Got new CV axleZ installed,along w/ Full Race traction barZ/x-member.
(yeah,I know I left splash guard off until some light in teh am)

ThiZ helped to align all of teh towhook holeZ ALOT!

Also swapped Illuminas to correct sideZ of car (whomeva installed them,L on Rt side and vice-versa,making brake hoZe bracketZ wack)


Betta pix tomorrow,but teh teZt drive left me VERY impressed! (flipped her around a lil on purpose) Alot tighter turn-in for sho!

Nice find

Saam

So much carbon fiberzzz! Seriously though, the rex is turning out awesome. Can't wait to see finished product...keep up the good work! And I wanna vid!

BiGZ

Thx,still stoked about her

I know,rt? (well,they're "falconZ",so to speak.needed hood,fenderZ + sunroof of some sort-so I said "Why not?") Thx,keepZ me occupied (+ broke-ha!) Will get a vid sometime soon...

Here'Z a cpl pix from sat100111,FR barZ installed + cleaned up exterior a lil (fought urge to install teh all new moulding,rear flapZ,Seibon fenderZ,etc... til I grab 3 small itemZ @ JY or ebay/dealer)


(Yes,I will clean all that oil mess up from leaking rt axle seal,motor and tranZ looked damn near new when I installed)

wow awesome work.

BiGZ

Thx guyz... Finally scored anotha set pf 4dr rear handleZ (sell em all the time,and prolly have a set in one of the buku boxeZ of partZ around here,but...)


(notice lil flat bracket uZed to hold handleZ in teh "up" position for painting purposeZ,they were dark blue-uZed Bondo brand Bumper n Trim Black)

AND teh pwr door harnesseZ (USDM 4dr,for teh extra wiring for windowZ/lockZ-same physical size though-so no modding door "hole")

Lil fuse block for pwr windowZ, (uzing rear door fuze spotZ for teh lockZ)

older Accord? or Lude? switch for doorlockZ,


and went ahead + bought driver's regulator/motor for the "pulser" 4 wire motor for correct driver's side "auto" up + down. (rhd = teh psngr side having 4 wire motor,and CANNOT swap it to left side,"auto" function built into master switch and some models have both UP + DOWN "auto" function-whilzt lower models = ONLY "auto" down for driver's side)

Bench-tested operation,plan to wire rt (psngr) window for auto also/wire for alarm roll down + up control/adding pwr door lockZ/keyleZZ door handleZ... Contemplating about doing tuck whilzt fenderZ + all off,BUT muh brain hurtZ from all thiZ wiring/relay/alarm function thinking already so we'll see!!!

^ @ BiGZ - Lights look like they have a purple tone to them (correct me if it is just the camera), what bulbs / set up are they?

BiGZ

Yes,kinda deep purple and hard to even show true color on my dig camera,I'll try some more sometime. BulbZ were supposed tp be 25000K,but they sent 30000K - workZ for me. (seller asked if I wanted him to send the 25000K,but I'm quite happy w/ theZe plus he sent me a replacement ballast w/ the quickness for left side that went out after a few hoiurZ) They're quite bright,despite being that far on the kelvin scale.Oh,and Xentec brand btw. I also bought a spare ballast from anotha seller for 11.88 shipped,juZt in case...

all-motor-crx

i was going to pick up a set of those 30k's for my crx but was questioning how bright they would be. they look real nice though on a scale of 1-10 how bright are they at night?

great job on the build man lovin the CF and all the jdm goodies

BiGZ

Been buZy an shiz,umm-like I said they're quite bright despite being that far on the kelvin scale (which confuses me when I try n decipher scales posted online,cuZ most end @ 12K ish...) Brighter than muh old halogen "northstar,whateva star supposed to be blue white" ones,but not as bright as say 4300K.I plan to compensate some by installing yellow HID kit on muh fogs,ha! (which have a yellow dome over the H3 bulbZ internally) almoZt time for the goodiez to all go on Oh yeah-changed her oil,filter today and doing rest of tune-up in da am-Mo L8TRZ...

BiGZ

Bought Azone LT warranty alternator 112911 (tired of replacing JY ones,plus added 15 more amp output) + Picked up theZe @ junkyard for 5.00 each to uZe instead of the ITR set I had:
Legend GS dual piston (same number on em as "ITR" caliperZ have on em,hmmm)

Tryin to decide what rotorZ w/ which bracketZ rt now (either redrilled Lude VTEC or Legend for 28mm thick rotorZ-or some AEM like muh 88 sedan'Z if they'll clear 15" rimZ,I have 23t,25t,and 28t bracketZ already),what color to powder coat them?, and ordering SS hoseZ-Mo L8trZ...

DCRB

i hate you. i've been looking for a set of those calipers for two years now. still no luck rex is lookin good!

BiGZ

Thx-more on da way...

Thx Lol,I expected that (Been looking for about 6 yrz myself,almost bought new a cpl of timeZ cuz wanted oem-walked by donor car several x'z b4 I noticed it was a gs model!) What kinda threw me off was the same number as the "ITR" caliperZ cast into top of them,til I looked @ front + back of them...

BiGZ

Going with red powder coating on da legend gs caliperZ,can change color laterZ if I want.Pix up afta they're done...
