| Straight from China...a 91 CRX SiR. Pristine condition, original paint, and I cannot find a single dent or scratch on it. Well, there is a small crack on the plastic trim that runs on the top of the rear bumper and a chip below the right turn signal in the front. If you look closely at the pictures, you'll see it. There are lots of "go-fast" goodies under the hood, which I'd rather keep secret for now. This thing is super clean--well-- undercarriage, body, suspension, and under the hood. The only area that needs attention is the interior, which is just fine by me. I'll rip everything out, dynamat it and put everything back together, doing it right the first time. I change my mind as often as most people change their underwear. With that being said, my current line of thinking is the following--ease off on the competition scene for the remainder of the year while I get ready for next year. I will dump every cent of my "mad cash" into this car and don't want to be sidetracked with other projects. The Mountaineer will be parked. The bike will be put in the shed. My wife's Xb will still have it's competition setup, but I will not spend a great deal of time on this. I'm excited to be joining the CRX community and feel priviledged having this car.... | |

| Are you sure it did not come from Honk Kong?
In Honk Kong the steering wheel is on the right side (like the UK) and in China, the wheel is on the left side like here in the US.
Cool car! | |

| Yea, although I'd love to have it ready for the next show, I don't think that's possible due to my lack of free time and a huge budget. so....09 WATCH OUT. lol
Yea, it came with an Alpine and a Optima Yellow--imagine that. lol I'm sure it was all figured into the price tag. HAAA All's good though.
John, you might have me on that one. I had been telling my friends that it's straight from Japan. Then when I was going to post it on here, I thought, I better get it right...b/c if I don't someone'll be sure to let me know about it...so I just did a quick search of the "origins of Honda Motor" and I saw China mentioned in a couple of the results...so I went with that. Funny thing is that now that I put "origins of Honda Motor Co." in the search block, Hong Kong Japan jumps up everywhere. Go figure. Nice catch though, and thanks for the lesson. I absolutely LOVE learning new things. lol. | |

| Thanks guys for the compliments. Wasn't really looking for one, Kenny. Kinda just fell into my lap---well kinda fell into my rent house. It belongs to the new tenant. We're working a deal for reduced rent. Kinda a weird deal, but benefits all who's involved. | |

| true true...will just be very limited. going to have to be something to think about. Might just make a couple of different boxes, do some testing, and pending the results, run both classes with different boxes. Time'll tell. | |
