New mod for the rx

Oil cap busted today, so it was time to put on the new, genuine oem Mazdaspeed3 billet one I had sitting around, what do you think.

How did the oil cap get busted? Too much turbo boost? or Nos? I bet that car is fast huh?

Like that schweet Mazdaspeed cap should totally be able to handle very much more turbo boost and nos with out breaking. I know it can. Better be looking for some new tires, cause I bet you smoke them in like 6th gear because the AFR's are rocking and your muffler looks totally JDM.

We've been busy this weekend and the car is really starting to come together. My vision for c-rex is really starting to show itself. And with the 5hp or so/mod you had all better watch out.

Here's some photos of the latest escapades.

David - this first one is for you - we finally found a car worthy enough.



My Bro-in-law helped me put in the short shift kit this evening and we have a custom CF shift ****.


For some extra stiffness


Some go fast parts

Betcha that sticker adds like 60HP, huh? Those stickers, shift kit, strut bar, and hook thing I'd bet that thing is faster than a Red Ferrari.

Duh, what are you new? Real racers know the only way to add 60HP is to a do a lazy eye mod JDM style.

Looks like you two are having fun! I like the little Honda's as my first car was a 91 civic. Post up some pictures of the whole car. :P

My car became a play toy in the last few months as I bought my FC and my focus quickly changed.

The honda is a 90 CRX I picked up for d.d. I work at the U.W. so parking is crazy, I wanted something I dont care about, because I know it will get hit every other week. Plus it gets like 45-50 mpg, its a DX with a HF tranny I swapped in two weeks ago.

The cap I bought for my former Turbo FB with a S-5 swap, but it didn't fit, it was too small, so I have been sitting on it for like 3 years. Out of sheer luck it happened to fit the C-RX which was great because the Honduh one snapped off in my hand.

If anyone wants to rescue this poor suffering Mazdaspeed cap, I will trade straight across for your dope ***, carbon fiber, Mugen, skunk2, Sir Vtec, ultra JDM Cap, of course at my discretion, so post it up.

We have been really busy working on the new rx. Here is some of the progress of the build. And some photos as requested. This car is like a go cart, steering is super quick and responsive. When you hit the gas, all I can say is wow! We autocrossed it a couple weeks ago and Chris, Bill, Matt and I all spun it out.

First off, JDM Voodoo exhaust system



And the tow hook in case we drift off the road. Want to make sure they can tow us out.



Mandatory JDM Shot


The ladies like it.

lol, My first car was a 85 tercell hatch POS, it was givin too me free, so we planned on ricing it out for fun (I hated that car) we only managed to get a huge exhaust tip that was so heavy it broke the rusted muffler tip so we just hung the tip infront of the muffler outlet, it was dope, we also had the **** beads hanging from the mirror.

The ladies did not love that car. had like 30 whp. I got it going 101 MPH going down a huge hill with a 75MPH start. we rallyed it on the beach, we junped it. shook like a **** at anyting about 45MPH but still drove. car would not die. got 400 bucks trade in on it. I wonder if it was ever resold?

We were holding onto it just waiting for the perfect car to come along. We picked up a bunch of horsepower at the autocross yesterday. More photos to come soon.
