Well, its less than 2 weeks till the DSM shootout, and I got an itch to see this CRX run. So, in an effort to motivate me to get it done (well, throw it together to get it there ) I am making a thread declaring I WILL HAVE IT THERE.
Cliffs-Rear Engine 1985 CRX
4G63, F5M33 trans-and all stock drive line parts to keep it simple and cheap.
Now-4G61 (it was free) Evo816g, 14b and whatever I can find in the garage! I had a XXmm sitting off it, but lets get the bugs worked out before we get crazy.
Update-I have wanted to do it for a while but until the same of the RX-7, did not have the room for another project. I got the motor and trans figured out some 4 months ago, but I have been busy Racing the Busa and my Colt GT losing focus on the CRX. Now, its 2 weeks and counting, and I have a car to build!
Right now-the car sits with a short block in the back, some mics. turbo parts, and thats about it. Call the cat out of the bag. MANY things need done-wiring, intake, turbo shit, oiling, final chassis shit (tie rod solution) Cooling, Fuel pumps/tanks lines-ect.
As it sits today I have no clue what form this car will make it to the shootout, but if it gets there, I will call it a success. There will be a lot of testing with this platform before I can get serious with the power. But if it works as I hope, it will get VERY serious this winter. I wont quote the numbers I will be shooting for-but I'd look to eclipse the Colt's power and performance by a significant amount.
Wish me luck! I'll update with pics when I get my Camera back.
