Doesnt look that bad... From the post it looks like its from brooklyn, those streets arent the nicest conditions! may only be a 500$ car but remember what you have to put into it to make it actually driveable/safe. If the body is strait though then its worth 500 even if it doesnt run.
Low mileage is definetly out there... i got my crx with 82k on it.. all original, no accidents, taking it apart has been fun.. you can tell no one has ever removed parts on it! ALL ORIGINAL, UN-Tainted is the way to start.
Sold my project hatch because the more i got into it the more i realized it took a small shot to the front at one point and didnt want to reapair or have a repaired car... put all the stock stuff back in and sold it!
Think i made the right decision.
</TD></TR></TABLE>
I figure if I get it for $500/$600 it would only need member bushings, rear hatch, balljoints/shocks -- all for which I could probably score for <$300. We'll see though I'm trying to setup a meeting with him.

D15Z1 rods / GX pistons / 1.6 block. Do a search on it. I was talking to Bense when he was doing this build and I believe he had a blog about it too. That was gonna be my route.

I remember seeing that once. Thanks for the reminder. I've got the head already set up, it's just the bottom end I need to finish.

kinda made me sad too...but a 100$ paintjob will only help show points!
(the car got top 5 autox last year, and 7th overall , we didnt drag race 'cause of the rain.)
shooting for actual victory this year

heres the "build thread" over the course of the last few years...
last year we had wimpy old v710s, now we have monster hoosier a6's, nearly brand new ,and i CANNOT believe how much more amazing they are. should do well in autox, hope to do great in drag (11.5 second goal), and should do good in show. car is a lot cleaner than last year.

correct
Mugen Stlye Mugen never actually made a mid wing for the EF2/3/9/1
If its fiberglass its a American replica probably wings west
I think there is a ABS plastic/foamy replica too
price is usually no higher then $150
some have the engravment for the Honda logo on the driver side and some don't

He fell in love with a girl at Subaru, but she would'nt let him see her cash and prizes unless he cut his Honda ties...

Ive got one!
so im putting my skunk2 manifold and BDL t/b on.... I didnt realize i would have to swap the studs from the stock manifold onto the skunk2.. not so bad tho. I go to put the throttle body gasket on that was supplied from BDL and it just doesnt look right...
The stock gsr T/B gasket has the normal 4 holes for the studs to come thru and then a smaller hole on the top left for what im thinkin is going to the IAC valve..
The BDL gasket only has the 4 holes for the studs... no hole for the IAC.. is this right???
i can take some pics if necessary
