First of all hi from Scotland, UK I bought a 1991 Japanese import CRX Si with a JDM H22A swap, D2 coilovers, lightweight racing battery and a couple of other parts for £1300($1800) off a local forum where the car has been passed around alot and fallen into a state of disrepair. Car needed a bit of work, the radiator and waterpump were shot so was leaking coolant and making the car overheat, bushes and steering components were shot aswell.

Couple of pics from when i got the car back to the workshop



Started stripping the car over a couple of days





Engine was in a state. Oil and coolant leaks, mashed sump and exhaust manifold and a dodgy hydro clutch conversion to boot



Couple of finds, explicitspeedperformance.net traction bar and what looks like a Fidanza flywheel. There is pictures of this cars engine bay on esp.net from when it was originally built circa 5 years ago i found out



Tegiwa alloy rad i got with the car compared to knacked standard item


Started this at the end of Feburary then i got busy at work an havent touched it since but enthusiasm has returned after my latest purchase. Accident damaged 1999 Accord Type R for £700($1000) nearly a full car minus interior so will make nearly all that back selling parts i dont need
It comes with a H22A7 thats 212hp & 163ft/lb standard and a U2Q7 helical LSD gearbox with shorter ratios than that of a prelude




more updates to come in the next couple of weeks when i get to work on the car some more. cheers

 

great build.

 

The crx looks like a great start....keep it clean!!!

 

in for a great build!

 

wow you guys are lucky over there 1800 for a rhd h22 that really good deal should 5 lug it and put those accord type r wheels on it! i'm in for this one great start

 

good start. that Hydr crap looks terrible.

 

Accord wheels are 17"and one is buckled real bad. I going to run 15" because it's cheaper for track tyres. I have an ITR 5 lug setup and 15" UKDM Itr wheels in my garage that I'm fitting to a car I recently got. It's an accident damaged facelift super sonic blue EK hatch. Just need to get the front end painted. It's got coilovers, skunk2 camber kits, carbon spoon style spoiler, beaks brace and a spoon n1. Only a d14 bit I got a b18c4 conversion I can put in

yeah and the clutch pedal setup was just as bad. Had about an inch of play either side. Not to worry the firewall is going to get completely smoothed off with no brake booster and I plan on running an aftermarket floor mounted pedal box

 

great start to a build and nice cars,you guys in the Uk and Europe get all the good motors

 

pix of said ek?

 

I'll get a few quick snaps tonight
