So after my many civics, I thought it would be cool to try something out of the norm, and as I was doing a takeaway delivery I noticed it out side the house, few minutes later made an offer and bought it that day! and I must say I was impressed!

Car: CRX EF8 SiR
Power folding mirrors
Optional Glass Roof
Climate control

engine:
B16a
base mapped ECU
Super sprint manifold
Powerflow exhaust
Random Air Induction

Wheels and Suspention
D2 coilovers gen 2
Rota fighter Bronze

Interior:
Sir Interior panels all black and matts
DC2 black Recaro seats
ITR Gear knob
Momo steering wheel


this is what it looked like when I first got my hands on it



rear shot



first things first, made sure it had a service and cambelt done as you do, thanks again mission motorsport







wheels didn't really suit the fresh out of japan look I was looking for, and because I couldn't afford ce28's at the time I just went with the rota fighters.





quite luckily it had the 282 brake conversion, unfortunately the track rod ends had failed, and the only place I could get them was at honda, so nice bill there.





after some thought I finally gave in and went to london to pick up some black itr recaro's which came out of a friends b20 crx mugen project by HondaR, such a great example!





and my new seats





some one took a nice photo



I then summoned the courage to bare the kidney abusing agoney of the d2 coilovers purchased by the original owner.

and this is how she stands at the moment, I do plan on having a full respray. will keep you up to date!

 
Really like this. We're you lucky to have an LSD equipped gearbox from the factory? Can you see any markings or stickers on the transmission case near to where it bolts to the engine?
 
nice project car mate, looking forward to more updates :D
 
Thanks alot lads! another rear photo added, sorry mark No LSD unfortunately but hopefully thats a future addition btw you do know it's me Sam? blue ej9. And yes this has been posted on CRX-UK forum to, but I prefer this one. oh some more up dates.



Oh and I forgot to mention I got these too! like gold dust! some original stanely fogs another optional extra!



 
Ahh YES! A kanjo project! Was waiting for a member start one with all the recent Kanjo craze. :dance: :run:
 
Hey Sam. Didn't realise it was you. Great car buddy. I really miss my EF8.

Whatever you do to the car modification wise, try to keep as much of the oem parts as possible. These things are getting rarer by the day and oem parts are becoming harder to find. I know when I had mine, some parts were even obsolete from Honda.
