True. Just because they are newer cars doesn't mean they are better. Direct injection is another technology that sucks thanks to carbon build up.

Been working on my sedan but just keep getting bad news the more I dig in. What started out being just a blowed hg, turned out to be a bad cylinder all around. Debating weather to swap to b or just find d16 and do the dpfi to mpfi swap.

They where nasty eBay crap I think they where on there when I got them and the "halos" are all blown and then I just changed the alternator last week and it started to make them smoke and melt it was crazy

Dash is all together minus center console, got my 90-91 rear outer seat brackets installed today, as well as my carpet. also ordered my clutch today, bought an f1 racing stage 3 since it supports the power i'm aiming for, and i've had good luck with f1 racing before. car is finally coming together and looking like a car again, can't wait to drive it and feel boost in my own car for the first time.

biggest problem on these older motors is leaving the head off, the sedan i had ran great and didn't smoke at all but burned coolant until i pulled the head off, what happens i believe is the carbon and oil build up on the oil and compression rings dries out and seizes the rings to the pistons, which is what happened on my d15, which allows tons of oil to blow by and be combusted because the rings aren't able to expand and scrape off the excess oil. pretty much you have to have a spare head ready, and pull yours off and slap the new one on right away or you're looking at pulling the pistons to clean up everything.

One has a really hard almost locking into place spring (top pic) and the other just has one on the side to pull back the pedal (bottom pic) Im putting them in today should I wait is it the wrong set up I got it out of a 91 Si so it was weird that its different...?

I went with the red G2 paint kit as I heard powder coating can be a PITA. it is probably the best approach, but you work for it.

After looking around for a long time I found some side molding for my CRX. I started restoring it yesterday by scraping the non OEM paint off and wet sanding with some 400 grit paper, they look better in terms of scratches but are a bit dull at the moment. I think if I use some polishing compound or oil on them they'll look fairly close to new. Sorry for the lack of pictures.

It's been quite a minute since i posted something here, but I just recently did a little overhaul on my suspension set up. Remove and replace lower ball joints, upper ball joints, axles, wheel hub, wheel bearings, and new wheels.

i pressed in my front bearings and arp studs also checked to make sure my oem bbk would fit nice with no problems and it did.
