Hi all from Australia, welcome to my build thread for my CR-X I've been working on for a while now. I used to do track events in my old DC5 Integra Type R, but decided to move back to an earlier model and modify it a bit more extensively. Here's what my Integra looks like:
The car started life as a glass top SiR, but I've since un-picked the original roof and welded in a steel roof. The car was in pretty rough condition when I bought it, so I did a couple of track events, and then decided to give up on the B16A and move to something I was a bit more familiar with that would offer a bit more power. I actually started on the project a couple of years ago, but got distracted by other things and haven't made much progress.
Here's the car as it is now heading to the paint shop:
Planned setup is pretty simple, here's a run down of the main things:
Stock K24A3 (Similar to the K24A2 you get in the US)
K20A oil pump and pan with clockwise motion baffle
RBC intake and ASP 4-1 header
50° VTC
Kpro and E85 (E85 is fairly commonly available in Melbourne where I live)
DC5R transmission (Have freshly rebuilt this with Synchrotech carbon synchros)
Koni Race shocks with GC coilover sleeves, will start with 18kg/mm front rates and 14kg/mm rear
Fresh OEM rubber bushings through, with sphericals in some locations
ASR rear anti-roll bar, OEM front bar
Custom built traction bar
EHPS using a pump from a Holden Astra
Various size 949 Racing 6ULs (8s,9s,10s)
The goal is to make a nice street registered car that I can do plenty of track events in without issues, and run a bit quicker times than my Integra. More updates to follow.
