Hey, been a lurker for a while, peicing my ride together. Thought I'd share some. I have a 1985 Honda Civic CRX Si. With DOHC 1.6i ZC motor swap, 89 Teg tranny, mounts, teg front brakes with Brembo slotted rotors, Axxiss Metal masters pads, Goodridge stainleess brakelines, aluminum flywheel, MSD blaster coil, taylor vertex plug wires, NGK copper V power plugs, Unorthodox crank pulley, Trust strut bar, Addcco Sway bars, Tokicco Illumina struts, Eibach rear springs, OPM front torsion bars, Pilot H4 crystal headlights, DC Sports header, K&N filter with cut airbox, Random tech high flow cat converter, Summit Turbo muffler with Monza tip.
20+ year old JDM stuff; 15" Mugen MR-5 wheels with Toyo Proxess T1-R 195-45-15 tires, EDM and JDM front corners, ZC PJ1 ECU, JDM taillights, tailpanel, emblems,digital dash cluster, trip computer, DOHC PGM-Fi steering wheel, genuine bulged ZC steel hood and probably more I forgot.
Oh yeah, and to top it off, a "Mugen" oil cap. I know, pimp. Also a Greddy turbo kit waiting patiently in a box waiting to be installed. But tempting me everyday. Hope you like it. It's different.

Thanks for the comments. I'm keeping the ZC since it is "period correct" and was mucher easier AND cheaper to swap in instead of a B series, however tempting. Having a mortgage and kid kinda drains any signifigant B series funds. The dash is cool, I just have to keep a copy of the original speedo face nearby to calculate KPH to MPH until I get used to doing it in my head. As far as the bumper sticker, it's strategically covering a paint blemish, and may be hard to read in the pic. It says "Jesus Loves you-Everyone else thinks you're an asshole". The Mugen MR-5s came from Ebay, with a full set of matching lug and center caps. It doesn't show to bad in pics, but now I'm saving to get it repainted. I really love the B series motors, but can't justify another swap to my wife. On Redpepperracing.com there are a few B series 1st gen CRXs and they are very quick. Light and nimble cars. I think both 85 Turbo B16 CRX Si's are for sale ironically enough. I really care more about having a good looking, well balanced car rather than just all out speed, all though that doesn't hurt. The turbo should be installed early spring maybe, as the car is going into it's annual winter hibernation. It will be ready when I get my "Turbo Boost" button from Markscustomkits.com.
