Had a productive morning on the Crx. I now have a set of lowering springs and shocks to play with.
Ill put these in the shuttle tonight and get some pics. No more feeling like i'm driving a sky scraper
Looks about a similar height in the front to mine. Camber isnt too bad, when I got it aligned last the front was just under -3 degrees I think and I had done 15,000ks on some already worn tyres and they are still good enough for a WOF
I badly need a alignment lol, I've put da hubs on and lowered it and its all skittish. Its pretty rubbish to drive at the moment.
How are your king springs on the konis? With the neuspeeds the crx is very firm
I think I have kings in the rear, Cobra or something random in the front. The front is quite soft but I have the damper on the softest setting too, overall its a very comfortable ride, not rock soild, butt clenching when you see a pothole sort of hard like the Integra
Went ot a wrecker today to get some parts for The boss car and had a look in the honda section. Went up to it and its a Intrac! Was like HOLY SHIT! its manual too. so First thing Saturday I'm getting the gearbox diff and driveshafts
Fitted the door trim finally. Its funny how small things can make all the difference.
I'm going to roll the guards tomorrow so stop the tires getting more shredded
Ill get pics tomorrow.
Hmm weird, technically my wheels stick out further than yours, yet yours rub and mine dont. have even run 15mm spacers (so 15x7" +20et) and even then there was heaps of room in the back, front probably would have rubbed slightly
Been a busy day today. Removed the trans out of my parts car this morning
Transmission was removed fomr the one on the left and will be going into the one on the far right.
Tomorrows job is to remove the shift cable (oops) and fit it into the other shuttle.
I replaced the alternator belt on the intrac today. The old one had started to squeal a bit
This is why
While i'm in a posting mood here are some pics of the rods and new block that will be going in in the future.
The block has done a whole 5000km since new.
After comparing the factory rods to the revmaster rods I'm glad I bought them
Got my 769cc injectors mounted onto the rail. I still have to source some O rings for them
its been another busy day today. towed the crx out of the garage then towed the blue shuttle from where its been sitting for the last 4 months.
Working on the car getting the trans out
Nearly there
At this point I got a it angry and got my pry-bar/screwdriver/cold chisel
Success!!
Everybody likes carnage pics
I was wondering how I'd get the trans high enough to get the jack under it. Enter my trusty endless chain
It works!!
I spent ages trying to get the box to lineup with the torque converter. This is how NOT to do it. I remembered when we did a trans at work and the machanic said to put the torque converter in first. Did that.
piece of piss!! She's in
Have to sort out the left hand side drive-shaft, shift linkages and mounts. Fingers crossed the trans works, It did a year ago when I bought the parts car
I'm slowly getting through it. All the drive shafts are in place. suspension back in. Got a exhaust manifold at the wreckers today only to find its the wrong bloody one. the bolt holes for the car are like this \ instead of this /. Now all thats left is put the a/c fan in mount the shift linkage and replace the trans fluid
Still haven't got the blue shuttle properly drivable. I got distracted with the crx. I have dropped my rods down to the engine builder/machine shop so they will be ready in a few weeks. Then I can start putting the motor back together
Engine builder called today and said the rods/block are ready, I just have to pick them up now.
The blue shuttle is sitting in the drive feeling unloved as the bastard car (crx) is getting the attention

I've just brought myself a crx though. Should make a fun run around
I have 4 hondas now. I have to get rid of one as the drive is looking a little full
The intrac is staying d series. Unless someone wants to sponser me a crv block and trans lol.
first thing ill do is remove the stickers.
Ill put these in the shuttle tonight and get some pics. No more feeling like i'm driving a sky scraper
Might have to get some camber correction
I'd like the back to be more even with the front. I might put these springs on the shuttle shocks and use the extended tophats.

Wow I love this picture.
I've always struggled for garage and parking space. I'm jealous.
Neighbor had a party one night and asked if they could park their cars in our drive. I said sure thing. came home and there were 9 cars in there lol
