My 87 CRX Si's Worklog
This is my first Honda.. Its an 87 CRX SI... I didn't see an area for the 87 CRX, this was the closest thing to it...
1987 CRX si 5 speed with 170xxx,
The car isn't going to have anything major done, but I figured I would show my work...
The car was bought for $750. Day one fuel pump is going to be replaced (Tomorrow) since I ran the tank dry and merked it test driving it...
The car was red, someone JDM primer'd it black, w/e, IDC, I'll clean up the paint sometime down the road.
It has 2 quarter sized rusted out holes in the spare tire area, which will be welded with chicken wire and new plates.
Rear windows are tinted with probably about 5%-20%, IDK really.
The interior has been taken apart. The owner was looking for rust and only found those 2 spots in the tire area... I will be putting in floor mats. (Interior pics come tomorrow.
AC/Heat works, all the lights work, etc etc. Should be a fun car to work on.
This is the car as it sits...
New pics will follow when I put the interior back together...
T.O.C.
Bad Fuel Pump...WEEEE
Sports Authority Meet... Fogs Gone...
New Plugs/Wires, Adjusted Ride Height, CRX on Lift...
NO HOOD... FEELS SO GOOD...
YAY LEAKING OIL

Re: My new 87 CRX SI
Heck yeah, nice Hond! Engine bay a lil rough but maaan that body is in great shape for these cars. That nose is all lined up real nice and I didn't notice any cracks. The factory front air dam will make it look even better if you can find one

Got one but its rough. This car was hit hard on driver side, so no window glass, so before I got to it it had sat for a decade in the weather

The shitty fuel pump... I couldn't get the damper off, since I didn't have my larger wrenches... had to leave it sit over night..
Current interior with that stupid riced steering wheel.
