I parked the CRX 4 years ago after it developed a drivetrain issue.  Not sure what it is - the car shakes badly letting out the clutch.  I suspect at minimum it's a leaking seal (although no oil on the floor) getting oil on the clutch.  Possibly a bad clutch or flywheel, or bad LSD.  My son and I are going to pull it this weekend.

 

Ordered a header from Kirk Racing, looking for intake possibilities, probably will get the adapter plate for a later intake if I can't find an actual Skunk2 or similar.  

Also going to pull the rear suspension and scrape/grind off the undercoating and repaint.

 

Install the shifter bushing kit, and the HF rear axle.

 

Longer term is to rebuild the engine with the spun bearing, maxing out the rules for Street Prepared.  I'd like to get the car back on the autocross course this season.  I love my Fiesta ST to death but it's a pig compared to the Honda,.

 

I ordered parts for the Seven last week but they will take a couple months to arrive so I'll have some time to work on the Honda
