This is my sleeper. When I bought it, it looked horrible. I didn't care because I wanted to build a sleeper. Below are pictures on how it looked when I got it and on page three of my cardomain page has current pictures on how it looks.

My crx the day I got it.

First things I did to it was take the engine and transmission (d16y8 with a zc/si hybrid tranny) out of my hatch and put it into the crx, switch the crx from dpfi to mpfi, switch out the ugly door panels with a set I had laying around, and take out the awful seats and seat covers and put in a set of si seats. Install short throw shifter, put in a new clutch and flywheel, and switch the fuel pump from the hatch to the crx.

After a couple of months I decided that it was time to go turbo. The turbo I installed was a rhb5 turbo off of a first generation ford probe.

you can still go body kit but keep it sleeper, like going with a JDM front bumper, or a MUGEN front bumper, or a MUGEN front lip, or somthing of that nature and it will keep it stylish yet sleeper like. Come check out my Red EG. -cheers
