Just moved a couple of weeks ago, going through some old boxes, found a few pictures of my old CRX. No scanner, so I snapped a pic. Kinda ricey, but these were taken about 4 years ago.

90CRX Si, B16 motor with custom 1.9 stroker kit, 11.5:1 compression, 17inch JM6's , WW bodykit, Mugen wing, Sparco Sprints. I hated that grill stuff that the bumper came with, so I changed the rear out for red lexan, never got a chance to rip the front grill out, cause I sold it. Oh well. Saw the car not too long ago at Mantaray Motorsports, where the purchaser of my old car works, and the paint is completely faded, looks like a light red, or rose color, r.i.p.

Looked Good.

 

Nice pics! 1.9L stroker kit? Explain?

 

its sexy.

 

B16 block + bore + custom JE slugs + LS crank (reworked) = 1.9

looked dam nice.

 

Thanks

 

 

hey what kind of bumper lights are those?

 

Just regular 94 Integra corners. Kinda ricey, but it was done way back in 96. There were about 10,000 CRX's w/Wings West kits that popped up in SD, so I changed it up a little.

 

Not ricey in the least, modding a car is up to everyone individuality and doing something to your car that is a definition of you is never ricey to me. I am looking at doing something like this to my bumper, i love the mugen bumper with the wrap around lights but dont have the cash nor really care for buying a over 400 dollar front bumper when i already have one that i could mod to have that look.

How well do the lights fit in there? what did you use to cut the bumper? Could you type up a write up on how you did it for me and PM me with it, im really interested in doing this.

 

Yeah, at the time, I looked for 8 months for a Mugen SiR bumper, never found one, so I had this done. I had a friend that worked at a Truck shop, they did body drops and shaved doors handles, made their own air ride systems, etc. He made a fiberglass pod to fit the light into flush, then he put that pod onto the inside of the bumper and traced it, cut the hole in the bumper to match, then fiberglassed the pod onto the bumper. It was cool watching him do it, that guy had crazy skills with fiberglass. The lights don't quite bend enough to "wrap" around the side, but it was close enough. I liked it alot, cause it stood out, which is what I wanted back then. Sorry I can't really do a full write up on it, all I did was lend a hand, if I did the actual hard work, it certainly wouldn't have looked like that

thanks for the info

 

 

I remember your CRX rodrez, that car was the street race terror...not too people really knew what they were getting into at the races ...
The paint was cherry, looked like it just came from the paint shop! Tim @ the Chop-Shop hooked up the bumper pretty nice..."would you like a nice , cold, refreshing beverage or soda whilst I work on your bumper"...

 

 

nice crx...should've kept it

 

pretty hot 4 years ago, pretty hot now..............

 

doesnt look riced out to me..my car is way more riced..lol..nice car..should have kept it imo

 

Thanks for the compliments. I really loved the car, but after having it for so long, and all the trouble I got into with it (young and dumb ) I decided to move on. The stroker motor blew after racing a Porsche on the freeway (at least I won ), valve spring failed, dropped a valve, destroyed the block. I dropped a stock B16 in it, and sold it. Bought a hatch and, I'm loving it now
