Since the Kakabox build thread is getting rather long (winded), I thought it might be nice to make a companion thread that would have links to some of the more interesting posts from the main build thread. This way all you'd have to do is search on "Kakabox Index" and then click on the link to get to the topic you'd like to review.

I'll add to the index as the build thread continues...

Tried sending a message to kakabox via PM - it won't go through.

I have one of your shifters it's great! Just been busy with the fires near my new house here in Australia but I am ready to push on with the build now.

Any chance you can put together one of those no slop shift linkages for me too?

Let me know.

Cheers!

No...sorry I did not.
Too lazy to do one now... blush.gif

If and when I do the B18C1 or C5 swap I promise to do a full 'Kakabox' write up on the swap process...including the wiring.

J.

FWIW, I updated the Kakabox build index to include the front air dam (item 70.), the adjustable roof spoiler (item 71.) and the v2.0 extractor hood (item 53.)

Cheers!

I really appreciate you keeping this thing up to date kaka. I have sourced many how-too's here and this index reeeally helps. I'm on the hunt right now for how YOU went about the poly fill motor mount mod. I've done my own version before, but wanted to see what the K-box method was before I do it again for my newest CRX. Just wanted to say thanks. This is a great resource!!

Cool guys!
I'm glad to hear this index is useful.

I just updated the index to reflect the new spherical bearing front suspension, 29mm torsion bars, a link to the bump steer install, and cleaned up some of the hardware listings to include links to their installs.

Thanks,
J.
