Enjoy!

looks great!

Thanks

It's a work in progress, I just started working on the exterior.

My order for building a car is:
1) Stop fast
2) Corner fast
3) Go fast
4) Exterior
5) Interior

wow, that's a hot little 1st gen, I like it.

nice! smooth and clean looking good!

where's the nice style'n Seattle road grime?

Wow...really nice. Most of the older Civics I see are either pimped out, riced out, or are rust buckets with a 3 foot spoiler on the back. Good job.

looks sweet w/ the CF hood.

Washed it off before the pics. But don't worry, it's already covered in dirt again!

Are you ever on RPR anymore?

Are you ever on RPR anymore?
it's been quite a while since i've checked up over there, been far too busy. now that i'm finishing up with school i will probably try to get back into the swing of things

Hey the car looks great!!!!!!!!!! where did u get that awesome hood from?

www.heeltoeauto.com, it's not listed on their website but if you email Marcus he'll take care of it for you.

You can also find more information at www.redpepperracing.com (search for CF hood).

But be prepared, the 1 piece CF ZC hood costs $500.

seeing your car makes me sad i ever sold mine :(

Hey thinks for the info i really appreciate it. It seemed for a minute all the good parts where for a 88 CRX to 91 Crx but thanks for the site.

RPR is the best site for 1G CRX/3G Civic owers. Every bit of information you could ever want in regards to these cars can be found there.

are u running with any emission control??? and if not how does ur ecu work without it? i got the same engine in my 85 crx and i ran a 89 emission control box.. sorry for sounding like such a newbie

less is more...nicely done:smokin:

The emissions are controlled by one solenoid, the purge solenoid. The ECU tells this solenoid to open periodically in order to let vapors collected in the charcoal canister flow into the intake system. I simply connected a hose from the fuel tank vapor line directly to the throttle body, and eliminated the solenoid and canister all together.

The other solenoids associated with the '88/'89 motor are the idle-up and resonator solenoids. The EACV serves the same purpouse as the idle-up solenoid so it really isn't needed. The resonator solenoid muffles the sound of the air as it flows through the intake (also not needed).

The ECU will not throw a code by removing these solenoids, and it cleans up alot of the excess wiring in the engine bay.

In the bottom of the '88/'89 Teg fuse box is the ELD (electronic load detector). I removed the ELD from the fuse box and wired it into the wiring harness on the interior side of the firewall. This way I could use the stock CRX fuse box (which I liked better). The only other thing in the fuse box that is needed is the timing jumper, to get around this I installed a switch in the plastic ECU cover and wired it directly to the ECU. Now when I set my timing I reach under the passenger seat and flip a switch instead of installing a jumper in the fuse box.

Hope this helps.

cool thanks for the info very helpfull for when i redo my crx..... also u do got a map sensor in that bay somewhere dont u?

Yep, it's hidden on the firewall under the intake manifold. I made a bracket that attached to an existing bolt.

sweet man thats a clean setup .. wish mine was that nice

More pics!

nice 1g :) I love those cars.

You are my inspiration to keep going on my 1g. With the pay in the Air Force, I'm sure that I'll be able to get that motor in no time. I can almost smell the b18 now...... *drools* I defenitely need to get one of those hoods. I'm pimping the 'no header-panel' look and it's getting old. Props.

I can almost smell the b18 now......

Hmmm...

Maybe I shouldn't mention that I just picked up a B18. That should to keep me busy this winter, as soon as I decide wether to go all motor with ITB's, or turbo.

It will be going in the car pictured above.

It needs more power! Muahahaha!

New wheels! Actually they're old wheels, but newly restored! You'll recognize them from one of my previous posts.

Nice finish and a labour of love.I did some ford RS wheels years ago and remember spending many hours with wet n dry paper.Like the ghetto lathe too!
Got a set of nice rims on my next years restore (1990 V Tec CRX)which i've been meaning to "borrow" for my black civic..
