Go the old school CRX!

2008 Update: All 3 CR-Xs have been pretty much sitting unloved in the drive way for a couple of years - but I have a new CR-X!

Also a mark1 ('86 I think), and is currently serving as both my daily drive and my hillclimb car. It's had a DOHC brown-top swap, a black-top dizzy/ECU and intake fitted, Bilsteins from the Black CR-X on the front, and a couple of strut braces. It was susposed to be an easy WOF, but after a few weeks of minor dramas it's now road legal.

This shall become known as the White CR-X

The Purple Car
My first CR-X. A '84 JDM 1.5, injected with full electronic dash and trip computer, 5-speed and sunroof. Currently sitting in my garage waiting for either an engine swap / new bearings, or a DOHC swap. Either this or the Silver CR-X are destined for a turbo swap that I've collected most of the parts for.

The Black Car
My second CR-X. Originally bought as a doner to for a DOHC swap for the Purple CR-X. An '84 JDM Si DOHC ZC, with Bilsteins & stripped out for racing. But has been sitting un-WOFed since 2006.

The Silver Car

My third CR-X. A '86 JDM Si: ZC, power steering, a/c, elec sunroof, etc. I replaced the panels and painted them and used it as a nice daily driver, but it's now sitting unloved and needing some rust repairs to be road legal again.

Here's what it should look like:

JDM '86 CR-X Si (Japanese Si's are ZC powered).

and for the wish list...

Mugen tuned version of the mark 1 CR-X. As well as the body kit Mugen made many performance parts for these Hondas.

Old Stuff

April 2004:

The silver car is now road legal and serving as my daily car a few yaers ago, thought still abit tatty in places and needs that Civic headlight replaced with a CRX one. It's a damn nice little daily car with power steer etc, although far softer than the black car...

The black car was been entered in a few local hillclimbs & sprints, and managed 16.81 in the quarters. It's was under constant slow development into a club racer.

I did ok in the last hill-climb, beating some faster cars and drivers.

And the poor old purple car is gathering dust and donating increasing amounts of its vitals to keep the others alive...
