Default My free 86 CRX SI I picked up today

So, I picked up my new FREE CRX today.

This guy just wanted it off his property so he gave it to me to tow away. He said it would need a new engine but other then that it is decent shape. Well, here is what I found when I got there.













Overall the car is not in bad shape. It has been sitting for over a year so the inside needs some serious cleaning. But as I got closer I noticed something a little odd, can you spot it?

Keep scrolling.














































Maybe this will help to those without the keen eye!!!

Scroll more!!












































Apparently the guys brother who originally owned and abandon the car boosted it Works out great for me. Let take a look under the hood shall we? Did I mention this was FREE!!!

Is that a 16V head I see. Also if you look closer you will see the 7 pin SI distributor plug for the electronic advance. Looks like someone did all of the hardwork for me. This just keeps getting better and better.



Looks like it is a Saab .42 .48 turbo. Also has this minty saab FMIC



Not sure what size injectors on on here. Will have to figure that one out later.





So then I decided to see what other shinny stuff was in the car. Low and behold when I open the glove box!!!

Blow of valve and a AEM Fuel Pressure regulator





Also not pictured was the OBD0 PR4 chipped ECU under the seat. Looks like I just need to get a new bottom end under this thing and I have a new FREE toy More pics to come later. Have to finish the DelSol first.

This kind of thing would never happen to me . crx's go for $2,000+ down here in florida in much worse shape.

Damn, awesome find man. Rexsk8r has one of those cars...it's not boosted now, but has been in the past. That thing is so quick with boost. It's such a small car.
