I've been working diligently on my CRX lately and since my last project thread has no pictures any more because my web server decided to delete all my files I thought I'd start a new one. Here's the stuff I'm doing to it now:
I pulled the head off because my valve seals were shot and I'm replacing it with a Z6 head with a Y8 head gasket with a extra center layer added for a bit lower compression. I've got a .60 .63 T3 off a old skool 300z that's going on also with a set of RX7 460cc injectors. Also I bought a Buddy Club seat, Wed Sport SA-90 knockoff wheels and some Azines RT-615 to hold it all down on the road course. Here's the pics:
All taken apart

Another one (Honda uniforms work great as rags
)

My fresly resurfed valves waiting to mate up with the 3-angled head

My RT-615s and my Buddy Club

Wed Sports SA-90 knockoffs

My turbo

My **** Probe intercooler

My basement full of parts

More to come!

Update:
Got the wheels and tires mounted in balanced (for free, thanks Jay!) and put them on the car. I also got a first gen VAFC off my good friend Demin to activate VTEC (too lazy to mod a PM6) and I got all the old head gasket material off the block. Gotta reassemble the head still and mod my head gasket so I can add a extra center layer. Aiming to get it running by wednesday. Wish me luck!

Update:
SHE RUNS! I've got a bit of a timing problem then I need to mess with and i've got a loud tick somewere in the head... sounds like it's between 2 and 3. I head it and i started thinking that I might have used the rocker assembley off a blown head i have so i'm thinking of just swaping the rocker assembley and see if it helps. I work tomarrow so i'll try to see if i can get it all right friday. I keep forgeting to bring my damn camera so i'm gonna stop by after school and snap off some pixzors

I chip my own ecus so the fuel is being controled by the ecu still. there is no way i'd use the hack on my crx

</TD></TR></TABLE>i was waiting for that
well i took it to Speed Trials at Gingerman raceway yesterday and i was dissipointed. The car ran great for the first session and everything was working perfect. but when i went to start it for the next session i had no spark. so after some diag i narrowed the problem down to the coil which somehow got so hot it burnt a hole thru part of it and probally cracked internally when it cooled down quickly becasue it was really cold out. oh well... maybe i'll have better luck next year
