So i ran out of cars to work on this saturday and i have had a crx sitting on the side of my house without and engine, transmission, brakes, exhaust, and other misc stuff and decided to put something into it. i decided that this is gonna be a budget build with building with stuff i can find around the house. i went to my garage and found an engine and transmission. i then went to my shed and found some piping, radiator, and fans. i gave my rear mount to jerren so i did have to go to the junkyard to get one of those. when i got back home, i pushed the crx into the garage and got started on it. this is whats done so far:

i ended up window welding the front and rear mounts because its a budget build and i had 1/2 a tube of window weld in the garage:

this next week im gonna see what kind of suspension parts i can find and put a suspension together and add brakes and an exhaust to it. probably gonna add an ecu too.

Nice. Looks like you got some stuff done! Looks like it could be a pretty fun budget build once it's done.

should be fun. nothing fancy, just a typical mid to high 13 second car.

my overall goal it to spend less than $150 on all parts. and thats with me allocating $100 for a set of springs.

rhb5 turbo. i wouldnt go dsm turbo due to lack of reliability

window weld stuff doesnt add much to vibration, or at least shouldnt. its not acutal 3m window weld, just some stuff that i had laying around. the main goal wasnt really to decrease engine movement per harder mounts, intention was to fix the tears in the mounts by filling the holes.

yes its a stock motor. stock pistions, stock rods, original honda headgasket, stock head, stock cam, stock cam gear, stock water pump, stock oil pump, stock flywheel..... all engine internals are stock.
