Hey guys... it's been a while since I've owned an EF of any kind, and even longer since I had a CRX. I have previously owned 3 EF hatchbacks, an EF sedan, and as far as the CRX goes, I had a first gen 87 Si about 7 years ago.

Just today, I drove 190 miles in my coupe to look at a Tahitian Green 91 CRX Si. I didn't really know what to expect until I got there, but it turns out the car was really clean (for a 21 year old car). The typical dings and scratches here and there, and a rusted sunroof panel, but I would give the overall appearance a 7-7.5/10.

The rex has a blown D16Z6 in it right now, and a single in / dual out exhaust, but that will change soon enough. I still have a few things I need to do to the coupe before I start on the rex, but I will get around to it soon enough.

I decided to name my rex Himashi, Japanese for 'daily' as that is exactly what this car will become in a couple of short months. Most of my money will be going into my coupe, but the rex won't disappoint, I promise! Be sure to check up on both of my build threads for updates, as I will be wrenching on both of them at the same time (although more slowly on the rex).

And now, some pics for your eyeholes:

The car came with all the cargo covers intact, OEM Tahitian Green floor mats (in good shape, just need a good cleaning) and the original owner's manual... clean title, no accidents, not a bad find for $900.

Up first is a good cleaning and basic wear parts replacement... comments are appreciated, haters can jump in a lake with some cement shoes on. Thanks for looking!

 

Lookin good homie! Can't wait to see what you do with it.
Save me that z6 when you pull it out...I'll put it to good use.

 

Block has a huge hole in it... not sure about the condition of the head, but you know you're welcome to it. Either that, or it goes in the dumpster (I'm STILL old school). Lol.
