What kind of mods to u guys have???

[rpr]

Lots! What things are you looking for? Some guys have highly prepared race cars, some have show cars, some are in between. I am building mine to be a race car, that will be (barely) streetable. I don't mind giving up ride quality for handling performance. Some do.

For a short list on my car, I have swapped the complete drivetrain and brakes from an 87 Integra into my 85 DX, polyurethane bushings, Eibach lowering springs in the back (which may be for sale, anyone interested?), a 91 Civic SI drivers seat, Sparco steering wheel and pedals, DC Sports short shifter and knob. I'm trying to put an Integra dash in as well, we'll see how that goes.

My car will be a Stock class Auto-X'er and built for just having a bit of fun in the turns.  The stock 87 CRX Si was a great car,  I'm just going to pretend it's 1987 all over again.  When I get some $$, then the B16 will come, probably in a year or so.

hey rpr,

as for putting in the teg dash, you may want to ask 87hybrid on the 3rd Generation Civic Club about that, he has one in his hatch.

Thanks, I'll do that!

My car:
1987 CRX HF:
1986 CRX Si Fuel injection harness and fuel system
1987 Acura Integra engine
teg tranny
teg front steering knuckles
teg front calipers and rotors (my stockers were crap)
DC short shifter
2 1/4" custom catback exhaust
Ground Control Coilovers (they may be for sale soon too)
1985 CRX Si instrument cluster (145 speedo, yes I'm American)
1991 CRX Si 14" wheels  and tires
86 Si interior
these mods = 14.9 @ 91 in the 1/4 mile not bad for a naturally aspirated Honda that has 113 HP and still gets 30 MPG

Hey Mangled, you bringin' that beast to N8 this year?

D.

[rpr]

3rdgencivic, I checked out the car you were talking about, he used an 88 dash, I have an 87, and they are different. However, I imagine the problems would still be the same somewhat. I may hit him up for some advice.

[Krispy]

MastaDeeMon are you from theses parts?  (that being ontario)

If so, are you planing on hitting up any SOLO events this year?

[rpr]

Hey Krispy, welcome aboard! You finally decided to join us in our little rag tag group here? You have met MastaDeeMon (AKA Darren) at Tim's on 7/Dixie once. He had the Tracer with the V6. He is going to join HADA I believe, and he definitely wants to get out to the Solo events.

I'll let him speak for himself though.
