Yeah I have the milled brackets, the calipers, rotors, and brake pads, but not the knuckles…I don’t think I’m going to finish it b/c all my money is spent and I’m not sure if I wanna get bigger brakes just yet. Sux I already sold my other rotors and pads

Hey guys,

Figured I'd give a heads up first before I begin selling some stuff off. Is anyone interested in Koni Yellows for the 89-91 crx/hatch (not the 88 LCA style) with less than 100 feet on them? Only put on to roll the shell around (hence < 100 feet, lol). They come with all boxes/parts/papers...pretty much brand new and never actually been driven on. I'm going to pick up some Koni's for a different application so these need to go.

PM me reasonable offers if interested. If located in Nor/SoCal I can deliver or meet up depending on date/location .

yeah. I believe the term is called heat sump. I asked about that a while back ago to, if it was just one of those things as a EF/ED driver do we have to deal with.

I also have a Si intake arm and box if you need it still.

Yeah, I just got done wrapping the header. Im not sure what causes the heat, im guessing the large radiator and everything being in close proximity.

Vega pmed you.

Ok, camera found.

Old pic

Now:


Waiting on an intake arm. Then a couple small things and its set for awhile.



As it sits. Not the best pic but hopefully within the next 2 weeks I can get the title for it and swap over rpf1's and suspension.

I really dont want to, but I dont have room for them. They are either going with the 4door when I sell it, or by themselves.

Here they are in their heyday:

Something fairly quick and easy would be to respray the top of that radiator, it would be pleasing to the eye.

That and the driver side mount. I think it would really bring it back to life.

yea, all those rusted/unpainted spots are very distracting. otherwise, the engine bay looks decent.

lol, but it looks like a hell of a difference with the before and after. I gotta say Id flush that brake fluid too. Probably the most overlooked maintenance item out there, and by the shade of color that fluid is its probably original.
