nick looks good dude. What tires are you running on the fronts?

 

i'll check that out.

nickrps - your hood's closed

 

man nick, thats gorgeous..


where/how did you get the rywire number plate? i'd love to rock one!

 

you share my taste in humor. I eventually removed the hood as any car will get more attention that way.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Tire/wheel specs:

Front: 15x8, +36, 225/45
Rear: 15x7, +36, 205/50

 

This crx is crazy!! Its nuts because I am in the middle of making my bay look like his, and my friends and I thought it was going to be the first crx in awhile to have a bay like this.. and then I wake up to a mobile update of this bay!! haha

 

 

i'm not going to lie, it looks good...but i like my wires where i can see them

 

only one beef.........if your gonna do all that crap, at least get rid of the cable tranny

 

why?

 

lol coil on plug, ITBS, and a clutch cable sticking out of the firewall........dont get me wrong, its fire, just my opinion.

not a performance thing at all, you can hide the hardlines better

 

Doesnt seem that bad at all..I can barely see the cable. But I wonder how the brakes feel. And it looks like the radiator is floating. I hate seeing the upper brackets missing (or look like they're missing)..should have at least ground the mounting posts off.

 

just me i guess, i wasnt downing it at all. I know ill never do that to my brakes

 

I hear ya, but ****...he came home with 2nd place engine bay of the ENTIRE show. Props to Jason.

Brakes feel like ****. Ryan had that thing and you couldn't stop the car. He has since switched. His new build though...well...I'm not gonna spoil it. But yeah, those booster deletes? So.f*cking.stupid. The only way to do it is to have the correct pedal ratio. And yes the radiator floats...that's what happens when you shave the threaded holes for the mounting brackets. Hahahahaha

Please don't

 

What took 1st place?

 

No clue....trophies schmophies. Haha.

 

Yea Ryan filled me in at a little crx meet a few weeks back. People think you can just remove this, remove that..its hardly ever that easy without serious issues/side effects. Lots of engineering in this stuff and it all works together. You cant just delete a booster without changing everything that surrounds it. You need a complete redesign.

 

Nice! But c'mon... a hood prop!? hahaha, looks fresh.

It may just be the angle but maybe he went with the boosterless set-up so he could fit the ITB's?



Wheels and lip/splitter look good Nick.. Any ASR *** shots?

 

i can appreciate the work that goes into a bay like that, but if it cant get used on a racetrack, i just dont care anymore.

bummed that ITR expo isnt running at buttonwillow, because nobody in california goes to track days except nick.


nick=my show hero.

 

Am I the only one that likes the factory hood prop?

 

Haha. Thanks dude. My buddy Ryan was there...I'll find a pic of his white EK and post it. He tracks that thing (I've got video of him chasing me) and he wins awards left and right.

Stinks ITR expo isn't happening. I guess Cali heads just don't represent at track days like you guys do.

Speaking of hood props...I want 3 dzus fasteners on each side of my hood so I can just pop it off. I think that would be bad *** for working in the engine bay at home and on the track. Hmmmmmm

 

I was only pointing it out because everything else is gone.. haha, to each is own as always.. just so smooth and than the hood prop, not even a hood! hahaa.

Where can I find more about that crx? is he a member?!

 

ryan der right? wasnt his car is Super Street a while back? i love that setup.. so nice, so well done, and he uses it, and it works.

i LOVE the look of that crx...but that brake setup most likely wont work on a track, etc. that part kinda sucks.

awesome car...done really well, gorgeous stuff.. if i'm wrong and those brakes work well, and its not a chore/dangerous to drive, damn... awesome.


i love Dzus fastened hoods... but, if it gets windy, your hood might blow away, and that sucks. haha


our crx, gutty, has a CF (and painted, which makes it worse) hood that is pinned on all 4 corners. its pretty awesome for working on it, but it sucks having to find a safe place to put it.

 

I don't know if he is on here I know he is on nwp his name is ATS Jay

 

Gracias Jolly.. I dont go on NWP much, seems some of the cleaner builds are over there.

This had me lol earlier...

 

Pics of the four pins? I really want to do something like that!

That's funny...this is the plate frame I have on the CRX:
