Bought a 88 CRX SI ITA car

Dave...

First - sorry to see that, especially during your first event.

Second - that can be fixed! A good body shop can pull that out and get the door to shut. Trust me... I know. DOH!

The CRX is a tough car and as long as the four corners are straight and true, you will still be able to run well.

That split between the rear wheels is what someone mentioned in an earlier post... it is a weak spot on the car. You can have it welded up and then add a bar across the rear suspension points (you can find them online). But remember, you can't use a sta-bar in the rear and front... only one or the other.

Don't let the wreck discourage you. Unfortunately, it is part of the sport. You just got it done earlier than you would have hoped to.

Ask around where a racecar friendly shop is. Cash, and be specific that you want it functioning properly but are not as concerned about cosmetics.

Too bad about this happening, but don't give up and before you know it, you'll be out there again.

Thanks everyone

the place I took it to was a guy that does alot of race car repairs and he did not even want to touch it

one option is to take it over to the local Junior collage, they have a frame machine

this is one bad a** car

Try MyHondaPartsStore.COM

[Steven McWilliams Jr]

hondaautomotiveparts.com they have almost eveything.
Also, you can register with Honda and Hondaracing.com/hpd for crazy discounts on everything you'll need. Doors, fenders. And other parts that you may need. But it ships from CA. They call to verify your order and get a card number so I'd go ahead and ask about shipping.

Good luck!

Well I haven’t had any luck getting the lower cross member from Honda
They say it’s discontinued

I did contract with a guy that says he will fix the car $650

But I have to fix the lower cross member myself


I will head to the junk yard tomorrow and try to get the lower cross member.

I also need to get a door
The question I have is what year doors are the same?

I mean can a 90 door fit on an 88?
I have already been to the junk yard once and it looked like the later doors had the seat belts in the door
And it had some metal hooks (or something) on the door

This looked different then my 88 so I did not buy the door.

Thanks for any info

David
