Im selling my 1987 Silver Honda CRX Si(BONE STOCK except for a few things), because I need room in my drive way. Sadly, I recently bought a family car so this one has to go. It has approximately 180,000 miles on the engine and body. Oil changes every 3,000-4,000 miles, the timing belt and water pump were approximately done 2 years ago. Valve cover gasket and grommets were also done about the same time, but now need replacing. It's dripping a little oil but not too bad. The oil level on the dipstick is still on the top dot. Might be good to do an oil change soon, but when you smell the oil on the dipstick it doesn’t smell bad at all- meaning its not burning anything. There’s oxidation between the sunroof and windshield and on the hood of the engine bay. The rear driver’s side quarter panel has damage, the previous owner said one day at a parking lot he saw a dent and decided to do the bondo work himself. I'd give the job 3 out of 10 just for the effort. Idle gets a little rough with the headlights on, maybe just needs a new battery. And I bought the car with the A/C not working. THAT IS ALL THAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I've recently had the clutch replaced with an OEM one maybe less than 1,000 miles ago. It was from AutoZone with the life time warranty. I've done tasteful mods to the car and I can explain all of them to you. I've used the car as a commuter since it gives me about 37 miles to the gallon!! I commuted everyday from Vallejo to Sacramento(school), Vallejo to San Rafael(work) and lastly Vallejo to San Francisco(work). I would say its 95% highway miles.

I lowered the car a few years ago using Tokico Blue Gas Shocks and Monkeyz-Tek rear coil-overs with 350 lbs grade. The great thing about this car is that you will have the option over lowering or raising it since im using COIL OVERS. Not lowering springs, which only give you one height option and tends to sag over time. About my car again, all you need to do to raise the front is using a socket wrench and turning TWO BOLTS TOTAL; one for each side. This car uses torsion bars for the front suspension, not springs like the newer cars. I still have the stock torsion bars installed since I didn’t want my ride/commute to be too harsh for me. The rear coil-overs are very stiff though and you do feel it when driving on rougher roads. To adjust the coil-overs you need to raise the car and use the special wrench that came with it. You are able to lower the car from 0 inches to 3 inches. The coil-overs were specifically made for CRX’s from 1984-1987. A lot of people on here might try to sell you something similar but they are probably for a Miata or something. They have also been discontinued, I think when i purchased mine, it was in the last group buy for them. SO THESE COIL OVERS ARE VERY RARE AND LIMITED. I have it lowered at about 1 1/4 inches all around. There’s a California Law that states how low you can lower your car without it being "illegal," they measure it by measuring how low the center of your car's headlight is. Mine is at it's absolute lowest. You can make it lower if you want but for me i didn't want to give any police officer to question what I’ve done to the car. I also had the fenders rolled incase you wanted to put in some after market rims with different specs.



I also installed a front upper strut bar and B-Pillar bar to improve the rigidity. They were made by JEM Motorsports and actually the B-Pillar bar was a prototype. But the actual ones that JEM Motorsports sells are exactly the same. I also have a faux carbon fiber cover on mine. It looks a lot better than the plain shiny steel ones.









I installed a Grant GT steering wheel and actually it makes driving this car feel like a go-kart. Which is a plus I have to say. Also, I wanted to have cup holders and I didn't really use the dashboard "cubby so I fitted one there.





I had the car smogged at the end of last year and it passed with flying colors. No real engine problems, only a few leaks. I have not driven this car much after that so it will produce the same outcome. I encourage you to check this car out in person. That’s pretty much all i can say about the car. If you have anymore questions fell free to email me and I’ll try to reply as soon as possible. I've already considered everything there is and including how the economy is now. More MPG = More valuable, and for a 21 year old car it's not in bad shape at all. Low miles for its year and produces better mileage than a lot of cars out there now. Thank you for looking

more pix of the rear seat?

shoot me a PM.

also taking donations in paypal.

ya i understand the trans was out of its way for being an older car. he offered to help with labor to put a new one in. i actually didnt find a rebuilt one for 300. only 720 at attarco. bummer. but i do feel like the car is worth it so i think im going to go with the 750. bye bye tax return!!

