turned down the power from 500 to about 340-360whp..
still a little hard to drive but more seat time helps.

those look like custom radius rods....to clear a giant crank pulley...maybe.

took this (well, one of the other Honda Meet organizers did) at West Michigan Honda Meet 15 last weekend. man, what a fun weekend. beat my personal best (in the racecar) time every day (fri/sat/sun), and only ran one session each day... down to 1:45 at gingerman full course, with only 136 whp. 11:1 1.5L stock head/stock SI manifold/custom cam.

And a pic from a camera that doesn't suck



I fricken love this car. almost have it ready to compete on national level.


another... GOSH I CANT WAIT TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. Mfactory "Magic" diff and 4.9 FD are really fun too.

I see a lot of familiar cars there! Red, are you running rota rb's in the 15x8? Any clearance issues?

Coop & red, thx for clearing that up

Damn, very nice!

Got kinda sad looking thru Instagram. I remember the days when people picked up project cars to make them run better, restore them or make proper track projects.

Nowadays, it's cover everything with stickers, add more damage to an already ok car, run it into the ground with no regard, add dubious mods that have no ground in sound engineering, and ignore any reasonable attempt to actually learn anything about said car in exchange for 'likes' from people most will never meet or know IRL.

At this rate, my daughter won't be able to find a decent project car when she's ready. The few decent ones, will most likely cost an arm and a leg, due to simple reduced inventory.

End rant.

Totally Agree.

I believe it is called "stanced" or hella stupid.

That is why I keep my cars and when a kid asks to buy it. Sorry cant afford it.

plus I've been hoarding parts lately versus selling them.

Few pics from a local Cars & Coffee event.









Also, finally got around to ordering some new mirrors for the car. I think these will fit the look quite nicely! #itrexpoprep

I'm looking for some advise on a muffler for my 90 CRX B18c Spec r set up, not a cat back set up. I had a Thermal R&D catback on my last CRX, although it was nice sounding I rather it be a little bit quieter. That was on a stock d16a6.

I would like to have a quiet (close to oem) but as free flowing as possible. The components would include a 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 piping, high flow cat, resonator and muffler. I'm having a hard time finding the right muffler for my application.

TIA!

I wouldve consider it but the piping is 1.96" which i think would choke the exiting exhaust.

loved the GReddy SP2 that I had on my hatch and the Tanabe Medallion I had on my sedan. both were great exhausts and had a nice quiet tone

This is what I used for a muffler. Got a magnaflow resonator too and pretty happy with the sound. MagnaFlow Exhaust Products - For Trucks, Suv's, American Muscle, Diesel, & Sport Compact Vehicles

hey everyone. just join HT and since i have an 89 Si decided this would be a good place to start. Idk if it is or not but maybe someone can direct me to the proper page. I was wondering what i would need to do a b20 swap in my hatch? would i need a new ecu or could i use my old one? would i need a jumper harness? Im looking for some genuine helpful info as i want to start gathering necessary parts.

BLU!!! How you been?

Franzo88 - clean ride, I think it might look a little nicer with slightly smaller wheels

Presidential - what did you use for mounting bases?

Sp33 - nice score, where did you scoop that up from?

I picked up this '91 TGP hatch last weekend. I couldn't say no to it once I saw how immaculate the paint is. So far all I've done is wash and wax it. I love this colour. It seems to be quite rare here in Australia.
