Default New EF guy.....

I started out with this until I blew it up with a nitrous



I now own this 88hf CRX with a dohc zc that has perfect compression. Its having a turbo setup made for it as we speak. Im hoping for 200hp on the stock internals for now until I can buy some pistons and rods. I also have a set of Rota GT3 in black with a polished lip waiting to be put on once the car is done.




Im going to run a brand new Mitsu 17c turbo with a t4 exhaust housing and v-band for the downpipe.





For suspension im looking into buying some omnipower coilovers. I'm pretty new to the whole honda tuner scene but not the scene. Been trying to figure things out on this site and so far its working out. I will post more when the car is finished.

Good choice on the ZC :D You should be able to pull off 200hp on stock internals just as long as you have it tuned well. Check out http://www.thezcr.com for all your ZC needs. There are a few guys on there running some pretty sweet setups on ZC's. Best of luck to you!

Even better choice on car, that right there is the lightest EF produced.

Good setup on the car, the only thing about the suspension you wanna run is that eveybody says it doesn't go low enough in the front. Not sure if omnipower worked that out though yet.

Only one tail light is 90-91 the other that you can't see is 88-89. I bought it that way. So does the front on the Omnipower sit higher then the rear? I won't be buy the suspension right now but later on when I have researched my options more. What strut/spring comb is good for daily driving and weekend track racing? Also, where can I purchase poly insert kit for the CRX? The energy suspension one. Thanks for the help

Omni is a decent setup, but if you want to do a little track time, and don't mind a more solid ride, go for the sport set, if you really want the omni set.

But it looks like you have some $ to spend, judging from your previous car, so you might want to get something a little more substantial like Tein Flex, or some other brand of fully adjustable coilover.

Modacar is a good online shopping window.
summitracing has just about everything regarding small parts, gaskets, bushings etc you could possibly need.
