Hello rpr!!!  I just got back my computer. Did you see are new Forum. You are welcome to come and start new topics. I just hope me and Don won't be alone to come and say hello. I just want to tell you that we apriciate very much what you did for are Club, cause now the forum is full every day. This helps the Club. See you later

P.S. Very nice the new design

[rpr]

Thanks, I'm glad we could help out. I'll check out your forum. I don't speak French all that well, but I'll do my best.

I want to tank you Tom for the help you gave us!

BTW sometimes we start topics in english too;)

[rpr]

I'll check it out. Another CRX board to read every day...

[CRX Spaz]

This board is awsome. I just wish more poeple would come oever here.

[rpr]

Well, if everyone helps get the word out...I was thinking of making the focus more on 1G CRX's, since there isn't really a forum dedicated to us old schoolers.

Thoughts?

I second that Tom, a 1st gen. forum is a great idea.  There still seems to be a large amount of them left on the road, although there are almost as many at Standard auto wreckers, I also believe we may be smart to cater to the 1st gen crowd a little more in the parts dept..  Get more parts availible and more tech articles from your guys experiences.  We certainly welcome all cars here but there is just something a little more special about the 1st gen. CRX.  Now I just have to go buy one!

I'll look and see what I should change. Nothing big, just names, mainly.

[Philippe Ferri]

How Many of you guys have a first gen?

...There still seems to be a large amount of them left on the road, although there are almost as many at Standard auto wreckers....

hehehe standard auto is 5 mins away from my house and I go there weekly seems like they get at least 1 fresh 1st gen each time I go back, still no luck finding a decent condition accord carb, apparently the baseplates have a reputation of not lasting, good news though found 1g with a mint interior, plan on stripping the dash to see how much of a bitch it'll be to put back in because mines is rattling a lot and its almost unbearable hopefully i'll get both projects done this holiday break

Just off the top of my head:
me
Slowrexer
retrocrx (2)
1gcrxdx
87zcsi
frank5079
mangledcrx (2)

and a few others, I'm sure. Of those, 5 have engine swaps.

[Philippe Ferri]

What are the engines you can put in a 1st gen?

[rpr]

USDM
86-87 teg - D16A1
88-89 teg - D16A?
Prelude H22A
Civic/DelSol B16A
teg B17/B18

JDM
ZC
B16
B18
H22

The only somewhat close to bolt-ins are the D16A1 and ZC. The others would require mount kits, and/or custom work.

[SlowRexer]

us dx'ers have carb options too, apparently dual sidedraft weber's make a huge difference

Has anyone seen pics of a d16a9 (i'm pretty sure thats the dual carb teg) swapped into a 1g before?

[rpr]

I've heard of that engine, but never seen it. You can get the dual weber carbs here as well...I got a quote for them, $2500 CDN...
