Hows the drone on the highway? I have a Cherry Bomb Turbo which looks to be a similar design. I love it around town, but the drone on the highway is still pretty bad.
Yet another honda added to the stable. Pix of my new rex!

I once saw a CRV run something in the 20s at Englishtown. Then I realized that I paid $20 to get in and watch and he only paid $10 and ran his car down the track once.

Honestly, that muffler is only a little louder than stock. I would say that the drone from the intake is twice as loud as the exhaust is both at full throttle and cruising. I can hear it while cruising, but my car isn't the best test platform to judge such things, as I have zero sound insulation and a completely gutted interior. I will say its the quietest aftermarket exhaust I have ever heard on a CRX.
True. Well my next big purchase is going to be a welder so maybe I'll play around with a few mufflers and a db meter. And after that, if I'm still not satisfied with the noise level, there is always Dynomat.
more rex pr0n, plz (read: vids)

Damn, the guy in the B20/VTEC swapped car must've really been clueless. I was running right at 8 seconds in the 1/8...
Good times on your CRX though! My fenders always looked like that too. S-03 tire shredding looks more uh... "splashy" than that though.

So, the B18 developed a slight knock on startup, and a very slight knock at 3500+rpm.. So some exploratory surgery was in order.
Well theres your problem right there!
#1 rod bearing is TOAST. The rest were fine. Crank looks and feels good and smooth by some miracle.. I'm contemplating just buying some rod bearings, slapping them in, and calling it a day... I really don't want to pull engine/trans, remove the crank, and have it checked.. No discoloration or burned oil on the rod, so I'm going to assume its fine. I didn't drive it far at all after it started, and I babied it home at 3k or less..

What could you expect from a "healthy" mystery motor. You got off fairly lucky and you caught it too. Yay.
:woo:

My name is Byron.
The bearings in my LS looked way better than that even after there was a rod sticking through the block. Good thing you caught it in time.

Finally finished that little project.. It was put on hold for a bit.. it got really freaking cold, then I got busy.. blah blah.. Bearings are in, motor is buttoned up, and running like a champ.
Also fixed the slop in the shifter caused by my Hasport shift linkage... Thread here ----> https://hondaswap.com/general-tech-maintenance/your-hasport-shift-linkage-loose-2-dollar-whore-hymen-restoration-462334/#post1557496
