Default My 92 CX Hatch 85x89 Baby

Whats good everyone, I'm Mike and this is my hatch. Its far from being the nicest here on the site, but I dont think its terrible and its definately a blast to drive. Comments welcome.......good or bad.
Sorry for the huge pics.


































MOTOR SPECS

HEAD
Stock port ITR
Skunk2 Springs & Retainers
Skunk2 Stage2 Cams
AEM Cam Gears

BLOCK
GSR block bored to 85mm
AEBS Sleeves
Eagle Rods
CP 12.5.1 Pistons
LS Crank for 89mm of stroke
OEM bearings

TRANS
98 Spec ITR w/ LSD
4.7 Final Drive
ACT 6 Puck Clutch
Fidanza Flywheel

MISC
ITR Intake manifold
ITR Throttle Body
DTR/SSR Header
AEM EMS

The cars is sitting at 215whp and 153tq with a conservative tune. Cam gears are still both set at 0, so I'm pretty sure there is still more power to pull out of it. All tuning was done on a Dynojet.

Yeah, the car really doesnt come out all that much. I have a 99 Civic coupe that I roll on the daily. My cars only out for photoshoots, or every now and again weekends. I try to keep the mileage on the build to a minimum.

I used to live in AZ, and a buddy worked at a shop out there called Apex Motorsport. He does all my tuning.

Now that I'm out here in Chicago the car runs a lil richer, so thats something I'm gonna have to take care of soon.

The thing that sucks is you got some OG rims but due to so many fakes out there rockin these, it has become played out.

If they were a different color, it would look "toite"

Other then that, the car looks good man.

Just want to tell everyone thanks for the positive replies so far. I've read some threads that just blow up with negativity, lol.

Some future plans for the car are some different rims, stock front lip, and then I'd like to send the head out for a lil P&P. After that I'll upgrade the cams to the Pro2's. When all is said and done I'll be happy with @ 250whp.

I wouldnt say that. I luv the drag strip, but the wife and I just had a baby so there's not much time for that these days. Maybe as he gets a lil bigger I'll be able to head out again.

I bet the car looks good inperson. In pictures, the wheels are a bit too small and yes needs an oem lip. Great results on the tune though. Stock fuel system?

Yeah, thats why I'm gonna be picking up some different rims. The Sprint Harts are only 14's.

All I have done fuel wise is a Walbro 255 pump and RC440 injectors. The injectors are running about 70% duty cycle at this point.
