Well i recently traded my integra project for a CRX project. I have wanted a rex for a long time now but i finally got one and my mind kinda went blank.. Well the car has a LS swap, DC headers and some KYB struts with some kind of springs idk which but i could use alittle insite as what to do next... I plan on using the car as a DD but also some weekend fun and the ATL motor speedway and a few other events that are coming up(Import Showdown) and also the budget is about $300 per week (thats not how much i make mind you but i cant devote the entire pay check to my project). So any ideas would be greatly appreciated and i will post some pics since i know you will ask..

man boost that thing get it tuned and finish the suspension so when ur hitting boost ur not spinning every gear.... my old rex was making 440whp-340tq and i fully rebuilt the suspension and hardly could spin through 3

Domnificent

yes when i move back up towards atlanta i plan on boosting but as of the place i live now people are going all motor.. so any suggestions on some basic things aside from headers intake and exhaust that i can do to it?? Also what wheels would look really good on a rex aside from rotas??

And here are the PICS!!!

okay i have a quick question its a noob question but what the hell im going to ask anyways....
Okay i have an LS swap and im looking to put an exaust system on so i was thinking that i would need an integra exhaust then some common sense kicked in and i was like an integra exhaust system wouldnt fit... so do i need to have one fabricated or will a crx exhaust work from the point of the headers on back to the rear or the car??

Get a greddy sp2. Clean quiet performance

Domnificent

okay dude thanks..

Domnificent

Also i havent gotten to this part yet but i was thinking ahead.. which cam gears would be good to use??

JacksonD

if its a daily i wouldnt worry about the cam gears, check out the suspension underneath that will yield you with the most fun daily

JacksonD

you would need an ls header then from there you would pry wanna just go custom exhaust it will be a lot cheaper and probably come with a warranty if you break any of those exhaust hangers after you drop it

Get a b16 head also and call it a day

I live close to atl motor speedway. What events are coming up there? I just found out the last autocross is this weekend.

I have a B20 swap in mine with a GSR head. I went to the local exhaust shop and told him I wanted 3" all the way through but didnt want it to sound "ricey" or like a pissed off bee, so he did a 3" glasspack with a magnaflow cat. It sounds really good. When he first told me I was pissed because ive heard glass pack before and a lot of the time they sound like hell. But this set up gives it amazing tone. At low cruising rpms it doesnt sound like much of anything but as soon as I give it some gas it sounds mean as hell. And when vtech cracks it roars.. Just thought I would throw that at you so you could have something else to think about as far as exhaust

Domnificent

well i guess thats it for that then... but a buddy of my brother is trying to get an autocross event set up in macon or something.. But now the event im trying to get ready for is Import Showdown its going to be in renalds

And i do plan on putting a b16 head on it and boosting but thats going to be later after the showdown and i find a decent D-series to swap in while the LS is being V-tec-afied

EatMyVTEC :]

Im thinking about going Ls vtec also.. Hmmm. Research research research

Domnificent

hells yea man i think ima try and do it myself so its going to take a long time thats why im going to have to find a D to swap in

EatMyVTEC :]

D's are so easy too come by.. And you get like a million miles too the gallon xD

**** is loud, I had this with a cat and resonator and the thing still was pretty loud

EatMyVTEC :]

I have heard way louder.. That's why I think it's quiet lol.

Domnificent

hell yea i know thats right.. on a full tank i could go to the moon and back!! this week all my parts should be coming in except for the exhaust and cams.. ill put up some pics when them bad boys get here

the1337aaron

i have a tanabe hyper medallion exhaust on my crx with gsr and it sounds good,not ricey at all

PPAW11SC

What kind of cams are you getting?

Domnificent

yes thats mainly what im looking for a nice sounding exhaust that doesnt sound like a sup'd up go cart or a big hornets nest... around here alot of people have them bumble bee exhaust and for some reason they think it sounds sexy...
