I was looking at CBR 900s when this 'clean' 91 Si caught my eye. I say 'clean' because the previous owner really misrepresented the car on ebay. I thought about the bikes vs. cars debate, and decided the crx was sound.
Buy-it-now later, and I planned a 5 hour trip from NY to OH to pick up the car.
Long story short, the car had a TON of issues, and I talked him down b
Drove most of the way home in 4th gear because it wouldn't stay in 5th! Turns out the trans was empty :shock:
Here is a timeline of most of the build so far:
