Lighten the train

[blaknoize]

Well, I'm gettin to the point of actually upgrading and what I refer to as "refreshing" my CRX.

While I'm at it, I'd like to overall lighten the drivetrain a bit. Since this chassis needs many new components; from wheel bearings to control arm bushings; I'd figure I would upgrade my clutch, suspension, exhaust and so on which may just include a total motor swap.

As far as the motor goes. Would the B18b be a better fit (for future boost, since I MAY go that far) or would an H-series? That said motor may be rebuilt to put up with the boost, which I wont go into detail, as I have no idea what kinda boost pressure a Honda motor should take. Otherwise, I'll stay N/A.

But as far as components, what are some of you guys running? Suspension kits, brakes, exhaust systems, wheel and tires setups, clutch/pressure plate combination's, take it as far as possible if ur willing to leave information.

I actually have the money to do a lil something and would like to make my ride something to look at. As always, any and all info would be appreciated. So ONE day, I can offically rock a EFSquad window sticker up north.

I will leave a little info:

Any B-Series will fit a lot better than an H-Series that's for sure. And if you boost your stock B18B you'll be lucky to see more than 250 WHP (boost PSI is actually irrelevant)

Do not use Competition Clutch (CC), they suck. I've gone through 3-4 now; either the disc or PP goes. Which BTW I do have a brand new ACT (Heavy Duty) PP which I also have one in my car & it's nice.

With suspension, I'm happy with my full KSport coilovers and haven't had any problems with them, they ride very good. Besides that the Koni/Ground Control seems to be very popular & effective in the Honda world.

I've never seen a point in buying $400-$500 exhaust systems, I have always just bought a muffler & had a shop (such as Mainstream) make custom piping (2.5") for it. If you have a short shifter and/or the Suspension Tech rear sway bar then they can always make the exhaust work around it.
