Been 72 hours.... And I have gathered lots of parts through craigslist.
Car came with front blown struts, so I picked up a set of tokicos with springs
Picked up blox rear lcas and 490 shift knob as well along with a used mono 320mm race wheel.
Waiting for new cat back arrive since the one on the car is falling apart... Need to put on new CV shafts and needs oil pan gasket. Just did the cap, plugs and plug wires yesterday along with an O ring on the dizzy.
Gonna be busy tinkering with this thing for a few weeks.
Its hard not to mod a crx! picking up a set of civic hx wheels to round out the look next week as well!
Those EF chassis cars are a hoot to drive. Light weight as well
The first thing I recommend is check for leaks in the trunk area.
- tail light gaskets
- seam sealer all around the trunk area (shrinks and pulls away from the panels with age)
- cracks in the corners where the roof and hatch meet
- clogged sunroof drain tubes (if you have an Si)
Next would probably be upgrade interior and dash lighting due to their age.
If you want to know what type of bulbs you need, just ask. They are different even between trim levels.
If cats always land on their feet, and toast always lands butter side down, what would happen if you strapped burnt toast to the back of a cat and dropped it?
Tofu, when you're inevitably tired of it, let me know. Perfect winter beater.
Winter beater? Bite your tongue.
The CRX is a classic, and such a nice example of one (which is becoming extremely rare) should NOT be used as a winter beater. That's what your mustang is for.
Boooo! Those stock wheels look spectacular on there.
stock wheels gonna be kicking around still. will run around with HX wheels... see if the lowered rotational mass makes a difference on this thing. Ideally id like a set of 4x100 regamaster evos in 15"
oil pan has minor leaks. I replaced the valve cover gasket yesterday..... and turns out one of the corner of the gasket split open... spewing oil. fml.
Yes, sold the 323. I posted it up for sale on BCRWD for lols and someone actually bought it and appreciates the sort of thing. Went to a good home end of the day.
The car is in okay shape. some panels dont match along with the minor rust on one corner and another hole in the quarter panel.
Unlike the most other CRXes out there, this one im making it street car. No interior stripping like the most i've seen out there. I actually hunted around craigslist for the missing rear trim pieces! God it makes a difference in the cabin while driving (especially with a leaky exhaust)
edit// im surprised by the amount of pm's on dibs on the car if I sell it........... seriously guys? LOL

It's a Honda CRX with a bunch of rust and 350,000kms we're talking about, not an NSX.

No shit it's not an NSX. But as you can see, there is still a market for these cars. They still have a dedicated following, and people still on the hunt for decent examples. 2 minor rust spots is pretty damn good for an early 90's Honda
I'm just happy it's in the hands of someone who appreciates it.
There are plently of other cars out there much better suited for your winter beating needs.

There's a market for every car. It just comes down to price. Not to mention a quick craigslist search turned up a bunch of cheap, clean CRX SI's.

you do realize that you drive a v6 automatic mustang right?
go back and look at the history of the crx and what its all about. tofu's is actually a clean version of the shit boxes that are usually found out there. mileage also doesn't matter as long as its been maintained properly.

its in "okay" or diplomatically speaking, "presentable" shape.
I see a parts car out there for sale, a beaten white one with a B swap and a pretty tidy stock black one for 3k.
well of course I didnt pay 3k for mine.
This is the 5th EF CRX Si I have looked at.... and im glad I've picked it up.
