in summer of 2010 i worked my *** off at walmart for 3 months just to make the 2500 i spent on my si. she had 69k on the clock when i got it, had been elderly owned, and was in a minor fender bender before i got it (just a front fender needed to be replaced) anyway, the last year and a half ive been working on boats from alaska to oregon, and i'm actually financially stable enough to build this car the way i want to now.

 

Very nice. 69k, impressive. Just keep it clean. It shouldn't take much work at all.

 

 

well, thats my story from 2 years ago, i havent gotten to the parts where i got hit, and fixed it, and hit something else, and got it fixed. but the goal is to keep it clean. she sits at 104k miles now, and has a bit more work done to it. if only i can get my photobucket to work, i'd have alot more pics, and stories. :/

 

the day i picked it up. interior was all packed in boxes, and the passenger side skirt was missing along with the front bumber. its just a replica kit, prolly wings west.

 

Your picks don't work for me. Can you just post direct links?

 

yea, im trying to figure it out. im not very computer friendly. i'm using photobucket now (started my account today) what do you use? i wanna get these pics up. i have alot of em.

 

I use photobucket. Gimme a minute...

 

 

Okay. Here you go. I made you a video.

 

alrighty lol. sorry about that. i'm about to dump hella money in this car, but it would be nice if i can figure out how to use a computer first XD

right on! thanks for the vid. i was close. ANYWAY this is her first moment in my custody. i wanted one since high school, and now i got one! now what? i dont know how to drive stick yet, and i gotta get her home.. TIME TO LEARN ;D

 

i got it home! didnt kill it at all on the way home :D (accidently dumped the clutch at 4.5k at a light, that was fun ;D

 

after a few weeks of driving the crx every day (and neglecting my poor accord) i started to notice the little **** wrong with my crx. then i started running on 3 cylinders, and had less power than my neighbors dog towing me on a skateboard. i had some ideas, and it was time to get to the bottom of it.

 

well i cleaned the engine bay, replaced the plugs, and found the problem! one of the plugs was sitting in a pool of oil, so i went to my nearest shop and picked up some valve cover gaskets.

 

got it put back together, and cleaned it up somewhat.

 

You should just give me the Rex. Try not to destroy it. The oil is probably a spark plug gasket. The little circular ones, not the big valve cover gasket.

 

now that she runs, i gotta fix the interior, so im not driving around in a shell with a seat, a cluster, and a shitty ef steering wheel (i purchaced the car from a tuning shop, and before i left the shop, i walked out with an nrg hub, and a momo wheel.)

 

oh yeah, got all the little guys in place. checked on it a week later, no oil :D

 

inter put in the car! (prolly the first time its been together in a decade.) i put on the hub and wheel, i ordered a gauge face off ebay that i liked more than the stock one (haters gonna hate) and my cousin made a shift **** in metal shop for his eg hatch, but i NEEDED that ****, and i wasnt gonna take no for an answer. i also didnt like the plastic on the speaker covers, so i got some tachy spray glue, and some fabric and got to work. :D

 

the only thing left to do for the resto part was put the front bumper and starboard side skirt on. here she is chillin with my stingray.

 

at this point i was unemployed, and just iching to mod the crap outta my car. i did some touch up paint in spots, and it looked pretty good til i painted my wheels gold... oh god, why did i do that??? (the gold paint has been removed since then, but more on that later)

 

RICE!!! i thought it would be unique and cool, but as soon as the paint was dry, i had realized the horrible act i just committed.
