Re: My new Rex (supraturboman)
by the looks of things its obviously a 88-89 si trim, car looks good though man
I definatly see the potential
you all have the advantage of finding decent crx/civic ef.. etc platforms in the US
here in Canada, we use salt on our roads, and if anyone of you's have been here, youll know what our winters are like.
Iv must have looked at over 200 crx's in the last 6 years, and 80% of them were rotten, holes in the floors the size of basketballs sometimes.
anyways how much you pick her up for?

You can tell what year it is by the front bumer. Its either a 88 or a 89. There is a sunroof so its a Si.

Good find. Take some pictures of interior and motor. What shape is the interior in and how many miles does the car have?
Also what are your future plans for the car?

Re: My new Rex (harmonator84)
The interior is the worst part of the car. I've been working on that since i got it a week ago. All its missing is the ac controls and the center heatvents. The engine just turned 200k cause i had to drive it home to NE WI from St louis MO. I was planning a swap but it runs so darn good right now with its current engine (D16A6) it purrz like a kitten, can bearly hear it if not for the ram air intake. As for it being messed with is totaly unknown to me. everything is stock to my knowledge including the stock "CRX" removable carpets.

Re: My new Rex (joethejoeman)
Well the gauge pod thing is from a 88-89, the tailights are also from a 88-89. But the seatbelts do look like they are from a 90-91...i would say that someone has switched the doors. Thats just my guess.

Re: (WERD up)
I'm thinking I'm leaving it completely stock and doing an engine swap. I got alot of turbo parts i need to get rid of so that would probably help the cause. I'm not sure of what engine I want in there yet thou.

89 si's and dx's for that matter have the door mounted seatbelts, only the 89hf had the non-door seat belts/88 style . I have had 2 different 89 si's and they both had door seat belts, my current 89 si is even a early one made in feb 89 and it has door seat belts

I hope I can find a crx like that soon since I just got my turbo coupe stolen.
