chappy's Rt build so far

91 rt4wd civic cleanest interior i've seen on a 20 year old car. To date it has 235,000 miles it is a 6 speed love the super low. I bought it with a blown engine. I plan to build another 1.6 for it with a few goodies but its running with a 1.5 that I had in a crx for now. Factory a/c and p/s work perfect.

future plans: manual rack to eliminate the power steering pump. bedliner on lower sides of car. some lift, as much as possible. and a bull bar. Attached are pics of the wagon I have already built a basket style rack for it wired and lit up still needs a floor in the rack.

Today I rebought one of my old hondas a crx for the rims and integra struts/springs. I built the crx when I was around 19. It has an integra 1.8, disc rear brakes, vibrant full exhaust, all the intergra suspension, tilt front end, strut tower brace.

I'm going to take the wheels and tires for sure off the crx but going to look at putting the whole suspension on my wagon. Taking the exhaust system off and strut tower brace for the wagon also.

The wheels are TSW 8 spokes and the tires are 215/60-14's soon to be on the wagon.

The guy I sold the crx to messed the engine up a few weeks after he got it and it has been sitting since 07. Back then I didnt really know how to weld and the engine is in there kinda iffy solid mounted anyway so I dont feel bad at all about parting my old rex out. and yes by the way I was trying to make an adult hotwheels car.

  • Jdmwago666 I can't send a pm yet. The bumper is original but had a lot of damage when I originally got it. I patched it up and painted it. The crx has a tilt front end that I built so basically it is just a shell of a bumper no supports or anything.
  • TSW rims and renegade tires on and cleaned up. looks ok but I want bigger tires.

    :(
    That sucks, thanks for the reply though
  • Got a hitch mounted and lights wired. Now going to pick up some random stuff from an auction for my family reunion. the little trailer is a boat trailer I converted last year to haul my sand dragster.
  • I've been thinking about building a brushguard for my rt. I see some bull bars on here. I thought about that but I want mine to be a little different. I just had a slow day today and figured i'd let some other people see what I'm thinking for better or worse. I don't mind bad comments. It helps me figure out exactly what I want to build. As far as building the bumper I have a pipe bender and a good welder torch etc.. tell me what you think. All I have is paint on my computer so dont mind the pic too much.

    The design seems a bit busy to me but I like the idea! I'd want fewer bars if it was me but hey, I salute your efforts!
  • Yea definately fewer bars. I need to start on it soon though. I clipped a little doe on my way home last night. It dint hurt anything butif I full on hit her it would've been bad.
