School is out, and I finally have some downtime. I picked up the car in the

summer of 2010, and originally did not have any plans for it. I just wanted a

solid daily driver. I saw what people were doing to this chassis, and the bug

bit me.

This is when I first got it


Got an eBay catback because my OEM muffler rusted off


Got F&F type 1's

Timing belt decided to snap on my home from the store lol


90-91 CRX Lip





B&M dual bend and pwjdm **** (also changed the shifter bushings with energy suspension ones)


F7 control arms and Beaks tie bar (Sway bar coming soon)





Started getting parts while I waited for my tax refund so I could get it painted


More goodies


Went on a badge spree lol






Got some rebuilt calipers as well


Also changed the outer tie rods


New wheel bearing, upper ball joint on the passenger side, and wheel studs


Picked up some eg mats and ek side skirts that I'm no longer gonna use



Haven't used the eg mats yet cause I found these bad boys at the local wrecker


Time to join the fight against cancer


Sent her off for paint in February


How she currently sits




Picked up some 90-91 crx si wheels last week

I am loving this, I am going to do an EF as soon as my wife is out of the AF and we move back to the west coast. Wanted an EG, but I think this would be a bit different. Plus, it's going to be pretty much gutted (thinking like a b18/b20 non-VTEC turbo setup)
I am tuned it, looks great!

dopesk8er87

Thanks! look forward to seeing your build, good luck!

dopesk8er87

wally world FTW lol

Started to restore my CRX wheels I picked up a few weeks ago.

I used primer, rustoleum performance paint, and clear. Don't mind the overspray lol, new tires coming soon!

dopesk8er87

I'm still working on the CRX wheels. I should have them mounted within two weeks. Once that's done, I'm gonna coat my wheel wells, then order a new AC compressor, so I can get my AC back up.

Great build.

I'm doing the same with a teal 91 Si.

I like the "Enjoy Life Drive Slow" sticker. Very car appropriate.

dopesk8er87

lol yes indeed. Thanks, I've been keeping an eye on your build. It's looking great man.

The quality looks amazing. I still have to re-coat the wheel well and knuckle assembly before I install. I hope to have it done by next Tuesday. Stay tuned!
