My girlfriends crx project

Recommended Posts

Last week I went and picked up a puppy from a local ad. While picking out the pup that I wanted I noticed a Red CRX sitting by the garage. I asked what the deal was with it. Kid tells me its for sale for $350 but he would take $300 for it. I start looking it over and find that its a 91 SI. I call my gf up who is a car fanatic and has been wanting a project crx forever to see if she wants it. Like I really needed to ask lol, but she quickly replies back with "fuck yes I want it"

 

It has honda rust starting on 1/4s but is litterally size of a quarter, dent on driver side 1/4 panel and surface rust starting on sunroof. It is missing the seats, dash has a Jager sticker on it and theres no motor/trans. Someone has done a Power Window/Lock conversion on it. Has a obd0-obd1 jumper harness already installed in it. Has B series linkage hooked up and a short throw.

 

Plans for it are to take my GSR's stock motor. Rebuild and boost. Goal HP is 350-400whp (more then the gf needs lol). She wants to do a JDM front and fully shave/tuck bay. First things first we have to tow it home Wednesday.

 

Enough with talking lets get to the pics:

One of the coolest Honda cars ever built. 400whp in that tin can will net 10's easy with some slicks.

 

It should if she can learn to launch it. She can drive very well belive it or not, just need to get her more seat time when it comes to launching. I think I am more excited about doing her car then I have became with my own build lol. Maybe its cause I love CRX's so much

What about making a sweet autocross car out of it instead of just another drag fag mobile?

Whatever shes into I guess...

 

You should still look into making it an autocross car, it would be a beast with a decent NA motor and some budget suspension upgrades. (There are turbo Honda's there, but never seem to get a chance to use their boost.)

It says what class in both links under "Class"...

 

I don't know about Brian's car, but Rich is on here, you could just ask him. "31rx7". Rich's car used to be daily driven to school by his son, I don't know about that anymore.

I am not going to sit here and say what you should use the car for, but ive always liked CRX's. If you want to go the route of totally fixing the rust, check at this place by indian lake that makes an aftermarket quarter's honda older cars. What would be sweet , making a complete oem color and look but yet have the engine and stuff done up. GOOD luck with the build.

7/28/09: I had a set of Wings West side skirts laying around. My friend for some reason wanted them, so a little trading took place. I ended up with the following for her crx:

 

Rear Divider w/Carpet

Rear Cargo Cover (unbroken)

OEM Side Skirts w/Clips
