    Default My Son's 89' CRX Si...she's almost done....

    Here is my son's 89' CRX Si I gave him for his 16th Bday.

    This is what it looks like when we got her...




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











    ...and getting her some new parts...






    ...and after putting on her new shoes and getting aligned...

    This is what it looks like now….





    ..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!
    Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the peoples I had to kill because they pissed me off,

    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.

    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.

    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.
    Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the peoples I had to kill because they pissed me off,

    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...

    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

    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.
