drivefast27 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 i just bought a 1990 crx si. this is my first import car and i am not sure where to start with mods. thinking about a motor swap and possibly a turbo or supercharger. want a fast car that handles very well. i have always been into american muscle and its time to change things. muscle cars are fast but dont handle worth a damn. car is in pretty good condition but i need to freshen it up or just rebuild the whole thing to handle more power and torque. anyone got some advice for a import rookie. i have been working on cars for a few years so i do all my own work, except for machine work and welding.

Valo151 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Do a ZC swap, get an 88-89 integra ECU, some bolt ons, a clutch, coilovers, strut bars. all of that is cheap and you should be able to run low 15's easy. it'll handle great too because it's such a small, light car.

xalexjx@yahoo.com Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 clutch is unnessacary, make a car plan, incase you decide to swap down the road, very many options, the basics are a good spot to start, make sure your bearings, ball joints, tie rod ends, brakes and all other maintence stuff is done, then invest in some 16inch rims or something, exhasut,(full cat back) header, intake, plan it out before you start spending money, thats my input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
