My friend asked to speak to me and mentioned that another mutual friend had one sitting in his garage, and was looking to get rid of it. My wife mentioned we were looking to buy a CRX. That night, a friend called and my wife answered the phone. I made an offer, and I was all set to close the deal the next day. Turns out it had a B16, headers, and some rust, and a bunch of other mods. I thought it might be available so one day I knocked on the door and asked if it might be for sale. I came across one on my normal running route that was always parked in the same place in someone's driveway, a white 91 SI with a body kit. Why? Simple, it's a nice looking car, a popular target for swaps, sporty, fun to drive with good handling, and it was light (HP + Light weight = GO!). We went through the normal list of Civics, the Del Sol (I was intrigued, for a while), but we were both finally really drawn the the CRX. The next question was what year/model and what could we find on the used market and what exactly would we do with it? We have both grown to like Honda's (in the past I have not been a big fan) after having recently owned a few (Pilot for my wife and Civic SI for me) so we pretty much focused on them. We started to look around to see what might be fun to work with. Of course, this was now 2007, not 1971 and things have changed a bit. I worked at it with my Father and older brothers and I thought it would be a good way to get my son (more) interested in cars. The engine was from the junkyard, a Pontiac 350ci HO, I think from a firebird (see pics). The driving force was my fond childhood memories of performing an engine swap and restore on a 1955 Ford Thunderbird. My son and I were looking for a project car.

Rebuilt Type R Transmission with PPG 1-2 straight cut gearset, OS Giken LSDĬustom intercooler, radiator, remote mount oil filter, oil cooler, and supercharger oil cooler JDM K20A “type R” motor with Rotrex C30 Supercharger Everything is well documented and there are many records for a buyer, but here are the highlights. The last ten years of ownership and development has left almost nothing untouched, and there is truly too much to list. Or put a cage in it and have a silly fast time attack car. This car has a long resume of national event wins, top PAX finishes, national championships, and prosolo season championships. Not a lick of rust, and the car presents extremely well inside and out. The chassis has roughly 140,000 miles on it, and is a 2 owner car. The car is a 1991 DX, professionally painted World Rally Blue in 2009.
