I think you should keep it as simple as you can, it's a lovely car. Just do things that make it feel better to you, shift ****, steering wheel, short shifter, etc.

Nice mods like maybe a unicorn Mugen body kit? - or maybe just that sweet mugen wing
A set of the green fogs might look nice.

Always liked this wing
I'm constantly looking but I can't find a kit that still comes with the emblems. If I did then maybe, but I never liked to concept of fiber glass bumpers.

I like that wing too, but I would go with the SiR wing. Keep it away from the y49, the curse might rub off on it.

Looks a lot like my kit. That wing is awesome but my rear wiper scrapes and the bolts snapped, had to rig it. Although I must say that fiberglass body kits are a huge hassle. If you look close you can see why.

Ah so you're the one who bought their crx
my sister is saving up for a skyline, I've heard only great things about the company.

I wonder what the prices will be in a few years as the market becomes more or less saturated with JDM cars...

It's happened here in Canada already. We have only a 15 year rule, so I've brought cr-x's in as long as 12 years ago, some with only 60 thousand kilometers on them. Prices seem to hold steady here, although they cost less here too. There is some dislike for rhd cars though, and they are not worth nearly as much as a left hand drive version

Can't believe I'm just now seeing this thread. Beautiful car. My suggestion is to keep it as stock as you possibly can where appearance is concerned. Where suspension, engine and drivetrain are concerned you can go all out or just get a few tasteful upgrades but all in all kudos on another beautiful Rex and just on your 4th Rex. Good luck

I'd personally go through it, refresh anything that's worn, perhaps get the windows tinted slightly just for a visual effect, and if you want some more power swap in a gsr or itr motor. other wise i'd keep it safe and enjoy a piece of history

I'm with this, keep it authentic (if you're taking opinions).

Drove her down to DC. I get here, there is a facebook thread of people who spotted her, and finally some tagging me. Thought that was cool. Things like wtf a SiR just passed me, my brother spotted a legit SiR here, and stating the aspects of her was all there.


I valet her at the hotel. There is a Maserati in front of me. The valets all come running over fighting over who is going to park it. The manager comes out and lays claim. Noone gave a single **** about the Maserati.

Sounds like a fun car to roll the streets in.
Some cameras looking at other drivers while you drive would be funny!

Great car! I wouldn't say it's the only US legal SiR...there are others. Nice they are classics though. Thanks for the link, they have a beautiful red one for 10k if only I had the money.

Amazing car.

I guess Pittsburgh is much easier to own a RHD vehicle. Like what 4drEF mentioned, it's almost impossible to own a street legal RHD vehicle in CA...

You should add some RHD floor mats to your wishlist. They are very affordable and makes the CRX looks more unique
