good job ryan keep it up i caint wait to see this in the spring
thanks bro, whats going on with your car? you want some help and do u still need the usdm hood and bumper i have?
yes i still need them i gotta get the money and i have my car completely sanded rite now and im hopeing to lay some primer soon
Nice dude did you fix your quarterpanel up nice. I know that was a mess.
yeah im in the proscess of fixing it now tomarrow im gonna go out and buy a cheese grader so its easer to sand the bondo/glass
man i cant wait to see the out come of this. being so far away from my car is giving me the itch to tear it down one last time and after seeing this inspiring crx (usually not my taste)
keep it up
Thanks man, i cant wait for it to be done too. That crx is not my taste but the jdm front and the clean ass interior are a huge plus on that car.
I finally got the right shim from honda for the Quaife Diff install.
The clearance without the shim was 1.067mm and the spec is between .00 and .10 so I purchased a 1.00mm shim from honda, leaving me with .067 clearance.
Installed
I didnt put the case together on because I didnt pick up rtv or hondabond yet.
Lookin good man. I havent looked at your thread in a while, wish the heater in my garage actually threw heat. Cant wait until it starts to warm up
Thanks bro. I can’t wait for the warm too. I’m getting sick of this winter shit.
I fixed my wavy hatch today.
Got the case on the transmission today with fv8s, the input shaft spins perfectly as well as the diff with the new shim. I also cleaned it up alot. Im happy with it and I should be getting the engine off of the stand and get the clutch and trans bolted up ready for it to go in at the end of the month after the car is painted hopefully.
I ordered wheelbearings, inner/outer tie rods, and skunk 2 upper control arms so the suspension can also go right in after paint. This should go together pretty quick after I have the car in color. Waiting to get it painted and final prep work is really killing me right now.
You’ll regret getting the upper control arms
reason being? im not trying to put rim in my wheel well. I want a good alignment and I want more than half of my tire to touch the road lol
Got my inner, outer tie rods, as well as my new koyo wheel bearings. Also got new lower ball joints.
Finally got my Skunk 2 Upper control arms
And then installed everything, I couldn’t put the hubs in yet because I lost my snap rings for my wheel bearings so I am waiting for those to come in.
Im still trying to find a booth to paint it unfortunatly so my car is just sitting ready to be sprayed…
great job bro, keep up the amazing work, i can’t wait to see this car come summer, im so stoked!
Just dropped off the doors, fenders, hatch, sunroof panel, hood, and both bumpers to the guy painting my car. Hes working on those and the shell is going there in a week or two. Its costing me a little more than I wanted to spend but if anyone has seen how Pauls car at swerve came out you would want this guy to paint your car too.
Good work!
looking good my man
Thanks man
I put the rear suspension on yesterday as well as 90% of the front. Im waititng for the bushings to come in for my front lower control arms and then the car will be a full roller. After I get it full rolling Im going to put my car on my next door neighbors trailor (seth13). Then the car is going for paint.
I took some pictures of the car in primer and the suspension. I forgot to take pictures of the rear before I put the wheels on but everything is blasted and painted with brand new everything.
That will be all of the updates until I get the car back from paint. Should be a week and a half to two weeks.
Looks great!
