Default MY CRX should be running sooon!!

MY buildup is finally starting to come together. I bought my 88 CRX HF 11/28/04 and have been slowly working on it since. I got it with a blown headgasket, broken timing belt, no wheels, a vented hood, and a bunch of riced out sh... )like the homemade painted supra style rail lights )
The motor is being dropped now. It is...
B16A, AEBS intake mani., BBK 62mm TB, Fidanza flywheel, NKK clutch, CTR N1 pulley, Megan header (w/ 2 02s), and a PR3. I'm using LS knuckles, axles, tranny, brakes and rotors.
I had to call Hasport today to get the subharness overnited, but other than that there have been no seriouse hangups, other than I'm missing 3 pressure plate bolts. Hopefully I can have some pics up soon.

Yeah, I have nothing back No exhaust, my stock cat and midpipe is laying on my porch. I will be taking it straight to the muffler shop. I plan on running the 18" polished magnaflow w/ 2.5" piping and resonator.

Thanks, found a caliper this morning.

Has anyone else noticed that after installing the Integra hubs the turning radius gets alot bigger (wheels turn alot deeper) in the front??

Also, fo ranyone that was wondering, with the N1 pulley you do definately need the 92 Acura Vigor power steering pump belt.

Well, ended up buying two calipers (might as well make it all brand new), breaks look good, they fill up the 14" wheel. But I'm pretty much at a stopping point until my Hasport subharness gets here on Fri, along with my Pressure Plate Bolts from Honda ($5 each )

Well, I finally was able to crank my car today WOOHOO. Completely dead for 3 years, and it finally woke up.

I only let it idle for a few minutes, no leaks, idles smooth at about 1k, due to intake mani/tb combo. Sad part is I bought a dead *** PR3 for it off ebay. It wouldn't crank, I borrowed another guys PR3 and it crunk right up, so I'll be using his. I'll probably just swap to OBDI now.
Also, I have to cut my crossmember tomorrow to connect the seconf half of my header, she should be driveable hopefully tomorrow-straight to the muffler shop

Props to the crew I have dropping the motor
