Hey im looking for some reliable stores to buy some parts from. I should be getting a 91' Si CRX very soon and was wondering where i could pick up the following things for a good price, and from a dealer that has a good rep, and good service :

Body Kit - Wide variety, good price, polyurathane possibly
Header for the stock 91' Si Motor
Cold Air Intake (Which brand is the best?)
Exhaust System (What brand is the best?)
Lowering Springs (whats a good brand, or does it not matter?)
Clear Corner Lenses

Thanks for the help, and hopefully i can get some links from you all to some nice places. Thank you very much!

 

it depends pn where in CA u are. all of that stuff can be had for a very competitive price at inlinefour in westminster, and david lee is a very cool guy to talk to. if you can wait on the parts and have good experiences buying online then you will find your absolute BEST prices that way. as far as brands go, despite what people may argue until they are blue in the face, there is no real "best" it all comes down to personal preference. i dunno how new you are to the scene, but if you hang around long enough you come across all sorts of different setups and you develop a list of things you like and things you dont. here is what i would do if i was in your posistion, and this is just my personal taste.

body kit (if u must) wings west rs, yes it is polyurethane
header- dc, why not everyone else does, they seem to work just great
intake- autozone 45 bux
exhaust - muffler shop that does mandrel bends, stainless steel piping (2.25in) and a dynomax muffler (200 bux installed)
lowering springs eibach or neuspeed (thats what these ppl do for a living, the make springs)
clear corners- any rice shop, 15-20 bux

 

do those autozone intakes have carb #'s?

 

Thank you. I was actually looking into a west wings kit, also i was wondering, do you know if visracing.com is reliable? Also where can a polyurethane kit be found? As for the cold air intake, i was looking for like AEM, cause i heard they were pretty good, but not sure. How is the Type R JDM Header? Thank you for the help, and yes im pretty new to the scene, but have been looking into it and researching for quite some time.

 

haha, all that cali crap. no i am afraid they dont, if you need that you have two choices...
injen and aem

 

Wow lol people posted on this like mad while i was typin.

 

ya, aem is good stuff, little expensive for me tho, but it does have the CA carb legal rating. JDM R header is awesome, but it only works on b-series motors. the WW kit is VERY popular and can be found at any place that considers themselves a legit import shop, just keep ur eyes open for good deals and check out the forsale forums on this board, also try thepartstrader.com and the forale forum on clubsi (one of the best on the net)

 

Awsomr Awsome, also just a few more questions. I was thinking about after i get all the body stuff, to get my car painted black, personally do you think white or black looks better. Also what kinda rims are a good brand? Thank you very much for the help, i cant wait to get started on this project! w00t! For now ill be searchin the net for good prices etc ! :D

 

i think crx's look awesome in red, black, or white. here is my car in red.



and here is white



my car looked exactly like this when i had 95 gsr wheels on it. also that is what a properly painted and instally WW kit looks like. as for wheels, again that is strictly a preference thing. but you might want to try modacar.com and look at their selection of wheels. bolt pattern on ur car is 4 x 100

 

WOW that white is nice. I think i may get black because i was thinking of getting one of those anti-cop radar things, i forget the exact name, but black absorbs lasers being shot at the car, and white would bounce them off.. but heh i guess that dont matter too much. But i like black anyways, is there any downfall to having a black car? Thank you.

 

yes, the paint absorbs more heat and fades quicker and honda red seems to oxidize faster. plus having a black car with no a/c is no fun.

 

i want to get a nice Blue Pearl color.

 

How long does it take for a black car to fade? Also what color will it fade to, just like a dull black or what?

 

it all depends on the type of paint, and the type of clearcoat. who knows if u take good care it might not ever fade.

 

damn! big enough pic mother ******?

hey carlos, were those 88-89 crx alloys or 86-89 integras...the white ones?

 

those are the integra wheels i painted white. now who is this? is this gel?

 

One sugestion i have for you: when you get your lowering springs, get new shorter shocks too!!! I put Suspension Techniques 2" drop springs on my hatch w/o updating the shocks and when I hit the slightest bump on a corner, my shocks bottom out and the car losses control not good!!!!!
