Hey Guys,

Heard a lot about this forum and after reading and looking in it for a while i thought the time has come to introduce myself here!
I'm Glenn, 23 years of age and a crx owner for about 4,5 years now!
Bought the car bone stock, but after searching and seeing some very cool crx's i decided to change it to my own taste.
The car has around the 170.000 kilometres on the clock and has a D16z5 (Dohc ZC) that i recently converted to OBD1.

The car is in no way a daily driver and actually sees more garage than open road!
Most of the times i use it to go to meetings, events or trackdays.
Don't race it a lot, but i think the power, weight and manouverability is very good fun on the tracks!
I only raced it at two tracks so far.... The Nurburgring Nordschleife (GER) and Zandvoort (NL).

Spec list on the car so far:

Engine:
- OBD1 conversion:
-TD43u distributor
- Rywire distributor jumper OBD0--->OBD1
-OEM 4 wire o2 sensor
-Rywire o2 extension cable
-Boomslang conversion harness OBD0--->OBD1
-P06 OBD1 ECU (runs on a basemap now, waiting for a retune!)
- 3" Blox velocity stack
- Skunk2 megapower catback
- DC Sports 4-2-1 ceramic header
- SRS decat
- Odyssey PC680MJ relocated to the trunk

Suspension:
- Skunk2 racing Pro-S full coiloverkit
- Skunk2 racing Camber correction kit (front)
- Full-race Tractionbar
- Energy suspension masterkit
- Energy suspension sway bar bushings front and back
- Energy suspension trailing arm bushings
- Prothane PU motor mount inserts
- EE8 262mm brakesetup
- Brembo maxx brake discs (front)
- Ferrodo DS2500 pads
- Goodridge brakelines
- cheap-ass strutbar (upper-front)
- cheap-ass strutbar (upper-rear)
- neuspeed rear lower tie-bar

Footwork:
- 16" OEM Enkei Honda wheels (EP3 replica 4x100 ET45)
- Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires

Exterior:
- OEM sidemirrors in colour of the car
- OEM taillights in colour of the car
- OEM wiper delete plug (from an EG)
- Yellow lightbulbs
- Honda access window visors
- Amber corners
- J's racing replica lip (Polyurethane)
- Skunk2 racing windshield decal
- Yellow DLAA fogs

Interior:
- Skunk2 racing billet shifknob
- Nardi torino steering wheel (black/red stitching)
- OEM/JDM 3rd brakelight (EF8)
- Rollbar
- Recaro SR Speed seats (Black/red.....Best seats ever!)
- QSP four point harnesses
- Red QSP shoulderpads
- electric windows (from an EE8)
- EE8 doorpanels
- EE8 dashboard
- Clifford alarmsystem
- Sparco Settanta handbrake cover (Black/red)

I do have some nice pics, but some of them are a little old and does not have some of the updates listed above, and some do! :)
Making pictures is not my strong point....., but a friend of mine makes some cool ones! 8)

Thanks! :D

@ C-rex IRL: nice! The nurburgring is such a great experience every time you drive it.
Only downside on it is all those GT3RS's, M3's and mini's........

Today i did my actual first drive since it was converted to OBD1, but it definetly needs a retune.
Between the 2,5 and 3000 rpm (low range) and 4,5 and 5000 rpm (mid range) it holds back. But it definetly goes smoother through the entire rpm range..... :)

Couldn't think of any reason why 16's would be too big?
Sure the weight is a different story..... Being a OEM Honda wheel it actually is quite heavy, on the bright side it has all the right numbers for a crx!

I bought the lip through a company here in Holland, just ordered and he took care of the rest!
The foglights were bought on CRX-UK!
