Well i picked up a new car for my collection. She is a 96 from japan. 130,004km. She also came with 2 sets of wheels. I also own a true RHD CR-X siR EF8 .

 

pretty sweet but whats up with the crx
usdm VC?

 

she is just relaxing waiting for me to get my license back. Also fresh flint black is coming her way this winter. i did something different with her. since i owned 2 rhd crx. my previous was a ef7 zc auto. i convert that to 5 speed bseries. that had the siR front. i went with cdm/usdm front with this girl. i think when she goes for paint i will swap for the siR front.

 

Great find OP. Any plans?

 

i am thinking k24 turbo with this girl. totally up in the air at the moment right now. but more or less leaning that way. ill do everything my self like i do the rest.

 

pretty sweet (but fix your VC ground on the crx)

 

its looped under and mounts right next to the hood pin bolt.

 

Believe he means it's mounted on the wrong spot on the valve cover. Should be mounted on the bolt to the left of where it is now. Just grounding to the valve cover otherwise.

 

How much weight saving with the lexan hatch?

 

Im gelly!! nice collection! how much did you get the JDM R for if you don't mind?

 

Thanks these are by far my favorite cars ever. besides owning a NSX. no need to be we are all enthusiasts i paid 4000.00 for the itr. complete rolling shell. i didnt want the R motor because i have a spare b16b in my garage i am going to stoke. either that or k20r i am sure.

meh honestlly i have mounted it there for all my swaps i have done. i can move it but i highly doubt it will make any difference.

it was a considerable amount. you can really notice it. what i did was get a 4x8 sheet of lexan. made a template out of cardboard. i transferred the cardboard to the lexan. cut it out deburred the edged. painted the boarder. then stuck her to the carbon fiber. i will be doing the same for the itr. i want a carbon hatch on her asap. i will be redoing the lexan on the crx tho. i used too many holes to mount the top portion.

 

Thanks for the info on the weight and the closed up pics of the lexan hatch. Exactly what I want to do to my CRX. I agree about too many holes on top portion. The bottom portion look perfect. Great works

 

a full lexan sheet here is about 98.00. it was my first attempt at this i wanted to make sure it was secure. next shot at it will be perfect.

 

On a side note, While I was vacationing in Vancouver this summer, I saw a similar looking CRX with the same Mugen wheels on. Wouldn't happen to be yours isn't it?

 

no i have been suspended this whole summer so it was not me

 

Haha! I hope that wasn't truth. Whole summer is kind of harsh.

 

Love the lexan hatch as well, very creative. Looks like your a jack of all trades!

Welcome to the ITR boards!

 

Thanks much. Yes i work as a machinist as my 7-3 job. I have always been handy with cars as my hobby. Ive done everything my self. I am to ecstatic about this new build.

yes it is true, i am still currently suspended.

Car looks good. Looking forward to your progress. I feel ya on the suspension. My 3 months is almost up and it's been a rough go.

 

Thanks man i love this car. I always wanted a CW ITR. Totally sucks about my suspension but i know i will be driving soon and enjoying both of my cars. Has been shitty tho no doubt.
