After almost 4 months in the garage, tons of email, enough posts that I'm ashamed, and lots of help from the knowledgeable crew here, the CRX Z6 has started!!! It's running fine, idling well, and I'll get to drive it later on tonight!!! I spent over 15 hours rewiring this mess, and pray that none of you inherit the hack job that i did when I bought this car!!

Well, it's still up on the jackstands, I have a monster test tomorrow morning, and no time to even put the wheels on it. Worse, it's not registered or insured!!! Well, all in due time, but I'll put up some pics later tonight!!

Nice shirt! I say we all pitch in ten or twelve $$ and I'll have my printer make a bunch up! Oh, and here are some pics. Pls forgive my messy garage, and the poor lighting. I'll take some better ones when I get it out in the light. http://www.zerodragtuning.com/debris/D16Z6.JPG

Here's the engine bay, there is still some wiring to wrap/loom...
http://www.zerodragtuning.com/debris/jackstands.JPG
Like I said, I haven't even had time to put on the wheels, cuz o' my school schedule and a monster test tomorrow. Below are the wheels I got for it. I also have to replace the suspension with my new Progress springs and KYB shocks... http://www.zerodragtuning.com/debris/breakers.jpg
BTW, here is the mods/equipment list:
Z6 motor
ZC LSD trans
Centerforce dual friction clutch
Konig intake
DC sports headers
Tenzo axle back exhaust
No cat (came that way, dunno who would take the chance on pulling it...)
Currently Intraxx springs/stock shocks, but getting progress springs/KYB Gr-2's.
Ebay front and rear upper and rear lower strut bars (yeah yeah, I know...)
PM6 ECU
Blitz front bumper
shaved door handles
some cheap alarm...
My plans are 3" exhaust w/ hi flow cat
Homemade turbo setup boosting only 6-8 psi until I get more funds to do block work...
Custom CF 4 pin, hingeless hood ( I have a friend who molds CF for some military contractor type company...)
put door handles back in!!

It's a DX, thus all the wiring issues due to having to work over someone else's botched MPFI swap. It's been repainted though...

The paint is a metallic charcoal. It looks good in most places, but the car used to be white and I really hate the way it looks whenever I open the doors/hatch. Also, they shaved the door handles and it looks like crap. The up side is that I don't think that they actually cut and welded, it just looks like it's filled with bondo, so I'm gonna bust it back out and put in sedan rear door handles and go with keyless entry. I think that looks cleaner than a shave job, personally.
Also, Dumped91hatch, the wheels are Rage wheels, made by Lightwheel. I think they look really hard on the car, but I don't know how much they weigh. They definitely don't look like slips, or anything else that I've seen. I'm an authorized dealer for them, and I can hook you up fat with a set if you want. Lemme know, always glad to save a fellow 4th genner a buk or two!

BTW, I recently moved from UT, where Kris is, to Kentucky, where I find myself at now....
