my intro post (lots o pics)

The z28 looks really good but, like everyone else, I'm a lot more interested in the RWD CRX! We need more pics and info on it!

Are you doing some sort of cantilever suspension? Cause if so that would be so nice

i still bet the Z28 whoops the hondas ass but the honda gets the WOW factor for being rwd

[CyanJaguar]

cool build. looks slick, but can I ask why you built it with the compressor inlet facing inwards towards the heat and limiting space for air filters, vs outwards?

yes i am.  here is the beginning of the rear suspension.

Amazing Fab skills!!!
Also, that CRX is clean!!!

all 4 wheels are on the ground.

That is awesome man. I saw a guy with a civic hatch i believe, with a custom cantilever system. He used the rear shocks off of a 06-07 honda cbr like you (well those look like cbr shocks).  Would yours being rwd now would that affect anything, or do you think they will have to be re valved?

actually, the spring rates are too strong for this application.  i couldn't find the spring rates anywhere online and it turns out they are almost 700#'s.  i am currently looking to have some springs made for them that are around 250.  as for re-valving, i'm not sure.  i believe i could get around that by just putting some lighter weight oil in them.

Sounds great, cant wait to see the finished product.

Wow, that Camaro engine bay is stuffed full!

The CRX project is awesome too.  Can't wait to see it all finished.

Killer builds

[88stangbanger]

camaro is nice but seen a million of em. now that CRX! i wana see more. i dont like hondas but seems like you got a good build going on. as much as this is a domestic board i think everyone here wants to see this one. RWD for the win!

[weirtech]

right now the car is together, because i had to move my shop and put 4 wheels on it to move the car along with everything else.  the engine and rear end are coming out probably early next week so i can use them for an upcoming show i have a booth at.

the rear suspension needs some adjustment because some of my measurements were off, but nothing serious.  also, i'm trying to source some softer springs because the current springs are far too stiff (700lb/in).  i'm looking for something in the 200 range.

here is a video of the camaro from page 1.  978hp 1300tq

Very Nice!

I got my Camaro when I was 14 and and started making it a "race car" day one. Granted it was (and still is) still street legal, but not such a great daily driver. The reason I am here is to gain the knowledge to build a twin turbo setup for it.

I got my first "daily driver" when I was 18. Just so happens it was a little white 91 CRX si. I always wondered what it would have been like with rear wheel drive. Man, you have to keep us updated on how the little Honda turns out!!!!!
