Default my first crx.... let me know what you think

1990 dx model, one ORIGINAL owner, 45,300 ORIGINAL miles on it. pics can be found on http://members.cardomain.com/gsxr1k05 (dont know how to add a pic on a post sorry..)

bought for 3900 littleton, colorado. the only rust is a less than a penny size on the gas tank cap, and on the driver door/front fender where it is pinched. the body kit i plan on getting is going to replace the fender and they have skins for the door. so i dont care bout that

as i get things installed i will give the usual updates.

nice car, and welcome to the addiction.

hang out for a bit before you get too crazy with the modifications so you don't do something you'll regret later on (there are lots of people who already made the mistakes- why do it yourself?).

i cringe at the idea of another clean example getting all mucked up when it might not have to.

I agree. That car is very clean, don't go screwing it up.
BUT. it's your car, so do what you want, your going to anyway.
Were just going to try our best to talk you out of it!!

The stock look is the best. Forget about appearance mods and work on that b18..

You're going to annhilate a nice clean, practically immaculate CRX w/ a disgusting body kit? Spare me the misery of seeing what kind of torture you inflict on this poor CRX and stop posting here.

yeah, looks like a clean car, i agree, start with the engine first, and then do other things, save the body kit for last, so then hopefully you choose not to ruin the car with it

i appeciate all the comments and suggestions. the body kit will be the last thing that is done. i like the look of the widebody, and i have noticed that most of the members here love the stock crx look. personally, i think the front bumper is ugly as ****, however, i will be working the suspension first, then saving up for the b18.

i will work on the interior in the middle of the suspension and the b18. i dont have much for the interior, megan racing seats, new carpet, change the interior paint (i was thinkin silver with blue flake for the exterior paint, so i was going to go with blue with silver for the interior.. any other ideas please post.)

other than the carpet and seats, a 5 point harness and a rear seat jdm conversion. i should have the sterio in the first week i am back in the sates so before the end of feb, you will see 2 kicker l5 solo abric 12's in a custom enclosure.

If you butcher that rex, I will personally drive down there and kick your ***! lol
Don't go widebody, if there was ever a name for someone that put a wide body on there rex for non track perpesses then it would be "tool". Really, it is a waste of money.
Fix up the engine, fix any paint expletive ups, and leave it at that. Do everything, but leave the exterior OEM.
If for some reason you don't like that look for the front end, then go with an SiR front end. Nothin sexier

seeing a car get mangled like that is a good reason for me to go to jail for assaulting and battering yur ***. HAHAH LOL, well its yur car man, so do what you want.

Lets do some math though. 4000 for a crx. 4000 for ext. mods and paint. 2000+ for interior and sound mods. 1000+ for some fugly huge rims and tires you'll prob pick. 3500+ for engine and suspension mods.

HHMMM! $14,500+ for a car that you can't even drive every day or at all for that fact. All that money for a car that is only worth like 2.
Total waste of money man, you will realize that it's not worth it.

Hey! i have an idea, you should be working on wall street!!

I'm tired of flaming, im out.

Your car, so pimp it out man! After being in Iraq you've earned it . . . besides I'm looking forward to owning the only untouched unmolested bare-*** stock CRX out there because that is the way I like mine!

Stock body
Body kits
