Midious 91 CRX/// BOOM goes the b16

Hello all,

Long time board lurker first time poster .

Ive owned my crx for about 3 years now, she has a little over 595,000 miles on the clock and has been a blast to own and drive.

Has a b16a, skunk 2 megapower/noise exhaust and some other odds and ends, I know you all love pics here so Ill just get to those

The car when I bought it


Had the usual rust spots but not too bad, the clearwas starting to flake off and peel as well



Sooooooooo over the winter I decided to get her fixed up and have some fresh paint put on






My first look atthe finished product



Had to drive it without a windshield to the shop to have glass put in, was very fun

That will look very pretty when it's detailed and tucked

Looks nice! I already like you! Your prompt response makes me happy! Keep us updated through the build!

I think if you took a nice microfiber cloth to that bay, it wouldn't look too shabby!

Who likes an overly loud exhaust?

Was out with my gf riding around and she wanted to take some videos with her new ipod. What better to take a video of then a loud exhaust



A little fly by


And in the cabin with the windows up


It wasnt really that bad till I broke the resinator
New thermal exhaust in a few weeks and hopefully Ill have the cash to finish everything else, Ill keep you guys updated

Thank you all for the warm welcome as well

Thermal R&D exhaust I have one and love it. I like where this build is headed, only thing I would suggest is to put the H emblem on the hood since it looks empty without it, and I would lower it a tad more.

I would lower it a tad more.

Id love to go another inch lower but the roads in NW Connecticut are so horrible id be replacing an oil pan a week

lol, That exhaust sounds like an entire demo derby. Can't wait til you upgrade! Car looks great either way!

Man those Tenzo seats look awesome to sit in. Real nice dude!

I think if you took a nice microfiber cloth to that bay, it wouldn't look too shabby!

I didnt have my microfiber cloths with me but I did have my compound removing toothbrush and some degreaser



Am I the only person who finds cleaning thier car relaxing? Great way to unwind before I go home

Same! I'm actually trying to set a crx carwash day here in van maybe in 2 weeks. I like having a clean car.

I like it to blind onlookers. Can't wait for new paint to be waxable. Can only glaze it for now

Nice stuff! crx=relaxing keep up the good work!

Looking good! I like your valve cover

Id like to get it powdercoated or painted to match the exterior color. Anyone know any good fairly priced powdercoaters?

if u update your location.. there is a good one here by my house..

So I was driving to work this morning horsing around with a co worker when I started to get a misfire, check engine light came on. I had no idea a b16 with a misfire sounded like a boxer engine



So I pulled the plugs and inspected, wires, cap and rotor all looked ok, found one of my injector harness connectors was missing the clip


So just like I used to on my 300zx I made one out of a paper clip


ECM also had a code for the o2 sensors so I replaced both of them as well while I was there


And im actually getting about 35mpg now up from about 29mpg

the crx is looking good ..... reminds me of mine...
