TOKYO PICTURES!(Because there is literally nothing to update on the car, everything runs great so far)The A'PEXi PowerFC Commander I bought for the PowerFC ECU on this car needs to be relocated for ease of access (installed it during the turbo conversion). I'll replace the subframe bushings and ball joints in the near future, but for now they are fine and still holding up. #MAXIMUMATTACK C1 Loop High Speed!!! While I was in Tokyo, I stumbled upon an empty lot, which means: MORE PICTURES!That's it for now. What do you guys think of these mini-updates btw? Kind of like blogs since there really isn't any progress on the car. Let me know your opinions! Oh yeah, more pictures to come soon! HAHAHAHA. (This car is so reliable it's unbelievable, it's my daily driver for fuck's sake!) Finances: This post was edited by RocketBunnyS13 (2018-04-28 20:41, ago) |

And I like following this RP. Even if there is no change on the car itself! Sadly we missed each other. Next time let us know. Skip is not the only one that likes to see this little Monster! |

WELL, THIS HAPPENED. GAME OVER.It looks like leaving early and not getting to meet you guys was a blessing in disguise. YUP. This just happened on the way home. Thank God I was already in Nagoya, Aichi when it happened. Just have to get the car towed to WestKyo. It's been a good 4, almost 5 months with the choo choo B16A. And just over 1 and a half year with C-REX itself. Shaken passed just 3 months ago too. Tbh I don't know what to do at this point. Junk the engine and swap it out? Or sell the car itself? Either way I'm gonna need a new daily. "Knock knock," said the block. Finances: This post was edited by RocketBunnyS13 (2018-05-01 05:34, ago) |

Don't be stupid, don't sell your car, I am sure you would regret it later man. Swap the engine to built B16 and you will be good for sure.

If you think about swapping another engine in , you could go K20 or just do some mad shit and swap an F22 in there Thanks for the F mah dude. # saletl : Yes indeed man. # Dr. Zoom : Keep CRX and swap to K20. # MACKAY : Don't be stupid, don't sell your car, I am sure you would regret it later man. Swap the engine to built B16 and you will be good for sure. # skip : Nooooo, don't sell it, rebuild! Things too nice to sell. # radcoon : noooooooo! don't sell this beauty! Maybe get a cheap daily and work on it besides. it is such a great car! # Soju : I would not sell this beauty as well # melt : Oh man, how bad is it? Crankshaft and connecting rods are peeking through the block, so... dead engine. # Wypple : I think it's time to get crazy with that CRX. Thanks for the love guys, appreciate it. It's been a month since the B16A SiR-V blew on C-REX. Been having a hard time walking and biking to work as well. So I finally bought myself a daily, which also happens to be a beater. A daily beater. 1996 Honda Civic LX (EK8). Pretty weathered and dusty, but it's alright. Shaken is good for 8 months but I didn't get the plates until a week after I got the car, as you will see later on. Selling price I bought it for was 220,000 yen (V$2200). Under the hood? A MONSTROUS D16Y7 mated to a 5 speed manual to produce an INSANE 106hp and 103lb-ft. A week after driving and getting a feel for it, I decided to work on it a little. The 193,897 km ODO reading wasn't really noticeable as after I changed the oil, changed the gaskets and plugs and reconditioned the other components, the engine ran strong and smooth. Also worked on the suspension to replace the suspension bushings because I was gonna replace the same parts on C-REX as well. Total cost of parts on this EK8 was V$400. A week after that, when the car was mechanically ship-shape, I gave it a full detail, outside and inside. This is what it looks like now. I've decided to name her Kate. The lovely (E)(K)(8) Mandatory McDonald's initiation trip of course. Now that the daily is out of the way, let me discuss the progress on C-REX. Engine is out, and has been sold for a price of $900. To be picked up a few days from now. New parts have also arrived. Spoon DC2 BBK and 5 lug hub swap, 160,000 yen (V$1600), Energy Suspension Bushing Kit V$305, EK9 CTR Wheels 69,500 yen (V$695). Pic during BBK and bushing kit installation: After: I think it actually looks pretty good haha. What do you guys think? Anyways, next step is the engine, to follow. Thanks for staying tuned!

# Dr. Zoom : Nice civic! Glad you kept C-REX. Thank you! Something tells me I made the right choice. # Wypple : That CRX will never die! (almost ) C-REX WILL CARRY ON! Added 55 minutes later: REVIVAL!!!It's been a while guys! Been busy but here's some progress for you to enjoy. Finally saved some money up to order a full built Spoon B18C from a DC2 Integra Type-R. This time, I chose not to boost it, I'm keeping it as a powerful, reliable, responsive VTEC motor. But of course, this has the Works done to it. Spoon Sports Complete DC2R B18C. Stock displacement of 1797cc, but upgraded internals. Block is forged. Balanced Pistons, Balanced Crankshaft, Balanced Connecting Rods. 81.0mm Bore, 87.2mm Stroke, 11.4:1 Compression. ARP Main Stud Kit, ARP VTEC Head Stud Kit, ARP Rod Bolt Kit, ARP Harmonic Damper Bolt Kit. Ported and Polished Head and Intake Manifold. J's Racing Headers. Spoon Sports Racing Balanced High .256 Intake Camshaft, Spoon Sports Racing Balanced High .245 Exhaust Camshaft. Spoon Sports Adjustable Intake and Exhaust Cam Gears. TODA Timing Belt. ARP Spark Plug Cover. NGK BKR6EIX Iridium Spark Plugs, 0.44mm Gap. Spoon Sports High Tension Plug Cord Power Cables. Spoon Sports Metal Head Gasket. Walbro 255LPH Fuel Pump. AEM Fuel Rail. 550cc High Impedance Top Feed Fuel Injectors. ARP Pressure Plate (Clutch Cover) Bolt Kit. ARP Flywheel Bolt Kit. Exedy Racing Stage 3 Hyper Single Plate Clutch Kit. Spoon Sports Chromoly Lightweight Flywheel. YAP. Money's gone lol, down the drain. Cost for the whole build was double the price of the car. 313,000 yen (V$3,130)! Let's hope it makes 313hp lol. Now that the technicalities are done with. Cue progress pics! Thank God for Al's engine hoist! Nothing new for the rear end, still looks cool though haha Had take the battery off first due to clearance issues. But after that it was all smooth sailing. Aaaaand it's in! Fitment is pretty snug in there I know. Oh yeah, also installed an ARP Wheel Stud Kit. V$25 shipped. Wired everything up to the Hondata S300 Fully Programmable ECU. Topped up with 4L of the Spoon recommended Motul 300V Fully Synthetic Oil (18,000 yen (V$180) total, 4,500 yen (V$45) per liter). Turned the key. BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP. It was really loud since I haven't gotten the flex pipe fabricated to fit the headers to the exhaust yet. But MAAAAN it sounded mad and raspy. All tucked in and ready to get put back together. Thanks for staying tuned! Assembly process coming soon! Finances: This post was edited by RocketBunnyS13 (2018-05-29 11:30, ago) |
