installed it a while ago.
The header still is a bit lower than the bar though, so it's not too low.





And some of the reinforcements I did on the stock one.

Cleaned her up and gave her the winter coat of wax last weekend.

I got the x-member for a great deal used from a member on here, and you can PM vteckidd about the header. His FS thread is here: https://honda-tech.com/forums/performance-45/%2A%2A%2A%2Akiddracing-narrow-b-series-header-blowout-sale%2A%2A%2A%2A-2434887/

Need more man. What have you done since Christmas?

B16CRXT

honestly, not much other than drive it. It's been giving me a fit since winter. Corner lights aren't working properly and I can't find the short in them that's causing it, O2 sensor is acting up causing it to buck unless its been running a while, got some odd noises coming from the front end. I'm ready to get this ef hatch from a buddy for a daily and put this thing down for a while so I can just work the bugs out of it.

But, in the very near future, I am putting an HF front sway bar on it, HF front bumper support, unmodded/stock cross member, a header with good ground clearance, going back to a full 2.5" exhaust and putting the built LS back in it. I'm selling the GSR to fund the rebuild of the LS and my new exhaust setup. Hopefully the HF front sway will help the rear to kick out a little more. Right now, the car understeers like crazy unless I just dig into the throttle through a turn. The bumper support is not only for weight saving, but so I can put another slim fan on the front since the one fan I do have on it, doesnt cool the radiator enough when the a/c is on. Oh and that reminds me of another big problem I'm having. The damn climate control stopped working, so I can't use my a/c or direct the air flow. I can only turn the blower on. That's an expensive fix.

Hey man, dont think I ever checked your thread out. nice progress. Glad you didnt sell it a few pages back! Keep going on it.. I think a daily is your best route and use this a toy/hobby/racecar. Shes too pretty to sell.

Yea I got an 89 hatch to daily about 9 months ago. It's been doing pretty good as a daily. Needs a lot of work, but I'm not putting much into it because it's full of rust. I hate northern cars that migrate south.

Plans have changed for the CRX. I'm going to leave the innovative x-member on it, keep the RMF replica. Rebuild the Ksport coilovers, get a full 2.5" exhaust made once I get the LS running again, and upgrade the brake booster and master to a 91 EX. Once I get a house with a garage, I'll replace all moldings and have I repainted. It's nice to not have to drive the car every day.
