Alright, so I had the 89 crx si for a couple years already, and I think its better late than never to start a build thread on here.

I bought the car completely stock from a Chinese dude a couple years back and it has gone through some minor changes since then. But im out of school now and am focusing all my attention on it and putting most of my money into it.

My plans are to have a fun as hell to drive crx. Im going to do a mild na build, redo/upgrade all suspension, and some interior stuff.

When I first got the car
(not me in the car)




Then skipping forward a year, same engine but with a few more parts.






But after riding around like that for a bit, things started to tick and my diff was going. One day it finally went. So with the gas money im saving, and becaues I lost my licence, I am building it properly this time and am paying close attention to detail.

As of now...


How it sits right now


Gauges and block off plate I made


I still wanted beat so I am keeping it simple with alpine components and soon alpine head unit.





Im taking out the engine tomorrow, and prepping the bay for paint.

Stay tuned for more!

 

are those white rims bbs's ?,

 

yes they are, sold em a while back because bbs + white = the worst 2 hours everyweek

 

 

I got a bit of work done today.

Separated the gear box cover and found this...


lol


I also cleaned the bay and slowly getting ready for paint.






After clean,








Also stated on the driver side wire tuck. I wont be running any windshield washers so the tank, motors, and lines are deleted.



For the squirter motors


With the left over washer hoes, I made super cool clear vacuum lines. I will get different size hoes to do all the vacuum lines.


Last but not least, I got this idea a while back and it works! just need to cut them down a bit.

 

looks like this is gonna be a fun build i wish you all the luck in the world with this... the car was pretty good to start off wit, i can imagine the possibilities

 

Thanks! I plan on keeping it simple fast and clean

Its a tomtom gps but I used it as a speedo and the time because my speedo cable broke last time i pulled the engine

 

Got the driver side wire tuck done!

 

Nice progress bro. I really want to get another honda and really really build it from the ground up. My last build was semi done from the ground up. IDK what I'm planning next but I love seeing builds like this, gives me more inspiration to do another build.

 

I can only pray this stays y49...

 

Thanks bernymach!

And I wouldnt think of changing the color, I <3 y49

 

This! Though you need to be careful of the Y-49 curse

 

¿que?

 

looks nice, but couldnt you have found a better way to mount the gauges and tweeters? to be honest, its not very detail oriented...

 

Was thinking the same...

 

The curse is said that once you own a y49 crx that it will be cursed forever in such ways that it will be wrecked, blown up, etc.

The reason behind it being the dye they used to make the yellow was radioactive so they discontinued y 49 for good

 

well it already blew so you have the curse.. O.O

 

They didnt fit the way I wanted them to so I just put vents back in and Im going to be using 3ways

 

Looks like a fun project man goodluck

 

I see... that's better. What are 3ways?

 

3way speakers, consists of a woofer, mid range, and tweeter.

 

So got my whole wire tuck done and some random little stuff done too.

Driver side headlight wires (same as pass. side)


Added air ducts to help keep the bay cool.




And painted the strut bar wrinkle black.

 

Coming along nice. Keep up the good work. I dislike the air duct DIY but that's just me.

 

So I got the block and head painted and it turned out great!


After


The injectors and Intake manifold were caked in this ****




Then I painted the fuel rail








Cover for the valves turned out great


As did the intake manifold

 

that intake manifold and valve cover look sick! whatd you use to do em?
