this is my crx. ive had it for 8 years and recently i watched a video on a rwd gsr crx. i cant stop thinking about it and since i want this to be my last big honda build i want to build a "sports car" of sorts. i want a k since even stock it will be quick and reliable. so here we go...

(also, not to be rude but I'm not posting this for input. Just for fun)

how it sat in the begining of this. it was already mid build when i changed my mind.

this is my buddy jordan helping me chop up a donor

and to be honest i havent been super adoment about taking a lot of pictures so here is the trimmed up version of that cut off front end. more pics very soon

Went ahead and finished the inside of the airbox. It only needs a layer of undercoating inside of it to make sure it's 100% sealed (i already know it is but i just want that extra coat) and water tight then it's done. Since the idea is for it to be water tight I installed a water drain.

Drain hole in the bottom of the airbox connected to a hose

Comes out through the driver fender well

Just need to rubber coat the inside and build a carbon fiber scoop in place of the gas door and that part is finished.

It's slow progress but it's progress

What style/size scoop are you thinking? Cool stuff.

Well actually I'm kinda copying the plans on the scoop from a guy who built a twin engine h22 del sol

Pretty much will look just like this

Bolt in fuel tank mount that will also have a trunk compartment. One of these days I'll finish cleaning and shaving this bay

Itr throttle body installed today. I was using base rsx since I don't care at all what side the throttle wheel is on. But it ended up hitting my tb adapter plate. Crappy part is I spent a lot of time building my throttle cable bracket and now I have to start over lol. I have already modified the firewall and petals to use an mr2 throttle cable. I'll get pictures of that later

Very nice Mrcrxguy2! Must be a blast concerning traction, but how is it to drive through corners? I know from the Elise the short axis distance make it sometimes not so easy to control the beast during slow cornering, where power is way higher as traction allows.

It’s really not bad! I was imagining a lot of understeer but it’s pretty well balanced. I haven’t really started beating on it but I’m impressed so far
