Default Nate's DIY Ground Up Restoration. My Final Honda Build! *91 Usdm Crx Inside*

Info About The Builder:

Some Of You May Know Me, Some Of You May Not. But I Hope My Build Inspires Many To Start Their Own Build Thread. Ive Been Playing Around With Hondas For About 7 Years Now. Some Of You May Remember My Last Build Thread. If You Dont Heres The Link.

https://honda-tech.com/forums/appearance-build-threads-122/putting-northern-virginia-map-91-crx-si-content-inside-2893127/

After I Sold That Car I Basically Kicked Myself In The *** For The Last 2 Years. And Ever Since Ive Been Searching For Another Car To Build. So For The Last 5 Months Ive Searched Long And Hard For Another Crx In The Condition I Was Looking For. And Here Is What I Found.

Info About The Car:

1991 Honda Crx. Dx Model. 100% Stock Down To The Original AM/FM Deck.
Dual Point Motor, Untouched Wiring Harness. Blue Interior All Complete. 275,000 Original Miles.

I Paid $875 For The Car And It Came With A 96' Spec ITR Transmission.

So my new speakers came in today. Ordered 2 pairs of 6.5 pioneer 250w for the front and the back.



Cut the original wires right at the plug and wired up the new jumpers. I heat shrink all my wires. No butt connectors here. Take your time do it right the first time.



And here's how they look mounted up.



Moved to the back and learned that someone cut the factory plastics to install shifty Sony xplode 6x9's.



So I fabricated a piece to fit for now till I search out some new plastics.

Actually me and my buddy went half on a huge deal. I got the rex and the tranny. And my buddy got a gsr block built for boost and a complete itr head and a conversion harness for his rex. All for $1750. Split the money even and divided the parts. He needed the motor for his Integra and I wanted the rex.

There's no troll, I should've quoted your original post that I was laughing about (but you edited it to something less gay after i posted.)

I WILL RELEASE DETAILS SOON.......

Like its some major thing about doing a swap.

Yea supposedly the car was in a wreck and crashed the whole driver front and instead of welding it back in correctly it was bolted. So I have to go back and re fit the front end and weld up a new core support. And I should be able to fix the bumper and make it look brand new.
