Alright well i got my first car almost 2 years ago and it was a 89 crx SI (black)clean title with a state reffed d16z6... blew the motor/fixed it then dad made me sell it.. so i bought a 95 civic hatch VX... hated it... to slow and i just wanted a rex again... i got a civic hatch for a good deal thinkin i would like it and i do but it just wasnt the same.. then i also had a few other cars... now i finally got my hands on another crx SI and its clean title..
I got the car MAY 7,2006
Well basically i just wanted to start a lil build with it and show pics to see wat people think of it... please dont sit here and flame on my car.. if u dont like it just click the back button and never look again...

Here is the day i bought the car




Yes looked VERY ugly and needs lots of work... i first started by changin the front bumper lights to amber ones i had from my old rex(thats my other hatch in the back)


then i started to sand her down a little and started to change out the gay RICER tail lights



after all the sanding i decided to do a little rattle can job... did it SEMI FLAT BLACK not reg. flat black... turned out pretty nice.. im lookin for the 91 bumpers so thats why mine arnt painted yet...also threw on a pair of gsr blades (takin them off soon and putting some rota gt3's or rota c8's)






After that i started on the interior of the car.. i cleaned it up and then put in a fake Bride steering wheel from ebay


Here is the pic of the little d16a6 sitting in it.. i had to wait for it to pass smog (i just threw a srt-4 cat on and it passed).. here is a pic of before i clean the bay a little then after





Finally she passed smog!!!! then it was time to pull her out!!!!




I got a DOHC ZC from a buddy of mine for pretty cheap so i cleaned it up and painted the block and head black and im going to do the valve cover soon...




so then i threw her in that night








also got the exhaust done


put in a 4 point roll cage (looks clean)




this is all i got for right now... i also lowerd the front and im about to do the back of the car sometime this week... let me know wat u think..


here are some new pics of when i just painted the valve cover and heat wraped my intake and put a chrome oil cap on lol....






and here is a lil front pic of my crx (really dirty) and my 92 civic 4 door (its shaved with lambos and a buddy club 5 kit)
