Beater is right, that thing is in rough shape on the outside.

I like the direction you're goin with it though. How much u pay for it again?

 

Yeah shes in rough shape.. shes running pretty well though now. hard to find a halfway clean crx over here on the east coast. It seemed like a good deal considering it had a swap, some suspension, decent audio system(not into audio stuff but can always flip for some money back)... wish I would have dug into it a little more at the owners house b/c i would have talked down the price a little but it was cold and late/dark by the time i made it to the guy... it is what it is now.. cant bitch about the price, gotta work with what I got. thanks for the compliment. Posted some pics of the other crx also in there..

 

You sure you don't want to get rid of that CRX and buy my 4wd wagon? Hmmmm? Haha. I'm thinking about selling it again. Zero rust on this bad-boy!

 

i will never buy another car under those circumstances again!

 

Ah yes, but it's a great way to trade a car into the dealer (I did this with my ex-wife's eclipse years ago).

 

Im going with the full race radiator as well, but they ran out of them at full race so it'll be a couple more weeks before i'll get mine. I think im going to have to cut the welded supports on my bar too. I started installing mine last nite and the stock radiator sticks up on one side. Enough that i cant get the upper bracket on, on one side.

 

Nick- I would have definitely taken that wagon off your hands and still may if its around by the time I make it out to California. I would throw a stock B20 from a crv in it and tow my other crx!

As for the condition of the car.. the price I got it at seemed decent for the motor set-up and suspension. I dont mind doing the work, I enjoy it... just have to get it done before it gets too cold outside.

Teal- Heres a picture of what I had to cut out, I decided to weld it back up to avoid any noise of it rattling together and also wanted to make it just as strong... sorry I dont have any pics wit the rad mounted in there.



Im sure you get the idea though.. I only cut half b/c im only running half rad obviously. Only complaint with the bar was that.. but not a big deal, my fault for not test fitting before painting the bay. that and the powder coat is kinda weak on it..

 

back from the dead

 

awesome ill keep that in mind when i get my radiator. We both seem to be having the same problems with everything that we have installed lol, so im sure ill be doing the same thing. but i finished installing the bar tonite. i had zero issuses with the powdercoating, but i did scratch the hell out of the paint in my bay around the towhook area because it was such a tight fit to get it mounted.

 

I wish I had the skills and tools to make all these parts, hydro bracket, traction bar, roll cages... I feel like every car has its differences. building to fit would be easier than trying to get something that is supposed to fit to actually fit. .... Someday

 

Hey guys, trying to find info on EF AWD conversions. May possibly get the job to do the conversion ('91 EF 4 door D-Series with wagonvan drivetrain). Did the search, but haven't found it, and I know its hear. Can anyone save me some time and shoot me a link. Thanks.

 

Epic tuning is the one that did it. You might have luck with that.

Just got done doing front and rear wheel bearings, hopefully that fixes the vibration and noise.

 

Wheel bearings fixed the issue. Now just waiting on a couple things before I can drive/autocross it.

Goofing around while doing the bearings:




And because im new in to the EF world here is the car im replacing:

 

looks like you are fond of the white and black theme.

 

been a week of buying parts:

itr header
valve seals
head gasket
lost motion assembly
timing belt
oil pump
water pump
cam seal
cam shaft oil seal
valve cover gasket kit
buddy club spec 3+ cams

hope to have the car running soon

 

Haha, yeah. Any Honda iv owned for more than a year has been white.

Cant wait to get the suspension straightened out on it. Not sure if im going to keep the RB's the Z6 doesnt have the power the H22 does.

 

Nice man.. looks like you went overboard with your original ideas! go hard or go home! keep us updated... I dont see head studs on that list though.

 

I bet that 4-door is fun. Glad you're joining the EF/ED world, but why replace that sweet 4-door?

 

No a/c. Its just turned into a money pit as well.

Im an avid autocrosser and wanted a slower car to drive faster. (as dumb as that sounds). Im also in college and pinching pennies, and the hatchback gets awesome gas mileage.


I autocross with this guy from time to time.

 

New to the Honda game and to Honda-Tech. I just bought this stock a couple months ago, and so far I've only done minor touch ups and put some wheels on it. I plan on doing a lot more once there's some cash flow coming my way. Any suggestions?

 

^^^sorry for the huge pictures

 

Clean hatch dude!

 

Happy Thanksgiving guys, and for those that are traveling be safe!

 

Took these the day she brought it home.

 

Thanks

bahaha, I look so unhappy in all the rest of the photos
