Nice man hit me up when you need my address! Hows the hatch? Been takin her out at all?

Jim you need to put a thread up for your car in the ITR section...

BoostinEJ1

I was thinking about making one either in this section or the ITR section, the guys in there are a little harsh sometimes haha.

boxeocampeon

sick hatch man. it looks so clean

SHG_EasyE

Hah yeah, I lurk in there whenever Im on HT and it is a little elite... I guess youd get more views and conversation in here than in ITR.

Just ordered a ton of **** that Ive been saving for almost all winter... cant wait for the parts to start rolling in and get this project underway!

Brings me back to the old Easy threads. In for this.

Dipstick tensioner is something the CRX needs. haha the day i got it I pulled the stick to find the rubber was so worn it pretty much rests in the tube.

SHG_EasyE

Yeah man... only thing missing is my own garage. Th shop is sick to use but I miss being able to tool around on it at home. Only one more month till we move into the new place... Finished one car with a painted floor

I thought you had a new main squeeze? Still working on he CRX too?

glad i came into this forum today. work on the eg was nice. good to see that you doing the same with a "different" platform than normal.

Chester Rumble

I have been driving it one or two times a week to work and on really nice days to school. It's been sitting in the garage most of the time though. I'm about to put it back in there to do some regular maintenance.

SHG_EasyE

Thanks man, yeah owning the EP3 is nice in a way because you dont see them around too much. Alot of people not in the know compliment me on the car and ask if its a GTI or a Focus lol.

Nice man, post up some pictures of her if you get a chance... hows the bay holding up?

Chester Rumble

The bay is holding up fine, just the spot where the paint chipped when the clutch line leaked after I bought it.

It looks exactly like it did last year, I might try to swing for some new wheels before Import Alliance but I'm not really worried about it if it doesn't happen. I might just pull the Buddy Club wheels off and repaint them.

Simple and smooth . This should make excellent progress over time.. but whats this meet every second fri of the month?? im in for it.

I lol'd at that because this happens to me atleast 3 times a week.

SHG_EasyE

Nice man, I think some silver kosies would be a badass inexpensive set of wheels and would look great.

Yeah she sure has. The body is almost 100%, just that ding on the front fender is left everything else has been fixed

Thanks! Meets are at the park and ride at the intersection of 90 and 146, around 6pm. I wont be at 80% of them because of the racing schedule over the summer.

SHG_EasyE

So! First update of the new thread and its a big one

The new tires and wheels came in today! 245/40/17 Dunlop Z1 for the front and 225/45/17 Z1 for the new rear wheels size 17x7.5 +48

These things are HUGE!

The fedex guy also dropped of my King Motorsports ball joint inserts for the DC5R control arms...

Last but not least the spare manifold Ive been working on. Thanks to Andre (gtimportfanatic) for hooking me up with a spare manifold!
What Ive done is shave the 2 fins off as well as some other little unnecessary bumps in the mold. Ive also tapped the stock brake booster breather port to 3/8 npt and installed an AN fitting setup.

Compared to my original completely stock manifold on the car now:

sick update.

thats not RBC right? thats the CTR/ITR one right, i believe PRC?

SHG_EasyE

Stock K20A3 EP3 and RSX - PRB. Other manifolds lose tons of tourque and pick up maybe 2 hp up top on the A3, so theres no need to change it.

da9licious

i shouldnt look at this it makes me want to buy stuff for my fa5.. i personally liked the yellow vc

732xghost

interesting. i always thought RBC was the way to go even with bolt ons. i still got a lot to learn about K's, always been an H-series guy.

any plans for a header? a good K-series header is soo expensive!

i talked to you sometime last year in front of chili's parking lot in franklin, mass. only honda i seen in mass that reminded me of socal. good job man.

SHG_EasyE

Yeah I dont know much about K's yet but Ive been learning. The A3 is a unique motor. The fact that the cams are not very agressive means theres no need for larger diameter runners.

Some guys have experimented with TSX manifolds (with the super long runners) and have seen some tourque gains, but idk those manifolds are just so ugly lol.

Id like to go either Kiddracing race header or OEM DC5R. Not sure which direction i want to go yet.


Yeah I remember... by whole foods right?

732xghost

yeah they are ugly and that makes sense about the RBC not working well with the A3. i have the kiddracing on my H22 and so far i like it. the gains were certainly noticeable.

SHG_EasyE

yeah, cant be the price either. Im just kind of wanting to run a cat, for inspection reasons. The header is such a bitch to get off on these cars I dont want to have to swap it out for stock to pass inspection. So the DC5R header and cat would be a good comprimise.
