Got a 1991 CRX Si as my daily driver while I swap my motor.

Very dirty when I got it




Cleaned it up




I think it needs a new headgasket, not sure. Plan to clean it up and then daily like a boss. Once my sedan is finished this will be my auto-x car.

 

not bad, future plans

 

Well I'm in the process of swapping my built motor into my EK sedan, so once that's done it'll be time to really work on this. I haven't figured out how I want to build this car yet. Possibly boost but I haven't decided

 

car has plenty potential.

looking good so far man!

 

I bet you enjoy driving it so far.....

 

nice rex g

 

Love driving it. It will be my autocross car next season.

Put the winter wheels on


Got a NRG suede 320mm steering wheel


Sparco Ultra bucket seat


And a sweet birthday present from my friend, G-Force Pro Vintage helmet.




My heater takes 20 minutes to get warm, I bought a new thermostat but haven't install it yet. The valve opens/closes fine so I'm hoping it's the t-stat

 

Pic compliments of my gf

 

Nice car. How did you already get snow in MoTown? I live in Washingotn PA and there is nothing here.

 

We got about 2" in town, that pic was at Cooper's Rock on top of a mountain...they got over 4" there. Wisp Resort opening date is Dec. 17th, I'm ready to go snowboarding!

Nice to see a local on the forums, I often go to Washington/Pittsburgh for parts.

 

Hub came in.

 

GOTTA LOVE THA EF8

 

Looks good man

As for the slow heater warm-up time my old EF hatch had the same problem. But when it warmed up it got toasty in my car fast

 

Clean CRX. Love the white with the white wheels.

 

Washed her and went on a drive today, made a few (boring) videos with my GoPro. Also took some pictures.

I love that snow picture... any more progress?

 

Crx looks good man.

 

it looks good i want to see that thing auto x

 

Squeaks really bad everytime I turn the wheel. Passenger outer tie rod boot is ripped, axle boot cracked and sprayed grease everywhere. I'm waiting until my turbo gets here for my other car, then this car is going to stay in the garage all winter and get a new headgasket as well as maintenance.

Speaking of which, my overflow tank overflows on longer interstate trips and I'm losing coolant somewhere. Sounds like a headgasket to me, previous owner overheated the car due to a cracked radiator. Let's just hope the head isn't warped

 

nice!

 

New tie rod and axle, bought the wrong one at first



Then went to advance, they gave me a box that barely closed. New one is beefier and has a blue boot, also has a zerk fitting instead of sealed boot. Wonder if it's a better one?


And the old axle, I was tired of slinging grease inside my wheels

 

My 90 crx always took a long time to get warm even after I replaced the thermostat. It also never really got real hot either lol.

 

I fixed the squeaky lower balljoint and took her out for a drive. Some mid-40's guy who just got off work didn't look as he pulled out, side-swiping my passenger side and turning me around into a ditch. FFFFUUUUUU





If it's totalled I'm gonna try buy it back.

 

that suck

 

noooooo!! I love this car! What's the status with insurance people? Are they writing it off or fixing it?
By the way, your photos are awesome! What did you use to edit them and most importantly want to share your secrets on how to edit them? Namely, the pictures of the car near the red brick wall. Looks so neat, lighting is great!
