Ok so this is how i started off i crashed my beloved special edition i was at the point where i was going to repair all the damages but i came across this too sweet to pass up 1989 CR-X SI EF-7 Automatic but it was on its way out. So i decided to swap as much as i could over.

This was my SE



















Now this was the donor car when i saw pic of it before i bought it.













Now this is when we brought her home we were on the high way towing her home like this as well about 280km away.











This is unpacking the stripped already car and sorting everything out to get reinstalled.

came with free b-series mounts













A few pics of the car before i put it back together



















now the auto to manual swap




Since i was using the LHD 5speed pedals the brake switch and the clutch spring were in the way of the steering Colum. I had to use the break pedal from the auto pedals and modify them a bit. but since then i switched to a set of JDM pedals.



























Switch locations







motor really dirty after accident









now shes done the ef8 conversion for the front and my motor installed.









Now i went to go regi the car and it ended up being a salvage vehicle, so i searched around for a reputable shop to do my inspection and she went in. I contacted the origional owner and asked for some pics of the crash. It needed a whole new rad support installed so i sorced out a ef8 rad support and she was finished. It costed me about 900 for inspection and parts.









here is a video of my old crx going to the wreckers



here is the day after at race city our local speedway.



I am R207 that was my best time that night just started driving RHD.



Since then there has been allot of changes on the car i will update in a few days with another post.

 

good work.

 

I love that color on the old rex. Nice job with the rebuild.

I like pictures....

 

WTF? It looks like the crx in the first vid is AWD?

 

nice. the original is sexy as hell.

 

B16?

 

Yes its a b16, but its built a little bit on the inside ill have a full mod list next time i post

 

look good

 

yea it certainly does, what the devil is that about lol

 

wow man you've had your fair share of **** luck. good luck with this go around. you made out pretty well in the long run though. tight car.

 

you gotta learn how to work that ebrake clutch and gas son!

 

wow, you left a lot of good parts on your old car. new one looks pretty good!

 

ya i know i let a whole set of oem power windows with switches go to the wrecker. If i didnt have 2 more complete sets i would have cared but i needed the car gone.


^^^ I need to learn how to not act so cocky with posts 17 years ago wow...

 

Is that some Eurobeat tunes I hear in the second video?

 

nice one bro!!

 

all i have to say is good job sometimes i miss my crx

 

Sick donuts vid, and the pic of the black CRX on the strip looks great.

 

this **** is awsome. that car looks so good after

 

Very nicely done, keep up the good work.

 

damn good work man! love those rims too...what are they?

 

There axis maglite im looking at selling them or trading at the moment i would even be willing to ship them. I also have 5 of these wheels so if anyones interested in trades or buying them let me know. There 15x7 with +37 offset 4x100 and only weigh 11.5 lbs

 

car looks nice, looks like you made a good comeback, remember seeing this car at race city last year.

hopefully once i get the motor swapped and turbo put on the new crx i will be back on the street this summer, maybe see you around at the track or if you're ever at a beyond meet.
