Default So i picked up a CRX to wrench on.......

I got tired of having a daily driven honda, even if it was quick. So i decided to part it out and build me a weekend warrior. (my 00' Si is for sale by the way).

I traded a dirtbike for this 90' Si. It was 100% stock, although it had a bent radiator support (replaced), and no fenders.

I have some parts i am putting together to put in it. Right now i am getting it ready to be painted and have a cage put in. I will try to update my thread


This is when i brought her home.










Under Knife..



This is my setup, i wont be using this motor though.




I will post more details and pictures later. I hope to run some good times with it. Got all new suspension going in. Should be fun!!

Thanks for checking out my money pit

Thanks. My first honda was a CRX i got new in 91'. I always wanted to have another.

I am kinda torn on what color to get it....everything else is set though

Well...i am not sure. I want it to run a good quater, but still be a handling bitch.

I have the turbo setup, hondata s200b, gsr head with S2 valvetrain, ITR cams (01'), S2 manifold and 68mm TB, 680cc injectors.

I am shopping for a block and tranny right now.

Its getting gsr brakes in front, gsr AEM big brake kit in rear, stainless lines, 1" mc, omni coilovers (maybe) and s2 camber kit.

It will have no exhaust, it will be the 3" downpipe to a 3" purple hornie with a turndown.

I have defi gauges, greddy ebc with remote, greddy tt, aem uego left over from my Si that will go in here as well.

Once the paint and cage are down i will have the bottom ready (hopefully) and will start the FUN stuff......assembly!

why a terrible purchase? 1G's are great cars. How much you want for yours?


Looks like fun, there's nothing like a new project.

This is where i put the main fuse thing. Headlight wiring will be run after its painted. With this here i can keep most the engine harness hidden as well.



Notice the burn in the dash, i am in the market for a nice black ef dash...if anyone has one
