Default Ef squad edit or join up. But tons of pics for you CRX lovers either way.

So I'd say this is more of an EF squad edit than an add. Originally I was EF squad member 68 Pooper but due to some password issues which were never resolved (much to my dismay) I'm back as CRXTION. But, many changes have occured to my red baby since then so I figure she's due for a come back.

I've had this car for close to seven years now and it has been nothing like the picture perfect builds you often see here. I bought this 91 Si bone stock and have slowly aquired parts and goodies over a seven year span to get it how it sits today. The build was borderline glacial but worth it. It has been an uphill battle but I fight the good fight. Having a CRX is like having a mustache, both come with great resposibility. I've thought of selling severall times but I'll be damned if I don't love the red baby. Here for flamers and lovers alike I present the sexiest pain in my ***

The headlights are ZC and the tails are JDM, I have no problem mixing and matching because she's my mut. Also after quite a bit of thought I prefer the USDM front end over the other. Wasn't a big fan of the hood at first but the 1.8 sits a little higher and I was having hood issues.

No suspension pics, but it has Tein SS coilovers and a Swift Spring combo, ST sway bars front and rear, Tanabe lower ties front and rear and Energy Bushings which I've had no negative issues with. Skunk2 Bars on top and a bolt in 4 point.









She's on her second power plant now, the first was a second gen B16 and recently I swapped a 96 spec TypeR. About 2 months ago I installed a fully built JG Enginedynamics head and skunk2 stage 2 cams which I've been happy with. The trans is a 99 GSR trans with a 4.75 final and LSD. I opted to do the hydro swap clear back to the pedal as I've never been a fan of any of the store bought kits. Not gonna lie though it was a pain in the *** but I'm happy with the end results





On to the inside, found the cluster on ebay of course and snatched it up quick



My Uncle and I recently manhandled a new carpet kit in which makes the interior look amazing. Also I got tired of finding climate control units so I used a factory radio blockoff plate and a slice of a console off of a donor CRX to fill the hole. Honestly though if you live in SoCal and feel that you need your climate control unit or a heater... than wipe the sand out and just give your Honda to your girlfriend.





Here's a few pics after a 12 hour run into the heart of Oregon, gotta love that Honda reliability. She held up better than I did because I started seeing things at about 4 a.m.





Everyone has the DD pics on here too, plus they look great sitting together. Thats an 89 Cherokee that I beat the crap out of on a regular basis.







Here are a few for the 4x4 haters, that Jeep is a champ and it gets dirty as much as possible. I'll admit that I love bombing the streets low and lean in the Honda but doing the same in the dirt is always enjoyable





There's about two and a half feet of snow there and all we had to dig out was an axe





Anyway EF squad... do with me what you like but I wouldn't mind having my old number back.

I love the way they look slammed but just don't care that much. She's a gangster at heart.

In my opinion, I love the engine bay and whats in it, love the interior, just needs something on the outside. I dont know exactly what it's missing. But props on whats important. Great running rex with great performance mods.

Nah, not the paint. I think for me the ride height and the rims dont do it justice. It's a good looking car but needs a little more bedazz. If thats a word
