1991 Honda CRX Drag Car Build
Well I miss being on MF so I am going to put my lil project car build on here too 
It looked like this when I bought it...
It was a 1991 Honda CRX HF Shell for $300.
I knew she was in rough shape, but for $300 I said screw it I will make her fly one day and I bought her.
I took her back to my college, and parked her in our parking lot to sit until I could buy parts and work on her..
She had nasty interior, a broken windshield, missing axles, etc.

Here are some more pictures of her in the lot.
Well my girlfriend and I hated how nasty the inside was and I was thinking of building my first fiberglass or aluminum dash, so out went all of the interior except the headliner.
It was SOOOO dirty!
She needs parts!
Here is the first pile of crap we threw out of her.
Her underside!
Girl and I cleaning out the gross dirt and whatever else was in there.

Stock Brakes...
Ooooohhhhh shiny new DA Knuckle, Caliper, and Rotor!
Too bad the other knuckle I had was another driver's side and not a passenger's side... I threw a set of EK knuckles on instead. DA Calipers and rotors fit it... My camber is waaaay positive though!

Well she turns over.. But the main relay clicks really fast before i try to crank it... Realized I had no gas in it haha, so we will try again soon.
So my traction bar is on.. It replaces everything in the front middle... So yeah I broke out the cutoff wheel and cut the front end off haha.. Looks pretty clean to me The bar mounts where the tow hooks are and has mounts for a half size radiator, and an intercooler.

Decent update....
So lots of work has been done... Um.. Yeah... Carbon Fiber hood is on... Hood pins are on and working... Passengers side is a lil tight but thats okay... It wont fly off if I go drive... Radiator hoses are on and clamped... coolant is in... needs a bit more I think for sure. Um.. Some of the gauges have been mounted. not really setup, just kinda mounted there...
So here are my problems haha.. Well fuel was um not pumping.. straight up jumped the pump and nada.. So a new pump from xenocron was sourced... 255 ltr/hr pump fuel pump. We put that on and wallah fuel in my lines and a leak at the brand new fuel filter. gah.. I forgot and couldnt find the copper washer.. Then I broke a bolt.. in the bolt...that holds the fuel line on the filter... Effff.... but i got it out and then tapped it back out. then found a copper washer for it haha.. FML.. So yeah then we try to start it and nothing...still no fuel... So now new NGK Iridiums, and new Duralast 7mm wires. Got good spark, nice and blue So yeah then still no fuel. The injectors have power, but they arent pulsing.. Wont ground out when it cranks like it is supposed to. GRRRR... So now we are trying to track that down. I think I might have messed up something in my wiring. Has to be the TDC Sensor, the Crank Sensor or the Cylinder Sensor right? haha... Well that is tomorrow... and I got to figure out a way to figure out how to get the gas tank mounted again.. bolt was rusted up and broke in half coming out..
So now pics..
I will hopefully have a video tomorrow for you all of the car running!
It does crank up when you spray carb cleaner down the intake...
So we found a ground wire not hooked up... And I rewired the TDC, Crank Positiohn Sensor and the Cylinder Sensor... She started up and ran on her own... haha we all about crapped ourselves...
Now to tidy up and swap the knuckles back to 92 teggy ones..
oh and here you go
