so back in july 26, 2007, some dude in milpitas california decided to give his 86 crx si for free on craigslist.
i showed up the next day with a borrowed truck and a rented dolly from u-haul and it was mine XD
the car was in pieces.. wasn't running... hatch wouldn't close, hood latch was broken... broken lights everywhere... engine bay looked like someone put oil in a water gun and had lots of fun and thats just the start
got it home, found a piece of rubber gasket that kept the hatch from closing... removed it and the hatch close normally again
put in another battery... car started... dead battery
found that the valve cover gasket was busted and spitting oil like insane
but for the mean, time, i put the project aside til october 2007

wind's pop-up 86 CRX Si (Electric Vehicle)
Finally got around to extracting the video from the gopro. Road test after suspension change (to 4kgf springs) And this is a video while I'm testing the regen braking. One of the things I miss from driving a CRX with a ICE is the sound. The revs. And so, a silly side project, thus a note...