i already reserved a trailer from uhaul on monday so ill be towing it home on my day off. yay. then hopefully attarco can deliver on that same day or tuesday.

the only reason why i dont want to do the lucas thing is because there's timed parking where the car is sitting right now. mon-fri 7am-6pm 2 hours. and im working here until 1030 so i wont be able to do anything, and i really dont want to come back here tomorrow just to put fthe lucas in and then leave to go back home then come back in the morning the next day.

thanks guys!!

thanks for your input. this sounds the most logical from all ive heard. by limp, would i be able to drive it about 45 miles on the freeway?

i wanted an auto for this car because of traffic and commute. so i guess its time to look for an auto trans.

attarco is charging a newly rebuilt one for 750
local picknpull is charging 125

yes it is.

ok so i posted this on a different forum and havent gotten any replies. i have a 1990 acura integra that just stopped engaging and was wondering whats going on... here's what i posted..



thanks rpr!!

ya the quarter damage does suck. i dont do body work so i just left it the way it is. i guess the story is, the previous owner had drama with someone and the guy took a bat to it at a community college. but that was many years ago.

the timing belt and water pump was done about 1 and a half years ago. im not too sure anymore.

Here's some pictures. This is my Northern Cali baby with under 180k miles and no rust or leaks. Lowered on Blues and monkeyz-tek 350s in the rear. sadly the fronts have the stock torsion bar. recently put in front strut bar and b-pillar bar.

The bads.. Dent and bondo'd by previous owner on the rear quarter panel, saggy rear bumper, oxidation on the hood, no a/c, no wiper pump, and thats about it.

my plugs, cap and rotor are pretty fresh. about a year now i believe. i have yet to get under my 90 integra and work on the alternator. im praying it wont give out anytime soon since youre going to need to remove an axle for that one!! hahahaha grrrrrrrrreat!


i worked on my alternator ALL yesterday... and let me tell you... what a pain in the BUTT.

everything was going easy with the first bolt. took the driver side front wheel off to get to the second one. THAT bolt wasn't budging kinda stripped it a little and tried for hours different ways to loosen it. i ended up using a sawsall and cutting through and chizeling the nut off of that bolt. the bolt was so rusted even the alternator wouldnt move from a regular push of my hand. i had to use a crow bar to move it around to loosen it up. but after all that it was a breeze putting everything back together. yay!!

thanks guys!

today as i was going to work going over the golden gate bridge the battery light on my dash lit up. and stayed lit up until i rev'd it passed 3k...

**sighhh**

bought an alternator from kragen and gunna tackle this over the weekend.. does anyone suggest i do anything else while i work on her?

i actually had the water pump and t-belt done not too long ago, and filters and oil not too long either..

thanks guys!!

best thing to do is go to your local junkyard and grab all the needed hardware. trim pieces and brackets.

im pretty sure either way will work. im thinking the easier route is to grab an integra system.

would this work on a 87 crx?

http://www.attarco.c...64fa07fd0cca11f

if i was able to get all the parts from a junk yard. like the mounts and stuff?

hmmm and a stock d16a1 puts out about 116hp right? damn... i was hoping like 125 at least!!

what swap am i able to do that doesnt require custom mounts?

if im able to do a swap using junkyard mounts im happy!!

and if the price is right ill be starting this real soon.

Spec:
Stock 87 crx Si

whos the trusted ebay seller and does he have anymore in stock? i think im going to hold off on the 9007 conversion because reading through the thread, some peoples harnesses burnt up. yikes!!

im gunna need a how-to on that stat! what headight enclosure did you use?

can i see pix of your set up? and how much did it cost?

ive been wanting a reason to change my bulbs but the 3 years ive owned her now there's been no reason to. those damned headlight bulbs wont burn out.

but i think ill try it sometime next week while i work on her hazards too. ill post results in a new thread if its worthy of it.

i too am looking into miatas as a new dd not sure if i want the first gen or 2nd. i want to preserve my 1g for a while.

i was actually also looking into the mkii mr2 turbos...
