RE: 91 Honda crx build or what?
Almost forgot about this thread. I dropped the engine in and let me tell you wires are weird as hell. I spent days on the wiring harness and stuff. Im waiting on some hoses because when i got the engine the people cut the hoses instead of pulling them out[:@]. While im waiting i found somebody on craigslist that is parting out a CRX and i will need to buy his cv joints because i had to weld mine out remember...

I got the car to start! Woot! I bought a pair of cv joint assembly's with the boot and found a person that was parting out a honda crx SI and bought a couple of platic parts. One thiung i noticed is really hard to get is the air conditioning(the part you touch to make it cooler, where to aim and what not) This engine feels fast and no i havent bought the exhaust yet but i think my friend will have to drive the car without an exhaust to the shop because my motor is ofcourse a JDM B16A that is an engine meant for the Acura Integras. So they will need to get the exhaust needed and do the welding over there. No my friends car will not sound super loud and annoying, im looking for an exhaust that will make it sound like an evo or an impreza WRX STI. That shouldnt be hard though.

This is a sick project quad. Im very impressed for someone your age. I wish I could do that, Im currently 17. But I have no itention on doing it with my dumb Camry. Im thinking about a bmw 325i and probably overhauling it. Im thinking about getting this. [link=http://nh.craigslist.org/car/599456765.html]BMW[/link] I think about this car every day. I still gota find another job though. Its the only way my dad will let me get it because Im going to have to pay for the insurance increase and repairs. Its worth it though.

Well i got the car running like last thursday(moving not turned on in the air) but i forgot about this thread. He is going to go to the tag agency tomorow or this week for sure so we can drive it to the muffler shop to do all that stuff(only thing ive needed someone else for) because i dont have that welding products on me and i dont think i will do a pretty good job eitherway. The car sounds like it has power! Maybe a little tuning but it turns on and doesnt turn off at all and the shifting is pretty smooth but not as smooth as a new car of course. I will post some pics later because i got so hyped over getting it runing that i forgot about painting it. The owner(my friend) asked me if i wanted $400 for all the work when youre done and i turned it down and told him to keep it for whatever cool crap he wanted to put in it like an aluminum steering wheel and a short shift knob[&:] that he mentioned.
Darkfire- make sure whenever you buy cars from the internet that they have a title or atleast ask where or who you can get it from. A family member of mine was a ex-cop and told me that most stolen cars go on craigslist and rarely ebay. If the deal is the to good to be true call eitherway or just drop it.

We decided to keep it red the car in yellow is just to much things that we don't want to do. we actually wanted to paint it ourselves and painted the engine bay but its just looks bad and its 3k to paint it at my local shop in yellow. Let me tell you this VTEC is by far my favorite engine ever put into a car! I love it so much and i love the sound of it once i reach 5k RPM. Now i feel like buying it from him. I think this car might do 0-60 in about 4.6 to 5 seconds.
I'm going to make a vid hopefully this week to show you guys how awesome this thing sounds.
