Hello,
I have been trolling around for awhile now. I don't post very often., but I just got my hands on a new EF so I figured I'd start a thread. I'll try to keep this thing updated. I don't claim to know alot about cars so I'm sure I'll be messing up alot, but I think I'm capable of this. I'll have more and better pics up later.
I picked up the Gray 1991 DX automatic for $600. Body has about 160k on it and there is almost no rust, everything in the car is intact save the painted dash..... The tranmission is ... let's just say broken, but it matters not as this car is just a body.
The Red 1989 DX manual (JDM OBD0 B16a) I picked up for $800. The bad, the seems welds along the bottom are rusted and soft, the interior is gutted with only two GSR leather seats left (torn up too..), the dash is painted (sigh*), it has some kind of $5 fiberglass kit on it, the swap wiring is horrid and unsafe looking, the tranmission is an S1. The good, the B16 is very strong, it has all the manual parts for the 1991, came with a virgin ECU and VAFCII, hassport mounts in excellent shape, thats about all I can think of (worth the money IMO). Oh, and the fog lights on the front are real Stanely OEM CRX with the Honda mounting brackets and wiring intact (don't plan on using).
Here is a few pics of my garage in Carnegie Pa (5 mins south of Pittsburgh). Daily driver 1992 CB7 EX manual sedan at bottom Gray 1991 DX in background.
Feed back is appreciated.
