kelsodeez · 10-08-2009, 03:40 PM

anyone have any suggestions for an aftermarket front lower control arm? i ordered the skunk2 upper control arm with adjustable camber. also, any suggestions for good front traction bars?

kelsodeez · 10-09-2009, 12:36 AM

anyone anyone?

kelsodeez · 10-17-2009, 08:28 PM

engine bay painted championship white. i may just do this color for the white on the body because it looks pretty good and i dont feel like screwing with a 3 stage paint.

re-powder coated the valve cover. if anyone needs cheap powdercoating for small items in the bay area, pm me.

LSD type r tranny

personal grinta steering wheel w/ a true grant quick release

hasport b mounts

fitting up the other side to the X. not welded in yet, but its almost there

F&F coilover and a turbo (my dogs name is turbo)

thats all for now.

good shit..i dont think theres an aftermarket FL control arm..

philyphreak2127 · 10-18-2009, 05:20 PM

I haven't seen any aftermarket front lowers man. As for traction bars I don't know about good brands but I know there is a guy on homemadeturbo.com that makes them custom for your car. I have heard he does good work if I can find his e-mail I'll let you know.

yea, i ended up just refinishing them and getting all new bushings. next on the list of things to do is get an ecu, figure out how to get the spindle bearings out to replace them, and start gathering front brake stuff. heres what i have in mind for the front brakes.....

Wilwood is always a good choice. This thread just reminds me that I need to get another job.

Turbo may have tumors in his eyes. I know it happens in humans when you take a picture and the eyes fog up that means eye tumors. Look it up.

Back on to the topic, whats the estimated time of completition, stat!

Omni Power makes front lower control arms for the CRX, but they are a bit pricey..

8 pounds of un-sprung weight lost is no laughing matter, though.

This guy is selling them with a $70 discount.. Omni power front lower control arms! $70 off plus free shipping! In stock now! - Honda-Tech

kelsodeez · 10-18-2009, 10:37 PM

those look ridiculously awesome! i wrote the guy on HT about them but i think they were discontinued.

phyregod · 10-18-2009, 10:40 PM

Google 'em. $399 at several places.. I was just steering you that direction because of the hefty discount that was being offered.

SlushboxTeggy · 10-18-2009, 11:54 PM

crxprojectcar · 11-01-2009, 05:32 PM

for the interior, just one bride vios, sheet metal dash and carbon fiber door liners. for the engine, im just going to keep it mostly stock for now. some arp rod bolts, new rod bearings, new water pump. with hondata s300, i should be able to get about 215-220HP from this engine. i may do a supercharger down the line but most likely i stay NA and do some ITB's and some cams.

i want to register it, but registering this car is pretty much impossible in california. i may use my buddy's address in texas to register it, trailer it there, then trailer it back just so i dont have to put it on the trailer for every track event. id like to be able to drive it to the track. but ill cross that bridge when i get to it.

kelsodeez · 11-01-2009, 06:12 PM

oh and ill get some more pictures up once i get some primer on the car and my kit from fastbrakes comes.

crxprojectcar · 11-01-2009, 08:47 PM

ic .. well 220 without boost seems reasonable with some tlc lol you going put all the stock glass in or use plexy or somthing (sence its a track car primarily) if you get glass let me kno if you find the rear wing window seals (the plasic that borders them to make them look nice) ive looked all over the internet but have found nothing. Ive heard that they are spendy,
