It's a mix of a high mileager (had a mix of 40-42mpg on trip back) and autox/trackable car. Suspension/brakes upgraded (sways/endlinks/koni/GC), bushings all ES, 1.6l DOHC swap for a whopping 115whp

I've just always had my eye out for a white crx... finally found the right mix of parts/price/no rust.

No winter duty for this car anymore, its getting a going over to rust proof it and being kept as a second nice weather car. I want it to last a long time and in the midwest that means never taking it out during the winter. The only reason it was in the crappy salt/snow on the way back was I fly out for it and didn't have any choice.

 

Nice. A clean white or black CRX of that generation is about the only FWD car I would ever buy to drive for myself. I had a beat-up old DX back when I used to have an 85 mile commute (each way).

 

It's alive

 

Hows it run?

 

You mean how'ed it run. This is a british roadster, it might have been running at the time of the picture but it certainly wont start right now without the carbs being adjusted or the electrics being replaced.

 

Thankfully it isn't a British car . Started right up after I stood and stared at it/took picture. Also started up after another stop while out. I did spend some time getting idle stop and idle mixture dialed in... I know nothing about carbs though

Oh and it has alot more ooomph and sounds fantastic.

 

so the LSx swap was successful then?
excellent

 

I'm pretty sure he means it isn't British because it's Italian.

Without the front bumper and with the nose so high, it kinda reminds me of an Amphicar.

 

Shhhh.... I need to drive the gas level down before i can partially uninstall the gas tank to get at the last rear bumper bolt. Then its cut spring time to lower it back down.

 

 

dude
that looks fantastic

1" drop and you have perfection

 

and it was a miata...

 

I think it's awesome. Are you really cutting the springs? lol

 

I am... without rigging up some crazy hybrid setup that no one has done... its cutting springs time.

Even the aftermarket 'lowering/performance springs' for the cars... come with a "we'll cut them in advance for you if you removed bumpers" note. Probably has something to do with the general age of the owners....

 

going a tiny bit lower is going to make all the difference

 

Next up, Panasports.

 

lovin it

 

Ballin dude. You gave me a bulge.

 

Oh and it had a fellow Pininfarina friend at the cruise night.


It was IMMACULATE. I didn't see a spec of dirt anywhere. The engine itself looked like brand new raw aluminum. Was pretty ridiculous.

 

Which cruise night were you at?
