i will have to say though david those talilights look alot better now that you painted the trim on them, i like that...dont listen to what everyone says all the time, its your car do what you want. i am going to have to post pics of my car on here now and the progress im making.
your engine bay looks GOOD now, and i LOVE those headlights. just keep it up and we will be going to all these crx meets.

wow, carbed engine. is that an hf? the main reason why i'm dumping my 87 hf is because it's underpowered, has a bent frame, and doesnt support EFI. but i think you've just shined a bit of light on my car.

I dont know what the 1st gen crx's are like, but they look pretty similar to the 86-89 carbed accords (LX and DX). Anyway, for cai's and ram air set-ups we adapted the part of the intake that mounts to the manifold of the d15. Kind of a hard piece to explain, but we just bored the hole a little to fit our carbs and pulled the little metal shield and they worked great.
this is the set up i made for my 87 accord LX:
