Long time lurker...UPDATE BYATCH
I've been on this board w/ various names for the longest. I remember when Jeff was a regular on CRX Resource until he got booted and made this site... thank god he did. Anyway...here is my car... in all of its glory since winter break when I turbo'd her:
Car before with ugly charge pipes.
Waiting to be put back on.
Took turbo off and began disassembly process because the bitch was smoking bad.
Look at all them cute lil parts.
mmm... black
front mount intercooler... as seen on the best high horsepower cars.
New filter setup... I was using pantyhose and a mesh screen before. lol.
Homemade Manual Boost Controller... Home Depot- cheap and effective.
If you like DIY you'll understand why I like JB weld. Modded Starion IC 2.25 pipes jb-welded into the sides of the tank... it seems really strong.
Yup, *DIY note* painted her my garage.
NA Love... well... When I wasn't spraying
Heh, yea... she wasn't much of a looker back in the day.
Old downpipe that I made before I got my 80 dollar Harbor freight welder
mad restrictive
**NOTE, I'm currently running an open wastegate dump. When I have time I'll weld up a pipe to route the dump down and at the ground.**
The New Shizz
Full exhausts suck.
Comparison
Spring Break Update
2.5 Cans of Bronze Wheel paint.
Yea I didn't get pictures in the daylight for some reason. Sorry.
Anyway... I also did some adjsutment to my downpipe.. gotten a lot better w/ my welder. I added about an inch to my ground clearance. No pics of that... just the same downpipe w/ a bit chopped out and rewelded.
Oh also did a lil wire tuck
Before
After: (Move the fusebox, lots of vac hose, injector harness, map sensor etc etc and I cleaned it) ((And I know it needs to be painted... meh I'm working at my own pace))
Check my custom resevoir holder. 10 bucks shipped. Its made of some kind of expanded PVC... i duno... i got a bunch of it here in my mechatronics class @ school... and I can make all kinda of shapes with it. I might be making a custom center console out of it... because it can be shaped easily when placed in boiling water.
After a GOOD cleaning and CD2 engine detailer spray.
And I'm done. HMT Owns your ------- ***... Questions/comments? Lets hear em

Re: Long time lurker... saying whats up.. *56k death*
Its true I keep an updated post on Honda-Tech but they get really gay when it comes to little things.. I have more of a HMT attitude when it comes to getting ---- to work. I don't have enough $ to be cool on HT.

Re: Long time lurker... saying whats up.. *56k death*
looks very good man! especially after the wire tuck and cleaning up the engine bay! how did you prep your wheels for paint? i have painted rims and they keep chipping every now and then and i have to respray them after about a month which gets annoying as hell
