DC2_lsvtec: Project CRX Build Thread

gutting, [almost] complete

rewiring has commenced.

i just need to get the tar out with dry ice man, this project is fun. its nothing like my dc2 because i have another car to drive and im not fed up with it. building cars is actually fun! woot

my 'dash' (as of now) i ditched the heater core and fans because this is a track specific car


inside as a whole


the worst of the wiring...but the colors look like they match up for the most part. im going to SOLDER everything. not just twist it and duct tape it :dead: (previous owner was a MORON)


dash again w/o a flash



theres a Mini-Me and a turbo going in there. waiting on a flywheel... or im just going to put the stock one in if the guy takes too long...

looking good thats what the inside of my crx looks like right now too... i have herd of the dry ice trick but dont fully understand how it works???

 

Yes, it would be a good idea to explain how the process works??

 

basically, you have crushed dry ice (or pellets, but in a snow like form is the best) and let the ice freeze the tar for 15 mins or so. then take a hammer and chisel to it and it should come off pretty well. ill document it when i do it (probably later this week)

some people had residue left over once it chipped off, then you scrubb it down with goo-gone

happy de-taring your cars haha

its a good way to lose 10 or so lbs hsnap:

 

ok update

took out an additional 10lbs today this is the way to remove tar. crushed up dry ice. then pound the tar with a hammer (rubber mallet) and it will crack off





end result (before cleaning with soap and water)

 

looks alot better with that out... :thumbup:

 

agreed
and its also a lot lighter haha

right now im preparing the motor to go in and wiring the car :rocks:

she'll be moving soon enough

 

Feel like doing a write-up kev?

 

Looks awesome kev. Keep us posted. Do you have any pics of the complete inside of the car.

 

Keep up the good work!

 

as in complete (together)? no, i never had a full interior in this car

 

No, sorry I meant a shot of the entire inside of the car. Not all put together. Like a shot from the back of the car looking in.

 

ill make sure to get one tomorrow when its light out

 

:interesting: cool!

 

can't wait:thumbup:

 

oh yeah... forgot to take that pic.... and now the hatch is packed with 8 tires/rims haha :slap:

 

seeing as the motor is in, it was time for an update haha

this was probably the easiest motor ive ever installed.




time to wire her up and get her on the road

 

looking good man... what radiator is that??? i know its to long for a half and about 2 inch's short of an EF radiator???

 

its a EF one. idk, i got it for cheap from a guy i know. w/e, it works, ill fab a 'bracket' haha

 

what kind of power are you going for and whats the set up internally? whats the goal of your project?
