Post em up whether there your own or not.
I hardly ever see many in pic threads on other forums. I just recently got done shaving my crx's bay. Every hole that doesn't have to be there is welded shut and gone. Its currently in primer so not pic worthy yet.

Can't wait to see the finished project. I haven't seen many rex's bays shaved either.

Who turbos a Nasty B18A? They must have spent all their money on the powder coating. FAIL.

When I get the money together, I'll be turbocharging a B18a (or B18b...the differences aren't big enough to matter). My goal is good low-end torque (quick, low rev acceleration), which I will get with a Garrett GT25, which is the snail they put in the eclipse and the 240SX. A small turbo like that chokes the life out of an engine in higher revs, making more expensive VTEC engines pointless.
I'll agree though. All that powder coating makes that engine look like a brand new penny.

Vtecstyle- As I am sure you already know the first one is a 5th gen bay but none the less a internet celeb and sexy as hell. Then that first gen rex is badass If I remember from mnsc it made like 260 whp or something? Shit is badass but am really wanting to see some clean 2nd gen crx bays. I can't seem to find any shaved they are all just tucked.

this was the hardest tuck ive done because i decided to run the wires for the alternator through the frame and around the front. i didnt want the wires for the alternator to go over the vc like most h22's

you guys should flip the booster to hide the vacuum going to the manifold, and ditch the charcoal canister and it would be golden!
