**tdurr** · 04-19-2009, 07:37 PM

**Mad Mike** · 04-19-2009, 07:45 PM

cars back together and all good. Only a few scratches.

Yea I need new front tires so I think I'm going to upgrade to some good sticky ones.

**Dville nismo** · 04-20-2009, 08:01 PM

Man good tires make a big difference. Glad your ok.

**Firefightin_tC** · 04-21-2009, 10:55 AM

nice man .... glad to see it running again ....

**Firefightin_tC** · 04-26-2009, 08:44 AM

I hit those same mountains in March...man it's such a blast to come screaming up and down those mountains.

**Mad Mike** · 04-27-2009, 10:29 PM

I loved it before I put the 15" wheels and kumho tires on my car. Its still a blast.

**Mad Mike** · 05-09-2009, 02:18 AM

Today I finally turned over 1000miles on my motor. Geting lost on the way home from the Varsity helped that a lot.

Got some good shot at the V.

Got the trailer hitch on and the wiring harness installed. Its weird seeing a CRX pulling a trailer. LOL

**bpoweredhatch** · 05-09-2009, 09:12 AM

first time i ve seen something like that. kee up the good work

**Mad Mike** · 05-09-2009, 10:06 AM

thanks

well everyone's jumping on the bike rack bandwagon and I don't own a bicycle. But I do own a motorcycle so maybe I'll start a new fad. LOL

**Mad Mike** · 05-18-2009, 03:53 PM

Finished the light and wiring install on my trailer. Then color matched it to my car. Then went for a test drive with the bike loaded on it. I got to get a bump stop that not cut in half to raise the front of the trail to level it out but other than getting it registered its done..

I get some crazy looks when people drive past me. LOL

**tdurr** · 05-31-2009, 10:13 PM

lol so cool. more reps.

**WalkS** · 05-31-2009, 11:25 PM

Haha thats cool man!

**redblackfan** · 06-04-2009, 04:32 PM

does every light on that cluster work

**Mad Mike** · 06-04-2009, 05:06 PM

All that I needed work. I also used the gas light as my vtec light(vtec activates and it lights up) I didn't use the other lights.

**redblackfan** · 06-04-2009, 05:16 PM

what about ABS light and seatbelt and SRS and doors

**Mad Mike** · 06-04-2009, 05:49 PM

Didn't need the ABS or srs lights no need for them. the seat belt lights not used because the seat belt wires were all cut and removed from the car when I installed my seats. The Door light doesn't work but I have an interior light so it wasn't really needed. The trunk open lights does work.

**redblackfan** · 06-04-2009, 07:50 PM

cool thanks for the info because i want to put in a teg cluster too

**redblackfan** · 06-06-2009, 09:25 AM

how did you get the turbo and vtec to work together

**Mad Mike** · 06-06-2009, 09:58 AM

They work well together. I had the ECU tuned and it made them work smooth. They work weather its tuned or not but having it tuned makes them work together to make the most power.

**redblackfan** · 06-06-2009, 10:22 AM

every read i found on vtec and turbo says it will blow your motor

**Mad Mike** · 06-06-2009, 10:26 AM

all vtec does is open the 2nd intake valve and add more fuel at a certain RPM. As long as its tuned properly and you motor is in good shape it will work fine.

How do you think that the LS-Vtec turbo motors usually put out ~4 - 500hp if it were to blow it up??

**redblackfan** · 06-07-2009, 05:45 PM

If you are using a 94 and up tranny in your CRX, would you have as many problems as you did with the VSS

**Mad Mike** · 06-07-2009, 08:30 PM

The D-series VSS will fit into all of the D-series transmissions. It was the wiring that burned up the VSS something was shorting on to the ground circuit and frying them.

**redblackfan** · 06-08-2009, 06:48 AM

Sorry I mean if you used a 94 and up integra tranny?

**Mad Mike** · 06-08-2009, 09:19 AM

It cost to much to make them work in the 88-91s to make them worth it for me.

**redblackfan** · 06-08-2009, 02:04 PM

the VSS on the integra tranny should go right to the speedo right no conversions right if you had a motorswap and the motor was a 94 Gsr and so on

**Mad Mike** · 06-08-2009, 09:23 PM

I'm not sure

**redblackfan** · 06-18-2009, 09:25 AM

does your ac work

**Mad Mike** · 06-18-2009, 12:21 PM

I ripped the A/C out the day after I bought my CRX.

**redblackfan** · 06-18-2009, 12:40 PM

ok why but could you fit it in there with that full size rad and intercooler

**Mad Mike** · 06-18-2009, 12:47 PM

Yes you can run A/C with both. But mine was broke and its pointless weight. I have windows and a sunroof. Plus the A/C system weighed over 46LBS thats not including the fluids.
All you need is a a/c computable manifold and downpipe.

**redblackfan** · 06-18-2009, 01:02 PM

so the condenser will fit between the intercooler and rad(can't spell)

**Mad Mike** · 06-18-2009, 01:03 PM

yep with plenty of room
