DaddyBuiltRacing Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) 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: 1. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/Tacaras%20CRX/crx6.jpg 2. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/Tacaras%20CRX/crx.jpg 3. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/Tacaras%20CRX/crx5.jpg 4. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/Tacaras%20CRX/crx3.jpg 5. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/Tacaras%20CRX/crx2.jpg Edited July 23, 2009 by DaddyBuiltRacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linc5.0 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 looks like a huge piece of shit. but I LOOOOVE crx's. Good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Haha thanks for the encouraging words Erik. It wont be done til next year so it has plenty of time to turn out nice. Under side of car is mint which is a huge bonus, it doesnt really have much rust at all. And I still have 3 crx parts cars worth of parts laying around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 It is true there needs to be more CRX's on the road. Ones that are not falling apart or filled with rust holes. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a few pics of the rust just to show you its not that bad Passenger Side Rust http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/Tacaras%20CRX/crx3-1.jpg Driver Side Rust http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/Tacaras%20CRX/crx2-1.jpg Better shot of car http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/Tacaras%20CRX/crx-1.jpg The gf and her Rex waiting to head home http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/Tacaras%20CRX/crx4-1.jpg On its way home!! http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/Tacaras%20CRX/crx5-1.jpg Edited July 23, 2009 by DaddyBuiltRacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 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.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statistics for Rich Grunenwald Statistics for Brian Robertson in what class? and how much is in those cars? are they drove to the track? and yet both cars finished out the season in second place?

Rally Pat Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Yeah I plan on cutting out the rust and welding in new metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosted98gst Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/Tacaras%20CRX/parts.jpg Edited August 3, 2009 by DaddyBuiltRacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
