End of the year? Depending on if I sell the wagon I just traded for I will have a swap and paint.

What about you dare?

If everything goes as plan, 1st I want the hatch painted and up & running so that can become the DD. Then the CRX is going under the knife and wont see daylight for years.


The problem with the hatch is the damn hole in the roof. I want to swap the skin out, but I dont have the resources to do it. So, I got to outsource (and this suppose to be a budget build). I could replace glass of the sunroof, but it's going to be hard to match up since the original supplier is no longer. Last, I could somehow make a CF plug for it. I'm going to look into this more

Motor wise, the hatch has a blown head gasket (easy fix). So I'm just got to replace it with the d15b2 that JDMJAYDC2 gave me. I want to rebuild it 1st for boost. The only problem i'm going to run into is rods. There's only one aftermarket rod (crower rods) for the d15b2 and it's high as hell. I want FJT rods (best ban for the buck) but they only offer them for the 1.6L (or d15b) and that sux! FJT say its going to be a few months before they produces them. So I can rebuild the bottom end and keep the stock rod (which would be stupid since thats weak link) or wait (which I dont want to do).

Option 2 is all motor
I dont want to go all motor with a d15b2, but I may. I could throw some zc piston in the bottom end and slap a z6 head on it (I got the head for free from a friend ). It should be quicker then a d15b/z6/y8, but I want boost in the DD.

Option 3 is fuk it
Throw the motor in and say **** it.


Hopefully FJT comes through with the rods soon! Everything else for the rebuild its cheap as hell. I can rebuild the bottom end for less than $200 (with new pistons).
