Time for a change. I am putting my 1990 CRX SI up for sale. This car is an absolute RIOT. From the moment you climb in you want to hammer this car and it just keeps you smiling from ear to ear. The brakes are eyepopping, the shifter is solid and short. The clutch throw is short and quick, the engine revs FAST with the 7lb flywheel. I have even clocked 37mpg on the highway. It drops to 31mpg if you run 90 everywhere like the car wants you too. This is not for those lacking self restraint. Yes it drags S2000s down the straightway at TGPR, will surprise a bunch of V8 cars.
As the car sits right now.
The car has the following:
JDM B18C with the usual miles, 60K or less probably. I have put about 20K on it since I installed it. Engine has the following inside:
Delta Cams, ITR intake valves and springs, New water pump, timing belt, Fresh Valve job and the head was decked .035. Pistons and rings, bearings, etc are stock Honda parts. I removed them and checked them out to verify condition. Block and cylinder head has been smoothed inside for proper oil return and flow. New upper and lower radiator hoses, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc. Header is a PLM equal length, Intake is a custom, insulated 3in aluminum with a velocity stack and an oiled cotton Air filter. The engine is tuned with a Hondata S300 on a P28 chassis. The GSR two stage intake works as stock. Custom 3in stainless exhaust from the header back to the biggest Magnaflow muffler that will fit under the car. Its quiet at idle and cruise without the retarded noise most non stock exhaust make. I like quiet Hondas.
Trans is a Hydro GSR transmission with a new Exedy ITR clutch and Fidanza Aluminum flywheel. Yes the engine revs fast and will stall if you don't get a hang of the clutch. Clutch throw is about 4inches to the stop on the floor. Its awesome. The Shifter has been modified to raise the knob closer to the steering wheel and the bottom has been lengthened to make the throw shorter. Its 45% shorter than stock, but you have excellent feel. The shifter bushings have been replaced with poly components. This shifter feels amazing. I am using a 06SI weighted shift knob.
The brakes are Accord Wagon calipers machined to fit the 92 Integra uprights. The rotors are 11in Prelude Si rotors redrilled for 4x100. I am currently running Hawk HPS pads, but have some HP+ pads that I have used on track before. Stainless lines all around
Front uprights are DA INtegra with two lbs shaved , new Japanese wheel bearings repacked with NEO synthetic grease, New Moog Balljoints. The front uppers are Skunk 2 adjustable pieces. They haven't slipped.
Suspension is Koni Yellows ground control sleeves, currently the car is running on 200lb front springs, and 275 rear springs. I have run as high as 500lb rear springs. I can install whatever springs you would like when you buy the car. I am running the stock front sway bar and a Suspension Techniques 22mm Rear Bar. There are poly bushings in the rear lower control arms and front lower control arms. Rear uppers are adjustable as are the fronts.
Car is rolling on 15x7 Kosei K1s and Dunlop ZIIs.
Chassis has numerous modifications and stiffening.
I have had the seats recovered with the skin of a thousand baby Naugas and tweed inserts. No more ripped seats. The steering wheel is Sparco, The stereo is Pioneer with four speakers.
The battery weighs 12lbs and is the size of a few packs of cigarettes. The battery is mounted in the trunk and I used an aluminum cable to run the power back up front. I have some new NRG floor mats, they suck, I also have some OE CRX floor mats but they are pretty faded. I wondered about re-dying them. The car has a nice carpet trunk liner (aftermarket).
I have rubbed the paint to death and its shiny, but you can tell multiple idiots have tried to re-spray portions of the car. I constantly get compliments, but the paint looks like it has seen 20 years of life. There are lots of chips and dings, some orange peel, etc. I try to keep it polished and waxed with Meguier's products, but it is not a show car.
The car is set at a streetable ride height, which is by no mean "stanced". That I will leave to the future owner should you choose.
I have all of the AC components, just haven't gotten around to putting them back on. I have a Compressor bracket to adapt the d-series compressor to the B motor. It will clear the front crossmember, the condenser is still in place.
I just installed a new DA Integra radiator and the oil change was done about 1500 miles ago. I have used 5w30 Synthetic since I built the engine.
IF you want all the pics of the build process they can be see here:

CRX Build thread
Car weighs 2400lbs with me as the fat driver. I can set the corner weights again based on the new owners setup.
I am such a nerd that I have my mileage notebook in the car with every fill up and oil change, engine install, etc recorded since day one. Plus I have all the receipts for the future owner. Chassis has 193K or so on it.
Price is $8000 or best offer.
