hello all. i drive a 91 CRX hf. current mods include: 94 ex D16z6 mated to a 88 CRX dx manual tranny, managed with 91 Si ECU, rpm activated switch for the Vtec, fuel enrichment via Apexi super afcII (its not the best way for vtec operation, but it works great). 88 dx front knuckles, 91 SiR rear disk brake conversion. D2 coilover kit (32 way damper, adj hieght, adj spring preload) aftermarket rear antisway bar (not sure brand, bought it from a guy on my home forum), Si front sway bar.

Ive got big plans for the rex. Gonna do a full restoration. Disassembling the entire car, gonna build from the ground up. Plan on swappin a K20z3. Gonna start with autocross to get it set up then try my hand at time trials.

I know its rough but please dont hate, it already breaks my heart every time i see it.

the new color will be a slightly dark grey. the wheels are going to be the same...kinda. the wheels you see are kinda beat up. theyve been curbed a few times, two have the paint kinda eatin because of both the drums leaked before i swaped to disks, and the pass side front has brake dust baked on when one of my calipers failed last year. im gonna get another set of these wheels. Use the ones you see for everyday after i get them sand blasted and repainted, and the new set for race and show days.

the wheel is a cheapy from autozone, and the horn button was a fathers day gift from my 13 month old daughter...she loves her daddy, lol.

oem civic si rear anti-swap bar, after market rear bar for EF chassis not sure the brand, i bought it from a guy off a local racing forum. the one on the far right is an oem civic si front bar. its gotta be stiffer than the stock hf bar.

NEW SEXIFICATION. I love these things. Seperate ride hieght and sping preload, plus 32 way damper. for the price, you get a hell of a kit. i drove a buddies 92 integra that had these. it handled great and it was fun playing with damper settings.

Hey, everyone has to start somewhere.

I didn't have any rust, but my car was pretty smashed in the front when I got it.
