Hey guys so idk if u have ready my dads forum or not but anyway i am 13 years old and i recenty i bought a 1991 Honda Crx Si for 400$ yes four hundred buck.. It runs and drives fine. the clutch is slipping so i have a new one of those to install soon! also there are some rust issues i am going to hopefully take care of soon. and last but not least the interior was a little messed up but that was no problem for me and now its all better.



anyway if u guys have any suggestions, questions, or tips id be more that happy to take them in.. thanks guys!


(posting pics soon)

I wish my dad let me buy a car when I was 13 =/

lucky you are

 

bump

 

ikr im so excited for all the upcoming work!! and also i payed for it so yea.

 

Do itright and have a clean car by the time you can legally drive.
First id grt it running top shape.
Source missing body oeices
Paint it,
Change the steering wheel then wheels then coilovers.

Lots of potential in both you and the car.

 

its a new steerin wheel i picked out.. i like it actually and thanks!!

 

thanks

 

I like that path of bringing a car back to life.
Brakes first, engine second and everything else.

If that's a real Nardi, why would you suggest a new one?

 

its a real nrg and i have no clue was wondering the same!:/)

 

*** edited ***

nrg = ebay wheel..... eh you could try to find a oem one at a junkyard for cheap.

 

Not a nardi as clearly in the pic it says nrg. Def should find a OEM replacement. Not sure on the quality of nrg's wheels. Def good car to pic as a project.

 

.... looks like it had a wings west body kit.

like some have said, make sure the engine is running in tip top shape.
and since it looks like it might have been someone elses project, do double check your wiring.
check your brakes
replace both bumpers
fix rust
and a new coat of paint.

 

no guys its a real nrg i replaced it after i bought the car.. it is NOT ebay.. and its good quality and stuff, attached with a momo hub.. this was my old stock one. i hated it

 

yes it did have a wings west body kit. but I'm deciding to go all stock and i purchased a new bumper(stock) and am looking for the rear

 

Looks like a decent deal. I've bought a number of ef's for the $400-500 mark. The body is always the first thing that receives my attention.

A couple examples of rides i bought cheap...
91 Si $500


91 crx si $400

 

awesome i saw the build pages good job!

 

so guys haven't done much due to the weather but it was nice today and I got pick up some body parts that I dearly needed and I got them for a steal 25$ at my local junkyard

 

nrg isn't a comparable company to momo/nardi/omp etc. is what they mean.
pretty sick to have a crx si at 13 years old.
now time to learn A LOT before you start driving haha.

 

exactly hopin to learn a ton before as I already have learned so much already!

 

good thing it has the climate control too, those things are like $200.

 

the climate control was broken so i bought a faceplate and it work good now..

id still like to get a new one bc the temperatur selecture **** wont stay on , bc the thing that turn inside is broken.

 

more parts

 

Whooops.
Yeah, I misread that pic completely. I really thought it was a Nardi on there.
Brain crossed wires I guess =/

The NRG wheel needs to be removed and sold like JDMSwagSerf pointed out.
Some NRG wheels are decent, but since they use cheap materials to cover them (their suede seems to be the worst), they fall apart.
Some NRG wheels are just as cheap as the no-name brands on eBay. Not worth the safety issues.
