Default My New Toy

So some of you may know I had a 94 EG hatch.


I've had it up for trade for awhile and found a few so called " Good Cars" that turned out to be a POS. I had almost given up hope, till I found this little gem.
It's a 1989 CRX SI. 98,356 miles. Original miles. That's right...098,356. Red paint, looks to be a re-paint by maaco or something similar. Story behind it is Parents bought it for there kid for his first car. He didn't pass his learners test so they sold it. While he had it he painted some interior pieces and buggered up the ***-end (Paint wise). Good things, Has COLD A/C, A6 that DOES NOT smoke a lick, non-rip drivers seat, no sunroof leaks, everything works. Bads are I new all new corner lights, bumper lights, tail lights, and a climate control. Other than that a few trim pieces and a new paint job. I think I did well, It drives so smooth. Handles great. I absolutely LOVE it. Here's a few pics, i'll upload more later. (Has EK seats, but I picked up a CRX drivers seat today and swapped it.)











So what do you guys think? -Later, BR

No need for the sarcasim man. I know it looks rough, but It really isn't bad. My hatch "looks" good in that pic, but the spray paint was starting to fade pretty bad and few other things that were getting annoying. Also, I've always wanted a CRX SI. So, I still like it.

Anyone else? -Later, BR

If you like it and feel as if you came out on top, then that's all that matters.

But from the pictures, it's hard to say that it's a "gem".

Looks don't make the car go guys. lolol. It needs far less things than my hatch was needing, and I've always wanted a CRX anyway. My EG looks good in that pic, but that is spray paint and it was showing it. starting to fade and peel. That pic was taken about a week after I painted it. Also, Pictures seem to make it look worse than it is. I've already have the interior near spotless besides the climate control. I appreciate all the view points/opinions guys. At the end of the day I like it, and I know I can make it into what I want. Thats what matters. -Later, BR

With low mileage like that, I'd say it's worth saving and has major potential. Just needs to be put in the right direction.

That was one major selling point in my head, along with the A/C lolol. -Later, BR

This is true. However, it would have been hard to find one with under 100K. I don't mind working on these. Thats what makes it worth it. Spending days searching around junkyards, ordering your parts from fj, bisi, etc. Thats what makes it worth it. I like turning "POS" into something people go holy hell, that used to look like that!? LOL. Thanks guys, will update pics today. -Later, BR

like i said, you could have found a Way cleaner crx if you just waited. so what if its under 100k, if it was you could rebuild the motor cause your so kean on restoring a crx.
i see what happened cause i was just like you, wanting to trade my car so bad that i didnt care what is was or the condition.

I think thats a pretty good trade!

low mileage clean crx, thats almost imposible to find now. And it won't take to much to get it looking good.

Did you do a carfax to see if the mileage is original?
