Howdy. I was sent over here by an acquaintance who said you guys tend to know your stuff. So... here I am. Current project: '91 Civic EX, (four door), five speed, other assorted crap. Just bought it. I wrecked my other one ('91 Civic LX five speed, four door, ZC swap. 14.3 in the quarter, NA) a year and a half ago and I was fiending for a new project. I plan on going back with a ZC... but have been debating on whether or not I want to go with boost. Probably will. Looking to build an SCCA daily driver. Exciting, huh?

However, I have a dilemma; I have recently purchased rear trailing arms, calipers, and all that from a CRX Si. I'm sandblasting and powdercoating them this weekend, then installing them (or trying to) the following weekend. My question is... what all is involved with putting those on a sedan? I know the trailing arm itself is different... but that's to be expected. Anyone know how to do it... or have a place where I can find out? I was hoping to have it done in a day or so.

Thanks in advance. Looks like a good place ya'll have here.

Welcome, sounds like you have a job ahead of you. Try the EF CRX forum. Thia is talked about all day in there. Good luck.

 

welcome, come to my BBQ! just make sure you bring somethin

 

Welcome

 

Hilo......

 

hello
good luck with your project

 

what's up , 4 door's are gay!! j/k ef's own

 

hi. you said your boosting? the ZC? or what else are you considering to drop in your car?

 

Well... I was going to lower the compression in the ZC... maybe go that route. But, I really doubt it. I have a head guy down in NC who says he can work wonder for me so I may go with cams/head and 'puter/FI work. Then, when/if I still have the boostbug, I'll yank the stocker D16A6 and boost the nuts out of that. You know, drive the stock engine until the ZC is built, drive the ZC until the turbo motor is built. One of the guys I work with has talked me into the Accel DFI computer which will work with either engine. But, as I want to do the suspension first, I'm not trying to dump $1500 into wires and crap.

Hmm... I need to go find some 4th gen info...

 

my 1st car was a 89 civic dx 4dr. what sucked was that the rear setas didnt fold down. the car flipped over 3 times and the rear trunk was smashed in but, those jdm 1 pc headlights are cool

 

good stuff. my 1stcar was a 89 civic dx 4dr. it was kool, except for the fact that the rear seats didnt fold down. i had a hella hard time trying to take out my stuff when the trunk was smashed in jdm 1pc headlights are kool though.

 

Thanks again for the welcome guys... you'll probably be seeing a bunch of me. I'll be hip-deep in this car for awhile.
