Another nontraditional build...

[Cyanide Jello]

I know I only pop in to shake things up.... buuuuuuut in a general love of cars and rust... I'll share.
So lets recap...

In January of last year I picked up what was supposed to be a daily...

Didn't know I was picking up a semi-rare very sought after Honda... 1990 Honda CRX Si. Factory mpfi w/ 4 wheel disk brakes, sunroof, yada yada yada... $650.

A week later...

A month passed... Mugen MR5s, slammage, strippage, rust, few bolts-ons.

After some minor issues and offroading....I decided I wasn't low enough, the fitment sucked and I wasn't fast enough...

On with go-fast parts!!! I quickly yanked the motor out of 98 Civic which had been built and after a few dollars, some elbow grease and ingenuity, I wire tucked the bay, made the engine run like a scalded dog and was getting about 210 horses out of the lil 4 banger...

Unfortunately she sat like this all winter. I dropped oil pressure in the motor and destroyed a turbo...
But where there is death, there is also life... So I scored a a/r50 garrett turbo and along with some other go fast parts along the way... I have a to-do list a mile long for this year but unfortunately trying to pay to bills kills all my time to work on the pile...

Anyways, I know its different and not what is usually posted on the site, but its a mix of old style with newer car... But, even this car will be eligible for antique tags in 2 years.

Well laid out photos at least. My Honda project is on hold until I get a shop built - it's a mid-engine model A Ford with a D15B Vtec. Rats-N-Rice.

Thanks.... Throw a head from a d16z6 and it'll boost the compression. Finding internals for the d15's is a little tough. Most people step up to the d16's. If you need any help just hit me up! I'm gonna try to be around more often...

Its a little more ratty it looks, especially if you line it up against most other Hondas.
