I don't know. It looks really nice. Great shape. But F1 CRXs were a dime a dozen in America. All my friends had them. I kinda have a Ballade Sport theme going on, sorta. If you'd like to trade, say, the steering wheel, mudflaps, easy to reproduce stickers, dash, or seats for some Ultrarare USDM ones in good condition, let me know. I'll do whatever I can to help you out. But, it does look really good. The ZC is sweet. Congrats.

Welcome Kristoo!
awesome to see that car go to someone who loves gen1s!!!
I've seen it on Carsales.com.au and was telling ppl in my crx club to get it.
Good luck with it - and keep it as original as you possibly can - even simple disc brake conversion can devalue the car in the future
WOOHOO for a CRX in Australia! Well done!
and if you get a chance - get the latest Hot4s issue 144 and check out my GENONE!

Thanks for all the kind words folks.
For all those who may be worried about its future, fear not, it will be well looked after. It's going need a a bit of time and money to get back into really good condition, but I think it's worth it. There aren't really many people over here who can appreciate what it is so I'm glad you guys do.
I'm not going to change anything from stock, basically because I think it was the best model from the factory, and I don't see many modifications which could improve it. Certainly none visually.
HOWEVER, there are a couple of exceptions:
I know what you're saying about the brakes GENONE, and I agree on principle, but frankly I like discs, and on top of that some people just can't look past the drums. I think it's worth a small concession in originality to win over a few more fans If I ever do swap discs onto the back, I'll be able to put the drums back on later if I really want to get it back to absolute stock. I'm not going to be throwing away any of the hardware.
I'm also happy to make improvements to suspension. I haven't even gotten a wheel off yet, but there is a bad, bad rattle from the rear right, which I'm guessing means new shocks at the least, but possibly new bushings which may as well be urethane. Front struts may need replacing too.
Tein coilovers would be lovely, but I don't have that sort of cash handy, and wont for a little while, I've already stretched a fair bit just to get the car when it came along.
I should mention I've been following your progress with your 'rexs since you joined here too (I've always been envious) and yes, I've read the Hot4s article
I'll start a worklog thread for the car in the CRX technical section once I have a chance to start looking over it.
