hey guys i just thought i would sare my sleeper build lol. yeah the car is in rough shape but i work at a shop that has a paint booth and i have access to all the things i will need to bring it back to its glory lol.

here is the history of the car. i bought the car 3 months ago as a project car it had a blown head gasket and needed a thermostat. i bought the car for 400 bucks which i think was a good price. yeah i got more than i bargained for but its ok cuz the price was right. so first thing i did was install a new head gasket and exhaust gasket and i also installed a new thermo. the car runs pretty good now except for the fact that it still smokes alittle and has a rough idel but i think that with a proper tune up it will run like a champ it also needs some new seals like distributor seal and some new orings that go around the spark plug hole lol sorry i cant remember what they are called hahaha its late and ive worked my ass off today so yeah

my plan is to build a d16a6/d15 turbo motor for the power plant and i have alot of stuff sitting around that i am going to transfer onto the car bit by bit. for example here are the parts i currently have that are waiting to go onto the car once i get around to taking them off my hatch lol.

drop zone struts
eibach sportline springs
91 crx si rear disc
ebc cross drilled rotors
ebc racing compound pads front and back
a cheap set of racing seats from checker lol
crx dash and center console
crx full wiring harness
new sway bar bushings (polyurithane)
new lca, upc, and every other bushing lol

that is whats waiting to make its way onto the car this is the very small amount of progress i have made so far

old gauge cluster

new guages

and here are the new wheels from my crx YES THEY ARE retarded THANKS FOR NOTICING

yes its rusted and i dont give a d**n but here is the car before i lower it next week

and here are the cheap ass race seats that will make their way into the car once i fab up some brackets

the new plan for the motor is a d15block with a d16a6 head (fully built minus valve job) turbo

and while that is being built i will run my b16 in it which will be fun but single slammer turbo will also be a blast lol

i will add more pictures next week when it gets lowered and i put the rear disc brakes on
