Hi guys,

I made some progress!
My Civic is on the road since about 2 months now.
I really enjoy driving this sleeper Car ;)
I installed the big brake kit from a Rover ( all new parts) and the car stops like hell!!!
Actually i think the problem of the unequal brakes was the brake distribution valve.

Some other small upgrades i made:

Remove some rust spots from the traction bar and tank
Stiffend the broken Frontmotormount with Sikaflex --> got me much more better handling on the street.
Fixed a small rockchip in the window
Bought a Sports muffler (Remus) to make it a custom muffler for my car
Changed the leaky AEVC
Put on the new Rimes (basically because the tires are new) the rimes are going to be replace. But i dont know which im going to take.
And i replace the hat rack for a new one because the old one had holes for speaker.

The last pic was me in Hungary at the 1/4 mile.
Best time was 15.7 (bone stock) :sad:
My CRX performed better with less power !!!
 --> there is room for improvement

Right now im working on a good concept for my car.
I tend to replace the motor for a B16 with ITR Cams and ITR intake manifold, a bit porting, some good exhaust header and a custom Itr cat back system.
I'm going to start in July since im going abroad next year.

What i didnt mention is that a really good friend of mine ( I would say he is a real genius when it comes to cars, specially Hondas.) helps me out improving my car.
I owe him a lot!

Ill try to keep you up to date
Alex

Off course !!!!
The Car looks like a JEEP now!
Today i ve got 2 options.
An OEM shocks with some 20mm lowering spring. And I have got Koni shocks with Eibach (35) springs.
Next year im going to test the Koni Eibach Kombi.
This year i was too lazy to change them.
And i want to change one thing at a time to see and feel the progress of the change.
 :wink:

Hey guys.
Got some short news.

Next things i want to do:

Get a new B16 into the car. ( allready got one)
Build up the tranny. (fix the 3rd gear syncro and install a lsd)

thats the plan so far.

Maybe i will install the Koni shocks and H&R suspension as well.

Problem is.
Now i am in Lisbon for the next 5 month. But if possible i will be home at march to get a few things done.

I ll let you know anyway.

BTW: im still looking for a good catback with T
