Sounds good.  Another thing I was thinking about but could be too late since you've already done what you have, would be to place another hatch on the front of the trailer for enclosing it. If done right you would have access through the front or back of it, or you could just put it on and seal it like that with only access from the back.  This is really making me think about trying the same thing if I run across the appropriate hatch to do it with.

thats a pretty good idea but yeah i would have to cut it all down and start from scratch to do so but really cool idea mine is just going to have a window in the front (not glass) i want to replace all the glass on the trailor with plexi glass or lexan so when i have all the subs in there they dont rattle out or break or even sounding like shit because of all the rattleing the subs i mean but i think it will be a cool never done before set up like sure ill have a sub in the back of the crx but i dont want some huge fiberglass one killing my car from the weighing so much like every other import out there i guess ill just have to see what happens

well today i finally tried to start the car with the bike carbs and it ran but like shit spit and sputtered and then died and wouldent start again even with starting fluid so i took them in and the carb guys said there all gummed up and out of sequence and to get them back on track and rebuilt i would need the bike with it so he could get them tuned again i asked him if he could do it with my car and he said no so i guess im in need of new bike carbs

they were the ones that lilneedle was running on his

Really sucks to hear about the carbs . If you want, you could send me the carbs/manifold and I'll clean them and try to sync them for you.

Keep an eye on eBay for some good deals on bike carbs.

i appreciate that but i allready found another set from richard thanks though i just hope they fit the manifold i made if not im going to have to make another but im sure they will be close enough that i wont have too


but the thing i didnt under stand was why would i need a bike to get them in sync??? you would think all i would need was a engine you dont need a hole bike too tune the carbs he was most likely just talking out his ass

[crazi-85crx]

Good to hear you found another set ; Richard's are in really nice shape.

yeah he said they are freshly rebuilt and had them running on his car so at least i wont have to deal with a bunch of BS

[zakats]

I would think that a set of carbs could be tuned regardless by the good old fashion way of setting everything to spec and going from there, sounds like a bone-head

thats what i was thinking set them to spec and then throw them on the car and go from there but i guess he knows best but its all good im going to buy these ones from richard and get these other ones rebuilt and play with them

on another note yesterday i was trying to take a fuel line off and it ripped and i smacked my pinky on something ripped all the skin on the top allmost off and cracked my nail in 2 and hurts like a mofo and now my finger is all messed up and now it looks like i have the ET finger

man that stuff is looking pretty good i like the trailer i might have to do that to my next parts car lol i like the idea of filling it with subs too i had thought about doing that a while ago as well. means you dont have to lug the weight all the time.

il be watching for updates

thanks but the trailor needs alot of work like the hole bottom of the car is rusted the rear skirts are falling apart and ive been cutting and putting new steel like crazy but its eating up alot of time that i dont really have i want to get going on the fiberglass incloser but would be pointless with a pile or holes on the bottom of the stupid thing but i should have new updates in a few days and dont you think that spoiler would look sick on the back of the rex with those taillights ???? i do but i allso think im going to start that front end soon ive been wanting to do but i dont know where to start here is a pic of what i want to do




like should i do it all in fiberglass or should i have like a sheet metal center and have glassed sides and make molds out of foam??? and from looking at the front it looks like the front bumper was removed wich i dont wanna do but i might have to i dont know we shall see

one more thing i have a si center coming in the mail and im going to install the brembo rotors i bought in that big lightspeed brembo buy a while back tomorow so im excited

[JeepGirl]

hang onto those seatbelts for me for a bit please!!!

i have to try digging the rear belts out of my parts hatch for my daughters 3G, if i cant get them out i'll shoot you a few bucks to stuff them in a box and ship them to me. she needs seatbelts in the back because she's carting around our grandson.

oh, dont listen to the naysayers, build your trailer if you want to, to hell with what anyone has to say about it. i think its a dope idea and i wish i could build one for my car. one thing i would like to mention though, those tails you have on the crx look ok, but i think they would look nicer if you installed flushmount LED round tails. i have a set that we are putting on the back of his jeep so we can ditch his big boxxy tails. they are super cheap and they look really nice because they are relatively flush with the body of the car. that and LEDs last nearly forever, at least the new superbright ones do anyway.

just my opinion, take it with a grain of salt.

i think some time with a hammer and a dolly, some welding and reinforcement you could make that frontend out of steel. (think about how people make custom gas tanks for Harleys) it would look better, last longer and provide the front of the car with some protection.

imagine this: your sitting on a hill stopped at a light, some newb in front of you cant keep his car from rolling back when the light turns green and he gently rolls into the front of your car.

now, whats going to happen if you make it partly or totally out of fibreglass?

if you knew how to tig you could make it out of stainless!
