I had the CR-X imported from Japan back in 1998, was bone stock apart from a set of wheels. Has had the odd mods added since, a mix of new and old pics....

 

Your car is beautiful.

 

Woow nice car!!!! Love the crx

 

what a beauty!!!

 

Undergoing a bit of surgery...

 

SO SICK!!!!! Let me know if you want to get rid of those lens covers.

 

The lens covers are custom made, I'll be making another set soon as backup. Do you have a Mugen bumper?

 

She's a beaut Clark!

 

 

Some recent pics with the car off the jack on the new wheels, got a set of Federal 595 205/45/16...

 

All painted now, MOT next so I can get it back on the road 8)



Probably could have got a better grill, but wanted a plastic one that didn't chip and look gash after a while.













And yes I committed sacrilege in some peoples eyes :lol:

 

Dude!!! Love the car!! And right hand drive?? Thats sick dude!!!

 

Nice Car..

 

Thanks guys.

 

Very nice looking car. Good work!

More details on engine and turbo setup plz! Track times??

 

This car is shitting all over my crx project!!! More info on the fenders? I been looking for something like that.

 

Pretty sure he's in the Uk Since he said MOT.

 

So sick!

 

Car is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. What Seat rails did you use for the DC5 Recaros?

 

Thanks, it's a forged b16a2 bottom end with b16a head and GSR cams, running a Garret T28 from a Nissan Pulsar GTiR. Running just over 12psi ~ 300bhp @flywheel.

It was never built as a 1/4 weapon, my goal was to build a fast reliable road car and the small turbo is perfect for that as I'm making boost at 2,000rpm The drag strip was a bit of fun as we have our annual CRX meet there, only managed a 13.7 after a few runs, need a lot more seat time and a few tweaks but it should be good for 12's with full interior.

 

Hopefully it will motivate you to keep at it, it's taken me over 16yrs to get it to where it is now since I had it imported from Japan back in 1998 completely stock.

Here are some pics of the fenders and how they were made...

Started with universal fender flares...



Cut down to size so that it can be tapered to the sides so no need to modify the bumper or side skirts, should work fine with OEM bumper and sides...











Finished article...







I then had a mould made of them to produce full fiberglass copies, this was the first set...











I also had my original Mugen bumper copied as replacement would be impossible and the copies available have a terrible fit.









Test fitting the replicas...







Just to give you an idea on how much wider they are, in the pic I have 16x8 ET+20 wheels and a 20mm spacers to clear the brakes.





And how it looks now...







In the pics above the rear arch has also been flared in the same way, but obviously no moulds made of that lol.

 

Correct, I'm in London UK.

 

Thank you, these are actually EP3 anniversary edition Recaros that were only available on JDM EP3's, but essentially the same as DC5's with a pull out section to extended knee support.

I stripped the OEM rails and bolted up some box sections, then bolted the OEM CRX rails onto the box sections. Doesn't sit tall at all, almost the same as OEM height.

 

great work... very clean...

whats next!!

 

Hahahah, "what's next"! I've been busy driving and enjoying it for a change, but like all of us there is always something to do....

I've currently got a B&M short shifter which I've had for over 14yrs, it's fine on the road but not very helpful on the drag strip as it's difficult to get it in gears quickly. I've just received one of the new K-Tuned adjustable shifter...



I'm also changing the 15yr old H&R coilvers - these have served me well over the years, but time for a change as they don't have dampening adjustability I've opted for a set of BC coilovers (BR type) with a 10KG/5KG spring rate.



And a set of front Skunk2 camber arms...
