I got a few photos from a meet I went to in Kaizer, OR. It was the Cherry City JDM Spring meet. Enjoy!

Re: My 91 CRX build thread... Everyone is doing it...
Its been a long time since I have posted up and I feel like the car has changed so much since the last pics.
I have changed:
-Gforce harnesses
-Added audio
-Changed accent color
-Wheels/Fitment
-Radiator hoses
-Tucked oil feed line
-OEM Stanley fog lights
-Hood struts
I think I have missed some stuff but thats okay. First pic is from Forum Fest in Kent, WA, then I had a pic of my bay in the most recent Honda Tuning Magazine in the IFO Oregon section. The last pics will be from a show I attended this last weekend. Next mod is Recaro SRD seats with the red stitching.

Re: My 91 CRX build thread... Everyone is doing it...
Thank you good sir! Its been a long while since I posted... didn't want to forget about my HT peeps lol. The car has changed A LOT since I got her on the road last summer. Also took home a couple trophies last Saturday at a show: Best of Show 1st Place and Best Old School..... thats right, CRXs are old school man! lol
On the way! Innovative Racing Competition traction bar, this will replace my Innovative Mounts standard bar and allow me to get the front end down a little lower and not worry about scrapes! Also the Recaro SRDs should be in by next week.

Out with the old and in with the new... Bolt Boys UCA washer and nuts! I also got the shock washer and nuts too but the strut bar gets in the way. So much little stuff to do. I also put some new seat in... Much better than the Sickspeed fix backs. These Sparcos are actually pretty nice.
Also, come see me at the Portland International Auto Show!

Re: My 91 CRX build thread... Everyone is doing it...
Great build. Spent the past two days reading about it. I was wondering about the manual brakes. How do you find it driving? How does it feel? Would it be alright for a daily? When you get a chance, could write your opinion about it.
Thanks, and again, love your car

Re: My 91 CRX build thread... Everyone is doing it...
Its been a very long time since I have posted up but the build keeps going! There has been quite a bit of changes in appearance and power.
The motor now has the following:
B16 head
GSR cams
Supertech Springs and Retainers
Skunk 2 billet vtec solenoid
PFAB Ramhorn manifold
Hood exit exhaust
Turbosmart 4 port solenoid- boost by gear
Hondata S300v3
Fuel Injector Clinic 950cc injectors
AEM Cam Gears
Perma-Cool 2300cfm fan
ETS Backdoor intercooler
Custom Breather tank with black -AN fittings
Interior changes:
Ipad mini in dash
Tanabe OLED boost and oil pressure gauges
Password:JDM shift ****
Exterior:
Rear diffuser
16x8" +25 wheels (to accommodate larger Wilwood brakes coming)
Hawk HPS pads all around
I had it all tuned by VIP Performance in Portland, OR and it made good power on pump gas. I need larger downpipe and larger air filter and I can get some more power. Its running out of air up top.... needs to breath better. Thought I would share as another transformation is happening this winter.

Bump from the dead!
It was nice chattin with you at PNW EF Reunion. Your vehicle is gorgeous in person (guys, you need to see the attention to detail up close!). I was the one pestering you about your mysterious paint guy. Just wanted to jump in and say whats up, and if you EVER can get ahold of that guy, let. me. know. Happy motoring dude! -Austin

I still enjoy the car, but the hood exit exhaust has me cringing! Sorry, it is just a personally preference thing. You could easily squeeze that power out an exhaust! Glad to see this thread alive over the years.

The hood exit exhaust has made me cring too!!! Its super messy, leaves a mess and did I mention messy??? Its going away and have a new hood OEM hood sourced. I have already sourced a mandrel bent, custom tig welded CRX straight exhaust from one of my tuners cars. I will definitely post up when that gets redone.

Re: My 91 CRX build thread... Everyone is doing it...
If I was to do an out of the box exhaust, thats probably the one I would use. The exhaust I am going with is a full custom, mandrel bent set up. I can't argue with a $100 price tag for a 3".
