Junk the body kit homey. Don't ruin another crx that way. Please. I know you're going to say you like it and want to be different....blah blah blah. It's been said time and time again. Today's your lucky day. I'll help you out my friend.
Here's a good guide of what NOT to do to your crx:
-no spoilers of any kind
-no aftermarket taillights
-no body kits
-no aftermarket fenders
-no painting interior pieces
-no aftermarket shift knobs, colored floor mats, steering wheel covers, seat covers, etc.
-no wheels larger than 16''
-no ebay springs/coilovers
-don't lower the car more than 2''
-don't go shaving crap off your car

Stick to those rules, and you'll be good.

Actually, here's a few things you could do to your car with that money:
-some nice oem wheels: si's, gsr fat fives, gsr swirlies, del sol si's
-JDM front end
-Si seats
-front lip
-sohc vtec motor
-oem CF hood
-nice suspension
-bseries engine mounts/shift linkage

These are just a few things. I know i'm forgetting alot.

actually I think if he wants to put a body kit on he should. you should build a car the way you want, not what everyone thinks.

what's wrong with the ever popular Wings West kit? i personally don't like it though...too many people with it

[thefooshmeister]

ive got a spoiler on my crx but its jdm style so it doesnt look rediculous. i dont have a crx shift knob in mine i grabbed one from an integra to go with the motor. there are clean styled products and then there are "ricer" products. just do research and see how ppls cars are styled and make your own ideas from them.

i will admit..my windshield wipers are pretty ricey but at least my car has some balls to back it up.

Rice = gay... I agree with building your car the way you want it.. but for the sake of your pride, and the money you spend doing it, don't go retarded on alot of custom shit unless you make sure it matches everything else... like.. if you're painting interior parts, do it right.. there are certain times that painting interior parts helps to match the (if it's stock) blue interior with the black seats, if you know what I mean... sometimes you can't get all the parts exactly how you want them... but you can make them work.. I"ve had to do it before, doesn't look bad if you have a decent sense of "quiet style"

But plz.. for honda's sake.. PLEASE don't go all out with "JDM" parts and then have nothing to back it up... engine wise... that just gets all the other baztids on our asses... makin it worse for new honda owners to have that same sense of pride in our cars as we do.

+2 on the build what you want Idea tho.

Thanks for the comments. It's sitting stock engine wise right now with the d15b2 i think it is. Which is a 1.5, even though you prolly already know. Most likeyly i want to change the motor to mayb a b18 or b16 or sumthin close to it or either ill just build the one i have. I was on different sits yesterday and I was about to order a CAI, Grounding kit by apexi, and front and rear strut tower bars, poly urathane bushings. But im not sure what to do yet,Please give me some info on the motor idea....Also what i would need to complete the task if i switch to a different motor.Pics of car will be posted up at car domain in a couple of days i have one i need to scan it cus i dont have my digital camera anymore unless i borrow my friends...Thankss.. lata

depending on the price, you can get the block you have ground and bored to accept a 1.6 (D series) crank.. so you can put the 1.6 rotating assy in it, and then go with a MPFI and A6 or Z6 head, (Z6 is vtec), or a whole asstmt of other head swaps

the DOHC ZC is a direct bolt on for engine swaps into our cars

B16's are fast
B18 is ok too
There is a thread about B20's on here too, and it's the same as the Bseries swap in general

If you want something that will be running in a weekend, I"d tell you to go ZC tho... twin cams, 130ish HP, and MPFI, you can get about 250 out of the stock internals, from what I've heard, and the stock swap is only about 700 bux (sometimes you get the trans with it) then get a PM6 ECU

There's no grinding or boring required to swap a crank from one dseries to another. Direct swap.
I'd like to hear your definition of "fast". 15.0 in the 1/4 mile is not fast by any means. Yes, the B16 is a great replacement motor. My rex cut's 12.7's in the 1/4 mile, all motor, and I still think it's slow. I'm banking on 11's all motor by next year, and working down to 10's within the next 5 years.

ZC is a good motor if you blew your stock one. That's it. It's tough to get more than 200 whp out of one because of the aftermarket support. Boosting one is playing with fire because of the stock cast pistons, and high compression they yield compared to most stock motors.

Any fresh sohc d motor is a good candidate for some decent daily driven power if you boost it. Multi point is a must though. D16Y7, D16Z6, D15B2/7, D16Y8 or any combination thereof + boost won't upset you. Nothing crazy, but it's at least enough to toy with some lightly modded STi's, EVO's and mustangs.

The only way to make power out of a B16 is to boost it. It's an excellent motor for that. Other than that, don't waste your time. A user on honda-tech.com made a DVD where he extracted 200whp out of one, all-motor. Respectable, but that's about maxing it out.

B20's are trash. No telling how long yours will last. Mine lasted less than a year on lower-than-stock compression before I cracked a sleeve.

You're going to want at least a 1.8 for your EF. LS is good, especially if you toy around with the idea of adding a vtec head to it. A GSR motor would be prime. Even better if you decide to swap the 89mm crank in it.

H22 is a good candidate for a swap as well. Swap parts are much cheaper for the EF now-a-days. They suck for boost, but are great for all motor. There is alot of aftermarket support for them and plenty of people are cutting 10's, 11's, and 12's with this swap, all motor. Now, you can boost it, but be prepared to resleeve it. You'll have to resleeve it to use aftermarket lower-compression pistons. It has to do with the fiber-reinforced sleeves which are also found in the F20C.

My thoughts would be to save your money. Build a 1.8 for boost or allmotor down the road, possibly even an h22.

I'm biased towards all motor though. It's cheaper, and more respectable. Not to mention, more reliable and easier to tune. High compression, big cams, RMF header, 2.5 exhaust.....I just cream my pants every time I hear my car idle.....blub, blub, blub, blub. Enough to scare away even some of the local V-8 guys. They shit their pants when I pop the hood and they don't see a turbo or nitrous valves. The laptop in the passenger seat usually keys them in that something just aint right though....lol.
