havent posted forever, update on my cars..

[91civicDXdude]

well i used to post here all the time, but havent had time lately.

anyways, i just thought i'd update all of you that remember me on my current honda projects. I used to own a 91 civic DX hatch that went through about 7 engines, the most glorious being a d16y7/z6 with 14b @ 10psi, comp 59300 cam. Anyways, last winter, i sold it and bought an 89 4 door LX civic for my daily driver. soon after, i got a beater 89 CRX for very cheap that im turning into my track only drag car (see below). About 3 weeks ago, i sold the 89 4 door LX and bought my new daily driver, 94 del sol VTEC (see below). enjoy, and LONG LIVE HONDA POWER !!

Nice... so I guess you got rid of the B18 DX hatch?

[91civicDXdude]

yea that was my 91 DX... in order, it had D15B2, D16Z6, B18A1, D15B1/Y7 mini, D15B2/Z6 mini, D16Y7/Z6 mini turbo, B18A1. I loved it... it was my first car, but i just wanted to start something new...

[turtlecrxsi]

You've almost had as many engines in one car as cars I've had... LOL...

[91civicDXdude]

thats why i wanted to get rid of it... i was tired of it, and plus since it was my first car, there was a lot of things that i wish i had done differently in the beginning, so i started over with another and im doing things right from the start

I am thinking about getting me a del sol and turning my CRX into a road course car cause like you said it is time to do something different. I thought about dragging it but i think i would have more fun on a road course.

i love that rex! i like the way it looks the way it is man.. BEASTY i eventually wanna get myself a del sol. drop a jdm h22 and do a 00 si civic front end conv with jdm headlights paint the car silver. nice projects keep us posted

[mpcivicfb88]

that rex looks bad ass. keep up the work on it. lookin good

[91civicDXdude]

I havent worked on the rex lately since i got the del sol.. i was on a big race car kick there for a while, but it got boring doing all this work to a car and not being able to enjoy it (i.e. drive it around). I havent really set a deadline as to when it will be finished, just so i dont feel pressured.

And for a little update, today i removed the AC on the del sol; it needed charging and i prefer to drive top down anyways, redid some grounds and various wiring, and cleaned up the engine bay a little bit.
