I'm in Missouri actually, at my mother's place.
Well, I haven't tried rolling it, but I assume it rolls!
I was driving it for a good while with no interior (no heating, a/c, blower, dash etc) and completely exposed wiring and it worked fine.
However, I never got the hybrid regen braking working properly due to wiring issues. I recall feeling at the time that my attempts to mate the wiring harnesses were likely the cause, and I should have instead used the stock insight harness and and made custom adapters for the car side (lights, fuel tank, etc), so I was looking for a fresh harness for a while.
Car itself has had the old mounts out and custom ones welded in (by me) so it wouldn't be very easy to swap back in typical Honda stuff.
Let me know!

I don’t remember a project here for that, was it an insight motor swap?
Is the original interior in the trash or still somewhere?

Hey, welcome back SVOboy. I remember you. Post up photos/details of what you're selling.

To be honest, there's probably more value in the CRX parts these days. Those cars are going up, up, up in price. Collector car.
Surprisingly, there are two rolling around in my little rust belt city. One year-round (shockingly), the other summer only.

I don't think there's enough room in a Beat chassis for more than a handful of double-A's!

Hey Ben! Nice to see ya.
Good luck getting rid of the IRX project. It was a great idea, and I hope someone else runs with it.

Yes, I almost never see CRXs around Japan, and they're super expensive. If I ever planned to move back to the US I'd hold on to it, but there you have it!
