Ryan Basseri, better known simply as “Rywire”, is probably one of, if not the most well-known custom harness creator within the Honda community. He’s responsible for creating some of the best engine harnesses around. The guy is a wiring genius and can wire basically anything. In fact, he’s even done a full mil-spec Honda Ruckus! We’re almost curious to see what his house is like in hopes of finding a mil-spec blow dryer or PC harness. When word got out that he was building a Honda for himself, all eyes were on his build to see what type of custom one-off modifications he would introduce to the rest of the Honda community. He surely did not disappoint.
“I decided to build a CR-X because I’ve always been a big fan of them,” Ryan explains. “They have a bit of a cult-following and I just can’t seem to stay away from them. The second generation CR-X is my favorite Honda of all time and I’ve actually owned about seven of them in my lifetime. I just decided to do up a really nice one this time around.” We sense a bit of modesty in those words. Only because the CR-X he had built before this current project was definitely no slouch. This one just happens to be better in every way. If you somehow think that you’re a bigger fan of EF-chassis CR-Xs than Ryan, take this into account; his CR-X is his weekend cruiser and his daily beater, which he uses to drive from NorCal to SoCal and back almost on a weekly basis, is an Acura NSX. Now that’s love.
“I really wanted to challenge myself with this build,” Ryan states. “I wanted to learn how to build a Honda the right way. No short-cuts, just quality parts, quality work, maximum effort. Just do it right the first time you know?” The main problem however, was trying to find quality time. Being a self-made businessman assembling something as time-consuming as custom engine harnesses doesn’t leave much personal time to do anything, let alone build a car. “It definitely took a lot longer than I anticipated.”
Everyone knows building anything worthwhile takes time but what might have seemed long to Ryan was only a span of five months. It was just a matter of finding time to get all the custom work done. The chassis started out as somewhat of a crusty red shell. Matt Woodworth at Hoodfab was responsible for stripping and re-spraying the entire body in a Desert Sage Metallic tone.
