Default Red-Rocket's 91 CRX slow build thread

hello Honda-Tech I decided to start a build thread for my 1991 CRX dx I bought it back in February, it currently has 294,000 miles on it and it's on it's second d15b2, the interior is all there, and it was all stock (mostly) which is why I got it

I'm going to do my best to keep this thread active and updated with my progress, but it will be slow (being broke sucks) thanks for reading and enjoy some pictures

day of purchase





DPFI



My goal for this build is a fun daily driver that'll see some occasional autocross use, this is my first honda so I will be on here often asking for help

Immediately after buying it, I realized it had some wiring issues, the previous owner put in a huge 5" tachometer and had cut the wire somewhere to the tachometer in the cluster, and after pulling out the vents to check the clock wiring realized he had cut the harness to the clock

The first order of business was to get rid of the god awful 17's for some better sized wheels, which came in the form of BMW bottlecaps I payed $300 for the wheels and they came with brand new Yokohama tires, I also rewired the interior clock and removed the tachometer



I'll post up some more pictures later, I'm waiting on another b2 block with a z6 head to arrive so I can tear it down and rebuild it

Looks pretty clean. Definitely not used to seeing one riding that high. Looks like it's on it's tiptoes avoiding a mouse or something. Nice though.

the tensioner on the d15b2 seized up and threw the timing belt off the cam while I was on the highway, so I decided to swap for a Y7 and convert to mpfi

Bumping your own thread! In a good way though! haha. Good choice on the coils. DCRB nailed it with the bushings, they do go a long way if you need them, which most of us 4th Gen guys do.

Also, DCRB, I little crack up every time I see your sig. "It's my Type R Foo" bwahahaha

That is the next step of my rebuild, HardRace bushings and repaint all the suspension pieces, but It'll have to wait until I buy a second car, this is my daily.

YES STOCK HEADLIGHTS, I got a deal on them and mint Si seats, $60 total for headlights and seats,

The Y7 runs good, Im using a Z6 intake manifold and exhaust manifold, A6 distributor, and chipped obd0 PR4 ecu running DOHC ZC maps

and ghetto intake FTW
