I love how tasteful and reserved everything is ---- it's not slammed, it doesn't have an obnoxious exhaust, no crazy stereo, and no ugly/exaggerated wheels. Everything done just right. So glad I read through the comments and realized that all that red underneath wasn't rust, not all of it anyway.
Love the OEM look of the dual pipes!
i just agreed to buy a 91 CRX with an SI Engine with an Automatic, i know the automatics arent sought after, but it was the first car i ever paid my own money for in 2000 while i was in the army. So excited to have my dream car back.
Indigo Red, so a more maroon type color. I would love to have it black with red striping and black rims. So pumped for my new project man.
Congratulations!
If I ever get an aftermarket cat-back for my ‘91 the HKS has always been my choice!
Amazing! Back in 1989, I had the same car, same rear spoiler, HKS exhaust and same sound! It brings me back the good memory.
Sunday morning. Breakfast and crxseth video. Perfect start!
I had 4 different crxs when I was in my early 20s my absolute favorite cars. Your crx is minty fresh, thank you for sharing! Keep the videos coming!
Honestly the work you have done on this car is first class. Kinda gutted this series is obviously coming to the end but certainly looking forward to what comes next.
Thank you! Hopefully I'll have time to get my S2000 and ITR worked on a little bit. Not ready to jump into a full rebuild again anytime soon!
They still look futuristic forty years later.
This thing will be worth every penny you ask! Get after it, Sir!
I hope so!
@@crxsethare you just jacking the rear up on the tow hook?
@@Athon08 Yes.
Man this looking so sick from when you got it to now. You do amazing work. Love the content.
Thanks! Tons of work but the results are great and worth it!
Amazing restore on the CRX and i love that stock CRX wheels. Its like going back to the 90s. You had all the hard work done to bring it back to its glory, i can't understand why you would let it go. Its something that is getting harder and harder to get/ restore. I love watching your channel, keep up the good work!
That's the reason I started working on the car: to restore and sell. I already have a CRX, so I don't really need an identical twin. I also have several other cars, so I don't have the room to keep everything, nor do I have the money to keep everything. Haha.
Love watching this car as it all comes together
Man. It’s been a while since I could tap in Seth. Started a new job and I live on the road. Bro you have done the unimaginable with a car that was destined to be junked. This here is amazing. One day I hope to have you grace my ep3 with a full restore
Glad to see you properly removed the old exhaust instead of cutting it off like most do.
I actually had to cut the rear section because they used those compression clamps and the pipes would not separate. It was going to scrap anyway.
@crxseth After watching this video, it got me motivated to fix an exhaust leak I've had for a while. It sounds so much better now. Thank you for the inspiration!
Sounds perfect. No drone, no rice.😮
Best youtube channel for crx lifestyle 🔥
you have really out done yourself on this one man, I really hope you get top dollar for this guy.
Thank you.
As always a good clean banger vid! This thing is sooooo mint after the long haul of hard work youve put in! Seeing it pulled from the yard you got it out of to this! INSANE! 💪💪💪
Appreciate it!!
Thanks for posting this. I was looking at that exhaust based on a webpage I had seen but it mentioned nothing about it not bolting right up to a CRX.
It's easy to overlook that it's for the Civic, especially since the years are the same: 88-91.
You're an inspiration.
Love this build man! ❤
I don’t understand how you aren’t dying of heat! I’ve had to stop all of my projects because of how hot it is this time of year
My garage has AC. It's a lifesaver, and worth every penny. When I'm out there, it's 70 degrees. Colder than inside my house.
The best looking exhaust for these cars 😍
I think so too!
Wow, I always wanted the HKS exhaust for my CRX. I almost bought one 18 years ago from a dude off NWP4life he was asking $4k for it new in the box never installed. I changed my mind and bought a CBR600 bike instead lol. Glad HKS decided to start making these again!!! Love your work Seth!
They are actually quite affordable! They aren’t stainless, though so longevity could be an issue for a daily.
Another great video to end my weekend 🙌
Glad to hear it!
te quedo de lujo te pasaste por como restauras estos hermosos CRX soy dueño de uno hace 23 años.... y aun siguen siendo lindos sasludosss
Well done, beautiful.
Very nice job
Looks nice seth. I got a remus exaust. It looks oem only with some bigger end pipes. ✌🏻🇳🇱
I am so incredibly jealous. That CRX is so nice where mine is just in ruins.
This was in ruins just a year or two ago. Just takes some money and lots of work!
I have the same HKS exhaust on my ´89 CRX, it´s an european Si model with the DOHC engine, they didn´t have a cat.
Looks and sounds great! I wanted to keep mine somewhat original too. I got the same alloys too, found them from an imported US spec Civic.
Very cool!
Dude I absolutely love the way you're getting this thing restored. Totally classic and timeless. Good work!!
I had to like and subscribe when I saw the Kentucky license plate.
