I picked this up recently for no real reason other than it was an insanely good deal, and I've kinda wanted one for a while. It's a 1990 CRX Si, almost stock other than the KYB shocks and the driving lights.  I already put my 14" wheels and Azenis on it (it came with the stock swirlies and all-seasons) and I currently have the engine bay torn apart. The clutch is bad, or maybe it's just the throwout bearing, I don't know, the tranny isn't quite unbolted yet. I'll have more pictures next week, but this is what it looks like now. Plans include: fixing the clutch, touching up the rust, used ground controls, working hatch struts, and a muffler without holes. It will be a fun little car for very little money.

maybe a few times, it's not nearly as prepared as it should be, but it will be fun.

Someone that goes to all the local autocrosses has a wicked crx...stock motor, but lots of frame rigidity add ons along with a nice suspension package. He runs the same times as a regular z06 and elise that show up every time run as well. It's pretty impressive. And the guy with the z06 was a state champion, so its not like the other guys lack driver skill either.
