thats right. I just picked up this 88 CRX si for 800 bucks. the guy was joining the military and needed it gone. Bought it and limped it to my house, as it needed a new passenger side cv axle, alternator, and passenger side motor/trans mount, fixed it all in a day, and now i have an si that I paid 800 bucks for. im super excited. Now i just need to get rid of those fugly "racing" mirrors. Lowered on omni power drop springs and tokico blue struts. has f & r strut tower bars. DC header. Interior is pretty clean, drivers side seat has a tear.


What I have done so far
-New alternator
-New passenger side alternator
-trans/motor mount

so basically just preventative maintenance so far.


I will keep all of you updated on the progress of this car. Here is a list of what my plans are, as of right now.


Plans
-Stock mirrors
-Real harnesses with a harness bar
-GSR Blades or LS webs
-Skunk2 coilovers
-Polyurethane bushings
-LCA's
-Seats (either S2K leathers or buckets)
-Motor swap (Possibly just a head swap for something vtec + all the ghey wiring, possibly B16 although i have more research to do to figure out what the best and easiest swaps are for this car)

and the list goes on. I'm sure I will be adding stuff here and there but yeah thats a basic overview of what I want to do to this car at this time.

 

Nice but wrong thread. This belongs over in the apperance fourm, or claim it as a build thread quick.

 

No don't!
build threads are becoming more frequent and less interesting.

Props on the car though looks like you got a killer deal.

More pics?

 

yeah, I will have more tomorrow. With my real camera, but here is one more crappy cell pic. Oh and the pictures show the bad side of the car. haha the guy i got it from really wanted it gone.

 

for only 800 not bad at all......good call on those mirrors.....***** are way ugly....but good deal mos def

 

yea i dont know what he was thinking. it has those ugly mirrors and "racing harnesses" that came straight from ebay. and they are bolted to the floor of the car. So pending they actually do prevent me from flying out the windshield, which they probably wont, chances are my back is going to be effed. So i have a bit of de-rice to do before i make it sweet. haha

 

you should just make this a build thread then and keep us posted....and throw some more pics on too.

 

There is a place for build threads too, and it isn't here.

 

build list added to op

by the way, anyone know where i can get new front lower control arms? all I can find is rear LCA's and my front passenger side is a bit bent I think.

 

Great deal wish I could find one like that

 

yea just claiming a "build thread" will still have toad shut you down..... this is a lost thread..... your next one needs to have some "tech" involved then your good
