Default My Honda Cr-x 1990 ef7 Glassroof Si

Hi all,

I know I have been very lazy and haven't got around to posting much up about my project cr-x. I am currently studying Motorsport Engineering in England. But spent over 1 year saving a building a cr-x from basically the ground up. Starting with getting all the body working getting sorted out there was not a lot to do but I had my local panel beater do most of the work.
The arches are perfect and sills seemed fine.
There was a small bit of rust on the A-frame but got it cut out filled and treated.
Then I got the lip sprayed and the left panel replaced and sprayed. Then moved on to the fancy stuff I installed a set of JDM original fogs.
Treated myself to a very expensive but absolutely flawless Seibon carbon fibre bonnet with a vent placed for my K20a2.
I changed the back lights for some better quality standard ones of my old cr-x and spent two days trying to get them to fit as tight as possible ha also sealing all the holes and gaps.
Then I moved to the mechanics of the crx which I cared out myself.
I replaced the hole suspension system. Starting with
Set of Meister R zeta coilovers.
Cyberspeed lower control arms.
Full Cyberspeed Toe and camber rear adjustable kit.
Tenso r rear and front anti-role bars.
Epc front camber kit new top wishbones.
New front toe ball joints cut to fit SIr hubs.
New bushes all round.
Then the breaks.
Starting new refurbished SIr callipers.
Replaced all the pads with new pink Meister R ones.
New 330mm groved front disc & 280mm rear groved discs.
Replaced the front hubs for SIr ones.
Replaced rear and front caliper mounts for Meister R ones.
Replaced break hoses for stainless steal hoses.
I bled the entire system 6 times in total I think to make sure they where at max performance.
Then I moved on to the engine and running gear. I had planned on a k20a2 but realised that there was just not enough time before I went back to university. So I kept the d16a9.
replaced the spark leads, spark plugs, oil filter, fuel filter, cleaned all the hoses, tied up wiring replaced main fan relay, temperature sensor, main fan sensor, battery, cleaned pvc & carburater. tested combustion in each cylinder.
Installed megan full racing exhaust with 4-2-1 manifold and double exit back box. I also have a Aem brand new cold air induction kit not fitted yet tho!!.. Then once every think was complete I ordered some nice new momo corse 16" light weight alloys with brand new tyres.
Here are some of the pics but need to take some new ones haha!










Also I forgot to mention about the interior.
I complete stripped the interior and cleaned every think. Resprayed all faded trimming and replaced the floor mates with custom made cr-x ones... Sorry don't have any pictures to show.. I will get some professional pictures when i go home.

Before I am finished boring you it brings me to the worest part of this post I have to sell up due to the expense of living in the UK I never wanted it to come to this but see myself with no other option. So I would appreciate some advice on how much I would look at getting for it. Please before posting take into account that i have spent a huge amount of my time and money on this cr-x so unless it is good or constructive please reframe from commenting. Also I have a folder containing all the receipts for parts and work done.

Forgot to mention it has a meta alarm. With central locking and fob.

Thanks for your time hope you enjoyed my very brief project build haha.

This CRX is far nicer than I remember. As for a price you won't get near the money you spent on it complete but what I recommend is removing most of the new parts fitted to put it back standard. All the arms underneath and the coilovers should sell pretty easily and replace them with standard to sell the car then

Thanks it took long enough haha... I know I never expected to get any think compared to what I have spent on it but would like to get the most amount of money back possible considering every think is near brand new ha. Thanks for your feedback

Right guys after a long time of holding this point off I have come to the conclusion that I will have to sell up so how much do you guys think this is worth as is or is anyone interested in the parts if I did have to break... I will sell it with full test and new timing belt if it goes as hole.

How much are you hopeing to get and can go from there really I think removing some of the fancy bits and replacing with standard could be your best bet

I am hoping to get around 3500, I cant afford to put back on the standard parts cause the parts that came off arent in the best state to go back on. If there was enough interest in parts I would just break. Should I put it on donedeal and see what offers I get, I would preffer to break than see it in a ditch!!
