Default High School CRX

This is going to be a semi slow build I'm still in high school (17 years old) and I work at a pizza place haha.

I recently just picked up 1990 Honda CRX SI for 1,200 with a blown head gasket. VERY light front end damage from his mom backing into it. It has a blue hood, and had cracked head lights.







Got the car home and started to get to work!





And then I found this...... "blown head gasket"




I was so mad but I picked up a LS for 100 dollars I didn't want it so I sold it for 350 dollars and picked up another D16z6 with trans. I love single cams for some reason it's just me. I plan on putting my built head on it and one day doing a full tuck with a super charger.

It came with a Z6 and it made 163 wheel horse power before he sold it to me.

Thanks!


I picked up my D16z6 yesterday and I am waiting to swap it in, it's a stock one with 90k on it. I need to get the tool for the clutch tomorrow and hopefully put my motor and trans together so I can drop it in! I can't wait to drive this car, im sure with a stock z6 it will be fast. I plan on removing the rear interior and just keeping the front complete.
