My new CRX
It is dark out, so the pictures suck but check them out: http://imglib.************/index.cgi?cmd=viewcat&id=101
1988 Honda Civic CRX Si (chassis has 140k miles)
ZC Motor (35-40k miles)
ACT Clutch
Ground Control Coilovers
KYB AGX Adjustables in the front
Tokico Illumina Adjustables in the back
Suspension Techniques rear sway bar
AEM Intake
Magnasomething exhaust
High-flow cat
Chikara headers
'89 Integra ECU (higher redline)
JDM CRX Hood
'91 Prelude Blade Wheels
The guy threw in the original D16 motor and all of the original stock parts, along with an additional hood.
The car feels like a solid mid 14sec car to me. If I floor 1st gear, the wheels break loose quite a bit up until redline. It has a lot of torque.
I got it all for $3300. What do you guys think?

error: You are not authorized to access this function.
But, it all sounds very nice. Those motors are deceptively slow. They feel like a mid 14 second car, but are closer to a low 15 high 14. But you did get a great deal either way. Now, the question is, when are you pulling out the GSR and swapping it into the CRX. Um, 11's anyone?

Re: My new CRX (dustin)
you neglected to mention/notice it also came with the desirable 90-91 tail lights. I absolutely LOVE CRX's...sadly, I just sold my first ever CRX today 
But that's OK, I've got two others : an 88 Si and a 90 HF

Very sweet Dustin nice purchase but word of advice, if the guy wasn't a good bud who sold it to you just make sure he doesn't or his "friends" don't have extra copies of the keys and get em recoded by a locksmith Have fun driving.

Have fun driving.Nick

Re: My new CRX (dustin)
Very nice man. Looks like someone has been doing a lot of swapping parts from 90-91 models! Tails/wheels (or are those 3g Lude wheels?)

Re: My new CRX (Sabbath4)
They are gen 3 prelude wheels. And yes, my integra is red too They match.
Drove it to work today.... So fun to drive. If my integra was N/A, it would be way more fun to drive than the integra.

Re: My new CRX (dustin)
Oh I forgot, the car also has 4 wheel disc brakes (the previous owner swapped out the rear drums).
It also has removed A/C and power steering. I never use AC anyways, and I absolutely love the road feel with no power steering. A little tough when parking, but not bad.
It cries 'turbo me'
