anything? does the drop look good to anyone? Does the front look like it could go lower? I might have to cut the bump stop a bit.

^^^ trust me, as soon as I do my y8 head swap and block rebuild, the HX's are one of my top things to get. buuuuut
some more good news, MY....

water pump and timeing belt for Y8
oil pump
piston rings
and rod/main bearings came in
PLUUUUS i got the MPFI intake manny $30 and Si harness $20 last night

Now all i need is for my y8 head gasket set to come in, I need it so I can get my valve job done so they can throw in the valve seals

I need to buy a 91 si dizzy, sum obd0 injectors and rail, plus pm6 ECU and resistor box
then it will be offical!!!

A few questions,
will the resistor box from a crx hf work for me?
and if i get the injectors from a DA, will the fuel rail work aswell? NEED HELP THANK YOU!

DA fuel rail won't line up.
HF resistor box will work assuming you use low impedance injectors.
Why not use the Y8 intake manifold and injectors?

There is no such thing as OBD specific injectors - only high impedance and low impedance.
If you want to run high impedance then delete the resistor box.

You can use the Y8 manifold with your OBD0 ECU.

op, remove the dust shield on your shock, and i dont usually run bumpstops at all, some people cut them in 1/2, but usually your UCA will hit first before the shock bottoms out.

well if im using the 91 si MPFI manny and 91 crx si harness and 91 si dizzy and pm6 ecu, on a Y8 head, what injectors and resistor box can I use,
I am hitting up a junk yard today or 2morrow
I know the DA injectors will work, will the resistor box work aswell?
and can i use a 92-95 fuel rail off a civic?

What can i do to get the front about a 1/4 in lower? without buying new shocks right now, I have cut the bump stop in half and i have reg tein springs, maybe switch the ones from the from to the back? But then it would look like a hot rod right cause the weight of the motor would make emm sit even lower then they did in the back right?
