Road & Track magazine: "When they get around to listing the top good-time inventions of the late 20th century, we're willing to bet that right up there with the hang gliders, ultra lights, sailboards and jet skis you'll find the Honda Civic CRX. And we're willing to bet that the CRX won't be at the bottom of the short list--particularly if the CRX in question is an Si."

Wow! Nice clean engine bay. How did you do it without soaking the alternator or doing other damage? I wrecked an engine - actually the wiring - when i power washed it. It was a Eagle Summit (yuck), and some wires arcked. What a mess!

thanx.
the exhaust grows on you when you see it in person
but it's a bit big indeed.. still thinking what kind of replacement i want under it
as regards of the engine bay;
i detached the battery and wrapped the alternator in a plastic bag.
further i only power washed the outside of engine bay directly and the engine and wiring itself indirect.
just a case of hours scrubbing with a toothbrush, nailbrush, dish brush etc. etc.
a few hours of drying before i fired it up again
(and a bit of luck i guess )

Just a small update;
sanded the valve cover and intake to get the details shiny again
next up is a new clutch and rear shock.. .
i was pissed because i blew my shock's one day before the first big car show of the season.. and because i was driving a bit agressively out of frustration... i toasted the allready bad clutch

Looking good. Keep at it!
How many extra torques did you get with those thrust cannons on the back? Just bugging, to each his own.

Just a small update;
probably not to everyone's liking, but I like ik
got rid off the thrust cannons on the back and replaced it with a dynamik jap exhaust on custom made piping.
also added a sickspeed towhook and some d1 racing lugs.
because we hang the exhaust 2" higher it means that the car can go at least 1" lower to get a better stance (custom made coilover sleeves are in the making)
also working on custom bracing for the front and rear and disk brake's for the front and rear (262 front and 239 back)
more update's soon

no need to make custom sleeves when you can just get GC's. , Looking good again. But I am more of a hidden exhaust guy.

ground control is nowhere to be found on this side off the world
adding the shipping costs from your side off the ocean it's cheaper to get them (professionally) custom made anyway.
also I've got access to a cnc-machine,Lathe and all other stuff needed to make them myself. it only cost me a couple of bucks this way and it's a lot more fun and satisfying
same thing for the big brakes adapters and front camberplates, braces etc.... doing some homebrewing is cheaper and more satisfying
only thing that is way to complicated to design myself is your rear camber thingy
