Windraver,

There is a pretty clean white first gen DX in a junk yard near Fresno. I say it on Sat. while I was there, do you want me to pull the nose piece for you? I can find out how much it costs plus the shipping cost to get it to you if you like. I want to see you finish your car. I kind of want a first gen HF now.

 

[shorty_boy]

See, people are offering to help you with your car, for free. Save the 1st Gens.

 

[shorty_boy]

I hope you find that time in the near future.

 

[shorty_boy]

sorry to hear that. kill switch is needed for these cars. they are really easy to steal, both gens.

 

[shorty_boy]

go for mpg... petrol is expensive...plus you you have a light car. Just my opinion.

 

[shorty_boy]

Windraver,

Glad to see you back. I am almost done with College and can't wait. I was inspired by your android integration and decided to pick up a Raspberry Pi and go the Gnu/Linux route instead (I am a FOSS guy.) I am planning on using the ODB2 capability of my ODB to Bluetooth port to also monitor what the car is doing in real time. I am also working on a link with my phone. I already have the infotainment system working, but I need a good touch screen interface that fits in a double din receptacle. Once I do this, I can finally fix my climate control by taking out the Prelude CC and linking it to my integrated setup.

I can't wait to see your pictures.

 

[shorty_boy]

Nice work. Thanks for adding the updates. This was like a belated birthday present.

 

[shorty_boy]

I say black or gray. I am thinking about painting my rims. The California sun killed the finish.

 

[shorty_boy]

Wind,

I am having ab rain fart, could you Google and post a picture of what you are missing? Are you talking about the rear engine/transmission mount? If so, I have one.

 

[shorty_boy]

I see. No, I don't have a spare number 11. I have the actual mounts. My bracket looks a little different though. JeffWilliamsUSA might have one. He is parting out one of his CRXs. Sorry about that man.

 

[shorty_boy]

I can't wait to see it. Can you not use one from a Second gen CRX or Fourth gen Civic?

 

[shorty_boy]

Ah. I see. Good luck.

 

[shorty_boy]

Nice to see that you did not give up on this.

 

[shorty_boy]

Nice progress man. I am glad to see that you did not give up on her.

 

[shorty_boy]

Bravo for your drive and dedication.

 

[shorty_boy]

Nice work.

My wife was exempt on the intake when she was trying to smog and register her CRX so you may be exempt. She has a Short Ram intake from AEM but it was made as a mod to a mid nineties civic. They said she could have had dryer hose connected to the intake and it would not matter. I found that funny but her car could not pass smog by 100 Nx. I guess it breathed too well.

 

[shorty_boy]

My wife was in cali. But we were in the rural area so maybe not so strick. She had to go to a ref.

 

[shorty_boy]

Congrats. I know you felt awesome and a bit relieved when you finally drove it. Real dedication man. About how much time and money would you say that you spent on the swap. A friend of mine has a 86HF and the poor engine is shot. I have my HF engine and ECU from my 89 that i am thinking of giving him. He would need a D tranny and the engine needs a new head gasket cause it is leaky. I figure if it only costs him a few hundred to get this in, i can buy a gasket to give him and help him source a d trans. He is eco minded like me so nothing fancy.
