Ryan-11 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Thats awesome! V-tec FTW! just need to bang a turbo on it now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan5793 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 i like it exhaust looks awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 Yeah it's addictive but not in this weather! I've got a TD05'd Glanza and a TD04'd GT, so I think it's safe to say I am ok in the turbo department for now. Insurance is a killer, the cheapest I found was £2200. I'm going to cancel it tomorrow though and take it off the road all being well, I should get the deposit back as it's within 14 days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Misterdan88 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 ive always wanted 1 of these! or a civic EF with a b16 in lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 nice one mate, those dodgey fitted eg fogs need binned though. if there fitted properly they look really good but those look squashed in. i had a minter of a crx vt a few years ago. it only had 27k miles on it when i bought it. the teg handles better though.

Keri-WMS Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I do like them.....I've got a cople of EG Civic hubs to do a kit for, not sure if this shape is the same though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Worth a go to see what the hypes like . I just couldnt get into the whole vtec thing and i had 2 just to make sure lol.I take it the CRX handles as good as any other Honda ?I've still got the Glanza and the GT so it's all good for boost. I haven't planted it around corners, the roads are damn and the wheels and tyres are rubbish. He sold the old wheels on the car separately but I'll fit something nice when funds allow.She will be taken off the road tomorrow and hopefully the GT will be out!

Idrees Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Haha, she will be getting some loving while she's parked up. The piston rings are on their way out so I'll whip the engine out and give it a full overhaul. My mate is selling a B16 with CTR pistons, Spoon headgasket, Skunk2 cams and some other bits so I could alternatively but that but we will see what funds allow!

Idrees Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Finally, some progress on the Honda.The engine was smoking quite badly due to suspected piston rings, just what I was told by the previous owner but I never carried out a compression test to confirm - it could have been the stem seals. After weeks of searching, I got my hands on a low mileage B16A2 (65k) so we set about fitting that this weekend.Looking sorry for herself, months of dust gathered.This is how the engine looked for a while as I removed and sold the cylinder head a while ago.An engine crane made things a lot easier for us.New engine.. We inspected the clutch and it appears to have covered very little mileage, I'd say less than 5k which a bonus.In we go!The original valve cover was in good condition but I still had the old yellow one sitting around so that was fitted after a quick clean up.Just a few touches before we can get her running, ie. Driveshafts, manifold and exhaust. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
