Default Just picked up my new baby, and I found a nice surprise!

I just bought what I thought was a '91 CRX for $800. The guy that I bought it from said that it was a "fixer upper" and he was right, the interior needs some help and the paint is non-existant! but when I picked the car up I found a few surprises about it that made me a very happy man. First off, it's sitting on ground control coil over's with kyb agx's! The seat's have been swapped for racing seats and he's included four point harnesses with them too! It's got a set of 15" momo wheels! I was so happy that I just had to do out and drive it around some, but when I did I thought that the engine seemed a bit healthier than I thought, so I parked it and looked under the hood......SOHC ZC!!! woot! I love my new baby!

P.S. I'll get some pics soon so you guys can scream in horror over the paint job.

You didnt pop the hood when purchasing the car? You didnt ask if anything was done, hes pretty dumb to make a sale without even mentioning all the money hes put into it.

Ive been looking into a cage myself

Good find

If the coilovers are more than 1.5" drop FROM STOCK your KYB's will blow. They REALLY don't like to be that low. The piston inside will hit something internally and no longer work correctly.

Nice find though! I picked up my '91 LX sedan....but with problems, not good surprises. Only "good" thing about my car was the GS-R fat fives! GGRRRR
