Jadkar - Pat CRX ITR build - Tuner-Junction

jadkar · #1 (**permalink**) September 18th, 2007, 03:30 PM

Some of you guys know my friend Pat has employed me to build him an ITR CRX. His car has just as much powder coating done to the suspension as mine, but then he went further and powder coated all his cross-members. He also sprayed his engine bay and polished everything under the hood.

His ITR is gonna be all motor and he has a bunch of TODA components as well as an HyTech header. I final had some time yesterday and I was able to drop his new engine in. Here are some photos of the progress thus far.

That is one sexy set up right there. but why get an itr if hes just gonna gut it and replace most of the internals with toda parts? more details if you can please.

I can assure you he's not going down the road I did. The bottom end is stock he just put TODA spec B cams, valve springs, cam gears. Hytech header and RS*R exhaust. Lot's of suspension work and 100% polished and powder coated. When it leaves my house the rest of the car is going to get painted.

He likes to mod cars but doesn't need to be a superstar when it comes to HP. He also has an NSX, and TSX. He's like me is the sense that the CRX was one of his first cars (not that particular one though).

all motor, sweet. when you say toda goodies, does that mean a stroker kit perhaps? engine bay looks very clean, no dirt or grease there!

As far as "clean" this guy is crazier than me!! He's an industrial designer and entrepreneur and his attention to detail is quite amazing. Here's some photos of the underside of his CRX. The rest of the car will look this clean when he's all done. It's going to the body shop when it leaves my house.

Just had to post this shot of his garage...... yeah, I miss my NSX!!

This is his company.... he makes wicked little wood cars for toddlers. They come apart and you can interchange the parts to make your own.

Man, I love your builds. I especially like the awesome pictures you take. That guy's garage is pretty damn sweet. What's the estimated power out of this engine all said and done?

^^ Thanks!!

I think we're gonna see around 190-200 whp from Pat's CRX.

Really? I was thinking more than that... it's still going to kick ass

I have to get the name of the stuff, it's by 3M and he had to buy a dedicated spray gun for it. It really looks amazing.

i agree. we should all be so anal to have a car such as his

seems like the project is going smoothly

that garage is sweet, the car looks like it just left honda yesterday and was already taken apart by some madman or men. 200whp in a crx is going to do alot of damage. Is he ever planning on building up the block? Or reinforce it?

This is gonna be a fun buildup to watch.

I don't think so. He's really leaning towards gutting a lot of stuff and increasing performance by going lighter. Rather than what I did, which I refer to as the "Mercedes Benz" method..... you want a heavy car to go faster? Just keep adding HP

Pat has seen my car blow up twice and he knows how meticulous I am. So with that said he really is cautious about what he's doing. He wants to build a car that is clean, light, visually appealing, fast and reliable.
