan or coupe? a friend checked out the junkyard for me and only found one from a hatchback!
there is a engine hoist in the back yard at my work and my boss said i can use it but i just need to get a truck to get it. then i will get the engine out of the backseat!!
also i traded a scooter for it!!!

SCORE! you suck lol. Nose has to be from a CRX. Civic noses are steel and shaped differently. If I were you I'd get a new one & reinforce it.

try adjusting the idle air control valve on the intake manifold. if you remove the two phillips head screws you can remove the cover and then use a flat blade to tighten it down. tighten it all the way down.

Re: new project 87 crx si
i have another question.
i got the car running and it ran very well for 3 days. got the car smoged and every thing
i was being easy on it because the motor is new and all of a sudden i felt like it had no top end. the car will stop pulling around 2500 rpm. would any one know what might be up with that or were i should start lookin?
