Thanks! i wish i had some more engine related ideas to implement on this project. maybe somthing will come to mind. im doing the first oil change on it today since doing the swap so im going to start planning the aero while its on the lift
I did a mud flap delete while I had it on the lift. Well not really delete just modification. As you can see in the first photo I trimmed off the part of the mud flap that catches the air but left the rest too divert the air back under the car as you can see in the other pics. Plus when I make my rear diffuser it will give me something o attach it too

Nicely done. I did the mod in a similar way for similar reasons. But my cut might be slightly rougher.

Thanks! I did a rough cut at first and used a bench grinder and wire wheel to grind the plastic down smooth. It worked out nicely. I also rough measured the front for a grill block and I just ordered a p07-g01 from Latvia :/ I found it on eBay and they are rare. Basjoos has one in his one cx and it's supposed to be better efficiency and power. Can't wait to test it
I love how I essentially did the same thing as you except using a 91 civic and a crx hf engine. Having a sedan is a lot more practical IMO than the hatch since I frequently drive with passenger. Also I like how you maintained the shift up indicator and cruise control light. I'm going to have to try that on my own car.
thanks! i really want to do a crx next i have several lean burn engines laying around in my shop. and like 6 lean burn ecus haha.
yea the shift indicator thing was pretty simple and straight forward. i like it alot. i dont ever use cruise but its nice to know that it works as it should
I think they have egr. I'm not really a hundred percent sure yet. Supposedly it is tuned for more power and might let lean burn engage longer. Of course most foreign countries run higher octane fuel so that might be a negative if it starts pinging. I haven't installed it yet but I'm curious to see what it does. I might wait til it gets warmer so the constantly changing cold temperatures don't become a variable with cold starts.
