Default My really slow CRX DX build.

So a while back I picked up an auto CRX DX that had some issues. I payed $100 for it and my old sedan shell. It came with no seats, house carpeting, jacked up wheel studs, and some wiring issues.

Plans consist of...
Rebuilt D16a6 block with z6 or y8 head (I can't decide)
y8 intake mani
Ebay header, came on it
2.25 exhaust
Paint
Original CRX interior
Some sound
Lowering it
5 spd trans
and hopefully that's it.

Found me a seat in Davenport, $40! passenger side though. but it's half my problem. Replacing the wheel studs on the front, but somebody lost the key for the grinder. And a pic of my brake pads. I got rotors too, no pic of those though. And picked up some dirty carpet for $125 but the shop vac at work fixed that.

The y8 has a weaker oil pump and that means spun bearings. (murphys law) XD
d16 block, z6 head, y8 intake. What a great recipe!!

That's what everyone else has been saying. Best D combo they say. I got all of it, waiting on the rebuild kit and time.
