well ive had this $400 CRX for a few months and its time to get started on it
i started with a bone stock 88 Si with 241k on it and no it didnt run
so i yanked the motor i plan to keep it nearly stock

here are a few pics



and heres my DD just for grins it isnt a honda but i like it




will update as i go

should be getting my free a A6 in a week or so

 

well my buddy motor actually isnt a A6 its a stupid D15B6

well plans are changing i think i actually may turbo this one i got some eagle H-beams rods (hopefully are still usable) i got a motor for helping with a swap but i think the bottom end is junk (not sure yet) its a Y8 or course

as of now she is finally back on the ground YAY!

 

Another crx saved.

 

X2 !!!

 

actually this one only made it to the junkyard before the guy i bought it from "saved it" then it sat outside his shop for 4 years he was going to use it as a parts car but nothing was really missing aside from a few small things

will post more pics later there are parts everywhere right now LMFAO

not to mention motors and **** all over the place

 

x3

 

sweet score

 

well this sucks the probe took a **** and i had to spend 317 for a distributor so my plans have been slowed somewhat since im basically broke right now. maybe i will sell some **** out of my garage for some parts money

 

in for potential, long live god's chariot.

 

Update i had to order a new latch for the hatch from honda $62 only one more left in the US
about to make pickup another 90-91 SI parts car for 50 bucks the front is crashed though although ive though of something i could do with it later hehe

 

well time has passed and i havent updated
so here what ive done
i finally found another motor the one i wanted to boost will be going to machine shop soon


filled the rust pin holes in the sunroof

bought a 89 SI y-49 for parts
came with a good a6 motor

new speakers and rear interior coming together

dirty interior

 

gl keep us posted

 

alright i just bought yet another crx its an 89 HF i paid 2000 for it and got some very good uogrades with it (still have the 88 too

hot rod flat black

the kicks

the engine bay

rear wheel disc added

sitting on tokico d-spec full adjustables has some kind of camber kit on the front (not sure yet)
the exhuast sounds like *** sooo....i had to burn a hole in my pocket



and the z6 crank came out very nice appears in good shape with no scarring at all


thats all for now

 

Keep up the good work bro... Is that Probe a turbo? if it is than those can be hella fast..I got ran over at SD Race Legal back in 2002 in my b16 75 shot nitrous in the 1/8 mile by one..Made me respect the Probe real fast that day..

 

i already sold it no it was all motor but it pulled real hard only the first gen probes are factory turbo i was going to buy one but the seller backed out

i still liked it but parts where getting hard to find and where very expensive the crx on the other hand is much easier to buy parts for much better afermarket support the only way to have a probe tuned is on a mega squirt standalone ecu (didnt wanna deal with that so im gonna stick with hondas now

 

Your right it was the first gens Probes...
Hondas do have a big Aftermarket following that's why so many choose to build them.. With building a car that has lil support means a whole lot of cash in custom parts and fab.. I remember back when When I did my first swap around mid 90's on my EF I had to cut the motor mount brackets in the engine bay it self, put the motor in suspended by the cherry pick, then weld the bracket in that supports the motor mounts.. Believe me thank goodness for all the after market support, what took a whole day or 2 only takes 2-5 hours now to install.. Don't know how old you are but we used PVC pipes from Home Depot for our cold air back when..lol

 

hahaha pvc pipes from home depot i actually saw a probe with an intake like that at a junkyard once. Im not quite that old i dont think. All the performance parts that where on my probe where from companies no longer in business (not such a big demand for parts)
