i like it. post pics.

 

i will as soon as i get it home. thanks for comments.

 

it ran 13.3 with a 156 whp gsr. so im hopeing with around 250 i can get into the lower 12s. but ill keep everyone posted on everything i do to this one. ohh and if anyone wants a crx shell lmk i got mine forsale. my buddy is supposed to get it this weekend but if he dont then it is up for grabs

 

damn. shouldn't take much to get it to move!

 

yeah it is light and hooks good. look on the second page of that link and u will see more pics and times and ****. im so happy

 

i sure as hell want to see more pics. it looks straight and rust free.

you freaking stole that car. at that price, i almost feel like you stole it from me. the seller definately should have sold it to one of us "new york guys".

posts like this are killing the price of our cars...

congrats

haha im getting it in the morning. i take it u read the whole thing. lol it is rust free and straight. and hey since yall new york guys pay so much i got another crx shell for sale. it is rust free. perfect body. but it is a bare shell. no front body panels. no interior but the dash and cluster. it is a 89 si and has jdm teg xsi rear brakes with new pads and rotors all the way around. clean car. ill post pics of it if anyone is interested.

 

bump.

 

thanks and to the guy wanting to see more photos. on that link go to the 2nd page there are like 2 more pics of it. thanks for the coments ppl

Good idea. That way you can have the bottom end out of the car being built as money comes in. With no down time on your car. Then when you're ready, slap the B16 head on it and swap that bitch right in!

 

yep my thoughts exactly. yeah ive been workin on it all day. i got rid of the blue dash and hf cluster. and put my black dash and si cluster in it. and i got some of the trim back on. im hopeing to have everything done today but the swap i got to find a good deal on a swap. i think i found one but im not sure yet. ill keep everyone posted on it.

 

if my buddy doesnt come get my other shell im gonna go ape **** on it, and take all my xsi rear brakes and **** off and put on my new one. lol i should do that anyways. but it isnt a stoping car it is a drag car. but it does have new rotors and pads all the way around never been used at all. i think ill give him a couple more days though. thanks for the opinions.

 

actually, if you're looking for a drag car, the best rear brakes are stock drum brakes, with OEM aluminum brake drums. perfect fitting ones can be found on older 87 crx hf's. similar ones that work ok can be found on insights.

disc brakes aren't bad, but aren't the best choice for a drag vehicle.

 

yeah i plan to stick with the drums but if my buddy dont come pick up my other rex then im gonna start pulling all the good stuff off the old one. and put it on the new one i will have new pics up in about 20-30 mins.


i took the old hx cluster out and the blue dash out and put my black one in with the si cluster. i might have already told yall that but....... later ppl

 

ok it wasnt quiet 20 mins but here are some more pics. sorry the cam is a piece.

front end

full race traction bars


i will try to get better pics for yall. and those are thumbnails so click them. thanks for looking.

 

13.3 with 156whp doesn't seem right. maybe that's just me, im not into quarter mile times but that doesnt sound right.

 

that is what i was told. and there are like 30 ppl to back it up. it was on slicks and with the traction bars. and the car is so light me (150 lbs) and a buddy(165 lbs) picked up the rear of it and turned it around a 90 degree corner behind a shop. and me and him push it up on the tow truck without the winch.

 

well im highly debating on swaping everything from the hf to my 89 si. i know it will be heavier but......... the hf has been wrecked in the rear. not bad but the bumper doesnt line up perfect. sooo quick? will the 88 hf front end work on the 89 si and line up right. without modification. and i should use the 88 doors also right? thanks for any advice.
