Ok so i bought this 89 SI CRX for $700 out in St Pete.When i bought it the guy said it had a blown head gasket and it wasnt driven around so i shouldnt have to worry about the head being warped or anything.So when i got the car to my house i ripped the head off replaced the head gasket and come to find out the guy was right it didnt have a warped head but it did have a CRACKED head .So the next move was buying a z6 swap from one of my friends that is cammed out and i ripped the crappy a6 out.The car was completely trashed on the inside when i got it.The car came on some ugly *** 17 in rims and was stock height.So i ordered some lowering springs and found someone to buy the tonka toy rims and i put some fresh steelies with eg hubcaps on it (looks pretty fresh).Just threw some HID's on it and now im thinking about swapping out the stock SI 5 speed tranny with a 4 speed that i have just laying around in my shed just to see what it will do.But heres some pics would love to have some input on the new project.Lmk what yall think.

Ok so this was the interior when i got it

looks good!!!

 

It looks pretty good on the outside. Much better than I thought, considering those interior pics.

 

i know right ^. but why exactly would you want to swap out the 5 speed si tranny for a 4 speed? "what it will do" is make it accelerate a lot slower.

 

lookin good man keep the up dates coming

 

nice ^

 

 

I liked the rims that came with it, maybe a little big but still ok lookin. It looked like someone puked on the ceiling or something lol. But it looks pretty good, especially the exterior. Nice grab

 

seriously, DON'T put a 4spd in there!!!!! it will SUCK *****! i have a 4spd in my std and i HATE IT. stick with the si tranny. if i had the cash for a clutch i'd swap my si tranny in right now.

 

yea defff keep the 5 spd. and i think personally it looked better with the rims, but it wouldve looked really good if you got some nice 15's on it

 

say no to 17s....gl on the build....wat other plans?

 

i would have to disagree man with the rims but im about to order some red sportmax 501's and throw them on there, but thanks for the feed man

 

yes sir thats why i had to get them off of there.....but thanks, well i got a ls block sitting in my shed and one of my friends is selling a gsr head so im thinking ls-v.

 

Not a bad start.... good luck with your build.
