I’m trying to restore a late friend’s 90 CRX Si, and had run into this when tearing down the engine. I’m not sure what they are or why he would’ve cut them as he was very meticulous.
Trying to get it to a point where I can roll it in and out of the shop.
I've had the car about a year now. Couldn't pass up the deal. $900 for a car that stopped running in 2011ish. Sat in a greenhouse tunnel with opaque coverings, sitting on top of tarps. 140k miles on the dash, and only the usual rust pockets in the rear quarters.
Picked up the b18c5, LSD trans, except stage 1 clutch, obd2 ecu, jackspain tucked harness, innovative mounts, mishimoto half-rad, oem type r axles, shift linkage with fancy shift knob, ac everything, power steering (minus the rack), a few other bits and bobs for $5k.
All bc I ran into about 7 electrical gremlins with the factory harness on the d15 I didnt feel like dealing with for a whopping 90hp.
Cheers!
Not done yet i got to clean it up and get it mounted but the vision is there 😂 clean up the switch panel and the bottom. couldve probably saved myself some hours getting it online but i like to make things difficult 🥲
Picked it up from a local junkyard after seeing it posted online, payed $1000 (no title), all it needed is a fuel pump. Unfortunately it's an auto but I can't complain. I plan on putting some nicer seats and door cards in, but I think I'm gonna be keeping this one stock just like I found it and enjoying it as a ratty driver.
Road Atlanta yesterday for a private event. Car still needs some stuff, but overall, happy with where it is to start!
Spent the winter revamping the Rex with new Doryaku front and rear bash bars which steamrolled into a new front bumper, lip, radiator, intercooler, and fog lights. I really like how the turned out. They fill out much better than the DLAA fogs in the top of the first Pic. This time I also made them chassis mounted and utilized the e36 bracket the came with.
Hi, I've got a 1991 CRX. It has 175/65 R14s on it. I've run Michelins on this car like forever and I love them.
Now it's time for new tires and Michelin doesn't make 14" tires anymore. Or so I'm told.
Are there any tricks to getting great tires for my car? What brands would be comparable to the Michelin's? Could I bump up to a 185s or something like that to widen my search? Any help would be really appreciated.
i assume it’s a drag build hah thing was crazy though
I've been thinking about swapping a boosted k20z3 into a CRX and I was wondering how well the car would handle the power. I would want it to be a nice street car and it probably would make around 400 horsepower. Has anyone ever ran any boosted k's in their CRX and did they drive all right? I think my main concern would be how the car would drive and take the power overall. Any advice appreciated.
I fairly remember someone saying that an early 2000’s Acura (I don’t remember the model) is compatible to swap its rear brake system with the first gen’s. Any info would be appreciated
