This is my first CRX. Ive never owned a honda that wasnt a 98 and up. I like driving the CRX though, its like a giant go-kart. Working on hondas and racing them is sort of a family affair with my family. This is a car for everyone to drive, my brother and father and I. I have a 98 integra GS-R, my brothers got an LS/Vtec Turbo integra and now weve got this car. And thanks for the nice comments, wait till we get some coilovers and some sprint harts on her! I cant wait to get it to the body shop for paint!

Wow. I forgot all about you guys here at HondaSwap.com and I apologize for that. Here are some pictures of the almost finished project.
She went from this
Heres some pics from a few days after we dropped her off at our buddies paint shop.
Here she is after they layed some paint.
We also added on a carbon fiber sunroof, Momo Seats and a MoMo wheel and hub.
And here she is sitting pretty.
Heres an engine bay shot, we had a local shop, LHT Performance make us an intake, 3 inch, aluminum, and K&N filter.

Thanks DoubleO. She will eventually get a carbon fiber SiR hood, we dont like the hood popped either. She really only needs a few finishing touches. Thinking about some te37's or some sprintharts, or some advans, something nice. Pretty much the wheels and the hood are the only thing missing. Im gonna throw on a camber kit for front and rear because the wheels really cambered in when we dropped her. But the D2 coils are riding nicely, a little stiff, but still a good ride.

Definately some lower profile tires, the wheels on there now are a set my buddy let me borrow until we pick up something proper for her to ride on. And shes also not just a garage queen, shes getting tuned on spray very shortly.

Heres a walkaround of the CRX from a meet a few weeks ago here in Tampa. You can see the CRX at around 4:00 minutes into the video.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. This project took a few months. The paint and body work only took about a week, more or less, dont remember exactly. The time consuming part was waiting on parts. Ill tell you right now, Full Race, takes forever to ship orders. Were using a Full Race Radiator and were running Full Race Tractions bars, they took about 5-6 weeks. I called and made the order, they told me they had the radiator in stock, but the traction bars are made to order. I pay them, then check order status, see nothing has moved, called them, and they straight lied to me, they didnt have any radiators in stock. Full Race gets a thumbs down from me regarding their customer service. Products were great, service, not so much.

And another little tidbit of info ill leave you guys, Dont bother with the cable to hydro conversion. Either use a ys1 cable tranny, or make an OEM hydraulic set up work on your car. I dont like the way the clutch engages. I think Im going to pick up a Hydro set up from an EG or something and fab it to work in the CRX. I know that will feel much better.
did someone say te-37's?
