well I am now a proud new owner of a 1988 Honda CRX si.. i picked it up about a week and a half ago.. needs a little work but its all basically cosmetic. it has a b16a swap and a nice clean sounding/looking exaust. I'll post up some pics of the way it looks right now later tonight

also.. was wondering.. what did the B16a originally come out of?

Japan only. 88-91. Civic is SiR is the only one I know of. Someone else will know 4 sure with all the M@d 7y73 JDM Peeps in da house!

 

ok thanks man.. ill post pics soon!

 

ok so here are some of the pics i just took tonight.. its oh so very stock... minus the ugly *** euro-tails wihch i need to swap out ASAP!!

 

thats a tasty crx, what you pay for it?

 

cosmetic work? besides the tail lights, it looks very nice.

 

Looks like a clean sleeper.

(as a side note - How come my last post "How rare is a VX" in the 92+ Civic section gets locked, but all these "Look at my new car!" posts don't? Pisses me off.)

well the windshield is cracked and needs to be replaced same with the drivers side, side mirror. the drivers side window doesnt roll up properly so that needs to be fixed.. the passenger side fender is cracked and dented and needs passenger side side mouldings, and there are also a few holes in the spare tire wheel well that need to be patched up and the hatch needs new dampers (sidenote.. that hatch is F'n heavy if those dampers arent workin!! LOL)

Yes, it looks pretty good as is....(not a fan of the tail lights either, however, we all have our own preferences) Have fun fixin her up!

 

nice car!



and to the bozo that put the clear tails on there

 

thanks guys... i dont plan on doin a WHOLE lot to it.. just lower it (PROPERLY), amber corners, CF lip some nice rims (speaking of which.. are 17's too big for a crx? anyone got a pic of a CRX with 17's?) some racing seats, paint the valve cover.. possibly turbo if i got the coin! LOL and

17's are way too big. 16's are the biggest i've really seen on a rex but they look like ***.

go 15.

 

3500 is a bit high, but hey, live and learn. But its a nice car man!!

ya i know its a lil high (also remember im in canada) but even sitll.. it is a lil high but i had my mind set on a CRX and there isnt many around my area for sale at the time that are in good condition anyway so i thought what the hell!

and thanks!

 

nice car. umm 3500 is a little on the high side for it i think. stay with 15s, they look the best and fill up the wheel well pretty well. you could also use the stained glass paint to paint the euro lights red. so that way they will be all red. u know, just to save some money.

alright 15's or 16's it is.. but i want to get stock tail lights.. i think they look the best..

any suggestions for a decent suspension set-up for the street?

 

well if you were to do the swap yourself and the cost of a clean shell youd probably be somewhere close to 3500 in the end, psh those tail lights are worth 1g alone.

haha glad to see another sweet rex out there, wish i could pick one up... someday.

 

B16a came out of 92-95 Civic. SiRII Hydro Tranny OBD-1
88-91 Civic CR-X Cable Tranny And Pre-OBD / OBD-0
and Integra XSi

 

not a bad car, saves you work on a motor swap which most of us start out with the sohc d series

and you think you paid too much for $3500? lmao then what the hell do i feel like for paying $2900 for a rusty 4 speed

 

 

lovin the wipe the grease with your finger off the engine block look.
