Nahh... I had some financial issues and was forced to sell it to a friend of mine, and the car had about 4-5 different b swaps in it afterwards. Then a month ago it got stolen and completely stripped :(
I've been building up my CRX over the past year or so. Once i get some more pictures of it, i'll link you to a showcase thread or something! haha.
Still rocking a modified single cam though! haha... 1camftw.
Re: gfrg88's Prelude build..
one cam only ftw!!!! Def wanna see pics of that beast...
Re: gfrg88's Prelude build..
1cam4life!!!! until i b-swap though...
Re: gfrg88's Prelude build..
:flash: hey maybe you don't need those ebay coilovers to lower that rust bucket :rice: more :stick:, and all we need is a BFH, and maybe a cutoff wheel too
Re: gfrg88's Prelude build..
BFH??? why??? pointless.. I'd rather have some adjustable height.. btw, GTFO of my forum :bandance:
Re: gfrg88's Prelude build..
Btw, little update. I've got everything put together.. Just need to a way of getting the half size rad in, wiring up fan, and getting new tps hooked.. drain oil, replace oil filter, add coolant, then start up...... god!! I've been saying I'm going to start it up for about a month now!!! lol
Re: gfrg88's Prelude build..
just do the gangster lean on the half rad. i remember back in the day i installed one with angle iron attached to the existing setup to step it down lower so it would clear the hood. i didn't have much of a problem with potentially scraping but this was at stock height so i dunno. i wish we could find a nice half sized rad that was about 3 inches shorter than the civic radiator.
Re: gfrg88's Prelude build..
Yeah, I need to figure it out.. Idk what to do with it.. why does everything have to be sooo fucking difficult on this car :banghead:
I guess that's why I originally liked the car.. I just don't have to time to work on it as often as I want to.. I just wanna drive the damn car and enjoy :rant:

Re: gfrg88's Prelude build..

Re: gfrg88's Prelude build..
holy engrish giovanni, i'd say rendon rubbed off in his last post rofl...
Re: gfrg88's Prelude build..
lmfao!!! I was drunk when I posted that!! And pissed off at my car!!! If I would have not done the wire tuck, it would probably even be boosted by now!! haha... Rendon, your how to doesn't really work too well on our ludes.. I'm bringing my welder from my parents up this weekend and throwing the rad on!! Have to finish it, have no choice, I need to be outta of my place before the end of next week :eek:

Is your car running yet????
Re: gfrg88's Prelude build..
hahahaha, not yet, this weather has slowed down my busting out a large electrical machine and performing some welding!!! although, i have gotten a SHIT ton done, and plan to work on it tonight, despite the weather!
Re: gfrg88's Prelude build..
Dude, what's the status on this thing, mines running, what about yours? I'm going to try my best to get this thing driving before the weekend. It will be pretty rough still, it will more than likely have my old suspension on it, and lots of loose ends. But I figured I could bring to the car show this weekend, not to show, just to drive!
Re: gfrg88's Prelude build..
i think he's moving so he probably doesn't have a way to work on it. not sure though, he hasn't been on in a bit.
Re: gfrg88's Prelude build..
He said he had to finish before he moved though.
Re: gfrg88's Prelude build..
that's true he did, but maybe finished it but doesn't have internet now to sign on and give us a status update.
Re: gfrg88's Prelude build..
vids and pics coming.... been busy peeps lol
Re: gfrg88's Prelude build..
fuck.. I just wrote this huge story and don't know what happened......
anyways, I got everything "done." Threw battery back on, turned ignition on, heard fuel priming, then smelled fuel, then saw fuel lol... Still cranked it over, wanted to start but didn't :(
Have to check timing, and replace all injector seals.
Also, I've moved out, but haven't turned in keys to my place just yet.. So I forgot my fucking camera.. Tomorrow is racing night, so I won't have pics, nor be able to work on it till Thursday :sigh:
