[quote=daveholiday;920818]Yeah, I feel you on the motor. I guess I'm just getting irritated with mine

Just save cash, and do a B-swap. or trade me your Si+cash for my HF.

crnsx1988 · 01-11-2008, 10:59 PM

I had bad luck with this crx. at a traffic light waiting for the stupid green light.

mac_24_seven · 01-12-2008, 12:02 AM

^^^^
That HF is quick, seen it in person.

daveholiday · 01-12-2008, 12:53 AM

drive your hf up here, and we'll make a deal

crnsx1988 · 01-12-2008, 05:33 PM

I was kidding man! I got junk. But yea do a B-swap. Have you already feel the potential of a B-series. I though some one close to you has a LS-VTEC. BTW I got spanked by a 96 civic EX stock D16y8 + a 75 wet shot of NOS. By about 3 cars last Thursday night. I spun bad and had to let off, and play catch-up. Then I spanked a semi-build b18A1 91 crx HF DC sport 4-2-1 header/ intake?/ thermal exhaust. Vs . my 88 CRX HF stock B18A1 stock air box/ stock exhaust manifold/ and Buddy Club exhaust. I got that crx by about a car.

daveholiday · 01-12-2008, 07:08 PM

haha. Yeah, my brother has an ls/v. I need to get some good pics of it, it rips. I just don't have the spare cash to go B

Taco15 · 01-12-2008, 10:39 PM

Dude, I KNOW you're not dissing Tallyimports. Why, on that forum resides the most knowledgeable, helpful people I've ever have the pleasure of knowing!

I go for the for sale forum and random funny thread ever now and then.

Taco15 · 01-14-2008, 09:51 AM

I really hope that was joke.lol

Jose has more Honda mechanic skills than Bobby. thats no lie.

I dunno about Bobby, but I know 3/4 of em are bandwagon riding suckups who laugh at you if they don't agree with what you have or are doing.

Andrew, do THIS to you LS cluster.

It's tape + blue marker + WHITE LED's

I think I'm gonna do it.

Taco15 · 01-14-2008, 04:00 PM

yes including Bobby. He's the biggest ass of all. Mostly because he's a forum nazi. If you disagree with him he'll be quick to whip out the ban stick. i know he's banned me once already. Thanks to Arty, Rotorious brought me back.

Fuck those guys. HS is where its at.

Tally Imports----Rice
Hondaswap---- Nice.

the only time i go to TI is to sell my stuff or see whats for sale. thats it. Every now and then i'll reply to post from my friends like Eddie and recently posted to Jose's for sale thread.

Andrew · 01-16-2008, 12:56 PM

Been listening and talking with truckers in my garage

Definitely recommended!

First person I have seen to trade ac for a cb but it is still cool to have a cb.

Andrew · 01-16-2008, 05:35 PM

Dude this thing is straight gangsta. Talking with truckers and junk. Getting info for traffic jams up ahead, weather, etc!

I want to get all my buddies to get one, so we can chat on CB and not cell phones. Less money and less distraction!

eg6sir · 01-16-2008, 05:42 PM

hmmm. .. maybe i should get me one.. put in it my Yota..

Andrew · 01-16-2008, 06:45 PM

Wal-Mart

mac_24_seven · 01-17-2008, 07:03 AM

How much was it and how big is the antennae?

Coutts · 01-17-2008, 07:13 AM

hey to the op, atleast your whole swap experience hasnt been like mine. heres the cliff notes of my cars life since last december:

bought car stock in december of 2006
got my first speeding ticket februrary of 2007 in it
ran 1st-4th gear reving out to 8000rpm on a b16b ecu (dumbest decision of my life) in july of 2007
bought ls/vtec swap off a friend for $2500 installed by him (another dumb choice) in august of 2007
clutch blew up in december of 2007
after 5 weeks of downtime i find out it wont start because i put the dizzy in 180 off, which jammed the intake cam and made the timing belt slip on the intake cam gear, cam ended up almost 180 degrees off (not shitting you) and bent some valves.
handed it into a local shop to replace the hacked up harness and replace the 450cc injectors with stock ones (recent).
got it back and paid the bullshit $800 bill
took car up to a friends shop yesterday who was going to replace the bent valve(s).
got word last night that he got the head off and found it had 2 bent intake valves (expected) and has had a blown head gasket for a long time.
the previous owner ran a gt35r on 12psi on this 11:1 ls/vtec motor so that probably has alot to do with the headgasket and other problems i had with the car (and why i got it so cheap).

now its time to sell the car, i had fun for a summer with it even though it wasnt fixed up and didnt see anywher near its full potential, still needs a tune (running on a basemap with hondata) and its on stock header and exhaust. Im going to miss it alot but i just turned 17 and i cant be putting all of my money into a car, i have to finish high school and go off to college.

best of luck with your crx and keep us updated

Likewise. Thanks for the post. it's only money. You can always make more of it. Don't feel too bad.

Terrance, it was $40, then $10 for the antenna. Mine just died on my yesterday though! I'm gonna take it back and exchange it for the other one they have there. If that one breaks I'll just return it for my money back.
The antenna is about 2' tall, magnetic base, fine wire type. It doesnt look too dorky. emphasis on "too".

As far as my car is concerned, I've got to change the oil feed line to my gauge, it broke the other day. Luckily it happened while I was working my alternator, so I didn't spew oil everywhere. However, after I got my alternator on I decided to check and make sure everything was working fine, so I go and start it up. after a second my buddy starts screaming, "SHUT IT DOWN, SHUT IT OFF!!!" ... freshly changed Full-Synthetic $5.88/qt. 'Q' motor oil all over my firewall....

so I got that cleaned up, now I'm gonna fix that line and set my car down and see how it runs with the new oil/filter. I'm hoping it was the old oil that was making it have 15-20psi of pressure at warm idle. I've got some good 10w30 in it with a K&N filter, so it should go up a little bit.

mac_24_seven · 01-17-2008, 09:10 AM

Get a pic of the antennae and install :P

So you know, Dad and Tracy are going to the track tomorrow. Tracy's wants to come back with some 9 sec timeslips and I'm gonna go to get video's and whatnot.

And the 4 link for the ranger is almost done... They just have to button everything up. It should be driving again this weekend

And dad got a new semi high rise intake manifold for the ranger as well.. Which means that the old 351 has an IM now... and only needs a new crank and heads to be complete

Dad's pushin bigtime for me to either get another ranger or mustang. He's confident it would go 11's either way I went, NA.

Andrew · 01-17-2008, 09:16 AM

Do it up, bro!

I don't have any pics of it, and I didn't actually "install" it, I've just been using it on the passenger seat for now. I didn't want to screw into my dash or anything... but I'll grab a pic of the antenna today.

Taco15 · 01-17-2008, 11:30 AM

i just noticed that everything you do goes in this thread. motor swap related or not. mehh it was just a thought in my mind.

watch out for ol' rusty nail.

By the way my god i cant say enough how much free time you have on your hands to this kind of stuff to the poor crx. man you have now officially geeked it up. Especially if you have a 100ft antenna sticking out. same with my bro inlaws RSX. he also has a cb in there.

call him up. he's under KG4-CJ7

Andrew · 01-17-2008, 12:07 PM

Free time? haha! I leave before 7am and don't get home with enough time to do any work until after 9:30pm almost all week long..
Plus I work on Saturday, but after that I practice with the band till after 10:00. Sunday is pretty much my only day to do stuff, but even that seems to get scrunched between church and friends.

I've been neglecting my rex a lot lately... The CB is hooked up in the Van right now, and I don't have the antenna out unless I don't get good signal. I just have it setup Inside the car
