im down, or just ban a certain pain in the ***.

Nikon, i love your crx, didnt you blow the motor? Any updates on a new powerplant setup?

Rob., what wheels you got planned, imo a set of 90-91 blades would set it off proper.

Just so you guys know, these actually work. I went through and filled one of these out that BLU posted thinking it was a joke and to my surprise about a month later got my first magazine and got a few others each month after.... Free Maxim magazines FTW.

I do install them during the half-dozen rainy days we have here in SoCal. The rest of the year...no wipers!

Yeah, my built A6 blew at the track last September. In December, fourthgenhatchb17 and I installed a D15b vtec. I'm getting all my turbo stuff together now. Hopefully I'll finally be boosted within the next couple of months.
Here's the engine in it's current state:

That SOHC bay is an inspiration for me. Always loved it.

Geez, I thought I liked the looks of the CRZ until you posted that picture. The rex puts it to shame.

Just keep your eyes open in the used market. I got mine used for about half the price that jhp sells them for.

No idea.. might swap the 15x7 CSA Polaris from my 91 Si, since thats the garage queen, and put the stock stock steelies and hubcaps back on the 91 Si.
The sedan is my daily wintermobile.

btw, anyone ever come across a civic trunk tray ?
Im going to check here in Canada if they are available new still.

I know you're into JDM goodness, but if you can't find it, consider weathertech.com. I purchased their rubber floormats for my F-250 and they weren't joking when they said they were "computer measured and fit." They seriously fit like a glove. NICE STUFF.

Yeah, yeah. I'm the same way, but the weathertech mats I got for the new truck are 10x nicer than the OEM pieces.

In other news, my Xenon side skirts showed up today. I'm gonna be body kittin' all up in this mother!

Part of the adventure/enjoyment of owning 88-91 honda's is the ongoing hunt for rare discontinued OEM optional parts.
Aftermarket parts are too easy to find/buy...LoL

After owning a BMW, you have no idea what getting raped on price of parts is....
Honda parts are cheap in comparison!

Even the OEM stuff that isn't that rare has become valuable to a lot of people. In my area for instance, the salvage yards literally laugh at you when you ask for EF parts. The OEM parts are getting harder to find locally for people so I've been successful selling stuff online. Virtually every single aftermarket part on my sedan, including the swap, was funded by parting out EFs.

this sounds encouraging, but i have had little luck with selling off extra ef parts using ebay and craigslist, is there another place i could try that anyone knows of, besides here, haven't tried that yet

I sell everything here (marketplace) and on ef-honda.com. Always use the post office for shipping because they are dirt cheap, and if the item is larger than their limits, use FedEx. They are way cheaper than UPS.
