Hello I'm new to the forum. I have already posted pics of my ride in the Hot 1st Gens thread, but I figured it's time to make a build thread as this car is now DEFINITELY a keeper. When I was first looking for a gas saver, I was looking into Geo Metros and Suzuki Swifts. My friend suggested to me that I should buy a CRX HF like he did (his is a second gen) and should get good MPG. When I was younger I always wanted a Honda. But there was a time in my life that I became strictly a Nissan guy and was biased on my opinions. But as the years progressed, I learned to appreciate all types of cars and respect other enthusiasts for the effort they put into loving and building their cars. I never knew this first gen CRX existed, or noticed it for that matter. So when I found it on craigslist, I was skeptical at first because of the recessed headlights and the weird chopped off rear

. But when I saw her and drove it around, I knew I had to have it. So far I've been loving every second of owning this little nimble car, despite having only 50 horsepowers at my disposal. I love how it can carve corners and let the driver feel like everyday driving is not something that is supposed to be boring. I've had it for over a month now, and it's progressed a little bit since then, but has cost me a few bills in the process =). As I've looked into swaps available for the car, I became more inspired to actually make it more fun to drive, despite our $4 per gallon price here in California. In fact, I'm even planning to do a D16A1 swap in it over the summer. I already have the donor integra ready for surgery, but after sharing with some people on g1teg.org on what I'm about to do to a perfectly good integra shell (I'm trying to sell the shell over there when I'm done), they don't seem very happy
Anyway here's the pics:
Just got it (all stock except the steering wheel and muffler) and here posing with my friend's 2nd gen HF
