Pics of JHill's Road Race CRX (TUNED!)
 

Me and Jim finally got his Crx tuned with the AEM EMS, he’s going to be doing a road race event Sat at Mission Raceway in BC. He's just about done with his car, so I took a few pics today, (the car looks really nice guys!)

Ahh yes, the nice bright yellow, sporting his new 15in wheels, and new toyo rubber.

Jim, took off a few of his stickers, but still sports the ANGEL sticker I put on for him ;)

Jim’s cage is all done, and looks really nice! He painted the entire inside of the car "Battleship Grey"

Had to gut the inside of the LH door to get the cage to clear.

Sexy door panel, but if you look close you can see ......? ;)

Inside is real clean, Jim's still sporting that stock shifter and his homemade shift knob, hahahha :P

With all the excitement in the driveway, Riley (Jim’s son) had to come check out what was going on, I strapped him in the 5pt Harness, :)

How does Dads car sound Riley? "BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Bwahhhhhhh" Jim just got new exhaust that sounds real nice, but resonates the ---- out of the car.

Since Jim is racing in a week, we had to do the old fashion way of tuning, (on the street) But we were able to use his Wideband O2 setup for data logging.

After a few tries, we started to figure out how to adjust the AEM setup, it was a bit tricky, and overwhelming, since it’s so damn configurable. But we finally got the Air/Fuel set at 12.0-12.5 @ WOT. You should see the damn manual for this thing, lol :o

Why didn’t we use the AUTOTUNE function? Well Jim didn’t want to upgrade the firmware version of the ECU this close to his race, just incase we had a problem with updating it. Anyways, wish him luck at his first race!

I will more than likely be their taking pictures, and crewing for him.

Thanks guys, and thanks to Jeff for coming down to help tune the ECU. It took a while to get things to the point where we could make changes and see results, but once we got there it was nice and quick.

5 more days for the first race.

Simply beautiful. I envy your work.
Which wideband?

Saw on HT, where you can datalog raw knock sensor output w/ the EMS. You try it yet? Wish Hondata did that.

Your sons got the future motorhead grinn. :D

:o That is really sweet set-up, Roller cage looks great. Wish you the best of luck in the race.

i love them kosei rims! too bad they don't make 5-lug versions, i think?

nice roll cage though, my friend and i are going build a CRX ourselves and will need a roll cage = shooting for 11.99s, and the crx setup looks really nice.

its spronsers and light weight rims w/ a yellow STOCK body, whats so ricey? because it doesnt look ass stock with the black body panels and pizza pan looking rims?

So, to have a "nice" car you have to have a turbo in a rusty white CRX? grow up
