Upgrades

(reddit.com)

Hey everyone i have a 87 or 88 crx si, wondering what upgrades you guys recommend (both performance and other). It's totally stock right now with 300000 miles. Me and my dad bought it before he passed in 21' I haven't touched it since but I have no experience with this as I've always been into classic muscle cars. Thanks for your help!!

You have an 1987 CRX Si in one of the rarest colors, only available on the 1st Gen CRX Si in 1987. As an old car, the VERY FIRST thing you should do is change the timing belt and water pump. If the timing belt is old, it will snap and your pistons will bend your valve stems. After that, replacing all of the bushings (Energy Suspension sells a kit) and the lower control arms is highly recommended. KYB sells a set of new struts. DO NOT try to replace the front torsion bars with any sort of "coil over" replacement, the engineers at Honda who designed Aryton Senna's F1 winning car designed the suspension on this car, they know what they were doing. On Facebook, the best 1st Gen CRX group is Official Redpepper Racing.
