alittleleftofnowhere Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hi everyone. I'm new as you've probably gathered. I drive a 91 Honda CRX Si (turbo b18c 297hp) & a 95 Mazda Miata & am hoping to pick up a sport bike in the near future. Anyways, here's some pictures (no engine pics as the CRX is in the process of being parted out so I can start another project... 297 isn't enough kids.)

airjordan223 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 welcome to HF man. that crx must be pretty quick. have you taken it to the track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittleleftofnowhere Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Unfortunately as of yet, I have not had the opportunity to do so. It's quick enough to be entertaining, but I'd really like to see more out of it. :rockon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 have you built up the motor at all? how much boost are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittleleftofnowhere Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 have you built up the motor at all? how much boost are you running? The motor is at current stock with the exception of higher flow injectors & ARP head studs. It's running 13.5 lbs on a turbonetics t3/t4 .57 trim.

airjordan223 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 wow im surprised you can run that much boost on stock internals. what did you tune it with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittleleftofnowhere Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 wow im surprised you can run that much boost on stock internals. what did you tune it with? It was dyno tuned by John Vega (phearable.net - I have a lot of respect for this guy.) on ectune. Thus far I've seen no problems at this boost level.

alittleleftofnowhere Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 so why are you parting it out so soon? Bored of it I suppose. It happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 what are you looking at getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittleleftofnowhere Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 what are you looking at getting? That much I haven't decided yet. I may keep the shell and do another swap, or a may do something else entirely. A lot of that depends on what I manage to get monetary wise from parting it.

alittleleftofnowhere Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Welcome. Don't tell me the Miata is your daily : bleh : The Miata makes a fabulous daily - the most fun I've had going the speed limit... with four wheels... Sorry. ;) The CRX is way too much fun while accelerating past the speed limit to be a daily... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, here's some pictures (no engine pics as the CRX is in the process of being parted out so I can start another project... 297 isn't enough kids.) i had an interesting conversation with some people on here the other day about how they think miatas are only drove by gays and lesbians and are horrible cars even though there is so much you can do with them anyway welcome! ive never been a fan of crx's but i think its cool you actually did something with it AND got it tuned.. i know so many people with b's that are slow as crap cause they dont build them right and they dont get them tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 its kind of funny how people pick on miatas but if you go to Skip Barber racing school at Laguna Seca guess what they use....MIATAS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelSolSweetie Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 its kind of funny how people pick on miatas but if you go to Skip Barber racing school at Laguna Seca guess what they use....MIATAS! dont get chris started on miatas (Tko)... he'll go on about how they are the most raced cars in stuff i was looking at getting a miata till i discovered a del sol had more to its looks and i thought i would fit better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 yeah i think mazdas in general are the most raced car on any given day. i still prefer sol > miata because there is NO room inside the miata whereas the sol theres surprisingly a lot. i had to move a miata into the garage when i was doing the body work on my sol and i could barely get my feet into the foot well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 ^true...and when I think of Miata's on the streets, I imagine old lady or old gay man drivine lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittleleftofnowhere Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 its kind of funny how people pick on miatas but if you go to Skip Barber racing school at Laguna Seca guess what they use....MIATAS! Exactly... although, I kind of like it that way. Things that don't appeal to the 16-24 age bracket have cheaper insurance. ive never been a fan of crx's but i think its cool you actually did something with it AND got it tuned.. i know so many people with b's that are slow as crap cause they dont build them right and they dont get them tuned I originally wanted a Del Sol... couldn't find one in my price range at the time and ended up with the CRX. yeah i think mazdas in general are the most raced car on any given day. i still prefer sol > miata because there is NO room inside the miata whereas the sol theres surprisingly a lot. i had to move a miata into the garage when i was doing the body work on my sol and i could barely get my feet into the foot well I originally felt quite cramped, (and I'm only 5'7) but as you get used to driving it you find that it fits like a comfortable glove. The inside of the Miata feels like a cockpit to me... which I found appealing. Not to mention, as a fan of just driving in general I thought it might be fun to get some seat time in something RWD. I still don't believe RWD is "better" per say, just different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
