1989 Honda CRX DX B20b JDM Super clean, recaro, sprint heart CP-R NO RUST

Up for your consideration is a compelatly restored 1989 Honda CRX DX. Almost every part of this car has been gone through and replaced or repaired. Below is a list of mods and repairs that have been done to the car. but I am sure that I will miss a few things. This car is painted the factory color of Rio Red. and was repainted at some point before I owned it. The paint is not perfect. but it is quite nice. There are some chips and scratches which is expected of a daily driven car that is about 25 years old. This car has NO RUST. Some people say their cars have only "surface rust" but honestly once you see rust through a cars paint. its much worse on the other side of the metal. I searched for ~4-5 years to find a this car. scouring craigslist. ebay. and local classifieds. I wanted a DX or HF with no rust and a clean body. This car looked great before I started cleaning it up. and it only got better from there.

Things to be aware ofRadiator fan is set up to run constantly while the car is running. This was due to issues that I was having with the temp sending unit and the fan not coming on until the car was already too hot.  The car does vibrate at idle do to the size of the engine and the aftermarket mounts. If you are used to swapped cars this is NORMAL. but if you are expecting the car to feel like stock then this might not be the car for you. Clutch grabs HARD and the pedal is stiffer than stock. It is 100% daily drivable. I have daily driven it since it was swapped.  This car is pretty fast. and I would not reccommend it for new drivers. No ACNo power steering No windshield sprayers (thought I can easily add this back if buyer wants. and parts will be included with sale. )
So clearly that is quite a list. To be honest I am not in a rush to sell this car. I have worked for years to make this car what it is. and it was my dream car to build. I am listing because I have started a new project. and the money from this car could go to fund it. All the images of the car within this description section are from the past. all images of the car in the images section were taken this week. This car is fast. and launches hard. It will chirp third even with the traction bar. Please ask any questions before bidding. I will be uploading some videos of the car running and driving in the next few days. I would drive this car anywhere without hesitation. It can be driven home easily with confidence.
