Do you have pics?
What are you using for fuel management?
I am looking for a SAFC and 450's. Currently I am using an SDS EIC.

Thats what I am going for.......I discovered a Honda wrecker by my house that has about 9 D16A1's sitting in there engine warehouse. I may just go pick up one of those instead of buying a ZC........after all it is the same block, just different cams and other minor things.

Now as as far as the death trap goes.......4 point harness and a roll cage will keep me safe.

Right now I am doing the body work though, I have a fiberglass repro of the old Mugen widebody being hand laid in Canada. This is what it will look like on my car, only it will be black.



That cost me $1300......so when that is on and the body work is taken care of, I will be boosting it

Just go for the d16a1 unless you can get a smoking good deal on a ZC. I got mine from Toronto for $300US. I drove up from NYC on a friday night, and had it in and running in my car on Sunday night.

Hey I think i know that white crx. Whose car is it? I think i remember some guy from Hawaii having a car that looked similar to that.

I'm not sure what his name is, but he is from Hawaii. If your interested in purchasing that kit we have a group buy going on. Just go the the 1g CRX forum I belong to http://www.redpepperracing.com

It is being produced by Jamie Houseman of Houseman Autosport. It is all hand laid fiberglass, takes about 2 weeks to make it. He managed to find some guy with the whole 9 piece kit, new and unused(all parts were even stamped with Mugen "MOON") He got the license to make the molds and now he reproduces them.

The kit includes:

-front bumper
-rear bumper
-2 side skirts
-2 front flared fenders
-2 rear fender flares (need to be molded on)
-header panel

So if your interested just go to Red Pepper Racing, the go the "1G CRX" forum. There you will see information about the group buy.

Hey, i got two. I,ve been working on the 87' Si for two years. The another one(85 auto dx carbed) i got screwed out of a title so its a parts/beater car. Or drive when I mess one of my other cars up. Can seriously say i will never sell it or i will always have a 1st gen. Like an oversized gokart. I have dreams about the mugen kit.
