Oh hai Chris!
Your car is going to be awesome, not that it already isn't.
You need to visit once it needs running in
The more important question is, hows the BEAST!

It's not really a displacement exercise, it's more to get the bores perfectly true and honed again. Displacement will go up fractionally from 1,797cc to a whopping 1,820cc :lol:
If you're referring the the Mitsubishi, it's the biggest POS I've ever bought. Since I've had it, I've had so many issues, the main ones being the mental alarm system and juddering wookie clutch. Not to mention its turd to drive, I've got over my initial enthusiasm for the turbo, it's so dull to drive, the delivery is so SO linear, it's a joke! I still have the odd bit of fun trolling the repmobiles, but generally speaking its the worst car I've owned (should of kept my EM2). It will be sold very soon to fund my 'CR-X Shopping List'.

Amazing car and so clean! I had a crx vtec for my first car and absolutely loved it and spent a small fortune on it over the years. Even looked at getting another one a couple of years ago but couldn't find one anywhere near as clean as my one unfortunately. Keep up the good work mate.

Cheers! No there's quite few other bits I have/still need... S80 gearbox, hydro intermediate shaft, cable to hydro clutch conversion parts, Innovative engine and gearbox mounts, Tegiwa 4-2-1 manifold, Hondata S300 ECU and a few other little bits and pieces.
I'm taking it to Daz (DNR/Endless Horizon) to get it all fitted, run in and mapped.
What colour and have you got any pics? I'd love a stock Celestial Blue, but can't justify having two CRXs in my life. :lol:
On another note, I manged to get a cracking deal from Flux on my insurance... £280 Fully comp, all mods declared!
And finally it's going for it's MOT on the 24th, I can't wait to drive it again!

Mine was a white H reg uk vtec and I absolutely loved it. A big part of me wished I never sold it as it's so hard to find a clean crx nowadays that isn't rotten or sky high mileage. I'd love another one as a second car but just haven't got the cash. I've loads of pics of it still on my computer. I'll try and upload a few.

Several Chris, primarily the fact it has an LSD and quite a few options if I wanted to upgrade in the future. It also has closer ratios, with a much much shorter 3rd and 4th than the original Y2 box. It also means I get to run later (hydro) drive shafts, this is a real bonus as CRX drive shafts are very hard to find, by switching to hydro it means I can run the same shafts from the later Civics, Integras etc. which there are no shortage in supply.

I can see why, I usually get satisfaction cleaning stuff up, not this though, hated every minute!
I used several scourers and a cocktail of degreasants I had lying about, but predominately Gunk Engine Foam. I was told I could use oven cleaner, but I wasn't brave enough to try!
