Default 01DC4's Crx Build

Well Been working on this car for a few months now figured its time to start my own build thread.

I bought this car when i moved to Fl. in April of 2008 for $1600.00 its a 1990 Crx Dx. Car had a decent solid body no rust few minor dents busted windshield,inside the interior was in great shape as a whole just dirty and a lil haggard. Under the hood is a B18A1 Ls swap that needed a lil TLC along with a cable gsr trans that grinds 3rd and forth pretty bad.

Plans are to redo the interior back to mint condition,Freshen up the Ls and prep it for a simple Ls-T replace trans and overall have a badass street car with best of everything wont skimp anywhere on anything thanks for looking.

Looks like a quality build so far Though, out of curiosity, why purchase all of those ITR parts for your crx?

keep this going

orginal plans were to yank the ls swap in favor of a full ITR swap but after seeing the condition of this motor i decided to just boost it and go a differant route and ive always loved ITRs just always stuck out in my eye and had alot of honda racing heritage behind them just thought it fit with this being my track car

Couple questions as I'm building a 91 Crx myself and I'm removing all my R goodies from my daily(my 00 si).

What did you do about the seat brackets to get the seats to bolt in? My 88 Civic hatchback wouldn't accept the R seats, I haven't even tried to bolt them in my 91.

Very nice so far
