Vteckidd Rises from the ashes........with the help from Mainstream Performance

[Vteckidd]

So i decided to jump half heartedly back into the Honda game. I always kinda felt unfulfilled when it came to my 240whp old CRX. I didnt have it long, it wasnt really what i wanted, it was too complicated, etc etc etc. I felt like i rushed it and didnt take my time.

I was severely turned off to all the car modification stuff due to money, problems, frustration for a LONG time. I still kinda am, but i wanted to rebuild my original CRX i owned and what kinda made me a real honda enthusiast. i used to own a 190whp CRX that was oem parts, beat the shit out of it and it was reliable. It was simple, fun, quick and a blast to drive.

So i decided to keep it simple, and went back to my roots. I started with a 1990 CRX HF that had a b16 with LSD in it.

Then i went and saw my friends over at Mainstream Performance, THE HONDA/ACURA authority. Afterall they dont make excuses , they make power :P

Mainstream Performance is taking care of all the swap needs, fabrication, etc for me and i cant say thanks enough! onto the pics!

I didnt have any traction bars, so instead of notching my crossmember, Charles got creative and ended up cutting the center out of the crossmember, and adding a Bar to give me more clearance. Temporary till my traction bars come in, but it works and functions great.

Im doing some other stuff soon like getting rid of those ugly wheels and seats, putting some other stuff on it and a tad bit more motor work. Mainstream is also cleaning up all the wiring from the previous owners that was kind of a mess haha.

Scotty will tune it for me maybe sometime next week.

Should be fun!

[DrAE86Toreno]

awsome....!

[Ed]

that header is ugly.

[*EFilliated*]

looks good

[JITB]

what kind of header is that?

[Vteckidd]

that header is ugly.
but it was free :boobies: :tongue1:

[EJ_Allmota]

good shit homie.. good to see you back in Honda..

[00CelicaGT]

very nice. stock internals inside the motor?

[Evil Goat]

looks like good stuff...body looks to be in badassical shape as well!

[Revmaynard]

Nice! Can't wait to see it on the road!

[Z0_o6]

specs on the engine? is it a stock C5? i will always have a soft spot for CRX's. I assume you are running one of your own headers, and will have a set of your recaro knock-offs in it?

[Da_unknown]

saw it yesterday looks good mike...

[BITCHING]

looking good on the swap .looks like thay do good work

[Vteckidd]

Of course I run a Kidd header ;) motor is stock with about 2000 miles ( out of the itr I was parting out)

b16 trans with kaaz LSD
rocket motorsports slr springs and ret

might do some pro1s eventually but I'll enjoy the stockness for now

[BABY J]

I can't wait to drag this shit down the fucking road.

[GetFRESH!]

Good stuff man :goodjob:


On a side note:
You are aware that Mugen VC is a fake one right?

Just wanna make sure you didn't pay a grip for it from someone passing it off as real bro.

[BABY J]

It's real - me and Mike went to Okinawa to get it last Saturday.

[Vteckidd]

Lol yes I know it's fake came on the motor. I'm replacing it with factory when I get a chance

[BABY J]

^^ So we went way to Okinawa for nothing? I want my gas money back Mike.

[Vteckidd]

looks dirty! other than that! :goodjob:
It actually takes really good pics but the paint is kinda crappy. It's a 20 footer for sure but I just wanted the body to be clean so I can repaint it later :)

[MachNU]

Repaint...oxidation, spidering marks, etc? Or is the paint just old and dull?

[all_american_gurl09]

[boosted_nonv]

Honestly mike I wished you had the 240whp crx still, so you could have raced DiscoMonkey's white crx from the track I think that shit would've been a good as race, but good seeing you back in the rex, gl man

[Da_unknown]

[Vteckidd]

Discomonkey has a don built motor too I think his name is chip.

Maybe I'll do it again sometime but when I can really do it right

DonF ported my head. The rest of the motor was built and tuned by me. :goodjob:

[Vteckidd]

Didn't I meet you one time on the way back from dons? Thought it was you.

