88 CRX HF going k20...a3:(

not sure, and i know it will fit since it came off from a ef 4 door (was also on an ek coupe too)

will be a nice car when done. and you could sell it for double with the k swap if you want.

i wouldn’t hate on the a3 so much, they are capable of some good numbers

k series > b series

had a few hours to work on the car. got a few things done. looking through shrek build, honda-tech, k20a.org, and a few inspiring pics, i stripped the rex down to nothing again

last pic shows my two rear brake line as all the line are being tucked behind the dash.

ill be sanding down the bay tommorrow, then wait for the mounts to do anything else.
i remove the interior because im debating if i should paint the interior or just redo the carpet and find some clean interior panels

anyone know the color code of the off white ford escape?

go on cars.com find one thats for sale and take the vin number to a ford dealership and they should be able to look up the paint code for you

or use the internet.

paintscratch.com also for paint codes

found a pic and possibly the color code also. anyone good with photoshop?
on paint scratch they say the color code is NH, i think there should be more to it

i got to pass by and see how the builds coming out…im in the process of doing somewhat the same lamone…

keep up with update pics

in niagara falls there’s this place where i got my paint there real good…pbg…

take out all the sound deadening and respray the interior white

I’m already there. only have the driver side left to do. I read that people use dry ice but being that the car is old and itsfreezing out, it came off without much sweat. I’m also looking to remove the glass too. Ordering all new bumpers/ trims and a few other oem parts.
Here’s the plan.

  1. Mounts should be in next week.
  2. Gotta find someone to weld the passenger side mount
    And test fit the engine
  3. Then paint the whole car.
  4. order my hydro clutch conversion
  5. brake line tuck
  6. order my wiring harness and hybrid shifter box

More towards the completion of the swap which I’m aiming by end of feb. Ill order the kpro and autopower roll bar

no pics of right now but i got all the moldings/ trims off. both quarter panels and front windshield off. i will be dropping the tank soon along with all the fuel lines.
still waiting for mounts, then i can mock up the engine then get it shipped out for paint ( depending on price or else i will spray it myself)
oh yea just placed a $500 order in for bunch of oem parts ( front bumper/ trims and misc clips)

You’re shipping the engine out for paint? Why?

I ment the car. The engine is getting getting cleaned up. Valve cover painted. And the tranny getting a lsd

Kicking myself because I could of just gottena use tsx or rsx. I spend about 6k from the top of my head so far. Still need another 2500-3000 before it put together and running

That’s the same boat im in lol, could have just a nice car instead, but didnt. Fools we are! It’'ll all be good in the end when you finish it

i thought u meant shipping the car for paint, like out of state lol

A few good builds for inspiration!

But either of those won’t be nearly as much fun. It’ll be worth it in the end.

random pic the two rex which are totally oppiste of each other.

And I thought mine was torn down… you’ve got me beat

Wow… Thumbs up for the effort on this! That was way more work then I was willing to put into getting that bed liner off. Was there chemicals involved?

This is going to be way nice when done!
