Whats new, Whats old... and Whats up?
 

Well, alot of you have been saying wtf has jeff frank been up too, well I'll give everyone a little update. Last spring I bought my first home up in Arlington, WA. which is actually about a 1/4 mile away from beaus new house. (easy drunken walking distance). This summer I popped the big question to my girl I have been seeing for over a year. The date is set of Aug 16th 08. There are some talks of a complete change of lifestyle as well, I've mentioned this before. But my fiancé's dad owns a Vineyard and Winery. He has offered me a pretty good job at the Vineyard, and we are still thinking about it. We would obviously have to sell our new house and move over to eastern wa, and leave our family and friends behind. So we shall see about that, from flat-rating cars to growing grapes it will definatly be different.

We just got a new puppy last week, I got a dog, so my gf wanted her own little dog. So I got on a waiting list for a Puggle (half pug / half beagle)

aww heres both of them. The little ---- got sick, and then got our other dog sick. So the vet bill was just sweet this month. :7

On a better note, I did buy my dream car... yes I did say dream. I have always wanted one, and have always been looking. Last year I saw one go for over 12 grand on ebay but it was full licenesed and a little bit better shape.

1990 JDM Crx SIR RHD Glassroof.

there was a thread on HMT awhile back about the listing on ebay... (more pics too)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CRX-S...QQcmdZViewItem

Yes, for the first time Jeff frank got retailed, but its ok. I would much rather spend 8k on a car like this, than any other car. It's a pretty ------- cool, its crazy how nice it really is. You just never seen this ---- in a EF so it's alot of fun. The auto ac, power windows, the glass roof. So the gf was pretty upset about the purchase, so no mods are going to be done for awhile. I dont even know if I am going to lower it, it drives so nice.. No squeeks or any rattles, and it actually handles very well. Just not sure exactly what I am going to do with it other than driving it to work everyday. I just dont want to ------- hack this thing up at all. I gotta figure out how I am going to license it first, I have almost all the paperwork except the customs documents. I really dont think it will be to hard to get licensed. The guy who owned it before me really didnt care, he drove it maybe once a month on trip permits, he also had a butt ------- load of money too.

So now its complete, I have owned every model/trim level and every year of the 2nd gen Crx.
1988 Crx HF
1989 Crx SI
1990 Crx DX
1991 Crx SI
1990 Crx SIR

So with apart of this deal, is that I also promised my gf that I would get rid of all this extra ---- in the garage and extra cars we got laying around here. Since the pinks thing never happened... its all going for sale. Here are a few pics of some of the work before it was called off.

The rules stated were any sohc engine in the EF chasis, so... we have a built bottom end H22 w/ a ported out F22 Sohc head mated to a JDM B16a S1 tranny. We got all the mock ---- done, everything just needed to be assembled. I actually had a bunch more pics with the front end all on and the downpipes all done too, but I dont know where they went? Maybe dustin has them. The downpipes were ------- sick, they came out of the hood, then back down and out the front bumper, all 3.5in pipe. Homemade intake manifold with 78mm throttle body.

Twin turbo, pair of T3 60/63's, Front mount Evo8 intercooler modded to Water cooled IC.

https://www.homemadeturbo.com/2007/new/pinks6.JPG

the sweet resivour for the IC, intank bilge pump. Totally HMT ---- right here, it actually worked badass too.

https://www.homemadeturbo.com/2007/new/pinks7.JPG

The tires... if having over 550whp (est) wasnt enough, we knew that we had to have radial dot tires, and these tires have the fastest recorded time for a fwd car. To bad we never got this setup together because I really wanted to show the NE crew how the Nw crew rolls. :6

Everything is now for sale, including the car, which has a 6pt roll bar setup in it.

Once you get married, start out with a few parts in the garage then a "would you mind parking in the driveway just for tonite?" After a while you'll have the whole garage to yourself MUWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Re: Whats new, Whats old... and Whats up?
 

Damn. You woulda blew NE out of the ------ water.

Re: Whats new, Whats old... and Whats up?

https://www.homemadeturbo.com/2007/new/pinks8.JPG

haha,

I actually had all the parts to do a completely built F22, however I got a smoking deal on a h22, so we went that route.

Re: Whats new, Whats old... and Whats up?

Re: Whats new, Whats old... and Whats up?
 

holy ---- that car would have smoked them. nice to see your still alive and doing good. what part of eastern wa? if you guys plan on buying a house hit me up, i'm a realtor in yakima but can sell anythign in the valley.

Re: Whats new, Whats old... and Whats up?
 

Wow I love the CRX, I think I remeber seeing it posted on here a while back from someone else. Glassroof is pretty awesome.

Re: Whats new, Whats old... and Whats up?
 

I think one of them is actually leed's and the other one is a little rough ;)

Zillah, Wa

We would be building our own home on the vineyard, there is like 1000 acres out there. We already got our spot picked out too. The winery is called Silverlake Winery and the vineyard is Roza Hills.

$500 :6

Re: Whats new, Whats old... and Whats up?
 

Very nice Jeff... Hope to actually bump into you at some point, been a year or so (BOTI) hahaha... NW HMT meet???? LSD Mike said hes down to make the trip up....

Im interested in the M and Hs if they are 15" what size are they???? Would have Loved to see it run...



Hope all works out for you :6

Re: Whats new, Whats old... and Whats up?
 

cool ---- man, lways love to see what your working on, so do you think you'll end up moving and get out of cars ??

Re: Whats new, Whats old... and Whats up?
 

shitty, thats too close to Mabton for my lilking. not only did Mabton have the first reported case of mad cow in the US, but they have the highest amount of full auto weapons per capita in the state due to it being a major drug trafficing point.

Yakima also makes the top 10 for stolen cars in the nation.

ahh, the valley. such a great place to live O0

Re: Whats new, Whats old... and Whats up?
 

Let ------- DO IT!!!! :y


https://www.homemadeturbo.com/2007/new/carfront.JPG

Re: Whats new, Whats old... and Whats up?
 

Congrats Jeff. Silver Lake is a pretty neat vineyard... Zillah is about as boring as Arlington... less meth though.

GL with everything.

Re: Whats new, Whats old... and Whats up?

Re: Whats new, Whats old... and Whats up?
 

Damn...its funny after how being in this game 5 years, people I met near the beginning are growing up.

Damn, I wish the Pinks thing would have happened...it would have been interesting regardless :)

I owe you a beer in LV

Re: Whats new, Whats old... and Whats up?
 

Congrats on setting a date.

That CRX is sweet. Personally, I wouldnt hack a singe ------- thing on it.
The good T3 is mine O0 Ill swing by the next time I drive down to my brothers.

Going from flat rate tech to the Vineyard sounds pretty sweet dude. Serious change of pace there.

And for the record, Ive only met his girlfriend a few times, but she failed to set off the psycho bitch alarm and didnt fit the Spanaway crack ----- profile either. Down to earth, funny and likes to plan things out 10months in advance were my first impressions. ;) Good job Mr. Frank. :y

Is Beau's dad gonna drive us around for the Bachelor party? hahaha

Re: Whats new, Whats old... and Whats up?
 

Nice to see you back.

Congrats on the chic.

Re: Whats new, Whats old... and Whats up?
 

Congrats man. I agree that you shouldn't hack anything on that crx. If you make bank with the vineyard job...you will have more money to spend on turbo hondas.

Re: Whats new, Whats old... and Whats up?
