This is not a race car build... the word wace is for the jdm tyte racing stripes it has..:goodjob:

Well me and a friend bought a rex for $600 that runs perfect.. It has supa dupa fresh racing stripes and all the interior is custom spray painted. But the great part is, is that the seats are near mint.

The car was swapped with a Z6 4 years ago. The motor came out of my old EF hatch that I had to completely rewire. The rex has the same harness now, which is ALL obd1... everything!!

We are using my old LS motor with a JDM obd0 cable B16 tranny.

Car had been backed into at the door and lower quarter. Door is already done. But sorry no pics.

here is some pics as of now... check the awesome waceing srtipes....LOL

Shits whack son.

CRX's always piss me off because a 160whp CRX can smoke everything else on the track.

It's not fair! :gay:

Good luck on your project and looking forward to more updates! :goodjob:

I think I should have made a different title....

When I say WACE car, I am talking about the wacing stripes it contains right now... sorry for any confusion...

But to answer, It's being built for an all around car... more than likely left+right tho

UPDATE...

Well got all the black crap out of the rear area... fake rhino lining FTL.... cleaned everything. Did the rear wire tuck and hit it with some red... also worked on getting the LS driverside mount holes rethreaded and when putting the new bolts through, They snapped... so instead of fucking with it more. We are just doing a B16 swap...

Also, new solid mounts, Hasport shift linkage, EXEDY (sp) flywheel, and jdm b16 tranny on the way...

here's the pics....
