I will update the thread and pics as the parts come in... Comments and suggestions (Suspension, exhaust, IC piping, radiator, wheels, etc...) welcome.



I decided to go with the 3 Pulley setup so that way I can save from cutting out this on the hood, plus it looks alot cleaner.. notice the clearance with the 3 washers on each bolt and BDL Industries Alt Pulley...:up:


I also upgraded to the 99-00 Brake Booster for better braking.. I felt I might as well since I have Integra suspension all the way around..



I am going to try to do this one as clean as possible regarding the wires...Im trying out this wire tuck idea I guess..



I was going to use this front end but since the sensors on the top of the throttle body and the Vacuum port for the Brake booster hose sits too high, I have to seek an alternative route for the front end..There is NO WAY that any stock OEM or JDM hood will fit this swap with an RBC manifold..

See that 2.4 Block over there on the left?... Its just waiting for my Tax Return I think I will build it up... This Stock setup is pretty much just to test the limits of it on more of a conservative level for Daily driving and track. I'm shooting for 450+hp on stock internals on Race gas...Thanks Everyone....

LMAO....... Sorry to hear that... Well how long ago did you get it?
like two months ago from another member that was parting out his drag rex you might know him hes from Florida dc4k is his user name
Oh ok.. Down in Wellington Dont know him personally but I know who you are talking about.... ..... Well Im not sure if the one you had is the new design.. Apparently the one I had was the old design they said the first time we exchanged emails.... It looked all nice an pretty on Ebay and when they sent it to me, it was NOTHING like what I pictured. No writings on it as in the picture, parts were just thrown in the box with no instructions. To top it off, it didnt even fit correctly.... Gimme a break..... Im trying to be nice right now though....
oh dang well that just sucks :down:hope it works out but are you really going to part it out
Others brands break too, I wasn't there to see the carnage, but my brother managed to break mine.
you got any video of your rex in action
Nope... Not I Never really was into the whole video thing before.. But as soon as this is done I will be though....
try calling them direct or sending an E-mail...
that would be my plan of action

maybe some pictures if you can get them
yea man, why havent you called them already. screw the pms, these people dont know how to correspond with costumers. very sloppy responses:down:

Because I have A LOT of things to do. Since I work around computers all day and am on the computer all night, its more convenient. The fact that they can even reply to my pm's mean that they can give a decent explanation... Besides.. Calling to Canada is not free.... No sir....
Well since you put it that way.... lol. let me borrow your kproooo :)

Well it seems as though the suspension problem that I had was due to the Traction Bar. Im going to be getting a new one in a few weeks and hopefully have it put back together by then so I will have a final answer. But for now I am keeping it due to what happened with the TB. With the new one I shouldnt have the problems that I was having before.
