Default Hey! I have a CRX!

I'm 16 years old in Victoria, B.C. Canada.
1991 Celestial blue CRX Si, I got it bone, bone, bone stock.

EMGINE
-Rebuilt D16A6 block
-Rebuilt D16Z6 head
-D16Y8 intake manifold
-Header, ebay ceramic
-OBD1 conversion
-Chipped P28
-De-cat
-Drivers side wire tuck

BRAKES/SUSPENSION
-DA Integra booster, master and 40/40 valve
-Function & Form Type 1's

EXTERIOR
-JDM side markers
-SiR style exhaust tips
-Lame American Racing 14x6 wheels

INTERIOR
-Password:JDM shift boot
-Grant racing wheel
-Short shifter
-Pioneer deck
-Alpine speakers
-Bazooka tube sub

Next on the list is wheels, probably Sprint Hart CP-F. Maybe in a year or so I'll sell this car and import a Glass Top EF8 SiR. I did everything myself and am proud to say so.

Umm, they came with it. I don't think I've ever seen a EF without them.

Have you given the F&F type 1's a proper road test?

I'm a potential buyer.

Cool CRX by the way.

Don't worry...If I don't sell it I'll put a SiR front end on with a B16A swap.

Love it. Love the work, love the photos, love the colour. Wow ... and you're 16?? I'll tell you one thing - I wasn't this productive when I was a teenager. Curious: How do the teenage girls your age like it? I mean, do they 'get it'? Is it a 'cool old car' to them, or do they even care?

Also, thanks for avoiding all elements of rice. Somehow, I think the attraction to rice is strong in the 16-20yrs age group, so this may or may not have been difficult for you.

Thanks dude! Its weird how I got a jump start at this, it just happened and I liked doing it. I look up to others and try my best.

I think I'll be fortunate at school for next year. Most people have very lame cars, Chev Cavaliers, OLD Volvols, small trucks or the bus and no one, except for the farmer kids, knows anything about cars. The only modded cars were a couple of 240s and a Miata with rims. The CRX looks "sporty" so who knows, maybe it'll catch skirt for me.
