hi all,

Ive been meaning to get to this for a long time so hear goes. i bought my crx back in 2001 for $500, it needed a clutch, a valve job, and a trany rebuild.i did all the work my self and for being 16 at the time i was pretty proud of my self. i had allot of fun for about 4 months when the bottom end went on it mad.gif .back to the drawing board for the car.

now things start to get interesting, i started collecting parts for a gsr swap, found hasport and bought there kit,and in about for months i had vetc wink.gif and loved every second. started looking for parts every where and found, opm rear panhard rod, kony yellows, clutch and flywheel, rear disc conversion, aem short ram intake, aem fuel presser regulator, and all of this in a blue dx with no exterior mods, can you say sleeper ph34r.gif . car ran a 14.5

now i just wanted to go faster so skunk2 intake,63mm throttle body cat delete, chiped ecu, and more but cant rember this was back in 2003-2004, i was still in hi school. at this time i was working at a mitsubishe dealer on weekends to fund my drug, and yes i drove evos around in 2003 biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif .

i know im skipping allot but i cant watt, i started gathering parts to go turbo and soon enough i was faster than i should have been, i will post some pics of this if i can find them.

this is all for tonight, i type like a snale, dont ask how long this took me rolleyes.gif

I've always thought about restoring mine and leaving it completely stock looking and see who wants to race. Boy would that be a sad day for them.

ok so when i had the turbo kit i put 230 hp and 160 torqu but that is not my current setup. with the turbo i went threw 2 gsr blocks, i had my fun and went another route.

my next engin was b20 vetc,this was a nice setup but after a turbo it felt like a ew biggrin.gif j k. and some time in 2007 i got a kaaz dif tongue.gif tongue.gif rolleyes.gif

last most recent setup is a complete jdm type r swap minus the trany, davids camber plates, bump steer kit,and more just cant remember.

i know ive been all over the place with this post sorry this is my first one and im trying to remember stuff from 9 years ago.
