just got an 88 crx hf yesterday. my buddy is friends with the people at the towing impound lot, and we got this car for $100!! Ever since I sold my 88 SI I been wanting anohter one. gotta replace the structure right behind the headlight, and get a hood and fender for it. but it runs perfect, and its super clean inside and out!
Since this will be my mileage car(the wagon sucks fuel now ), I wanna fix it up some but not mess with the good mileage. what do you recommend?
I pulled off the bumper so I could work on it, and it didin't have a crash bar, just some brackets to hold the bumper skin on! they went the extra mile to lighten this!

 

good pick up, i think?

 

hook it up clean,
it depend on your budget, get a Cf hood, painted,
get a good header, intake, some minor stuff, maybe a light grind camshaft,
nice wheel, and change the Oem part that seem foked up,
( ball joint etc)
btw it's a freacking nice buy for 100$, I'd buy three right now if I could
kranked

 

yeah it had a $100 cd player in it to boot. no way to go wrong!

 

Shoot for 100$. I would part it out and make money of that. But then again, it is a great buy. Ahh, do what you want.

If its just going to your mileage car why dont you just do cosmetics to it?? I wouldnt think it would be worth doing a bunch of performance parts considering its an HF and wont feel much of a difference.

 

uhm, that car is near totaled. I dont know how this was a good buy unless you are gonna part the car out or take it on as a full on race/ driver restoration. I would part it out if I were you.

 

it doesnt that bad you can fix it with Z3 FeNdErZ yO! no seriously its not that bad, makes a good track car

 

ROFL

 

Near totaled? Go take a look at my pics of my parts car it was sold with a repairable title and it was hit so hard in the front that it pushed in the floor board a little and broke off 2 of the mounting tabs on the ecu. This car he bought for a $100 is far from totaled. Pick up and SIR front and there you go!!

 

I do bodywork, so its not near totaled from my point of view. for now I'm just gonna get another headlight to fit, and get a hood and fender. no rust on it, so no way in hell i'm partin it out!! i already know where a hood and fender the same color are! The bumper wasn't touched, I just took it off to unwind the other stuff.

that just needs some luv

 

I picked this one up for $500 with a blown engine

 

you guys are lucky
i can never find something like that

 

I like this guy's idea. You need to fix the front end anyways, you might as well pic up a SIR front end. I dunno, just my opinion.

how much do sir frontends run?

 

around $650... it would look real nice if you painted it black with the jdm front end
