still slowly stripping the paint off the cage still. its been so damn cold in my warehouse that my hands cramp up when i work on the car. but i have the supercharger ready to go on the engine.

 

get a little heater! damnnn cant wait to see it all come together.

 

any updates before christmas?

 

yea, the roll cage is all done and painted finally. i fabbed up the seat brackets and had my buddy weld them in so now the seat is positioned nicely. just been cleaning up the engine and the transmission to get ready to put them in and see how it all fits. ill take some pics when i get the inside painted and looking good.

 

UPDATE!!!

cleaned up the engine

got the seat and steering wheel in


my buddy fab up the rear brackets because the guy that had the car before me thought it was a good idea to take the stock ones out. im going to fit up and design some brackets and have my buddy weld them in because i suck badly at welding.


its becoming a real car almost!


merry xmas to me! new tool box


finally put back the supercharger after i powdercoated the intake mani. still debating on wether or not to use it




got my dash from jegs in the mail today. its going to need some major trimming.


for some reason, the guy that had the car before me used a cutting torch on the upper strut plate.



so i made a plate. i still need to drill the holes in it and weld it in, but you get the idea.


cage is all wrapped up and the inside is almost ready for paint. probably a good 3-4 more hours of prep

 

nice! theres alot of Fit owners that loves CRX im one of them =) use to have one myself and is planning on getting another one =) keep me posted so is the Fit K20 yet? =P

 

Very very nice Kelsey.

 

Looking good, I just got some Wilwood brakes for my CRX too.

 

no k20 yet but as soon as the rex is done, i am going to start shopping for parts for the swap.

yea wilwoods are the best bang for the buck. i just wish i had some slotted rotors =(

 

Yeah me too.. I have the 12.19" kit with plain rotors. When it's time to change I'll be going with slotted and maybe drilled and more than likely switch to an 11" rotor so that I can fit 15s. What size are yours?

 

mine are 11 inch and the calipers are radial mounted. the fucked up thing about it is that fastbrakes didnt drill the tapered holes for mounting the rotors so i had to drill them myself and i failed miserably. so for now, they are just going to be sandwiched by the wheel.

Nice!!! Keep us updated

 

wow. a supercharged b16b is quite the daily driver.

 

haha actually its going to be a track car now. unless i can figure out how to register it.

 

can't wait to see the finished product. I'm sure it's going to look hawt, just like your Fit

 

honestly, not trying to be a dick, but did going k series cross your mind?

 

yea, it did but if i bought a k series, it would go in my fit and not the rex. the reason i got the b16b is because i got an awesome deal on it and it is probably the best b series engine that honda ever produced.

 

This thread is getting me pumped. I can't wait to get started with my DB8.

 

beautiful build... everytime I look at it makes me happy lol... Good job, seriously.
