a few pictures from bishopscourt. I managed a new personal best ET of 13.396 .. all the hard work and late nights paid off.

hopefully now with abit more weight shedding, better tyre's and the nitrous oxide kit fitted i can lower my ET's even more! :thumbup:

Great thread Stephen, some serious work gone into that car. It's a very quick bus too, fair play to you. I love the green lip!

[C-Rex]

Welcome to the site you should stick around its a nice CRX you have

[crazy eyes]

Are you doing all the mechanical work on this yourself now?

Did somebody else on here not own this car too?

Class car btw

[C-Rex]

Yea the car was bought in the UK and brought to Ireland by Ronan (jtswift) on here..

Stephen is doing the work on it now yea thats why were probably not going to see it again for aaaaaaaages

[crazy eyes]

Yeah I thought it was that car alright.


It's nice to see a few lads building there own cars. I'd love to build my on Crx but I wouldn't know where to start.

[jtswift_2000]

Savage build thread Steve. Nice to do the work yourself and I'm surprised how poorly it had been handled by the mechanic.

Great work.
