Thanks!

Let's be honest now, Stevie was never a grafter anyway. Don carries the whole operation!

Haha now now... Stevie's very good; he's certainly one who know's what he's doing, but Don works his arse off too; I agree

Stevie's had a lot on recently though; heads a bit mashed really and now with this buggered hand; that's not helping at all!

I know exactly what you're referring to. A great shame indeed. It's just a bit of banter, he's a top bloke and in fairness ribs me far more than I do him

Haha aye... I do give him a lot of grief. His fault for being a short arse

Looking forward to seeing more updates on this. Love the CRX.

Can't beat a Honda track car IMO

That's a seriously impressive build. Love it!

[Partyvan]

Thanks for the comments guys

Today I took the CRX VTEC binnacle I'd sourced (it's curved instead of square), the Integra DC2 cluster, some B&Q mending plates, a drill and some screws


From the back, I fitted the mending plates to secure the cluster to the binnacle


From the front


The fit is about 90%, it just needs something in a couple of corners to fill some small gaps. It'll be in the car tomorrow!

Just a small job i know, but it's a necessary one as the OEM cluster is cable driven speedo, the K20 engine is electronic speedo.

More soon

Some pictures from today. I'm booked in next week for some last bits and pieces towards finishing it.

That is awesome, looks like something i'd build on gran turismo as a kid!! I really hope you take track day video footage.

[Partyvan]

Thanks And yes I've got go-pro

[Partyvan]

Sorry for the lack of updates!



I've moved house, and almost finished sorting out the new garage.

When I started it had two lightbulbs, one power socket and not a lot else. It was crap.

Since moving in I've built the workbench from scratch, fitted a vice, put shelves up, put up drawers in the walls for fastenings, moved my tool chest in, put up 5x LED batten lights, mounted 2 cabinets on the walls and much, much more.

Might actually get to work on some cars soon 😅 CRX is 2nd on the list after my daily driver sadly!

I will get it on track early summer!

can't wait to see more of this little monster.

Wow! This is absolutely incredible!

Love the K-Swap, i bet this thing shifts!

Loving the graphics too

[Partyvan]

Thanks guys

I've nailed off a few more minor jobs

- Small patch on the floor
- Fuel pressure set to 50psi
- Fuel injector #4 leak fixed
- Fuel level now working
- Fire extinguisher mounted
- Gear cables secure
- Brakes bled (although possible minor leak still)

Main issue now is just how much the bulkhead is flexing massively with the brake pedal being pumped. I'm going to have to brace it somehow, either from the servo to a strut brace, or by welding some bracing to the inside of the bulkhead. That'll mean dash out!

Other jobs left
- Awaiting custom hoses from Roose Motorsport for coolant
- Secure brake bias valve on a bracket
- Refit passenger seat
- MOT

Wow love this! Bet it’s absolutely savage!

Great work! My kinda car. I used to have a track CRX back in the day. No engine mods, just stripped it out. It was great fun to chuck about.

[Butter Face]

Love the new garage, super jealous of that.

[Partyvan]

Now finished, MOT'd and taxed!!!
