I use the hell out of my car. It will never 'stay' pretty. I am regretting the mess I made, but like I said the only choice I had was drive or drive. I'm a 'in the closet rallycross' driver, so the mud was actually pretty damn fun. BUT I am still sitting indoors refusing to go inspect just how much work I caused myself. I don't think I'm even going to show a high-res engine bay shot b/c it's what makes me sad the mostest.

Yeah, it's that bad. Custom undertray time?



my crazy camera setup. allows me to have a flash on and off camera at the same time.

Just give it a good detail and promise yourself never do it again. You have a very interesting a/c set up with a eg radiator. I wonder how you manage to get it to work? I kinda want the same set up. You still using a stock cross member right?

oh were you wondering if the radiator is in the way of the a/c condenser? It should be perfectly fine. As you can see, I have both on mine with stock cross member.

I cut a bit of that lower support out too and welded some angle iron in it's place for a lower support for the half size rad. Condenser still fit perfectly.

Any one interested in a primo '88 CRX DX? I can't get the a/c to work again and I've been itching for an excuse to buy my buddies perfect '88 rt4wd wagon.

Color's white, mileage on chasis is 236,xxx and mileage on D16y7 is about 115,000. Body is pretty damn straight, but paint is crap. Has JDM tail lights, eibach sportlines over blown tokicos and Si seats in great shape. Absolutely no rust and the car is unmolested for the most part. What you don't get in the picture are the Super RAPs or roof rack. Oh yeah...clutch slips like a bitch.

Does anyone have a picture of where the 16 valve decal goes placed on the rear hatch for a 89 Honda Civic Si.

I order some 16 valve decal replicas but they don't show the indicators and I would like to place them in their right spot. A clean, clear picture of it would be nice to get an idea.

I have an innovative xmember. I vow to not do it again haha. I'm going to add two fans to the a/c condenser to cool it off some more, but more importantly I'm going to begin looking for a daily driver to be my photo/trip gear bitch hauler vehicle.

Currently aiming for a more realistic 98-01 or 02 crv with the 5spd. It's like a newer civic wagovan in my opinion, which are just too hard to find these days with low mileage.

I feel like a mom looking for a crv on autotrader.

I'm all about CRV's and Wagovan's. If you can score a CRV, even with high mileage, but in good shape, you can always throw in a new long block! The wagovan I'm looking to pick up just had a suspension bushing overhaul and the A6 was just rebuilt with isky valve train, delta cam, etc.

Anyone have any idea on what size fans I could fit in front of my a/c condenser?
