Well the Honda's wiring had been cut to pieces many many times so I ditched the whole stock mess. I ran new all new wires for the deck, comps and rear fill. Dedicated fuse block for the deck and a soft start relay for the remote wire to the the amps. I scored on the the rca's and got a couple ofsweet fuse blocks. One of the blocks has 2 zero in and 2 zero out and accepts 2 mini anl the other block takes 3 zero in and 1 zero out and 2-4 gauge out this block accepts 4 fuses. I haven't seen any nicer blocks.

Tomorrow I am going to order the body kit DONE AT THE BODY SHOP. NO wing! Also there is a major problem with the front control arms they are bent and the ball joints are bad. So to fix this and make it street-able I need new control arms. I hope to have the car off to paint by friday. I'm going to be out of money until taxes come after getting the car presentable. Hopefully I can afford the amp. If I am going to have issues I will get one of the alts a 270 amp fully adjustable to 18 volt and maybe a smaller amp I hope not but I may have to. I got socked with tags for 3 vehicles this month and insurance for 2.

Color will be Bone White with blacked out lights.

Better shot of the body kit: This is a urethane and it cost double the normal kits.

I normally post on SMD because it's heavily stacked with California competitors. Only a few are aware of this build dummys. Shizzon in your experience or knowledge bass how do the guys in S1 get away with running saz 1500's? Pm with the answer if you would I wouldn't want everyone to know the answer to this one.

[Soapbox 7]

Where is Steve Mead doesnt' he also have a crx.

[emh9009 199]

Nice false floor, how do you plan to secure it? Mine isn't working out.. still trying to figure out what to do.

Good choice on the body kit, that's the only one acceptable. But stock is always better Nice work!

[Soapbox 7]

I have bolts that run through the body holding the 2x4's down. When I get the car back I'll take a better shot it came out good. Should be out of the paint shop tomarrow or the next day.

[Soapbox 7]

Uhmm I know I posted a couple of different choices on an amp butt.. it's none of them. Order was placed today Let's see. What amp is able to put out 6k at less than 10 volts on a single battery in a street a setup?

[porkchop 304]

i never been at that level yet!

lol

[Soapbox 7]

With 7 of ten teammates all doin over 150 it was buggin me to only be at 144. With that said we have one @155, a 154, a 153. To top that off 2 other teammates bought warhorses. What was I suppose two do? I ended up getting a dc9k

[mccleery3 166]
