-91k on the shell
-b18a full swap
-exedy stage 1 clutch
-2 new advance auto parts axles
-poly motor mounts
-header
-blox intake manifold
-full 2.5" exhaust

buy the stock one you were mentioning in the other thread.


this one looks like doo doo in my opinion. then again, you should buy what you want, you're the one stuck with the decision.

Looks like a piece of **** for $2500.

That's JMO. You should be able to find something cleaner and less molested for that price.

Well guys I bought it...drove it home.
It has some issues as far as driving. Like it needs a front end alignment and it throws a number 1 code. And we all know what that is.
The car has been sitting for 5 months so I can say that is why it went bad. The gas that was in there made it miss pretty bad. I put some 93 in it and it runs better now.
I am going to pull it in my garage and probably work on it all night.

Well good thing I read the thread before I gave my opinion on it. Sitting for 5 months? Do a tune up on it, plugs/wires, oil change, possibly drain the gas and put fresh gas in it. and go get that sucker detailed. Or do it yourself, but I know up here its too damn cold to do it myself. The interior looks like it needs a clean, as well as the bay. Check the panel gaps as well, the inexpensive paintjob and missing bumper piece may indicate an accident. Thus maybe the reason why the front needs an alingment as well. Congrats tho, I always liked CRX's. But.. I dont need another car.. let alone another Honda haha. jk

No the car has never been in a accident. He used to have to car turboed and one of his friends just hacked the bumper to make it intercooler fit. No matter, I have two other bumpers I could put on it. I am going to do a major tune up...it already in my garage ready for the works!!!

Well since the front bumper is shot I figured I would go ahead and install the WW bodykit. I need to clean up the motor bay alittle bit more. Its missing acouple interior pieces but I do have them from my other crx's. I need to give it a major tune up"it sat for 5 month"... The sunroof is kinda messed up....on my way home with the car I was going to open it an it just came completely loose. Like it wasnt even connected. I luckly grabed it before it went flying down the highway.
I need to make the car alittle more easyer to drive. I mean I want this thing as a dd and right now its more like a race car. Its kinda stiff to drive at low speeds and the clutch is a stage 1 clutch...just kinda stiff. Also it has like two small dents on the body and the doors do not line up perfect.
I will be taking more pictures when I find my stupid charger for my camera, and I will be making a project log of the entire car and everything I do. I am now just sitting here searching everything I can about a b18a and what all I need to do

Its actually not alot of work. I just came back from my garage and I already have most of the interior ripped out. Come to find out its not missing any pieces. They were just there in the trunk.

O and another thing I will be doing is about my battery. Currently they relocated it to behind the passenger seat. But I am going to run it farther back in the trunk area.
