Not new but its been a while.
My name is Michael its been a while since I've had a Honda. I use to own a 90 CRX that I rebuild from near junk yard condition then swapped in a Z6. Got bored with than and pieced together a turbo kit and turboed the motor. Had it tuned and it lasted 3 months and spun a rod bearing. I rebuilt the Z6 in my 2 car garage with forged internals, ported the head, intake manifold and exhaust manifold myself, and then retuned it based on the previous tune and it dynoed at 210HP. While the motor was apart I tucked and shaved the engine compartment then repainted the entire car.
I picked up a 94 Civic Ex with a GSR swap last week. Fun car and way better to drive than the 87 Jeep Cherokee I traded for it.
Civic has all GSR suspension with coil-overs, GSR brakes, Upper and lower strut tower bars front and rear. The motor is a 00 GSR with a skunk 2 intake manifold, AEM fuel rail, AEM cam gears, Password JDM Kevlar whale ***** intake, DC sports header, full exhaust(I don't like). Interior is all installed with GSR seats and a crappy eBay steering wheel(I want the stock one) and a B&M short throw shifter. Rolling on a set of GSR blades.


I have the rear bumper on it now.





I've only had it for a week and so far I've cleaned it up really good. Replaced the wires, plugs, cap, rotor and fuel filter and this weekend I'm changing the oil. Also fixed a few issues with the interior like the random switch and wires handing out from under the hazard light switch(A/C secondary switch due to short in stock switch). Also found the cluster is from a auto so I took it out and covered the gear indicator and cleaned the white gauges(will be replacing it with a stock manual cluster). Installed my stereo system and put all the screws back in their holes so stuff isn't vibrating or falling out of the dash.
Major problems with the car are
GSR transmission needs to be rebuilt (No 3rd.
CEL code 43(fuel supply system and by watching the A/F gauge I'm pretty sure its the O2 sensor).
Has a miss at high RPMs (may have been the original fuel filter I changed today(started raining so I haven't tested it) or the O2 sensor.
Has a clunk sound in the steering when hitting a bump also has bump steer and play in the steering wheel. Pretty sure its the power rack previous owner removed the power steering but left the power rack so no lube and a heavier motor on it probable wore it out. Going to reinstall power steering and replace rack.
Needs body work and paint. Both I can do myself and as soon as I get the lip, fogs, and side markers installed I'm going to work on the fitment of the front end and paint it.
Also here are some pics of my old CRX
