Only bit of damage on the car that bugs me...looks like somebody tried to jimmy the lock at some point... I'll get it fixed soon enough.

Working on her out in the employee parking lot today, because they lock up the shop on Sundays... so can't get inside to work. No big deal.

Almost ready to start up.

Very nice. Also makes me realize just how low my car is... Hope she fires right up. That damage would bug the crap out of me too, I dont like any place that I think water can get into..

Congrats on the find. I'm pretty sensitive to an OEM CRX interior so I find the door panel and seat rip worse than the door. I dunno thats just me. It definitely sits higher than what i'm used to, like Frodo said. Keep her clean and she'll be good to go.

The interior I can fix myself... already emailed a guy about a seat back... and I can stitch on a new matching X for the door panel... no big deal....
but body work is time consuming and I don't have the equipment to do it myself.
I do work with a guy who does great PDR work (a perk of working for a Lexus dealership)... he can pull the dent out for me... I'll just have to get my painter to paint it for me (our PDR guy may be the best in dallas, but our painters are on crack).



Trying to decide how low to go... deffinately needs to be streetable... I have pretty high speed bumps to go over in the employee parking lot.... of course, the end decision will be based mostly on the rims I end up choosing....... and that's going to be a while off, because I have 3 sets of good tires for the stock Si rims (that I haven't put back on yet).

ED9? looks like a CRX to me :dunno:
























:D

there is ed9 crx's but i believe they are edm's..but this bad boy sure does look like a regular old rex to me..but on that note its a very sweet lookin car..what damage pictured aint shit and i consider that car a great find compared to what is out on the road or for sale nowadays..i see the pry marks around the handle..that shit kinda derived from NY,NJ a few yrs ago..then ppl eventually realized it was soo much easier to shave keys. i dunno bout u but i do like white crx's..10-4 Fodo? =) sweet ride keep us updated

Ummmmmm, ED is the chassis code for USDM 88-91 civic/crx's. EF is the chassis code for JDM civic/crx's, which is why you hear a lot of people call 88-91's EF's. Haven't you ever looked at your VIN number? ED9 is a 1.6 liter crx (aka si) ED8 is a 1.5l crx (aka dx, hf). Theres nothing wrong with what this guy said, he just gave the chassis code.

I looked into my VIN number and found out that my car was one of the first (number 200) in the crx production line in 1991.

Haha..shes not that pretty anymore.. and apparently only capable of 16's

Hella about says it.

And yeah we drive ED's not ef's, people just call em that.

thinkin the same thing :lol:

Yes yes.... ED = USA, EE = European, EF = JDM/Asia

Picked up a good tranny yesterday... just have to find the time to install it.
New exhaust should be here wednesday or thursday.... my muffler has practically fallen off :icon16: no big deal.... also expecting my energy suspension bushings sometime this week... will be glad to fix the suspension looseness.
I want to go ahead and lower her, but the wife will kill me if I spend anymore money right now. :loser:

i want a car to work on :(

the only thing i have planned is changing differential and transfer case fluids...i need a car :(

I know what you mean.... my 97 was getting far too expensive to tinker with.... nearly $3,000 in suspension already, $2,000 in stereo and video equipment, the body looked the way I wanted to keep it...... about the only thing left was a $5k-$7k swap.....

So it's good to have something that I can afford to tinker with again, and that I enjoy driving more :evillol:

I really like the white. I'd still prefer something a little newer though especially for commuting. Driving a crx 40 miles to work and then 40 miles home all highway tended to get a little intense. Maybe it had something to do with the engine rpm being up so high to make power in the small displacement engine. It's funny how driving a sedan or an SUV will alleviate tendencies of ricey driving... haha.

Killa, GL with that ride. What kind of exhaust did you get? Are you going to get a header or use the old stock piece?

I bought some no name Tsudo crap exhaust for $200 off ebay... I've heard good things from people and bad things from people about it... but I figure even if it sounds like shit, the piping is all 2 1/2" stainless steel and I can weld on my own muffler to make it sound better.
Using the stock exhaust manifold and catalytic converter for now... going to keep that there until after I do an engine swap.......... I wouldn't even have bought this exhaust right now if my muffler hadn't fallen off the first time I went down the road. :rofl:

Also, to help with all the highway driving I do, I'm going to be looking around for a 90-91 Civic EX to get the cruise control off of and transfer it to my CRX..... so if anyone hears about someone parting out one, let me know... I have a long list of parts.

Haha, just about one of the hardest parts cars to find and if you do you will probably see the front hub/ knuckles gone since people want that shit like crazy for big brake upgrades.

If you do get a hold of the cruise assembly, maybe do a write up on the install as im really interested in cruise myself.

Not interested in it for the brakes though :P my brakes seem like they work just fine.

Cruise control isn't terribly complicated to install, since for the most part (before 2001 model year) honda used a mostly stand alone cruise control system....... but there's quite a long parts list.

Got the Tsudo exhaust put on today... as for my review... the actual "muffler" is freakin HUGE! I mean, I know I'm a ricer at heart, but I'm pushing it. 5" tip and all. As far as sound, it's not terrible... it is pretty loud... but as far as how you would expect a $200 ebay bought exhaust to sound, it's not too bad. The piping and welding on the pipes is great. it's all very solid and well built.
I'll take pictures tomorrow or Sunday.
