    Shredded Rubber: Killer Roads

    I have recently discovered two world rally-worthy stretches of road near me. I'm sure there's much more out there just itching for me to leave my mark. As soon as I figure out a way to ~securely~ mount my camera I plan to post some vids for everyone's enjoyment. Here's a fun bit of the road I...

    Z600 Pimpin'

    Out job hunting today & ran across this little guy whoring himself out for a car audio shop. I had to stop & ask. Turns out the guy who owns the shop & car is an asian gentleman who was likely born sometime in the late 18th century. He wasn't selling either. :( Click for bigger. I...

    Ebay find of the decade!

    I've been jonesing for some forced induction for a while now, but I'm on an extremely limited budget...like limited to junkyard finds, essentially. Even if I pull a turbo out of something, like, say, a maserati bi-turbo^_^, I still have to spend the time & money on fab'ing up brackets &...

    1stGen into 2ndGen Rex

    So, the stock steering wheel in the 2ndGen Crx has always really bugged me. Never could quite put my finger on it, but since it's right there in front of me all the time, it's only gotten worse over time. Mine doesn't have the stitched "leather", though.... Then, while looking for upper...

    Ninja Fuel!

    About 1/2 the fuel capacity has gone all ninja and disappeared on me. See if you can help me out here. The fuel capacity on 1991 CRX is listed at just over 11 gallons. I used to refill after about 300 miles driven and she'd take about ten gallons w/ the guage reading about empty. Not too bad...

    Most bichun parts hauler..?

    Hondaphiles, I want your opinion. If you were in the market for a "shop truck" what would you want? I want a vehicle that can get me to the parts store, the junkyard and even work if the 'Rex is down. I'd also like to be able to hook up a trailer and tow my car if I had to. Other uses would be...

    WTB: D16A9 or D16Z5

    Been looking on the intraweb for a little while now and I'm having trouble finding these engines for sale new, used, or rebuilt. Can anybody direct me to a good site? :confused: I'm pretty sure I'll never run into a euro-spec civic in the junkyard...

    Hypothetical Tranny Swap

    Since the 1991 4WD wagon runs the same D16A6 that I have in my 91 CRX, I would imagine that the 4WD tranny would bolt right up as a swap. I know I'd be wasting my time trying to run a 4WD in my CRX. What I'm curious about though is the LSD aspect of the six speed tranny from the wagon...

    locate my seatbelt/door beeper

    This may be a silly question, but I can't seem to find this info in wiring diagrams or in parts breakdown illustrations. Where is my open door warning beeper located? It's behind the dash somewhere, but the sound it makes is really difficult to track down...and my hearing sucks. Why you ask...

    Basic Electrical Question

    I have purchased a set of aftermarket fog lights w/ an install kit. The kit instructs the user to wire a dedicated switch to run the lights. I would prefer not to do this. What I want to do is to have them turn on when I run my parking lights and then get brighter when I run headlights...

    100% Junk Parts

    Does anybody have a good source for parts interchangability for Honda's? When I'm scouring around the junkyard, sometimes I see cool stuff, but I'm not sure if it will fit on my car...and if it does, would it be an improvment? So, is there some kind of reference manual that will tell me what...

    Weight reduction = horsepower gain

    I am looking for a simple equation. Somewhere out there in the wild world of the interweb I know there is a straight forward equation for converting weight reduction to horsepower gain equivalent. What I mean is this: :hmm: If I remove one pound of weight from my car, how much HP would I...

    Damn smog check!

    So, I failed my smog check yesterday. I'm very sad about this because the CRX is my first true love. :wub: The possibility of not spending every day with her breaks my heart. If I can't get her fixed, I can't register in CA. :cry: The failure was due to high NOx readings and inoperable engine...

    'Nother Header Question.

    I've got headers and a downpipe in the garage ready to go, minus the gasket. I pulled the heat shield off my exhaust manifold this afternoon to get a better look at how toasted it is :chef: (very well, it turns out). One of the exhaust studs has sheared off, though. :mad: What's the best way...

    Favorite Mod

    Well, I'm not sure which forum to post this in, but I'm interested to know what everyone's favorite mod is, regardless of the car. So far, mine is the short shifter I put in a week ago. I swear it added like 200hp! ^_^ I found this puppy on Ebay for eight bucks and I couldn't resist. I...

    Charging: Super vs Turbo

    Maybe this has already been covered here somewhere, but I can't find it. I really want to supercharge my d16a6. I would love to hear some technical reasons why turbos are superior. One of the main reasons I want to go this route is that freakin everyone turbos, and I like to be different...
