Hehe, made me think of your car.

**shane94** · 01-25-2009, 04:53 PM

F@ck I guess I'll have to change my color

**Revmaynard** · 01-25-2009, 05:00 PM

Do it and stop whining everytime you see a car in the same color.

**Mad Mike** · 01-27-2009, 05:15 PM

I got my rods today SCAT H beams

**Mad Mike** · 02-04-2009, 09:19 PM

Not much of a update but I decided to install a 94 Acura Integra cluster in my CRX. I bought all the stuff to install it and it all should be here in a week. Cluster, cluster plugs, 96+ civic VSS and the Vss plug all for around $115.

should look something like this.

**Revmaynard** · 02-04-2009, 09:21 PM

That'll look pretty good man. Keep it going!

**rmeyer114** · 02-04-2009, 09:40 PM

nice project man ...even tho it IS a honda....people like you give me hope of eventually getting my 240 underway

**Boost1995** · 02-05-2009, 12:16 AM

Awesome job! I really enjoyed reading your thread.

**Mad Mike** · 02-05-2009, 05:56 AM

Thanks theirs much more to come.

**Mad Mike** · 02-10-2009, 06:03 PM

Not much happening with my rex right now I've been working to much latly.

I did order the srp pistons, rings and a new oil pan this morning.

Also bought some new tools cylinder hone and a ring compressor.

All I really need is break in oil and a new torque wrench and I'll be putting it together.

**FasTech** · 02-10-2009, 06:07 PM

I like the gauge thing... I honestly have never seen that one. I mean, I've seen the S2k gauge in CRX's and all but never Integra gauge cluster.

**Mad Mike** · 02-10-2009, 07:44 PM

I like the look of them and its not to hard to make them work in the CRX. Plus the tach is larger and it lights up much better than the 20y/o crx cluster.

**Civem2** · 02-10-2009, 08:27 PM

lol

**Mad Mike** · 02-13-2009, 09:17 PM

It has begun. So far I've spec.ed the main bearings and there all within spec. I've also honed the cylinder walls. That all tonight. I got to figure out why the SCAT rods wont freely slide down the piston bore and then spec the rod bearings.

This ^ is going in and on this.

My work benches

**tdurr** · 02-13-2009, 09:23 PM

**Mad Mike** · 02-14-2009, 12:32 AM

More goodies to go on my car.

Just ordered a PC680 battery holder so I can put my PC680 back in my engine compartment. Screw PWjdm and there $120. This bad boy cost $35 shipped.

**-S Double C-** · 02-14-2009, 12:40 AM

i would have sold you brand new never used scat rods and srp's for 500 if i had known you was looking for em.

**Mad Mike** · 02-14-2009, 12:43 AM

$500 damn that's a lot cheaper than what I payed. $457 just for the pistons and $319 for the rods.

**-S Double C-** · 02-14-2009, 01:10 AM

lol there forsale now i just posted em back up

**Mad Mike** · 02-16-2009, 07:49 PM

Progress!!!

Got my pistons today.

I HATE spiral locks took me over 1.5 hours to get them all done.

Ta Da

Got to notch the block tomorrow and them its reassemble time.

My not be able to work on it tomorrow because I'm getting a bike and if I get approved by the bank I'll be spending most of the day at the DMV.

Also anyone know witch way the SRP pistons go in. The valve releafs are different on each side.

**GSRteg®** · 02-17-2009, 08:40 PM

Mike looking good man

**Mad Mike** · 02-17-2009, 08:44 PM

Thanks

I never got a chance to get the tool for my grinder to notch the block. With the down payments on my bike and insurance for my bike I have no money to get the grinding bits. I'll have to wait 2 weeks and then I'll get them to notch it.

**bpoweredhatch** · 02-18-2009, 07:51 AM

looking good bro

Brian* · 02-18-2009, 08:13 AM

**08turb@x** · 02-18-2009, 08:30 AM

I thought to myself well sh!t it doen't run and its apart. screw it I'm putting good parts in it first time around.

**Mad Mike** · 02-20-2009, 01:22 PM

Started notching the block for the H beams and got sick of it and took a break. I've only done 4 of them as of right now and its slow going. I think they might need more but I'm going to do all 8 then test fit everything to see if they clear.

**Dville nismo** · 02-21-2009, 08:47 AM

so much better man, keep up the good work!

**91eflx** · 02-21-2009, 09:17 AM

i see you have the motormount inserts which kit did you go with? im thinking about picking up a set myself

**Mad Mike** · 02-22-2009, 06:00 AM

I'm running the energy suspension inserts. They work great but expect your car to start vibrating and rattling from the motor.

**green91** · 02-22-2009, 07:08 AM

Throw that tripod hone in the garbage, get a ball hone.

**91eflx** · 02-22-2009, 04:33 PM

im not worried about that because my car shakes and rattles now lol which inserts does that come with all of them including tranny mounts?

**Mad Mike** · 02-22-2009, 06:46 PM

I couldn't find a complete kit. I ordered each one individually. I also installed the energy suspension radius arm mounts and the shifter mounts. I'm going to order the complete front and rear suspension kit and the front and rear sway bar mount kit so I can get rid of all the sloppy mounts.

**91eflx** · 02-22-2009, 06:48 PM

good idea my tranny mount is shot so i was just wondering
