That is one over-powered, stock-supensioned, multi-colored, POS.
It does run great and will be so much nicer with the new suspension....and in one color.
Hopefully the turbo and suspension get installed b/f it gets painted b/c it will be the ultimate sleeper. Who would think a multi-colored CRX would be powered by a turbo'd LS.

More like what didn't, it just seemed like we weren't making an progress once we got the motor out, had to find new bolts for a lot of things, my axles that i had were still in hubs from the integra I got them from and they wouldn't come out even after trying to cut the axle nuts off, thats what took alot of the time...I put a new head gasket in before I put the motor in and I need a deep dish 13mm 12 point socket for the arp studs one they got on a little ways so i had to call around to find one since it was sunday and sears was closed already, we broke the tps when putting the motor in so i had to swap the one from the d on and i still got a tps light because I didn't line it up right, i figured it ou then I guess thats all the big problems but there were probably more too, after all said and done iot was well worth it, the car rips and the CS clutch grabs awesome, the motor didn't smoke one bit on start up and the trannny is smooth, which is awespme since i had no idea on the condition of this stuff

Well there is still the broken speed sensor and the crank pulley timing mark mystery. I've been looking into what other people think about that and it seems that the outer pulley could have spun independently of the inner pulley where it attaches to the crank. This makes sense to me since it does happen on harmonic balancers of older v8s, so i dont see why it wouldnt happen on this too. But the thing that sucks is that means the pulley is garbage b/c once it spins, it'll probably keep spinning a little tiny bit which will keep throwing off the timing marks. I guess if someone really had a tight chain wrench on the pulley and was trying to get that damned nut off of it, I'm thinking that could make it spin, that or just old age as is the reason that older harmonic balancers take a ---- and move.
But I agree, it still runs great.
