anything new??

malichite · « **Reply #31 on:** December 21, 2011, 12:36:02 PM »

Got it running a couple weeks ago. Wiring is just laying all over right now. Wanted to make sure it all worked before I started cutting in. Been busy with holiday and new born shit. Hope to get back on it next week. Have most the week off. As far as remaining work, the outside of the car still needs paint, still need to assemble the front suspension. Need to buy brakes for the front. Not sure if I am going to go fastbrakes or just cobble some shit together, or go stock crx stuff.

Also ordered a Wier traction bar kit so I am hoping that will show up soon. Depends on how fast canada post goes I guess.

Forgot. I also need to figure out springs and shocks situation. Thinking I might just go with the Tokico Blues and Tokico Springs for now. Had them on an old hatch and they were pretty nice for a daily. Will see. Money is adding up quick and this

is going broke!

Ex knuckles, mini cooper rotors, and legend calipers and brackets.

malichite · « **Reply #34 on:** December 21, 2011, 02:49:57 PM »

You have EX knuckles??? I just finished putting fresh ball joints and wheel bearings in the stockers. Hmm, I should take a look at making my own brakets to adapt the legend calipers. I may look at doing the 03 CL calipers on. Supposedly they fit the dx knuckles.

If ya find out for sure, post up I'm interested.

On my '88 CRX Si can I put the mini cooper rotors and legend calipers? Or do I still need adapters?

Has to be the hubs that are for the 10.xx" rotors. Like ex/da/dc/eg....ect

As far as the CL calipers I have no idea

best upgrade I did was a da booster and mc thats all.

HiProfile · « **Reply #38 on:** December 22, 2011, 12:00:20 PM »

If you have 9.4" knuckles, you can use ITR/Legend calipers & brackets with 10.3" civic rotors.

I'd like to hear more about the mini cooper rotors tho.

malichite · « **Reply #47 on:** January 22, 2012, 10:45:55 PM »

Got some more work done over the last few days. Finished up the engine wiring harness and got i all hooked up. Hooked up a battery temporarily and she fired up first try so big win there. Also started putting the interior together a little but it is hard to tell. Slowly putting all the wiring back in place and fixing little bits here and there. Also got the new heater core put in and all the blower assembly back in. Lastly, got the new valve cover cleaned up and painted. Next steps are to finish getting the dash put in. Mount the steering rack, come up with some type of cooling system and final install suspension and brakes. Lastly will be paint for the outside.

Engine Harness

Inside Shot of the engine harness

Still a big ass mess

All wired up in running form. Still need to make permanent grounds.

malichite · « **Reply #53 on:** January 23, 2012, 01:20:23 AM »

No, but I have an A6 short block that needs a rebuild. Also have a complete d15 with mpfi shits in it. Could probably piece something together.

Ratcity... Have you done this to your car?

ratcityrex · « **Reply #56 on:** January 23, 2012, 12:28:44 PM »

Not yet. In the next month or two I'm gona give it a shot. Worst that can happen is it don't fit and I return the rotor back to the auto parts store. I already have the caliper and brackets.

malichite · « **Reply #57 on:** January 26, 2012, 12:53:28 PM »

Ok, looking at springs and shocks now. Tokico Blues and Tokico Springs, or Skank 2 Shocks and springs...probably not coil overs though. This will be a daily so I want something comfy. I know to tokicos are really nice, but may be willing to look at others.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #58 on:** January 26, 2012, 01:22:47 PM »

I wouldn't go with the skank9 suspension stuff. Ive "HEARD"

that its total crap.

Edit: After looking at them they look like kyb gr2's

malichite · « **Reply #59 on:** January 26, 2012, 04:08:13 PM »

Yeah, kind of forgot about the GR2s also. Toss those on the list
