You are talking to a college kid who just blew every cent he has on buying the car and then fixing it. And I have to pay insurance for this car too (my own policy, the Integra was on my parents so they paid for it). Today I spent more than $40 in gas for my Integra for the first time EVER!!! And that was 87 octane. I'm going to be working hard this summer to make up all the cost of owning this **** thing.

Got some goodies in today for my turbo project.

Also mocked up the turbo and I'm going to start porting the turbo to match the manifold tomorrow. Just waiting on my intercooler, piping, BOV and oil pan fittings.

Also working on this POS for a friend. Its a 89 si but the last owner swapped in a 90 DX 1.5 along with the dash and complete harness. So were converting it back to a is with a 1.6 head and MPFI. Not bad for $700

The swap

Also had some friends stop bye to check out my projects.

700 isn't bad at all. Looks to be in good shape

...Except for the coat hanger battery tie-down. Where'd you get the motor, it doesn't look stock at all?

I lol at the coat hanger when he opened the hood for the first time.

The block is a 1.5 dx and the head is a 1.6 off my stock A6 with a OBX intake manifold.

Still working on the dang wiring. Were hoping to have it started tomorrow night but I wouldn't bet on it.

Runs better than my 'Rex. After sitting for 4 months, something in the fuel system has gone sour.

I don't think I've seen that many late 80's honda's in a small place like that every, let alone that many CRX's

what junkyard are you going to??? I've torn apart all the local ones(4 of them) around here and found 1 90 hatch striped out. I did find a 89 crx si sitting next to a barn that was gave up on. Bought it and pulled out all the perfict interior and then sold it to a scrap yard and made cash back. It had sat on its belly so long the floor was almost gone.
