I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Post by crxls » April 22, 2006

ok guys. i dont know what to say here.....

my name is Rodney. i live in York Pa and am the older brother of member educationalblunder. i own a 86 crx HF (carb'd model) with a B18B1 in it. as im sure most of you know that the 1st gen crx is not very popular esecially in our area due to rust but i lucked out and got a clean arizona car that ran perfect with 117,000 miles on it. i purchased the car not even knowing if it ran and towed it home with intentions to just build a fast car which meant engine swap so it didnt even matter if it ran. when i got home i put a battery in it and it fired right up and ran perfect but it still got torn apart. i pulled out the engine, wiring harness transmission and started dropping the B18 into the 1600 pound car. i had to do a custom wiring job to run OBD1 in this car that was once carberated. then i had to make my own engine mounts from 1/4 inch steel. anyway, the car is just nasty for street use as it sits but im in the process of getting ready to boost it. lets move on to a few pic's.

engine in and doing some finishing touches getting it running. this was in july of 2004. extremely tight squeeze as intake manifold is 1/8 inch from firewall, transmission sits 1/8 inch from cooling fan frame after modifying it. Image this is a pic of my crx and my brother (educationalblunder) 94 CX hatch at maryland international raceway Image just a pic of the burnout at 75-80 dragstrip Image pic of launching at 75-80 dragstrip Image enjoy
