kinda guessed that, not that quality is an issue here in this thread. you have done beautiful work so far.
that does suck about the bumper bud is understandable. u ought to throw one up there just to show what it s gonna look like.

Re: 1 of a kind all steel widebody 500+hp rhd crx
Thanks for complimenting my work.Yea I will post a pic before I modify the bumper, all of them look retarded at the moment. U kinda have to kno the process in which ill perform surgery on the bumper to c how ill actually get it to fit. Otherwise u'll just think I'm an idiot for thinking it could happen. I can't wait to get this thing on a scale n c how chubby it is now with all stuff I've added. Anyone kno what a typical crx with a turbo b series swap n cage weighs?

Nice work so far, I am actually so glad you didn't do this, would've ruined it IMO. Stay with the CRX parts it'll be way better.

Yea true, I just want this thing to look like a newer car. I made upper and lower spoilers for the hatch. They really look great, very small and subtle but they give it a kinda supercar look.(If there is any way to make a crx look supercar-ish). Everyones gonna say I'm nuts or retarded, but I started makin the rocker panels, and I'm making them have kinda large scoops towards the back of the car like they have on some of new lamborghini's. They will function as brake cooling ducts. If u guys haven't already got the idea of what I'm goin for on this project, I don't like flashy, gaudy, ricey looking stuff, so don't think for a second that I'm going to have a stupid looking gigantic bodykit style rocker. It will look like an oem part. Haha

Yea man, I'm a full service collision shop. I have a fully equipt shop with frame pulling system and downdraft spray booth. Collision, custom paint, metal fabrication, u name it. I'm in deleware county. Hit me up this spring for a paint job, ill give u a good price on a perfect paintjob that I will guarantee for as long as you own the car. Feel free to come by for a quote anytime. Ps- we are mapping out the difficulty of installing a targa top into the car, if we can do it without too much headache its goin in. Stay tuned

Re: 1 of a kind all steel widebody 500+hp rhd crx
Haven't got to drive it yet with the added width, but it should handle very well. I built it to b driven. Ls trans for good top speed, its low wide n stiff so it should b a beast. I have a lot of tire on the ground and these tires have a good stiff sidewall. The camber is slightly neg.I'm doin full urethane bushings throughout, plus the cage and I have tein ss suspension. I'm more concerned with the car feeling safe weaving thru the the highway at 150mph than 1/4 mile. But at the same time, I see no reason it won't still run 10's. Obviously for the drag strip I'd switch out a diff wheel tire combo.

I'd need details but I have people ship me parts all the time to get done. I do a lot of bikes n stuff lie that. I ship the parts in bins all finished up and everything. Pretty easy way to do business.

For sure, basically, I am looking for a roll pan for the front end of my truck. IDK how you could do it without the truck there, though.

Re: 1 of a kind all steel widebody 500+hp rhd crx
I'm in collingdale pa. Auto Moto Specialists. Aka ams collision. Shops nice, very clean, up to date modern facility. I just moved from lansdowne into this shop in july. A lot nicer than the last one, I don't want to stay in this area though. I fig a few years at this spot then onto bigger things with better exposure. That's kinda the reason I build pojects like this, I have done a lot of popular tuner cars in the past, but I fell out of the import scene tryna get my shop up and running. Now that its going well I hope to get back into it. I did some well documented popular drift cars from 18-20 that got a lot of exposure such as dave fanchers porsche blue 180sx. It was sponsored by falken and was pretty pop. Hope to get there again by spring time. I love this stuff
