h22 has been tossed in the boiling pot to, but I don't think that would be for awhile though. As much as its going to be a shop car, its also going to be a daily driver I think.

Besides k20 is played out now

Gotta love the HF's lightness without the Sunroof mechanism and rear wiper.

I notice the 88-89 CRX Tail lights. I would love to find the 88 HF. Thats a feather.

Mine is a 90 HF with 88 Si doors. ( No seatbelt anchors and I get the "SI" interior door panels )

Is that a Urethane Wings West RS kit or a Fiberglass version? It looks like its been molded in before the paint job.

Nice Find!

Actually.... It's my car's twin, or at least was at one time. They were both built side-by-side. Body was both full restore's with wings west body kits, both painted similar shades of PPGs Harloquin paint. After that we did B16 swaps, built up two identicle turbo setups, and then we hit a few shows. Having that style of paint on a car that you paint yourself doesn't work out very well, you notice every detail of scratch that happens to it and remember how long you spent sanding each panel. Garrett (original owner) traded that car and in the long run ended up with a cleank 2k Si. I still have the other, it sits in my garage, fully built B18C with a huge turbo and it's never been back out on the road. Nice to see it's still around

P.s. The color is actually Red to Blue. Mine is Cyan to Purple. Both laid over black base coats.

All this in 3 days, I'm tired . Finished up tonight at 10:30 , wrapped up my custom exhaust.

If anyone knows me then you must know I'm a perfectionist. Take a look at the second exhaust picture, notice how the tip lines up with the bumper




More car and engine shots, seatbelt harness is not being used either.
