Still alive! Sitting here quietly waiting for me to put some energy into. Kind of super busy right now with other stuff.

I know what your saying......I just started to get some energy into my CRX Si. I have a 87 Si that I got in 1991.... 95% rust-free and 85k miles. Just got some new parts last week. I'm building the car back to stock with a few nice touches. My wife and I have a Honda/Acura shop and I must say I lost some intrest in the car. But I am looking forward to get back into it. I started with Honda back in 1986......and I remember seeing my 1st silver CRX Si......that was the one! I drove those cars when they were new:-)
Anyway I came accross your thread about a year ago. I read all 15 pages. The workmanship that you have in the buid is nothing short of incredible.....I am not the knower and do-er of all.......I have done a few swaps at my shop.....and I have a good eye for detail......but you are...."the man"...... and I say that as a professional mechanic/shop owner with about 27 years with Honda.
When this build is done I would love to come and see it. Maybe me and the wife will take a road trip in my CRX Si.....or maybe my 1967 Toyota Landcruiser FJ45 pick-up will be done. That's the next project after the Si.....
Take care.......Mark

I'm embarrassed at myself for not reading the "BUILD" threads.. Truly great build man.  

I like your oil pan mods. I always wanted to make my own BUT, taping and using a AN threaded adapter/nipple

along with a braided pick up hose/line with a quick dis-connect and put the pick up 'can' (per-se) wherever I/one

would want according to needs or fab design. The pick-up line/hose can be as long as needed and curled in the pan

since the baffle tray would protect it from everything moving, and pick-up 'can' can be snuggly clipped to bottom with 

usual clearances so it would be stationary. 

 

Been thinking of using it on several motors from Buick V6 to my older 1200's. 
It would solve tons of issues of clearance except for the motors that have the pump right there, covered by the pan Like Chevy and Dodge's.

Hey firstgencrx, hope all goes well with you...noticed you made a visit to the site on the 4th but didn't say hello. I just read through your build again for probably the 4th time. So few of the threads still have their pictures other than yours. Would be great to hear where your build is at today. It's gettin' slim pickens here now that most everyone has gone over to the dark side. Say hey at least, the next time you stop by!
