Just picked this up a couple weeks ago.

1989 CRX Si
165k
No rust!

She's a little rough around the edges, but its going to be a fun project.













Plans are to strip the car and repair and repaint the body, go through the chassis and replace all control arms, ball joints, and bushings, slap a set of Koni Yellows in there, maybe a bigger rear bar, and daily drive the **** out of if....but I said that about the last one and its way past being able to pull DD duty now.

And lately I've been contemplating a SCCA Solo STS build, so we'll see what happens.

Hopefully I can manage a little self control with my checkbook this time around.

 

looks really nice I like it. super stock right down to the OEM si lip and hood insulation . just needs a fresh paint and you could sell it for a way higher price haha. but keep it and slowly build her up looking forward to this build.
but what are performance wise plans any suspension swap or engine . or keeping stock as possible?

If I build an STS car:

Shocks
Stiff springs
Bushings
Big rear bar
Remove front bar
I/H/E/T

Not sure I want to go that route though. Im still contemplating a stock restoration.

 

well go stock as a daily and slowly earn to make better performance upgrades as suspension.

Whatever I do, I'm doing it all at once. No slow builds where I have to take the car apart half a dozen times. When it gets disassembled for paint, I will have all of whatever parts are necessary to complete the build when it is reassembled.

This will probably have to wait until racing season is over and Im not on the road every weekend.
