So I just picked up a 89 crx si with an ls swap in it. Tell me what you think.

Suggestions welcome.

 

Nice whip clean!

 

Thanks, paints a little faded though. Anybody have some tips on how to bring the life back to the paint?

 

Need some money shots to check out the bay!

 

directional wheels that are going the wrong direction bug the hell out of me!

 

I think it rocks hard. What kind of exhaust is that?

 

if you're talking about the swirlies, they are pointing in the right direction... lol... BTW i think it'd look better if you took the center caps off all the wheels, besides that.. sick crx, very raw for keeping the oldschool frontend/rear lights

 

I'll get some tomorrow! Just got the car tonight


Yeah I noticed that in the pics too, the car had Ls's on it for now.

Thanks. Actually, I'm not sure of the exhaust. I'll have to look at it tomorrow morning :D

 

I'll be getting some new wheels with the tax money. Any suggestions?

 

Looks pretty good for an 89! My civic is a 98 and it looks horrible...

 

Is the paint just faded or is the clear gone on it? If the clear's not gone just buff the hell out of it and put on a nice coat of wax. And I'd suggest also getting some plastic renew to get the trim back to it's stock semi-black look.

 

switch the wheels around, the dicing instead of slicing is throwing me all off!

Looks pretty clean, give it a good detail, polish, buff, clay bar and all that and get some more shine out of her.

 

good find. i have to say that finding a CRX in decent condition is not easy. wish u the best on the project. JDM front FTW!

 

needs to be dumped

 

The clear is still there its just real faded. I'm sure you can see it in a few of the pics.

The swirlies are gone so thats not a prob anymore

Yep! I have a lot of plans for it.

Trust me i know! It has some neuspeed springs on it right now. I'm in the process of getting a good suspension set up.


-Engine bay and interior shots coming in a few minutes

 

So far here's a mod list I've come up with:

fresh b18a1
ys1 trans with supposed lsd. Haven't confirmed
DC 4-1 header 2 1/4 piping to a Magna-Flow exhaust? But i'm not sure. No markings
VIS Carbon Fiber hood
Front and rear no name strut bars
Nuespeed race springs on kyb struts
VAFC. Why? I don't know.
Ebay short shifter.

I was just driving it back from a buddy's house and noticed the temperature climbing. Stopped to check it out and of course, the water pump is leaking. Oh well, easy fix.

These are shitty pics so I'm warning you ahead of time. Needs a detail too. And a wire tuck, and a million other things...













The interior is actually a lot nicer than in the pics

 

very clean crx for that kind amount of money !!! good luck with it !!!

 

looks good

 

Thanks. Can anybody help me figure out what exhaust this is?

 

nice find.
