A year and a half ago I purchased this car and my plans that i have for this were suppose to happen last winter but a month before i was going to take it off the road I unfortunatly got rearended by another car and all of my money went into repairing the damages. Sooo this is what im starting with. Its a 1990 Honda CRX Si that i bought from a nyspeed member. Many of you have problably seen the car because I have been at S&R Cruise Night every wednesday. Current mods are tokico springs and struts, Megan Racing exhaust (has to go), DC Sport Header, Enkei RPF1’s and a couple of other bolt-ons. My plans for this over this winter will be simple, a 2nd Gen obd1 B16a, paint the engine bay, wire tuck, and some bolt-ons.

Future plans that I have are: PIC Performance Coilovers, Paint the whole car, SiR Front Conversion, Greddy SP2 Cat-Back, Header, Cams and some other things that I am failing to mention. It will be a slow project that will problably take me a couple years because this is my DD in the summer and i go to school full time.

OK, now that photo bucket is working, this is what im starting with, i will update pictures of how it looks, as of yesterday, later tonight.
