Stay posted for daily updates. =)

 

Nice progress! Upgrade camera. lol

 

Thanks, and i would upgrade my camera, but for some reason all my extra cash goes into my car.... You know how that goes.... =/ Just bare with my phone camera for now.

 

looking good man

 

nice! yay for another rex owner.

 

^^ Another CRX coming out of the woods. Welcome and have fun with the build!

 

Thanks for the posts, sorry again for the bad quality, im just snapping pics with my phone as we go, workin on a time budget isnt always fun. Lots of stress, got one week to get her done!



Haha not quite, technically i live in the woods lol. Alabama is full of em! :3dtard:


But here's an update on what got done today..

Finished priming, and wet sanding.

Then layed down my base coat, gotta go back in and tape off everything tomorrow to do the reds and greys. Gonna do an urban camo paint pattern on it. Im hoping it will look good, and not too much like a rice cake.

After that was done i had to go to work. Then Topher the magician came in and picked up where i left off....
:bigok:

Stay tunned for updates!!! =)

 

yea if i could find annas camera i would take some better pics. motors going back in tonite.

 

That pic turned out pretty good for a 2 year old cell phone lord. As far as dropping the motor in, not a big deal. The flipping ES inserts were a PITA though. I had to get my impact with a long bolt and washer to zip them into the mount, worked like a charm, but then the fatter mounts needed a wider bracket on the car so I had some small hold backs but nothing major. Everything is off the firewall and mounted on a bracket under the intake manifold. Most of the wiring is done, just need to get on the inside of the car and plug it all in. Axles, exhaust, shift linkage is no biggy either, then the car will be drivable again. BTW, got the wheels in the sedan right now and they are ready for paint :TU:

 

Nice job cleaning up the E-Bay This is exactly what I am going to do to my rex when I yank the engine out. Rep Given!

 

Here's my daily update, i didnt get too much done today, didnt have much time before work. But i got the inside of the hood primed and painted black.

And did some tapeing... =/

and more tapeing

and more... Btw theres one of 4 freshly sandblasted rims, thank you topher yet again!!! gonna paint em red tomorrow morning as soon as i get over there to em.

Hood

Tomorrow i should get alot done, including the grey coat down, and prime and paint rims. Still got more tapeing though...

Stay posted!

 

Well i finally fixed my datalink cable that my rabbbit chewed up... Soo i can finally post pics again...

Anyways here's the progress i got done since the last update.

 

Just gotta wet sand the orange peel out, clear, buff.

 

looks good man

 

I woulda went a different direction with the paint but overall work looks good man!

 

Ya... Well red and black is the color theme im goin for, and i wanted something different, soo thats the best that popped into my head... Everybody has just a plain base coat, how many people you know with camo?

Thanks on the feedback guys!

 

wow its coming along good job bro

 

Definitely different. Keep up the good work.

 

I like the camo, just not the colors. If done right it can look really good. It's all about the layout and color scheme.

^^ this last one I really like for some reason.

 

i pray it will, we shall find out tonite.

 

if you ever get pulled over, just roll the window down a bit and whisper to the cop,"OMG, How did you see me?"....lolol


and your gonna get new tires? or gonna rock the overspray?

 

nice i like the red and black paint scheme.

 

Thank you sir!!! Thats what ive been trying to go with. Idk what it is, but red and black just look soo good together too me lol.

if you ever get pulled over, just roll the window down a bit and whisper to the cop,"OMG, How did you see me?"....lolol


and your gonna get new tires? or gonna rock the overspray?

Bahahaha i need to try that next time foreal! I used to get pulled over all the time with just a primered crx, i dont even wanna think about whats gonna happen now... Anybody else down with suing the government for profiling, and treating honda tuners unfairly???

And ya just got the new tires in today, got em mounted for $37! I love Wal-Mart! Especially with employee discount!

 

he has tires just needs to mount them. we got the beast to crank last nite with no codes thank god.

 

:clap::clap::bigok:

 

it would be drivable but i have like 10 wires left to tuck and run on the pass. side and then the car will be done other then wiring the NOS up. It will be on the road tonight.

 

Well.... I dont really know what to do now.... Its DONE!!!!! For now! It drives amazingly!!! Not the same car at all... The zc has great power, i like it lots!! Im gonna finish hooking up the spray tomorrow before work, shouldnt take long at all... The only problem we ran into with the swap that is still a problem, is that the zc header is a 4-2-1, and did not include the 2-1 part, soo i had to put my B2 header on it.... =/ Soo the exhaust ports arent flush, losing power... And its got a leak somewhere. After IA im just gonna pick up an aftermarket d-series header and dremel out the ports. Unless someone can give me a sweet deal on a header and bring it to IA! =)

But anyways, heres a couple pics i took whille fueling up.

And i would like to give a great big thanks to topher!!! Without him this build would have never happend, and my car would still be primered with a B2 in it lol

 

looks really nice, mang! not a fan of the camo paint, but this one was pulled quite awesomely.

 

Hmm its not too bad really. Came out decent. Its different for sure and thats what you were going for. Welcome to the love or hate your paint club lol.
