Id think on this site if anywhere people would understand how rare 1&3gs are coming, Especially Si's.. If i could have found a car in half as good of shape as the one in the pics to have as a project id be happy as fuck.... People need to think more and by cutting them up for no apparent reason but lazyness is just stupid.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah, as Red Pepper's co-founder and the fabricator(read: Tig Welder by trade) of many of the rpr exclusive parts. Lets chalk this up to laziness The car was rotten, I wouldn't have felt safe in a car that is not structurally sound, especially on a racetrack. Could the car have been rebuilt? sure, but for 3-4000$ dollars? Is it worth it? As one of the worlds biggest 1G CRX fans be assured the car was cut up for good reason. Was it a shame? you bet, and I miss the car like crazy. Will I buy another? No. I have gone to the dark side of VTEC and double wishbone suspensions and I'm quite happy there.

Well even tho, im sure u could have sold the car to a person who would have been happier than a pig in shit to fix it up.. Fuck if i had known ur were in Ontario i would have made u a offer for the thing.. Its too bad man. Enjoy you new cx.

finally, some one who realizes fixing a rust bucket is NOT worth the time and effort.

I didnt cut mine up. I had it hauled away for free I left good 23mm tbars on the car too. I twas all stripped except for the wiring harness/hatch/subframe. I put to much god damn time and effort into that car for it to rot away 4 years later. There for I just let it sit then finally pitched it.

If you're so hot to trot and want to put your money where your mouth is make an offer on this rust bucket ;



^^^Except it's worse now, we're cutting it up as soon as spring comes.

And we might do the same to the blue Canadian HF, since Cpiddy is having hella
time trying to Etest the damn carbed ZC!

We've gotten a couple cars stipped down as far as this...and hauled them off to a metal recycler. At that weight, four guys can pick it up and move it around easily. We've gotten as little as $26 and as much as $48 for a complete car. Thing is, if you're willing to cut it up/sort it, you get even more money then a whole shell.

Someone cut up a stripped 2nd gen a couple years ago...it all fit in like 4 garbage cans.

Im looking for a Si Only.. Ive already had 2 DX's and i cant live without a sunroof.. If u advertised your cars for sale im sure u wouldnt have any problem getting rid of them before u have to " Cut them up ". My second Crx had Rotten shock towers, partial Subframe and Rad Support Rot and next to no floors and it cost me under $500 to have it all Professionally cut out and fixed. Seemed like a good trade off to me... BTW I like ur Black CRX Boman thats clean.

[Vandemar]

How much time, and how many Sawzall blades were involved? I have the same fate planned for my '87 Si (wrecked in an on-track incident), but I keep putting it off...

[rpr]

About an hour and maybe 6 blades...

[JDN14]

id do the same to my 86 Si but i dont have the tools...

Makes me feel like I'm fighting a lost cause...........

Hey, was that a ROTISSERY brace I saw on the front and back? I thought I was the only one who made those.

[rpr]

Yes, it was. Sadly, that too went into the trash. It was on rollers too...

[xxpaulcpxx]

Any pics of it on the spit? How well did it work out?
