Hello,

Thought i'd post up a quick intro. My name is Greg and i live in Gawler, South Australia, with my fiance Jana. There's a couple of CRXs in my area which i am hoping are owned by OH members. i grew up in Perth however, and am originally from Wales.

i am currently on the look for a good example of a 2nd gen CRX.

i have been cutting my teeth on a very lumpy sounding N14 for the last number of years, with the mods listed below. however i would like to consolidate the knowledge and skills i have acquired and build a beautiful example of a CRX. My goal is to build a subtly eye catching daily worthy of shows and club track work.

anyhow hello, and i hope to meet some of you down the track.

Thanks

1992 N14 Ti Pulsar 2L SR20

they are indeed, which is frustrating.

however over the last few years i have seen some quite nice, stock, examples floating around. hopefully i can scoop up one of these.

haha - i thought the del sols were civics! j/k

if you see me on MNR give me a toot. i wouldn't mind a spin some time.... would be quite keen to see how a B16 performs... although i am not looking to build for outright power....

there was a silver Gen 2 for sale at angle vale a bit ago. do u know what happened to that?!
trentski

yeah no worries mate if i see ya or you see me give us a toot and i will take ya for a spin, the b16 is quite quick, and they handle really good thats what impressed me the most was how well it holds on to the road, and as for the one in angle vale i have no idea what happened to that, i vagly remember it. they also had a silver honda legend for sale in angle vale some time back.

nah don't think I've seen it, but I do see a girl driving a red Gen 2 with pink pearl getting about.
What's T4S?
trentski
06-06-2008, 08:50 AM
that girl works at Gawler body works, she worked on my prelude once.

the blonde girl, yeah? has decals all over the interior? i think we smile in mutual admiration every time we pass in the street....

T4S = Tuned 4 Street. they won Small Car Sunday last year and have been in most shows for many years. i'm not a member but i know many members.... they're a pretty good crowd, but there's been some trouble in the club recently. which is unfortunate....

i met that girl a few years back through a mate, when i met her that CRX was black and seeing as she works at a body work place she painted it the new pink colour, but she really needs to change the white rims i think. there still the same ones it came with when it was black.

Yeah at first glance it looks more like a faded red until you look closer

jem, hello :)

i'm waiting for my registration for CRX.au to be approved but for some reason it's delayed or rejected. i've been bugging them for registration approval for nearly a week!

i really can't wait to get stuck into a crx and make it something awesome. however my current N14 is a great little car too :)