How much power you making? You have that crx setup nice and those are some fast times

[Disco Monkey]

Didn't I meet you one time on the way back from dons? Thought it was you.

How much power you making?
i'm not sure how much power it's making, hasn't been on the dyno.


You have that crx setup nice and those are some fast times
thanks!

[hondakid303]

very sick bro nice

[BABY J]

Can I see better pics of the ground clearance of your header Mike? Need something for the new EG hatch that doesn't cost $700 and piss me the fuck off when I scrape something. LOL. I'm tired of tiptoeing around town. :)

Also - that block isn't painted gold, so NO WAY it will make any real power.:D

[D3UC3S]

^^^LOL..if it ain't gold, it ain't shit!!!!

Mike...glad to see you back on the honda grind!!! Can't wait to see it around.

[thinkskater]

[all-mota]

[CHADbee]

whens the last time vtec kid actually hit vtec mike?




Maybe you will run into another glitter mobile. Good times.
LOL @ glitter mobile.

if you were a true baller phil, you would buy a hatch, paint it sparkly colors, put lambo doors on it and K swap it just to call out mike and let the rest of us giggle about it.

[Vteckidd]

very cool man. Nice numbers.. :goodjob:

[Da_unknown]

damm mike... nice bro

[Revmaynard]

Awesome! Congrats, those numbers are badass!

[B18C5-EH2]

Nice man.

The 196whp - specs? Is it still stock cams? I'm @ 178whp with the OG DC JDM 4-1 header and 2.75'' AEM CAI for 99-00 Civic Si.

I've not spent literally a penny on mods for my EG in YEARS but I'm still curious about stockish ITR dyno numbers.

Doesn't it feel good to have a truly reliable, awesome handling, 12 second 1/4 miler that still gets killer gas mileage?

Good to see you back where you belong - in a Honda.

:)

Let me know if you want to do a back-to-back DC 4-1 header vs. Kidd header dyno comp, you know, for "advertising." (I keep header afterwards of course.)

:)

The LEGEND! I need to come see you its been too long. Quincy is back in town too. I think we will stop by this week.

Its a STOCK ITR motor, the one you guys put together for Kodis ITR after she got in the "first" wreck. OEM Stock bottom end str8 from Acura. No cams, no valvetrain, no intake manifold, no tb, 10000% stock.

All it has is my header on it and tuned by Scotty.

Ill take you up on that offer Tom, but only because i want to see the Hatch again. Its like the Unicorn, i see it maybe once every 5 years haha

[SPOOLIN]

you make me wanna be a better man.

what exhaust are you running again? I want to get my ITR tuned sometime soon with some basic stuff. It made 187 before i bought it with some high dollar header/exhaust

I really just want a JRSC for it.

Its whatever came on the car, looks like an OBX/Ebay 2.25in exhaust. It actually has a resonator RIGHT off the header too so its quiet. I bet with a Mainstream exhaust i would be right at 200whp

[D3UC3S]

That IS quiet. wow!

[FasTech]

I would think you would have sprayed the block and tranny to kinda clean it up some. Just looks kinda dirty in the pic's. But none the less, a pretty nice project.

[SPOOLIN]

mike doesn't pay that much attention to detail.

[Da_unknown]

u aint never lie

[Vteckidd]

Yeah I don't really care for the motor to be "pretty" as it'll just get dirty again. As long as it runs good is all I care about

[Black R]

those are awesome numbers for a bolt-on itr. :thumbup:

[boosted_nonv]

Congrats Mike

[jadakid88]

nice shit

[greasemunkey]

very nice man glad its going to a good home and yea wiring was a big mess i attempted to clean up a bit, id love to see it at the friday night drags or something man lmk if you ever head out there

[all-mota]

looks great man should be a fun ride

[Elbow]

I got video somewhere of the old one!

[nismo_92]

i saw this shit run last nite it pretty fast

I see it all the time just sitting still. He never drives it.

[eg mike]

wow 196! I need to get my tuned again with your header! Though, I will need to fix my rod bearing first :-(
