Alright guys, i'm new to this forum, so i'll introduce myself, I'm Ryan and live in Fredericksburg VA.

Alright, Some history of the car: I purchased this thing bone stock Senior year of Highschool, about 3 1/2-4 years ago now. I've gone from have the stock 1.6 with blot on's and nitrious, to a B16a with blot on's and nitrious...But everyone and there mom has a B-series CR-X and i wanted to be different.

Modifications are As followed:
*Tokico Blues
*Skunk 2 CoilOvers
*Skunk 2 Strut tower bar
*4 point custom fabbed roll cage
*ESP GOLD powdercoated traction bars
*ESP mount kit "soon to be HASPORT"
Engine:
*SAVAGE BUILT
*2.3 bottom end w/ high compression pistons
2.2 JDM head Port and Polished, EURO R IM, WEB cams, JASMSA Stamped header, Custom 2.5 exhaust, Custom 3inch Intake, ZEX Wet KIT

The Future Plans:
*I want to go H2B!
*Get all the rust fixed and possibly change color to SILVER "done right jams & interior and possibly engine bay"
*Build another bottom end and eventually boost her

Looks like a very clean ride. What are your plans for it? Any recent pics?

lol. i used to think "JASMA" was something REALLY jdm. but it turns out that it's for an emissions thing in japan.

 

Nice and clean. Loving the engine.

 

thats my dream rex nice man

 

Welcome and nice project. I look forward to your updates.

 

Hey thanks everyone, for the positive feedback, most forums you get people bashing it running there mouths! lol, but yea i'm gonna be working on the car tomorrow, so i'll snap a few pics

 

Looks to be in very nice shape for an 88

Yeah, that happens here but when you step up with a clean rex and duce-trey vtec swap that tends to kill the nonsense. It takes some skill and know how to pull that off, props again.

Now get to working on those updates, lol.

 

That's one clean Crx

 

haha, i appreciate that man, it's def. been a project and a half...and don't let it fool u, the car does have rust in both rear quarters typical tho, i'm working on getting some patch panels, and like i said, i'll be working on the car tomorrow, so i will def. post some updates for everyone, wasnt expecting this much interested/feeedback haha

Car looks good so far. How come this thread is titled 2 liter beast, that engine is more than that

 

clean rex! that will be one badass track car with an H2B set up. good luck

yeah i was thinking that too....

 

nice car. I dont want to be a dick, but it will be said sooner or later and i would rather sooner, so maybe you can make some adjustments and keep it from getting locked: where's the tech? just edit a little bit of the original post so we can enjoy this for a while, as long as you post updates with your progress.

Now my question for all of H-T, and in no way bashing a car but... What is up with all the black engine bays? doesnt black hold heat? is it just because it hides oil and gunk well, or you just like the look? I have always been a color-matched guy, but maybe im missing more?

Thanks and nice car.

 

Great start, nice project

Who's motor mount kit is that? jk

Engine is sitting nice and level

 

No offense taken, like i stated i'm new to this board, was just kinda a way to introduce myself to all the EF people on the forum..and i'll be sure to update the OP. As for the black engine bay, it's my personal preferance b/c the red was faded and all muffed up, Gloss black was an easy/cheap solution being as i wasnt gonna get it professionally sprayed back to red, I appreciate all the compliments so far Yea, they are ESP, soon to be HASPORT tho

Alright, here are some updates, i cleaned everything out of the inside and shop vac'd it...ran out of Dry Ice for the sound dentening crap but here is in the interior with the cage just sitting in and some a coupe other shots ENJOY

 

nice to see another Rex being well-kept in VA. You should check out crxcommunity.com they have alot of good info (not as much as H-T's search button)

 

Are you putting a stock interior in it after it's painted?

My thoughts as well. I hope the interior wasn't as clean as the exterior. It'd be a shame that you ripped it all out.

 

No interior will not be goin back in...only thing interior will have is 2 seats, door panels, dash and center consoule....other then that, just the cage, my nitrious bottle and battery reloate like i said, this is not gonna be a show car by any means, TRACK ONLY!

 

nice car, i like the blades. good luck from a fellow va'er

 

You might want to look into selling the hood if you go H2B, unless you mind doing a 2 1/2" hood prop in the rear
