I bought this car complete, with no problems, in 6/2003. I drove it stock for a while, then decided to have a b18c1 installed into it. I then bought an interior-gutted 91 CRX Si with body work done and took the interior out of my DX for the Si. I planned to sell the DX, but it ended up sitting on cinder blocks, under a tarp, in my driveway for 7 years while I was away at college.
During that time, I discovered the Si had significant rear frame damage and I grew a little taller, so I no longer comfortably fit in the Si with its sunroof. As of 4/2011, I have decided to strip the Si of its upgraded parts, install them on my DX and restore it, doing everything but major body work (for now).
Semi-restored back to driveable condition after sitting under a tarp, on cinder blocks for 6 years.
The car had:
-No front suspension
-The only interior was 2 seats and the dashboard
