Reviving My Honda CRX Rally Car Project ~ 5+ Years of Dust
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- Reviving a 1990 Honda CRX project I started in 2010 that I gutted, stripped, re-floored, seam welded, braced, half-caged, & swapped in a powerful JDM import SiR-G B18C engine into with the help of many friends. Finally dusting it off after 5+ years of sitting around in various places due to the lack of time to get in the seat & race it. Still splattered with rallycross mud from the last event & with an E85 ravaged fuel system clogged with a mix of corrosion & fuel aged like a fine wine -err stinking corpse more like. Took a fair bit of effort to get it up to snuff for some road tests, but it rips now with a totally refreshed fuel system! Just a few more safety things to look after (when I have time between my Cummins Rover project) and then it's on to racing again! Whether Rallycross, Autocross, Drag Racing, Track Days... then someday a full stage Rally Race :)

Upload your video we are subscribes still waiting
Well if you wanted to get my attention.. here I am! Now let's go rally! I'll be up your way this weekend, well Iowa. :D
I figured you'd appreciate this car :P Feels SO good to officially have all my projects running, especially this one since it's the first project I really started pushing to do things I'd never done before. It's going to look rad on a trailer behind the Rover going to events 😎
@@Tinker1837 hell yeah it will!
Thanks for all your hard work, please keep it up!
Will do!
I swapped a D17A2. Into my 1989 crx si. That made it a bit more fun. Well after a month of figuring out a way to deal with the imobilizer wiring.
I used to have one of the super gas-sipper 1.5L in my DX Civic before I couldn't take it anymore & I shipped in this engine... that old 70hp of "don't dare pull into traffic" fury was not going to last long in my hands haha! This engine's a bit high strung w/~13:1 compression, kinda wishing I had stuck with the stock dome pistons instead so I could add boost, but still fun to wind it out to near 10,000 :D
Seeing the work on the Rover has me thinking we will be seeing some great fab work on this little Honda : ]
I did find some questionable things after dusting it off, but hey it was my first ground up build from 10 years back. We did a good job replacing the floor & stitch welding the unibody, but not replacing the rotten old suspension bushings & forgetting to reseal parts of the roof was a bad choice. Also kinda wishing I hadn't built it with ~13:1 compression before I knew that building an "all motor" setup gets very expensive... because a turbo would be wicked fun on this featherweight thing :D

Welcome :)
Dang take me for a ride when its ready
200hp is surprisingly fun in something that only ways ~1600lbs :)
@@Tinker1837 I know all about the power with less weight, I have a 73 vw thing with a 2.0l Subaru engine, weighs something like 1200lbs with 180hp
Woah! Cool! Bet that rips. A rare bird too, I've only ever seen a couple of those on real life.
Always good to dust off old toys and projects.
For sure! And probably a good workout for the brain to have to clear out all the cobwebs remembering the details of a 10 year old project.
What happened to the rover ?
Still working on it :) I have the next video, on the new steering gear, nearly done editing.
hey what happened to disco2
Still going! I'm slow :P
waiting my frnd :)
I think you come modify this honda 🤓
MANY modifications on this one 😁
Where art though disco duck truck? Ohh the carefree days of the civic si
Coming along still, just slacking on video editing... it can be a real timesuck. I'm so happy to have all my project vehicles running though, a first for me!
