Friend and I decided that we will take on a CRX Track Car project together and have some fun locally. I did some running around last couple weeks around the organising we visited the current owner to see our new project car.. and agreed to take delivery this week.

Bit of background history:

Build and raced by MUGEN in Japan in the 80s, in 1989 it arrived in Perth, West OZ and was raced by a couple race car drivers until finding a bit of rest in 2005. 4yrs later we're going to take it out of retirement, and hope have it on the track for some fun very soon.
Its fully caged and log booked, ZC motor, but we might stick either a B16A or B18C into it - however it comes with plenty of spares including a ZC motor, spare head, extractors, MUGEN cams, race gbox with LSD and so on..

why doesn't red pepper racing . com want to work?

 

They banned all rpr links as spam...


gota use photobucket...

 

nice ride.. it's a shame this forum blows..

 

Fix the pictures!!

 

WTF? why? RPR is not SPAM!

you might have to copy the link and then replace the *** with red pepper racing.com one word... all of my build thread pics etc are all on there... crazy amount of pics.

 

His pics are linked right, tell the admins of this site to unblock RPR.

 

wonder if this works

 

I'll see if I can't get them to unblock RPR

 

thanks mate...

I tried the original location as you can see but that didn't work either...

 

Car arrived at the workshop this morning, we had to clean out the inside as it was full of 'bits' including about 4 sets of driveshafts...

things we noticed: no rear brakes on the car, no exhaust, wicked rollcage and massive 150L long range fuel tank






interesting combination: browntop block/blacktop head/browntop dissy/browntop CG LSD Gbox





thats it for now... we're planning a plan of action - harness is first - getting rid off all the useless stuff!

 

Dang I was looking forward to seeing the pics as well. *************** has always been a clean site by the way.

 

sorry guys - just replace ******* with red pepper racing . com as one word and it will work

 

ok, pics uploaded to photobucket:

 

That's really cool! Sounds like it's got one hell of a pedigree! :D

 

I'm envious. Those spare Mugen cams and LSD oughta fetch a pretty penny should you care to part with them.

 

What other Mugen parts did it come with?

 

Pix of engine pl0x!!!

 

old motor:


new motor:

 

Here... :D

 

thanks... i seriously couldn't be stuffed to upload them again

 

I'll be watching this thread... looks interesting.

 

looks like a fun project!

 

Yesterday we installed 4x Tokico Illuminas, Integra Rear axles and discs, handbrake lines and handbrake leaver (if you look at the first pics it doesn't have a handbrake at all), front integra brakes and likely to have Prelude calipers with bigger pads and we got some 21mm torsion bars in there too - reindexed down one spline so it sits much much lower now.

 

bit of an update - engine is in... and car is at my house now to have its wiring finished off.
