Help and opinion on my 89 Project CRX
ok, so a few months back i recently purchased a bad nut within a good shell.
i bought a riced out crx for 1500$ to make my time attack car
the only reason i bought it because the chassis was in supurb condition, under carrage is great!!! no rust!! the common rust spot on the wheel wells in the back has minor bondo done to it, i bought stock oem front/back bumpers/brackets, stock sideskirts, new oem headlights/tailights/corner lights, getting them all preped for paint, getting the car sanded down to bare metal, going to have my good friend Pete cut out the bondo spot and weld/grind it up like new
hes a 3 time car show winner, in his impalla, before he had it restored, the car had massive hail damage and he recently won best paint in show with the same car. so hes gonna be the main guy on the paint/bodywork
anyways, i bought a complete swap from Hmotorsonline.com bought a 95 GSR, put new fuel rail, int mani, racing flywheel, clutch, and im getting ready for suspension and brakes now. this is where i need help.
i decided im going with Tein SS w/ Pillowballs and EDFC, but what should i do about LCA's, other than my strut bars, what else will i need?
also anyone know what i can do for very high performance brakes, i am ofcourse doing the 91 si rear disc conversion aswell.
other then that, im gonna install a cage, 4 or 5 point harness (probably 4 so i dont squish my nuts in those hairpin turns (i HATE that)
then, after all thats done, and i get money saved up i will finnally install a turbo, im not exactly sure which brand would be the best for a GSR CRX, with the room issue, all the lines will be tucked, no ac, so i will have some room to play with but im not exactly sure until i throw the GSR in there.
other then that, any suggestions?
EDIT:
KEEP IN MIND I WANT TO KEEP IT STREET LEGAL FOR FRIDAY/SATURDAY NIGHTS LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

I also have a 89 CRX. The engine was blown and I didn't have enough for a b series swap so I am in the process of a 91SI(d16a6) swap. I fits in really good and the wiring is virtually the same. My only problem is my OBX intake manifold isn't matching with my stock throttle body. As for 89CRXProject I'm putting a 14b in mine but I would think one would fit in with a b18 swap.
