My crx too sits, I need to relocate it to my current location (Minneapolis). Schools done bro, I am an official member of the work force. I got a sweet gig at 3M in corporate research labs working on pressure sensitive adhesives (think tape, post it and command adhesives).
Also picking up a new DD; 2014 Tacoma double cap black trd offroad 6 speed.

Is it worth updating to OBD 1 and will it cause issues for my smog? Difficulty?

Thanks Nick.
Anyone have more on this?

Do any of you guys use aftermarket traction bars? If so what do you think of the one you've got? I'm thinking of making my own to clear the K, and am just wondering what issues the others on the market might have.

I am using the Innovative Traction bars and they are awesome. The mount to the frame and have plenty of ground clearance unlike some others I have used in the past. Ill try to find a picture.

Finally got around to having the car tuned. Final numbers were 188whp/130tq on a conservative tune. Stock injectors are maxed out, running static(104%) in the upper rpm range. We also detuned it a bit since this car will be road raced. Tuner said we could have pulled maybe 195whp out of it, but reliability wouldnt be there. Video coming soon.

I have fullrace, IIRC the geometry of the suspension is important unlike in the newer eg,ek,dc chassis where they reinforce the stock setup. I had an lconn on my crx and it was bad news; the fullrace has been problem free.
