RockAuto Auto Parts, I think it was like 70 bucks. The only hard to find parts are the side moldings, and sometimes the fenders.

I sold it last August. Carb problems were annoying me, and the car really didn't have the horse power for hill climbing. I hated having to floor it to climb up some roads at legal speeds. I got an offer I couldn't refuse (more than double what I had in it), and sold it. Here's a few photos after the paint and wheels:

I maintain that a 1G CRX HF with a later HX/VX motor would be a fantastic car. Not only fun to drive -- with more power than the period Si had -- but also very efficient with the car's insanely low curb weight.

[...] But the man who creates the music is hearing something else, is dealing with the roar rising from the void and imposing order on it as it hits the air. What is evoked in him, then, is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for the same reason. And his triumph, when he triumphs, is ours." -Sonny's Blues Last edited by texanidiot25; 06-01-2011 at 10:11 PM..
