A whole new front end? What was wrong with the old one? It just seems more costly to buy a new new one vs repairing the old one. I love the yellow fogs.

Well like the hood was dented like if it flew up, and the holes were stripped to bolt it down and my right fender was dented and the bumper had holes nd the bumper lights were opaque lol alot was kinda wrong so I sold it for $700 and I bought my new for $1000 with fogs and everything, flawless front end now lol

Wow, so I really haven't updated much on here, haven't really had the time to upload the pics and get on honda tech. Well here are a couple pics for updates. I installed some new ITR cams and a new front end, that's pretty much it, in the process of buying all the parts for my new build. Going to bore out block to 82mm and drop in some PR3 RS machine pistons, Omni power 70mm throttle body, port matched skunk2 manifold, and tuned. Got some parts ordered already. Hopefully in about 2 months rexy should be ready
With the new front end.
Motor shot, ehh a lil dirty I know but not too bad. Haven't put my headers on yet.
Forget to mention I got some actual crx seats now and rear mudflaps, picked em up for $120 not too bad.

Your car is looking damn good.
I had Type 1s on my CRX. Loved them. Adjustable from the bottom mount and they have rebuild kits.
Perfect comfort for street and stiff/stable. I love my commute lol. When I had my Dunlops on I'd out handle anyone. I paid $800 new for mine.

Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
Hey i was wondering a few things, did u order wiring or did u hack away at the harness and do it urself, also for the wire tuck did u have to extend the wires or did u just clip them back more? Im doing the same swap and just stuck on the wiring part of it really I have a dx model {going to throw in an si dash} I was told that i should gut the wiring and just go with si wires since its mpfi instead of the dpfi and its easier to convert. This is my first swap and the wiring seems to be the most confusing part for me, thanks.

First thngs first check throwout bearing in tranny we should always replace throwout and pilot bearings when swapping trannies or clutches . But yea similar problem with my buddies car turns out when we installed his tranny we broke one of the legs off the throwout bearing and tht caused us to not shift or move at all