Thanks for joining!
Such a rad exhaust on an awesome project. I noticed your using the VHT flame proof header paint. I love that stuff, if you really want to get it to cure well use a map gas or propane torch right after it starts to turn matte, and it will cure rock solid!
Good to know!
Duel tips look the business on it great job
That bolt buster is the truth!!
It’s amazing.
I would love to own a 1st gen CRX one day.
I would love to own this 😍
I’ll be making posts on Instagram once it’s on the market and I’ll ask people interested to reach out to discuss. I’ll probably accept the best and easiest offer.
Awesome video as always. Would love a chance to buy this car.
Reach out on Instagram. CRXSETH.
All love 🙌👍👍👍
Too clean
Your footage always looks so crispy seth, would you mind sharing what camera/lens combo you use? Another quality video as usual, I hope one day to have as clean videos as you do! Keeps me motivated to make more on my EG :)
Thank you! I am using a Canon R6 along with primarily the Sigma 35mm f/1.4, but also use the ProOptic 14mm f/2.8, and I used the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 on a couple short shots in this video.
@@crxseth Thank you so much, I had a feeling it was canon, great choice!
Another great milestone! I’m just worried about the fuel tank, hopefully there’s no rust INSIDE it like mine was.
It’s possible, as it’s 35 years old. I swapped the fuel strainer and fuel filter so hopefully it’ll be good for years to come.
Awesome work man what will be your next project? Would you do a EF ,or EG or even a DA? would love to to see you build either one of the those chassis
Well, I have a DC2 ITR that I want to clean up some, and I also have my first car: a 1994 Civic sedan that I’ve considered restoring.
I have that HKS on my 1991 civic... havent driven it since 2011..
:(
Seth you should find some tropical house free use music to put on the background. This music sounds like you're going to kill something the whole time 😂 too serious
Haha. I like the intensity!
I installed mine in january this year , mine is leaking from the gasket that goles behind the middle pipe. Muffler shop said the flange could be a lil bended. I'm wondering if yours doesn't leak.
What disc did you use with the grinder. Any tips wanting to install this week
What's the reach on your floor jack? I wish I could get my EF8 up that high in the garage so I can work underneath her.
Looking great, was it a struggle to install the new exhaust without taking care of the rusty under carriage? You like things clean after all Seth 👍🏽
It's red dirt from Mississippi. I've mentioned this a few times, but it does resemble rust, since it's the same color. I plan on getting the car lifted up outside the garage at some point and cleaning it as best I can since I do not have a lift.
Great video as usual, but I'm ocd..would've taken care of the undercarriage surface rust with some undercoat 😊
It's mostly red dirt from Mississippi. I still plan on pulling the car out and spraying off the remaining dirt under the car if I can get it safely lifted up outside the garage. It looks like rust, but it's just dirt from driving the dirt roads for years.
@@crxseth Tq for the heads-up👍
Ice blast the underside?
Seth do you know if the rear washer nozzle streams or mists out? Trying to figure mine out to see if I need a new one before I clip it in. Mine streams
I think it’s more of a stream than mist.
Im at about 4:22 in the video, and your under the vehicle and it gave me a good question. Do you plan on cleaning up the surface rust (it looks like anyways) on the underneath of the vehicle and respraying it with any kind of undercoating?
It's mostly all red dirt from Mississippi. I've mentioned this a few times, but it does resemble rust, since it's the same color. I plan on getting the car lifted up outside the garage at some point and cleaning it as best I can since I do not have a lift.
@@crxseth yeah sorry, thats what I get for commenting first and not reading the other comments.
Looks showroom new
Man, been following this for over a year!
I have a question... I bought the JDM backseat for a CRX. I can't find the brackets anywhere. I think it was around late '21 that I got the seats and still can't get them installed because I can't find those brackets (the ones that are two parts connected - kind of a triangle shape with a tap thing connected to it). Any idea about where I can find those?
I bet someone in the CRX-UK Facebook group has some available.
I REALLY LIKE THE LOOK FOR THESE HKS MATTE DARK GREAK I'M THINKING OF DOING THE SAME IT'S IN MY OPINION ONE OF THE BEST O.E.M. REPLACEMENT YOU CAN GET WHAT YOU THINK ??
I agree. Looks and sounds great!
I got to say Seth. I absolutely do not like watching your videos. Your Crxs are always so clean, and I want to restore mine, but parts are so scarce and expensive. So in lieu of what I stated earlier is because I wish my Crx looked as nice as yours. Keep up the grind im happy to see restored crxs get taken care of!!
I'm a 91 si tahition Green owner.
Do it! It’s a lot of work, but worth it!
An aftermarket header will really wake that exhaust up though. It sounds great but a header is a definite plus.
Even a high flow cat would help make it louder, too.
@@crxseth that's for sure a good way to go next as well. I wanted to pass smog so I went with the basic california emissions one to avoid any issues but definitely on the list of what to do next.
