Random Summer Shots

After getting home, I couldn't wait to take the car out and get some photos! here are some from that night.









Next we have the first Honda meet I went on. It was a drive up bogus basin road and then off to a place in downtown to take some photos.











I got bored one afternoon and decided to take some shots at the BSU parking garage. I used photoshop on a couple of these pics to make my car look a little better.









Only a few things put on it at this point. Ebay intake, ebay short shifter, my stereo system (Alpine deck, crappy sound storm amp, and 2 10' Infinity subs) and a power inverter for the laptop.

Trip Back

Here is some pics of when i went to my dad's place to go pick it up. All i saw before was the pictures he sent me (the ones in the last post).


The first sight

Before we could get out of town and go home, we had issues with the car. It kept sputtering and not starting for 15 or so minutes. Then it threw some codes (CEL 7, Throttle Positioning Sensor). We went to some part store and changed out some of the parts off the dizzy, but it was only a temp fix. The codes and sputtering came back. My dad happened to know a guy in town that had another d15 motor and we went there and bought his throttle body off it. The sputtering stopped, but we still threw the code.


Driving to Vancouver with bcool.


On our way back to boise


Kept throwing codes (CEL 7). Found out it tops out at 111mph too!


The Oregon rain got to it.

I finally had my dream car. I've wanted one since i was 6. When my parents got divorced, my dad got a 1st gen CRX and it always reminded me of him. It was fun when he came and picked me up in it and drove around fast. Since then I have always wanted one.

here was his CRX:


More pics in the near future!

Hello!

Hey, this is spastik and you are viewing my build blog for my 1988 Honda CRX DX.

lets first start out with some photos of when i first saw her. i'll slowly put up more pictures and things done to her.








My dad got this car from a co-worker's friend. It was left on his property by a kid that drove out there, got out of the car and killed himself. The guy just wanted it off his property and my dad got it for around $600. I found out that he had a CRX and I sold my 1990 Mazda Protege to buy it.
