my CRX2000
ok, i've been working on this for a couple years. here is where i started. 1989 crx si that i've owned for 13 years. 2000 ap1 f20c. s14 jdm rear end with viscous type lsd. when i bought the drivetrain, it came with the rear end complete, except for the subframe. i'd researched (on this forum) that the stock s2000 rear ends were not that happy being abused so i was able to sell it all and get the s14 complete rear end for 2/3rds what i sold the s2000 rear for. more money for the project.
i already had a dh-racing tb so i figured i'd bore the intake for it.
before cutting
after preliminary cutting
some powdercoating
test fitting the engine/tranny
engine is mounted, but still need a tranny mount

turbo manifold started
rear end tacked in place
rear suspension started
wheels on the ground!
the rear suspension needs some adjustment because some of my measurements were off, but nothing serious. also, i'm trying to source some softer springs because the current springs are far too stiff (700lb/in). i'm looking for something in the 200 range. the turbo manifold is complete and the downpipe is started.
here is the tranny tunnel frame work tacked together:
here it is welded and covered in sheet metal and back in the car. i threw the dash and the steering wheel back in just for reference. if i can modify the center console to fit over the tunnel, i will.
i've done some body work on smoothing out the engine bay. i really dislike doing this stuff. i'm not very good with bondo, but here is the bay all primed up. i still need to smooth over a couple spots, then the primer sealer will go on and some paint. i'm planning on further reinforcing the firewall and underbelly of the tunnel once the paint is done.

That is insane, and I mean that in a good way!
I've always wanted to mod a series 2 CRX but using the front cut from an Integra/Civic at the rear making a rear engine rear wheel drive car.
