Yeah, the tribute is for a friend of mine that i worked with for a little bit over a year at my cousins performance shop(RedShift Motorsports).. he got me into Autox before i was even able to drive... well he owned a 91 CRX that he named "The General"... was army green with a black roof and black hood(My Avatar) well he died a while back and i always wanted to do a CRX tribute to him and what he did for me.. he taught me a lot the short time we worked together... and he was an awesome guy.. would do anything for anyone

Re: the $500 start to a tribute build

HOLY SMOKES! that might be the best lookin $500 I've ever seen!

A built B18C would be super smexy. could also bolt in a stock d16 and boost it, but really you can't run much boost without better internals. at that point you might as well throw money a B series.

B18C but I'm a bit partial to them

Re: the $500 start to a tribute build

Does anyone have any other suggestions other then a head gasket that might cause a ton of white smoke when im on the throttle?

Re: the $500 start to a tribute build

Wholy smokes you got a great deal.

If someone was to sell that here in the Bay, they would be asking $4k+. People are a little too price happy around here. They try to sell junky, beat up, primered crx's for like 1400-1600+.
