Default Back in the game again....You knew I wouldn't stray too far

Just thought I would chime in since its been a while since I posted in this forum...Well sadly I let the glasstop go last year...then went on to BMW's Someone decided they wanted to rearend me and destroy my bimmer. So I ended up purchasing an 88 Civic STD model just to get me around. I am trying hard not to mod this car but, only time will tell. If so you know that SOHC tranny is gonna get some love and I will be sure to do a write up on it Good to be back in the EF family...I have a lot of love for these cars





You guys are right....just couldn't leave it alone!! Added some GSR wheels-Toyo T1-S tires and some coilovers!

HAHHAHAHAHAHAH....your going to "try" not to mod it. I think we should take poll on this. That is just like I'm going to "try" not to drive as fast, or "try" not to drink as much or "try" not to ____________ . Good luck with that. Looks like a nice little car.

This car was sitting for about 2 years. Started right up with some love and runs like a charm. I bought it from one of the other guys here...it belonged to his parents(original owners ) It took me about 2 days to get it in the condition it is now...Took all the plastics out and hose them down, scrubbed them with simple green and laid them out to dry. It was a mission. I may make it a shop car and maybe do some racing with it...only time will tell! I will keep you guys posted!

Yeah I am really loving this car...I just hate thieves...That is the biggest thing I worry about. I always have the shop to store it in

Thanks for the compliments on the CRX...it was a beauty...A lot of time and money went into that car

Put some new pics up...I got this car from the original owners....Not bad..has the center console and armrest! Just needs a little clean up work. I am probably gonna end up selling once all is said and done with my bimmer....so keep an eye on it. Its the lightest model hatch I have 2 kids and this is not working to well for me! LOL!

The goods added:
Si tranny
New quarter glass on both sides
JDM CRX EF7 steering wheel
Wagon clear bumper lenses
Have a clock for it
Nifty seat covers
New axles
New battery
Front tires

Its been a mission to say the least!!

You are a lucky man. It was like 5 years before I finally came across mine. Everytime I see them at the junkyard they are always ripped or just completely missing. Ok, one last thing I can think of. Does your car have the original OEM optional rear speakers? Or at least the mounts/pods?
