So, at the service station next door, there was a CRX. It said Si on the back, I thought "All right, disc brakes for the Hatch!" Well, the guy calls me, we meet up. I am shown all of it's horrid glory and how it is in fact not a Si. No rear disc. No better motor. I saw the DOHC badge an thought maybe a swap. Nope. Oh well, I low ball the crap out of him and take it. Check this bucket out. Glove box full of salt & peppa, rear lower springs w/ OE front spring. OE shocks of course. I cleaned it out, tons of roaches. He said it doesn't like to run, so I put a half gallon of gas, used set of wires & plugs from my hatch. Runs like a champ. Make sure to check out the sexy bald rear tires. What should I do with this thing? It's loud and nasty. The battery is held down by a bungy cord. The engine appears to be reasonably healthy. No massive leaks. I am not gonna swap anything into it, I have my hatch for that. The body is quite jacked up. Interior is all right.












and one of my hatch for fun.

 

its not a bad project car though. just needs a little tlc...... and a different muffler pointed at a 90 degree angle instead of 10 hahah. nice intake though. better thank stock box. how much did you pay for it?

 

I kinda thought you were kidding when you said the glove box was full of salt and peppa. Guess not. Thats a dude who likes extra pepper on his Taco Time.

Love the SI badge from an 87 too.

So what did you pay for it?

 

$119

To get it running, I had all the stuff I needed used.

So do I. No drinking this weekend. hahahaha

 

hell, the taillights alone are worth what you paid for it.

 

Wouldn't you have known if it was an Si or not just by checking the car's title/registration?

I'll tell you this - I bought an Si in much worse condition (body wise) with a stock engine for $1200, so don't feel so bad =P

HAHAHA! All right! Great! Now to find some crazy kid who needs a car.

 

where are you? If you're upset and trying to get rid of it, I'll come get it . .

jeez

 

I AM NOT UPSET. I knew what it was when I paid for it. It's a lil economical car. After my vacation, I am gonna fix it up a little bit and sell it to someone who needs a car. It's not pretty, but it'll run great and get great MPG's.

 

Crazy (POOR) kid in seattle needs a car to get to work/school pm *with* info

Ninja edit

 

$119
Sell it for $1500 and call it a day.

It doesn't look bad at all to me, both of my CRX's were bought in worse shape than that.

 

dx motor y0! sicc swap

is that a sun roof on top or is it glass?

from my guess it looks like an 88 dx with si front lip and 90-91 tail lights

 

You'll have fun fixing up the crx, its a decent plateform.

Don't get to bent out of shape over the rear disk conversion. IMO its not worth it. I did it and regret it. It will cost you money, add weight, have a weaker park brake, and will provide either the same or just slightly less performace than the drum set up.
A lot of people don't know that in 1990 when the crx switched to rear disk, the car actually stopped 3 feet longer than the previous model with rear drums.

 

Thats pretty interesting ^^^ But was probably due to extra weight elsewhere in the car.

 

The extra weight is in the arms and calipers of the rear disk conversion

 

all it needs is a little work

 

Great find for the price!! Make that bitch an autocross car!!

Don't worry bout the body and paint, gut the **** out of it, then:

swap,
coilovers,
wheels tires bushings misc suspension tweaks,

And then beat the living **** out of it on track days.

Oh, I really am not. This car is what it is. A little crap rocket. No clue what I wanna do with it, I leave on vacation today, so I'll have some time to ponder. And get hammered.

 

I have seen alot worse, it actually has alot if potential to be a good car. You can't find CRXs around here with full interior, I would have been happy as hell to find that thing Good luck.

 

Word. It's gonna be for sale soon
