1990 Honda Crx Si With 17,800 Original Miles ! on 2040-cars

 For Sale: 1990 Honda CRX Si. One owner car purchased new in 1990 from a Honda Dealer in  NY. The car was immediately prepped for IMSA's Firestone Firehawk Endurance Championship (FFEC) and was never registered or used on the street until 2003. The car competed in the full 1991 FFEC season and part of the 1992 season. In 1991 it finished the 24 hours of Watkins Glenn and in 1992 in finished 7th at Laguna Seca. This was the last time the car saw competition. In august 1992 the car was stored in a heated garage until 1995 when the car was moved to Phoenix AZ. Between 1995 and 2003 the CRX was slowly converted the car back to a street car. Since 2003 it was used the car for occasion commuting and the occasional track day . The car has 17,767 original miles.

The good points:
This car has under 18,000 original miles, no that is not a misprint, that's less than eighteen thousand.
The 1.6L single overhead cam has been bored to the maximum allowable limit, balanced and blueprinted with gapless piston rings, ceramic coated piston tops and Teflon coated skirts. The head has been polished and ported. The intake manifold has been extrude honed for larger ports. When the CRX was converted  back to a street car a high flow cat, a Mugen header and a cold air intake was installed. The car also has a Brospeed exhaust that includes a resonator. It sounds great, not like most civics with fart can mufflers. The car has no trouble passing emissions and no check engine light. The engine makes most of its power between 6 and 7K rpm and LOVES to rev. The current engine was refreshed recently with bearings and rings. 
The bolt in roll cage and racing seats where removed once racing ended and the original interior was re-installed. So the interior is in near perfect condition except where the stereo was stolen and the drivers seat bolster fabric is worn through. I believe the seats are not the original ones but were purchased used in order to convert it back to a street car.
The car has Dunlop Sport 8000 tires on 14 inch ROH 6 spoke wheels. There is plenty of tread left on them but they are 10 years old and are showing signs of dry rot.
Stainless steel braided brake lines with the stock calipers, rotors and pads are in good shape.
The car has Ground Control adjustable coil overs with Koni adjustable shocks and Eibach springs. The shocks and springs were installed recently so they are fairly new.

 The sunroof is still intact and operates as normal with the factory electric motor.
All the bushings in the cars suspension and the motor mounts are Mugen performance parts.
There is a Momo steering wheel and gear shift knob installed in the car.
 Three years ago a used OEM air conditioner system was installed since this car did not come equipped with A/C. During the install a proper conversion from R12 to 134a was performed.  ALL of the O-rings were replaced to the green ones for 134a, completely flushed the system of the old oil and replaced it with the type compatible with 134a. The A/C stopped working because a seal is leaking and the idler pulley was making noise. I will include a BNIB Honda idler pulley.

The bad points:
The body has seen some battle from the track and is still painted and stickered with most of the graphics from the FFEC. The stickers are peeling and the paint is faded. There is almost no body panel that is free of some type of dent or bruise. The hood and the roof are probably the panels free of dings and dents.
The hatch shocks are shot and the hatch falls on your head unless you affix a vice grip.

There is an oil pressure gauge that is "T'ed" into the oil pressure port. The gauge is connected with stainless braided lines from the engine to the gauge. Both the idiot light and the oil pressure gauge work and the engine produces a sold 80psi of oil pressure.
 
Mounted in the cargo box in the rear hatch is a Nakamichi P300 amp that is 2 channel 75 watts per channel. This amp is VERY clean and was discontinued by Nakamichi years ago but is highly sought after in the used market.
In the doors are Rockford Fosgate speakers; QSD216 Q SERIES: 6.5

The driver and passenger side taillights are damaged and cracked.

The CV boots are leaking due to the car sitting for extended periods of times and there is a minor oil leak.
I have the car fax validating the mileage.

I will include the the following BRAND NEW IN BOX Honda parts for this vehicle: All new moldings, the lower cladding, lower door caps, passenger side front fender, new quarter window seals, sunroof seal, A/C idler pulley, center radio trim bezel with storage pocket.

I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time. This car will probably sell before the auction is over. Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to own a low mileage CRX with a interesting history. When this car is properly re painted it will be worth a lot of money.

I am the second owner and I have owned this car for almost 2 years. I wanted to restore it but I just do not have the time and I am looking at buying another project car. Feel free to call me @ 443-226- FIVE NINE FOUR ZERO
