here is my si ! i need to take some more pics but here is one to start with. I have owned 3 crx's before this so i am not new to the honda world. I swapped a b16 into one of my crx's and done endless other mods to the engine/body/suspension/interior of all my crx's. Just wanted to get something with more luxury and something that was built in this decade. So here I am !! let me know what you think.

degasisj,


I am the other way around, I have always had the civic hatch (4 of them in all), and my EP3 is my first Si hatch...but I've ALWAYs pined for the CRX... (I had a first smooch in one, among other things).

Now that I autocross, I see my friend with his $1700 CRX getting fastest-time-of-day... but he trailers it, and I've got to have something I can take to work and back every day...and something I can rely on to protect me from deisel fumes (my kryptonite), and something I can rely on 5-10 yrs from now... so I stick to the new EP3, and buy coilovers that cost more than a CRX.

Thats my CRX rant. Welcome. :)

hmmm, never been a member here before ... you may have seen me on superhonda. maybe there was someone else with a white si and a apc lip kit ??? but his car must have been sweet too if you all remember it still and of course i am a bit partial to mine so i would think something similar would be hot as well.

ugh, did I waste my CRX-pining story on somebody who's f'ing with us?

well , lets put it a different way then ... i was thrown off by the post that mentioned 2 different rims on the car ... but i did just buy the car and it was already fixed this way ... didnt exactly want to come right out and say that if i didnt have to ... i am not the guy that buys it and doesnt know wtf he has or what to do with it ... i just sold my last crx a few months ago and wanted to go newer and this is what i ended up with ... i live in phoenix and flew to north dakota to pick this up and drove it home ... i bought it on ebay and that could have been another place you saw the pic.

Well, in that case, alls good with you, you will like the EP...its got a Zen balance of performance and comfort and reliability you wont find anywhere under 19K.

Hey man no shame in that. That's better than what we thought you were doing: trying to pass somebody else's car off as your own.

I have to ask for Blastech and myself though...got any pictures of the CRX?:D

in order of my crx's my first and last we the most plain "looking"
my first one had NO mods , then i sold it for a junker one that i completely rebuilt ... body kit, b16, siR hood, rota wheels etc ... but my last one was a sleeper ... lowered 1" via pro kit, poly bushing kit , front and rear strut tower braces, stock rims, b16 w/ type r valve cover, CAI, short shifter, stock rims and exhaust.

i am trying to dig up some pics of my 2nd one with the body kit and stuff , if i can find one it will be a real photo and i will scan it and throw it up here for you to see.

i think his car looks familiar because i remember a post that someone had found that car on ebay and was showing how the apc kit looked...but i'm not sure if the old owner was a member, i just remember the car from that post.

for all you crx lovers here is my ex baby :( sniff sniff she was quite the sleeper. stock outside except exhaust and my 2000 si rims, but under the hood i had a type r engine with head work and cams. that thing was super fast(low 13's on street tires to be exact). some kid knocked on my door one day said he saw the car sitting outside for a few months(didnt drive it much when i first got the ep) he asked if i wanted to sell it i was like not really he's like what's it got done to it, blah blah i told him he's like follow me to the bank i have about 6k i can spend. i was like here's the title :( i kick myself every day for doin that. i didn't have that much into the car with including the cost of the car, so i didnt really loose money just my baby.

yeah, like i said i didnt have nearly that much money into it and it was just sitting, help me out here i'm tryin to make myself feel better. :( oh well that 6k went in the bank and bought some nice ep parts :) believe it or not i bought the car stock from some old guy who thought the engine was blown for $300. clean inside and out 89k miles. needless to say all that was wrong with it was the plugs were in the wrong firing order. ran like a top. sold the drivetrain and bought the type r from a friend(real good deal). i think i had about 3k tops into that car.

yes, very sad....i had to get rid of my second crx because of some credit card debt i had accumulated while building the car. seemed kinda ironic to sell the car to pay for all the parts i had bought on my credit card. needless to say, i was young and stupid then.

nope i sold that car locally. i am sure there is like 6000 crx si's with 2000 si rims on them. that pic was taken in my driveway about a year ago right b4 she went bye bye :(

here's a pic from my bedroom window of what my driveway used to look like

pic of the engine on my trailer, i had a b16 manifold on it cause it came with none, and i didnt want shit to get inside the engine.

and now how my driveway looks without my crx :(
