I had only minor fitment issues with my traction bar and it was considerably less than the full race bar costwise

I was just thinking, we can probably use the top half of the oem header, and make a custom downpipe. Just buy some piping and we can weld it up I guess

Stainless steel? If you want piping that big we would need a collector too

our frame rails are completely different than our usdm counterparts,... that's why it doesn't fit properly.

here i am again with some oh so late updates
i'm running into alot of issues, most of it personal finances
i'm at the point where i CAN spend more money on this project but.....i'm tired of seeing cash not MOVE my car
so, let's get it running and reliable before i make it pretty and still
so to sum it up, bad news is, project wont be as thorough and short as i'd planned but good news is you all have to suffer watching my slow build as i suffer!

here are some progress!:

my good pal is nice enough to let me borrow his headers...





the black one is obviously stock....

here she is, something about a crx without a face makes it aggressive looking.



primering my front bumper....



hot?...



HOt?...



hwAWt!



traded infamous jason's set for mine.



my son's testing it, he says when compared to his seat



lastgenek gave me some "stock?" cams and a red valve cover... i cleaned it up and looked closely and it IS! a type s jdm valve cover!!!! i wanted a spare to paint but this one is almost as good as the one i bought!!!!thanks mr.B

here's a list of my problems...of course i'm doing my best to fix it but it's overwhelming so help is very cool too.

parking light comes on as soon as battery is connected.
headlights won't come on.
highbeams flick but won't stay on. cluster light not working.
burnt out both my dimmer swithces. 88-89 & 90-91!

there was an oil leak at teh pan but i fixed that.
now water is leaking from crank pulley side (minimal drips)
here's where i can see it starting from but let me know what you think...



it's right under the qsd bracket but my eyes arent that great. thanks guys
