[BORICUACIVICR]

After doing some work on her....(that's my son doing all the work himself) I helped a little.

..still not finished, next will be paint and body as soon as I find new fenders and a new 91’ front bumper.

Then the interior will get a makeover with some racing seats, NRG quick release, roll cage, install the new a/c unit, carpet, etc…

I’m very proud of my son he’s done a great job restoring it and doing it right, I think he’s earned it!

[spank]

looks clean to me good job

[[3000gt20s]]

:goodjob:good shit.....

[oreign]

adopt me. wtf

[Genji-Sama]

adopt me. wtf

LOlol

Props to ur son, i'm really likin that CRex :goodjob:

[CaTcH22]

Very nice project guys. I'm glad to see the next gen still interested in working on something other than video games and the internet. :goodjob:

[carbon_crash]

Stock motor?

[d-man478]

Very nice. It's nothing like father/son duos building a car. My dad and I just started building a 240. Its great bonding time.

[gsrcivic]

very nice wish my dad woulda gave me a crx si

[quickdodge®]

This is beautiful, man. Love the car. I have a feeling, though, that I won't so much after your "to-do" list is done. Would not like to see the bumper swap, racing seats and roll cage going in there. That'll take away from the "restoring" of it.

Right now, the car is perfect. Props, dude. Later, QD.

[yerrow]

looks great, leave it just like it is

[Echonova]

I think I saw this today going down the road.



Makes me miss my old CRX... Never should have sold that car.:(

[Bacon]

Stance Mindsets?

[Crazydelsol]

Looks really good now saw it in person good job

[Echonova]

Stance Mindsets?Look like Konig Rollers to me.

[jdm eg6]

my little brother is 16 years old and he cant even change a tire all he does is play video games.. props to your son for working on it. keep up the good work

[Bacon]

Look like Konig Rollers to me.

Looks awesome regardless.

Wow, that's a really nice CRX.
Nice work.

[Mr. Clean]

beautiful.

[Scotsman]

adopt me. wtfx2 , car looks frickin awesome

[cactusEG]

I like everything I see. On the right track

[BORICUACIVICR]

Thanks for all the props, I am really proud of my son's work and so is he. Although we have our to do list, that may change as it did from the beginning of the restoration.
The wheels are Konig Roller 15X7.5 +32 wrapped on Toyo Proxes4 195/50R 15 (thought about going with 205’s but Ethan was against it because he was afraid they would rub).
Again we appreciate all the good and positive things said here, and all the suggestions. We’ll be at wild Bills next week to take her out on her first meet after the restoration.
Thanks again.

LOL..Actually his PS3 crashed about 1 1/2 yrs. and I refused to get him a new one! Even though all he really did was play car games and spent most of the time fixing them and changing their set up to make them go faster, I don't think he really actually played the game just to play, it was more to fix the cars in it! lol...

[BORICUACIVICR]

Stock motor?

Yes, it still has the original D16a6, with a Megan Racing header, SS N1 catback exhaust, cold air intake. The engine runs very strong and has pleanty of power, I didn't want to really do alot to it as far as power adder because he is still 16 and has alot to learn about driving, he don't need a super fast car nor do I think it's wise. But it still a quick little car....

[dc2killa]

So simple and clean!

[BORICUACIVICR]

BTW: He became a member here a few month ago, his user name is JDMef8Kid, I think im just going to let him post about his car from now on...lol...

[Vteckidd]

paint and body? that think is mint lol

looks great. +1 on the leaving it alone, no racing seats, no cage. Rewrap the stock SI seats

[silversol]

Looks great!

[Bacon]

I wish my son was old enough to work on cars with me let alone his own car.

at least he got an idea how to work on cars but on the other hand my brother is just a lazy ass

Smart move. I had a bone stock '84 318i when I was 16 that I got running when I was 15. Learned a lot about cars with the hands on, and it was plenty quick enough for me. I beat the hell out of it and didn't get in trouble. Progressively got faster cars the older and mature I got. Nothing wrong with 75whp at 16 years old. lol

[-EnVus-]

Looks good id invest in a good alarm system also Asap!

[Black4DrEK]

Thats nice. Remind me of myself. Doing my own shit at a young age!! Awesome!


Also OMFG, I seriously just ordered these wheels 15 minutes ago!!! Konig Roller 16x7.5 haha wtf. nice!

[boostedb16]

i freaking love those wheels but its looking like there going to be the next rota slipstream. this is the third set i have seen on here this week or at least they look the same. i like them either way.

[Black4DrEK]

^

they are basically the same as XXR 521's.]

I like them tho.. Will have mine mounted next week.. hah. hell for 540, I had to. It was that or Konig Daylite Black with yellow pin stripe! but yea went ahead and did polished look


Actually just found them for $490, I need to cancel my order tomorrow. Save me 50 bucks or so. damn.




Anyways CRX is CLEAN! keep it up.

[Sinfix_15]

great looking CRX, like everything about it. very good taste in your direction with that vehicle.

[GlennsEK]

Looks great ! Mad props to your son

[firby911]

[cpearson]

Looks great! Excellent quality time spent between you and your son too, I would imagine. Mine are only 2 and 4 at the moment, but they love getting out and helping me work on anything.

[Sammich]

gorgeous...i didnt read through the thread, but i'm assuming thats an ebay catback...i have one on my DB

[pinedo88]

wow i love it. makes me want another rex.

[h22 jones]

My son has his own room at the shop and plays with all my tools trying to help .He has since he could walk. He is five now. Hell when i was threwing a quick paint job on the si i was letting him help us sand the primer. I would put a piece of 400 sticky da sand paper on his hand and let him sand away . About a week after i painted it and put it back together it was in the shop and we was working on it . My dad says were is ashton i was like i dont know some were around here . He had picked up a piece of used 80 grit and was sanding the newly painted quarter for daddy lmao. I said ashotn what are you doing boy . Im sanding daddy arnt you prowed of me . I couldnt do anything but smile lol. I dont like the clear i used when i cleared the si but i dont want to repaint it because the scratches will always remind me about when my son helped me sand lol.

[thecuborican]

i think i saw that white teg for sale in CL not to long ago.. do u still have it? the turbo set up is rare i don't see it in too many hondas

[Drummerboy]

That's not your 16yo sons son, is it?

[BORICUACIVICR]

i think i saw that white teg for sale in CL not to long ago.. do u still have it? the turbo set up is rare i don't see it in too many hondas

Yeah, he actually ended up traiding the car, it wasn't practical for him to keep at the moment because he has 2 small kids. So he traided for a 4dr. Civic. and yes that teg had a top mount turbo set up, w/a Super T70, it was very fast.

[BORICUACIVICR]

That's not your 16yo sons son, is it?

NO! that is my oldest 20y/o son, son... I would kill my 16y/o son if he had a kid, I would run him over with the CRX!

[KevinT707]

I haven't seen a clean/good condition CRX in the local area in awhile, good job!

Here's mine:

Nice man, very nice... Question tho, why is your hood stiking up on the back? it's like it's lifted??? just wondering...

[uho]

car looks great so far can't wait to see more progress. and man you are the coolest dad I wish my dad was into cars like me n helped me get goodies n stuff for my car. lol

[Drummerboy]

Nice man, very nice... Question tho, why is your hood stiking up on the back? it's like it's lifted??? just wondering...

It's hood spacers. Some get them to fix clearance issues with a motor swap, some say it draws more air through. I don't think it does though.

and good call on the grandkids. I didn't want to offend anyone if that was your 16yo's but I know I'd kill my kid, lol.

[gottraction?]
