Does anyone have a suggestion on a clutch for my build? I'll be lookin to hit at least 300hp in the future when i upgrade turbo's...I want something with horsepower capability but also with good driveability, considering i'll be driving this car alot!
Thanks for the responses

dispocrx · 06-14-2008, 07:00 PM

aight i made a lil progress today! just a lil. i ran out of dry ice, they only had a couple small peices but, i'll get another 5$ block this week and get my last pad out...

gettin somewhere now!

dispocrx · 06-14-2008, 07:04 PM

come on now get out!

the back pad in the spare well came off pretty easy, didnt take long..

just a lil more!

see how much ice i had left? damn ALMOST!!!

dispocrx · 06-14-2008, 07:09 PM

looks like i got some more laquer wiping in the hatch area to get that black off, im thinkin of under-coating the sides and just painting the actual floorboard, What you guys think?

caseycoker · 06-14-2008, 07:11 PM

looking nice-- keep up the good work!

u meen insted of carpet just painting the floor? i did that in my crx flat black i loved the look but if you plan to daily drive it thats not the best idea

im in for more updates i love crxs and cant wait to get another clean one some day soon

dispocrx · 06-14-2008, 07:32 PM

no im talking about painting the whole floorboard front 2 back, paint the insides of the doors, but under-coat the sides of the hatch area....actually now that im lookin at pics i got a good idea...

SIred91 · 06-14-2008, 07:48 PM

It may save a TAD of weight to take all that pad out, but if its a daily, you are
going to want to kill yourself because of the road and exhaust noise.....

With a boost setup, I would keep a full interior personally....I keep a full interior
anyway, Ive been gutted before, and I won't ever do it again.

Anyway, nice project.....

dispocrx · 06-14-2008, 08:21 PM

Im taking it all out because i dont plan on getting rid of this car anytime soon, and im repainting the interior. I wanted to pull out the sound deadening so i can re-apply new material after paint.
i wont be putting any in the hatch, but on the floorboard and under the seats i plan on replacing it.
And yea im only running the rear gutted which reminds me i need to order some carpet....Anyone around here sell oem carpet?

dispocrx · 06-16-2008, 07:07 PM

Aight, i got a little bit done today, i started pulling off the rear suspension, i just need to pull the trailing arms off along with the e-brake cables...it started raining and ruined my afternoon

but i managed to prep my stock LCA's to paint them.

I plan on replacing them but they might be one of the last things so im just using some paint laying around...

here they are, i will most likely go over them and clean em up a lil more..

Celestial Rex · 06-16-2008, 07:51 PM

Awesome Build. Build is very similar to mine. Keep up the good work... wish i knew more about body work

dispocrx · 06-16-2008, 08:34 PM

Thanks, i've been workin and learnin for like 5 years now so it pays to practice!

Forgot earlier i got a NICE Auto Meter Boost gauge!

Expletive! · 06-17-2008, 01:10 AM

Cool thread..getting some work done

im gonna keep my eye on this thread..whats the final set up?

dispocrx · 06-17-2008, 05:46 AM

for the engine? the whole car?
I want to get a bigger turbo in the future..thats one of my only limitations on this block other than injectors...as for the car i've got a different plan every day haha i lie, but im so add that i dunno what the final set-up is haha..

dispocrx · 06-17-2008, 05:48 AM

oh i almost forgot, i found another crx locally and it looks to have a really low price tag, so im gonna call today..i really hope he isnt tryin to sit on this thing, its slightly riced out!

thevtecnician · 06-17-2008, 06:28 AM

So how's the dry ice work?

I went at mine with a light hammer and chisel. <----not really the best idea

You just let it sit or what?

dispocrx · 06-17-2008, 09:38 AM

yea you let it sit on the sound deadening and it will freeze the adhesive and should crack off in peices, if you wanna make it easy on yourself, dont skimp out on the dry ice (like i did) and try to get plenty....if you crush the ice up into small peices it covers the area alot better and will give you better results...
i tried not to break it up too much cuz it was like 95* outside along with some shitty ass Louisiana humidity and i wanted to try and not waste...

Edit* The hammer and chisel will work fine after you frreeeeeeze that shit

Modified by dispocrx at 7:17 PM 6/17/2008

thevtecnician · 06-17-2008, 06:47 PM

So where can I get some dry ice at

dispocrx · 06-17-2008, 07:19 PM

I got mine at a local Krogers, dunno if you got that, its just a grocery store...look in the phonebook though!

dispocrx · 06-18-2008, 03:10 PM

Aight, picked up another guage, i love these brushed metal faces! so clean, only other gauge style i would like better then this right now would be the same style with mugen in em...

i hate my gf's new camera...10m of confusing bullstuff and i cant get a clean pic.
goin work on the crx. peace

dispocrx · 06-19-2008, 02:54 PM

thevtecnician · 06-20-2008, 10:32 AM

Those gauges are completely in-accurate. The only ones that are accurate are the actual widebands
