Crx Zc conversion

[crxdunboyne]

i have this on a few sites so i thought i might as well stick it up here with the new section and all

Here are the car as I bought it












I bought a crx that was past fixing the last year, this was my donor car,

First of all my plan is to keep my jdm bumpers and add a j’s racing lip and some rear lip on it,


I have the engine dropped out of it

sorry about being craply written
more updates soonbt


I have got my wiring loom in put in to the inside of the car and ready to connect up to the engine,





The fuel tank has been changed to let the car have fuel injection on the 16v engine by have a fuel pump in the tank



I have never seen two cars that are suppose to be the same as different as my two crx I have had to cut two brackets out of the old crx and mounted them up in my new one




I have now put my air conditioning back in, i know most would take it out but i love it so im putting it back in, I know it reduces power and adds weigh,



I have also put my heater back in




My dash is ready to go back in and connect my clocks and heater controls and radio

crx have a problem were water go into the brake light and floods it and floods the boot, I discover a bit of rust but luckily I found it before it got bad, i have put silicone my lights to seal them, it has fixed all the light but one, I’m going to check what I can do to fix this


i have changed my brake servo to put disc all round
