Here's my Y-49 build. I purchased this car from crxmanpat on 3/2/13. Click his name for his build. Pat took GREAT care of his car!! I'm the 3rd owner and this CR-X has been in AZ all of its life!
My first goal of the car is to overhaul the suspension. This is my second CRX. I overhauled the suspension on my last CRX with the E.S. master kit and it made a huge difference. The ES was good but I wanted to try another route. Either OEM, suja or hardrace. I chose OEM because you can't beat the quality!
Pat took care of the engine part for me. He replaced the stock engine with a JDM ZC SOHC Non VTEC March 17, 2012 at ~210,700. While he was at it he installed a new clutch.
Here's the car as it sat 5 days ago. I purchased the nose mask (2 of them) from stylin trucks. There's a thread with the info here on this site. You can't beat the price of $32 shipped! Quality and fitment is good.
The stock shifter was replaced with a B&M dual bend short throw shifter. Shifter bushings while I was at it. I love the feel of a shorter throw. It makes driving that much more fun!
While I had the car up on jack stands I cleaned up the front bumper black molding with back to black. Was a chore but it turned out nice.
Next up was getting all the suspension pieces together and various moving parts. I plan on doing this one time only so I'll be replacing everything while I'm in there. Well almost everything. The brake components are good so I'll be reusing those parts. I got a lot of info from AZCRXSI. Click his name for his awesome Y-49 build thread. Thanks for the help brother! He has "influenced" me to take the extra steps to clean up the wheel wells and make everything look pretty.
This is my parts list:
All oem bushings.
Moog balljoints,
Moog tie rods,
Moog rear bearing assembly.
Moog UCA.
Koni sport shocks.
GC coil sleeves.
Custom made Extended top hats from stock top hats.
Rear Ingalls camber kit.
Koyo front bearings.
A.R.P. Wheel studs.
POR 15 paint.
Rustoleum undercoating.
Hawk HPS rear pads.
OEM axle nuts and rotor screws.
I started disassembling the front end a couple of days ago. Here's a few shots with the wheel wells cleaned up after using a brush and simple green.
Disassembling started and action shots of bushings and hub being pressed out.
The press area.
I purchase this from Leon here on CRXCom. Now waiting on its long journey from the Netherlands.
