so true. Worst mod ever.

[bubba]

Subarus = weak, unless they have a huge hot nasty wing..

Can't wait for mine, trying to figure out which one it want though first..

I know a guy who has all those things Especially the STi wing. If you have a silver wrx wingless I'd contemplate a trade of the trunk lids.

I'm currently working on buying a 12.19" Wilwood Big Brake kit, so I guess that goes on the winter mod list for the CRX. :icon_bigsmurf:

Isn't that overkill for a lil CRX

Yes :icon_rr: but it's not my DD. Having a 200hp motor in that car is overkill, and that's exactly what I'm going for haha Also I've just always had a place in my heart for pimp wheels with really nice brakes behind them.

Oh yeah and I just bought the brakes so they will be on their way Monday! There goes all my Christmas $.

what size wheels will u have to run? 15's are about perfect imo.. anything bigger than 16's look just plain gay...

I think DA brakes with good pads/rotors will be good enough, if not i've seen ppl make prelude brakes fit... also a lot cheaper...

Ha yeah I didn't really mean that like literally. It's only ~8.5HP/lb, hopefully less than 6 with nitrous. I hope to be bringing this car to school with me in Ohio over Spring break, and racing it at Mid Ohio Speedway in the summer. It's not made to be a suppidly overpowered Honda, just cheap, fast, and reliable.

You have to run 16's on them. I'll be running 16X7 +35 Desmonds. I got a really really good deal on them that I couldn't pass up. Like I said I'm a sucker for good brakes, and these calipers also fit 11" rotors so I can always switch to those if I feel like running a 15" wheel.

Will be doing the following;
Mini-tub to get some 315-60-15 Radial tires to fit.
Crank trigger for the ignition.
Would like to;
Possibly upgrade to DFI GEN VII fron GEN VII
Get rid of the two electric fuel pumps Weldon 2035 and the ACCEl pump and get a belt drive.
Drop fuel pressure from 60 psi to 43 psi and get rid of the 160 lbr's and put in some 225's
2-speed 400 or a glide
will add to the list later.

The mini-tub kit showed up and the tires are on order. Here is a picture of a 315 vs a 325, big difference.

I think you meant lb/hp. Otherwise you are in top fuel dragster territory.

How is this tire change going to be gearing wise?

It will be a like a 2.87 gear. If I want it to be the same I would have to get some 3.31 gears. I'll worry about a gear change later if needed. I think I'll be ok with what I am running. I need the extra gearing to be the first in the 180's anyways..:icon_rr:
