hi there, I pick up my 87 Honda CRX DX on saturday and super stoked about it. Can anyone lead me to direction of a website that will sell parts. I am no ricer but finding parts on a car like this is hard to come by. I would prefer new parts opposed to being told to go to the junk yard. Mainly a place to sell mainly body parts or possibly oem parts.

doublethink

A nice list of places that sell parts wouldn't be a bad idea.

that was probably the most informative post i've ever seen. thanks

mike_pasara

another question i have, will a strut bar fit onto this car if it came from a 2nd gen crx? I was given one for free by the owner for the front since he sold his crx.

phatboycrxhf

it all depends ,i got one to fit on my 1st gen ,but i had to make diffrent mounts ,some do fit though ,what kind do you have ??? mines a ebay one ,but guys have got them to fit without much work

just try it out and see what needs to be done
here is a pic of how much i had to mod the mounts lol


and here it is installed


is yours like this one or a straight one ??

cb07

ooooo an Si head... You motor is tilted forward, may I ask why?

Sorry, not tryin to jack your thread.

mike_pasara

i can't quite remember, it's chromed out blue for sure though. probobly an ebay strut bar. i'll be back tomorrow once i pick up the car if i don't have any issues with insurance... i'm getting declined insurance because the car is too old

thats how they all are dx hf si ,i can see how in the pic it looks like its way out ,but if i take a pic from the fender ,its level

take a look at your engine once you get it all bolted up ,it will look the same as mine

maybe its a dcsports one ,i hope you get the insurance worked out

mike_pasara

insurance worked out, went with the same company as my parents... it's killing me though. 369$ canadian per month without collision!

I had an issue with a pay check today so I'm fixing it tomorrow and i'm getting the car at noon. I'll post some pics and figure out the strut bar. hopefully its a DC sport and not a knock off ebay one.

cb07

Hmm ok. Lol. I need to get to work on mine, it just sits there because I'm lazy.

In for pics!

phatboycrxhf

holy **** mine will only be 90 a month for basic/pleasure ,but i'll most likely get the best at 125 a month

lol thanks man ,mines a ebay one they all do the same thing ,so it shouldent matter on the brand name lol but yeah the dcsports ones are nice

cb07 lol yeah get to work

mike_pasara

4 more hours till she's mine!

I'm 18 years old with only 1 minor speeding ticket(15 over and still kicking myself in the pants for) and live in ontario, we don't have at fault insurance so everyones insurance is skyrocket high. But with my insurance company they overlooked the ticket because it was minor and i only had the one.

Even getting a car alarm which i would need to get a known name brand alarm system like viper to actually be eligible for a discount would only drop my rate by 5% annually.

update on the car.

I don't get it today because my boss is a ******** and hasn't given me my check so i can't pay off the car today. I'm totally bummed out. I had my cd player ready to install today and everything. Monday is a holiday here so I'm going to pick her up on tuesday when i hopefully get my pay check

phatboycrxhf

that sucks ,you should kick him in the nuts K lol

hope you get it today

mike_pasara

I got it today! Well... keys and ownership and everythign else but the car. I get my 10 day trip permit tomorrow at lunch then i'm taking it home tomorrow after work.


As far as the strust bar goes it's not a dc sport, it's a knock off... not even type-r or type-s... it's type-v. that means i have vtec right? Just kidding!

Here are some photos, i don't know what the code is like for here on this board so i'll post the weblinks

The fenders and the hood part(not the hood but the part infront of it when the hood is down) is cracked, i saw some replacement parts for that on ebay, should i look into those or should i look elsewhere?

mike_pasara

Just noticed the little trap door behind the seats, can anyone tell me whats in there? I don't have the car with me at home because ... well read my post above...

phatboycrxhf

looks like its in nice shape your pics suck though lol

id buy new fenders ,you can get them a pick and pull ,but there over 20 years old and will most likely crack ,mine have cracked 3 times now lol ive plastic welded them back together ,and the header panel is the dumbest thing they put on the car ,it should have been steel not plastic .buy one new if you can .


or you can check out http://www.redpepperracing.com and there is a dude ,that has a run of dry carbon fiber hoods in the works for 500 i wish i had the cash lol

your ignition key should open the tressure chest in the back its just a storage box ,great for junk or a amp for your stereo

i want better pics ,and to have the pics show up on this site just click on the last link
