Bought this '90 Si CRX off a buddy of mine recently. He started this project a few years back but never finished (no time on his hands). So i'm gonna start up this project now. I been reading from HT for a few years now, just never posted much. But i think it's time I start doing that =]

In case some of you are wondering, 3in support beams are welded on each side on the underside of the body to support the chassis (since the roof was cut).


This is what the car looked like when my buddy had it:





Yes those are silvia head lights and yes that is a silvia front end conversion.


This is what the car look like now after being sanded down and ready for paint:


yes these are RSX tail lights haha



Dynomat covered all the interior (i know it weighs down the car a lot, but im not for ALL-performance on this CRX, i have an '88 HF for that ;] haha)


JDM B16A engine swap ODB0:


Air suspension system of all 4 wheels:
Air compressor

hard lines on rear wheels, soft lines for the front (for now =P)


NO DOOR HANDLES! lol door poppers are installed (remote activated to pop open doors).


Targa top, it jus sits on top for the moment without latches to lock it in place AND rain can get in too. Copied from the Del Sol T-Top




Custom leather seats (professionally dyed red/black to match Momo access.)




Interior (custom fiberglass parts all around):
The paint on the dash is what the paint used to look like on the body (red with light shined on, blackish w/out light)



Trunk and rear


Front and door panels



Rest of the interior

For the Kicker Subs

For the Kicker Amps


Sound and Lighting:
Amps

Speakers

Lighting




LCD that goes where glovebox normally is on the dash



Gauges that needs to be hooked up

New Rotors (haven't gotten them cross-drilled yet)

Electronic Air suspension control needs to be hooked up



Custom Exhaust (2in dual piping) with Skunk2 mufflers


Chrome Rims (Arelli 18")


Trying to sell the set if anyone is interested (5 wheels total, 4 with tires)



This is what the car looked like before paint:



Molding the fiberglass dash


The B16 is stock stock stock unfortunately =[ but I have ideas as to what to do next. BUT FIRST, hookup the rest of the **** first haha.

Yep, that's all I got for now. I live near Seattle, WA and planning to hopefully finish hooking up the stuff on the inside before the Honda Tech meet at golden gardens beach on April 4th. If you live nearby and wanna lend a hand, that would be awesome! PM me

 

love the top, but oh lordy on the bodykit, taillights, and front end conversion

that aside i think i'm still oddly curious how this will turn out when you're done with it. i'm hoping you'll be changing those rims too.. lol, but i mean whatever creams your twinkie.

 

Yeah.. i know haha still lots of things to change up, but for now.. this is what i got to work with.

 

By the way, this is my '88 HF
It's another project, planning to throw a K20 in it. As soon as I get the '90 Si close to done, I'll start this up

Stripped and gutting process:





The interior parts are sprayed painted for now LOL!



A lil sneak preview of the '88 KRX =D

 

Its kinda scary lookin. But to each his own. Im down to see this thing done.

 

uhg

 

I like everything about it, except the RSX tail lights. How come everyone tries to put RSX tails on everything?

 

LOL i have no idea, i honestly think the stock tail lights look better

 

btw, if anybody has suggestions as to what I should do/change on this project, please feel free to say so.

I'm pretty open minded =]

 

I'm not gonna lie. What was done to that poor CRX made me cry a little bit. At least it has a B16 though.

 

I think this style is dead now. All show no go. It was popular in the early 90's and 2000. Eurotuner magazine style.

 

it sure does look like someone took alot of time in this ride.

 

x2... but at least it is well executed. Definitely some craftsmanship on someones part. If I where going to change something it would be the front end, the back end, the sides, the top and the wheels. But that's just me.

 

yeah at least the execution looks to be better than 95% of the Honda-tech stage 1 (coilover sleeves on stock shocks, amber turn signals, rotas, ebay front lip, rookie driver badge) cars

 

That car is unsafe as it sits. Having cut the roof out of a CRX (parts car) and driving it the chassis flex so much that eventually the car bent itself in half. The roof is a major part of these cars and by doing what has been done you have taken away a lot of structure. You need to have that reinforced with some internal bars. All targa top cars have this in there already because they were designed that way, be it extra sheet metal or other forms of bracing. In what I see here I would not ride in that car with you.

I highly suggest you give my post some thought.

 

QFT!!!

I would not drive that car as is.


Haha, feel like I just went back to 1995!

 

DiceIsMe said "In case some of you are wondering, 3in support beams are welded on each side on the underside of the body to support the chassis (since the roof was cut)."

looks like he did do some reinforcing

 

It would be interesting to see how much flex there is compared to factory with the new beams in place.

 

I think its ok. The style is outdated. More like late 90's style, but i still love how your trying to save it. I still have a little ricer in me...hehe.

 

How much does this thing weigh?!?!

 

Atleast it has a B16. Sorry man, i'm not trying to flame, but it looks like X to the Z Xzibit just pimped your ride.

 

lol good one. that thing fell from the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down thats for sure. but I'm glad to see your taking good care of it and moving in the right direction and making progress. good luck

 

i feel bad for those rattle canned oem parts... but at least your doing what you want to your car. good luck with the build.

 

its a interesting show car, dont drive it on the streets. people will stare :0

 

I wonder too.

All the added DynoMat, air ride parts, bondo....
The B16 seems like it was a necessity just to get this thing to roll.