Well damn
Hey Seth do you have a video about how you addressed the underbody rust?
It wasn’t rust. It was red dirt as the car was used on farms in Mississippi. I pressure washed it off but didn’t detail that in a video. I sanded down the bottom of the gas tank and put a coat of undercoating on it.
@@crxseth have you dealt with that issue before? Im attempting the repair my crx is why I asked
@crxseth Are you just jacking the rear up by the tow hook?
Yes.
been a while since i watched a video. crazy you are selling this car. whenever you do id love to know where to try and buy!
I'll make a post on my Instagram: CRXSETH
I'm sure you have mentioned this before so forgive me but why no Honda hood ornament?
Still need to do a final buff. I mentioned it in this and a previous video but it’s easier to buff without it and the squirters installed.
I'm installing the same exhaust and I'm getting a measurement of a little bit under 8.5 inches. I'm measuring in the same location as in the video. That seems like it would be too much cutting. Any ideas? Thanks
Just cut what you think is necessary to fit correctly.
@@crxseth Thanks for the reply Seth! Will do👍
I would love to have seen a quick under coating to cover up that Surface rust
I will do a final cleanup underneath and will most likely treat and cover any remaining surface rust. A lot of that is dirt.
Didn’t you put silicone/sealant on gasket???
I did on one that had a leak. It’s fixed.
Knowing what good condition EG Hatch SI's are going for now a days I would imagine you are going to have this priced in the $20-25k+ range or have the prices of CRX's not been trending as far up as EG's?
They are definitely trending upward, especially for clean ones. The CRX community definitely keeps trying to keep the price down, by defending that most are only worth $3-5k, but I am beginning to disagree. Anthing $3-5k is rusty and incomplete.
@@crxseth I have seen clean (no dents no rust, ~okish paint) exterior and interior Eg hatch SHELLS going for 3-5k. The EG market, IMO, is way too far gone for any kind of price correction any time soon.
Are these hks exhaust stainless?
No. They are painted carbon steel.
30k 😮
If you don't mind me asking, are you planning on sell this in the future?
Yes. It will be for sale as soon as I get it completed.
@@crxseth Awesome, I'll be on the looking for it.
If you don't mind, may I ask how much for the car?
@@kouinvesting I plan to make some posts on my Instagram once it’s available and ask those interested to reach out. I’ll most likely take the best offer that I get. I’ve had some interest and offers, but since the car isn’t yet available, I haven’t accepted any yet. It will be a few weeks before the car is ready. I still have a few items to finish up.
so it would have to be cut for every CRX? 88-91?
Yes.
@@crxseth everything out there on my budget looks pretty lame :( plus now this wont sit right with my installer,, me..
How much are you asking for the CRX? It came out AWESOME!!!
I’ll probably ask for potential buyers to reach out and discuss and accept the best and easiest offer once it’s on the market.
@@crxseth Is there some way you could auction it?
@@number3stunner118 That’s basically what I’ll be doing as long as there is enough interest. I’ll just be communicating with the buyers.
Put me on the list. I’m interested. Great videos by the way.
@@keith3609 Please DM me on Instagram asap.
Is that rust on the underside, or just dirt?
Mississippi red dirt. Still needs some more pressure washing!
@@crxseth good deal. It’s looking awesome. You’ve done a phenomenal job!
The underside could do with a wash.
Definitely. It’s on the list of items to do.
Normally I hate those type of rims however they are looking pretty damn good on this spec crx.
Why didn't you sand down the undercarriage and spray it. You seemed to go crazy on minor stuff but leaving the bottom rusty? What the hell bro lol
It was done, just not on video.
@@crxseth word. If you ever want to give that crx away then I'm your guy lol
@@nickwells20 Haha. It’s actually already sold.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😘💪🤝
Naw bro, got to cut that resonator off and get rid of cat! Let that vtec pop like back in the day!
Haha. This engine doesn’t have VTEC!
howzit brotha from hawaii sellin any crx?
Not at the moment. Maybe in a year or two I’ll have a Y49 I’m about to start redoing.
@@crxseth have any contact information, serious on buying it now I want to keep in touch n all brotha
How much are you looking to get? Is there fb I can reach you at?
You can reach me via Instagram at CRXSETH.
That motor sounds like it might have early sounds of rodknock..
Sounds like every Honda I've ever owned. Has normal head tick. Couldn't hurt to do a valve adjustment.
@@crxseth Ok. I just rewatched the clip with better audio and it doesn’t sound as unusual as I originally thought it did.
Why not wire wheel the floor to keep is of rust and hit it with POR15
That’s actually exactly what I did!
Bro i was watching boostedboiz and they had a give away S2000 and the winners name was Seth and they called him to let him know he won and it sounded like you.. so I'm wondering.
Dang, I wish.
make this one your wifes
No gloves or goggles. 😬
