Hy, my name is Simon and I'm a car enthusiast in car hatin' Switzerland.
I decided to put up a thread about my project, next to my '11 sti, a '91 Honda CRX Si dedicated track car.

I went through different cars, all hondas just until when a bougth my STi SWP sedan. hgh, the guys in my crew are still pissed..

car history:
started with a Honda CRX, modded it sligthly.
then I had an Honda Integra Type-R with the B18C6 engine.

After that I went for the hothatch CTR FN2

Today i have a WRX STi and a Legacy as my daily

I'm building the CRX with my cousin who's a mechanic (50/50 ownership). Working an office job i learned a lot from him and i'm able to do a big part of the work myself.

The story started years ago. what was planned to become a street legal fun car for track use (a tall order in car hating switzerland) turned into a track only black hole for money.

finished cage on the inside
Epic specialprojectsms parts mounted
D2 BBK









testing was in March last year followed by the official roll out in April.
The car was running for the last season. we did a few trackdays and everything went great. it's a nice accomplishment when the car just holds up w/out any part failing.
we had a aluminium cage in it with single door braces and single cross member in the rear. in August last year we went for a full steel cage for better rigidity.

purpose built

I'm loving all the areo...didn't see any pics of the rear diffuser mounted.

 

Thx

you're right. the diffuser is not mounted yet. We will have to build a new catback with new mounting points once the turbo is in.

We already did this in my buddys DC2. Exhaust on the far right:



the Integra already has a straight setup after the rear axel, we only had to go higher.
i exspect the CRX to have less space. but we have something up in our sleeve.
