HackAbuse's CRX Project
Ummm IDIOT if he was my boyfriend I would call him that. I'm married dipshit, happen to have a 3yr old kid too, you need pictures for proof??? I'm sorry, if I just said 'chris' people would be like, oh, is he your bf? brother? dad? I'm sorry....it is the internet, and people abbreviate ****.
WOW that is the LAMEST thing I ever got bitched out for on the internet...

If this is the LAMEST thing, there has obviously been more occurances with people bitching at you. Notice a pattern than?
Anyways, I look forward to this CRX build-up. I love reading threads where people take on projects and post updates as they go on. Good Luck Hack!

Yeah he's right.
It still does manage to pump out 140hp stock though, and it's half a liter smaller than an ecotec 2.2!
Some of the parts on this engine just blow my mind. For example, the throttle body is so SMALL, it cant be much more than 50mm.
I can't wait to get this thing running right though. Its got a brand new clutch, and tires i don't need

*******, it is not about you being married or not, its you SPEAKING like that. I dont care if you guys got married and re-newed your vows every month. Why not just say "My husband has a crx" instead of "hubby has a crx"..because i read that as "who the **** is hubby, and why do i care?" obviously he is your significant other, no ****, "idiot", its the fact that your talking like some retarded 9th grader in love with her boyfriend.

That is all.
Update 3-1-2007
Drove her from storage to my house to fix her up and tinker for an hour today.
I fixed the ghetto idle, it turned out to be the Fast Idle Thermowax Valve (FITV) An FITV is an older method of warming up the engine of a car to normal operating temp, its just a peice of wax that expands and contracts adjusting the idle by adding more air. I completely shut off the FITV to fix the idle, but now the idle is a little low, so i need to adjust the idle screw.
I also lubed up the tracks for the sunroof, so it works like a dream now.
I hooked up the wire for the Tach, but its still not moving yet, I'll have to fiddle around with it in the future.
Just as I was pulling into the lot to bring 'er back to storage, the CEL flicked on, so I'll have to check it soon.
That's all for today

Okay, update:
Today I ran a compression test which left me very confused to say the least.
From Left to Right Cylinder 1-4 (in PSI)
180 - 175 - 181 - 179
So I'm no closer to figuring out where all this smoke is coming from, its grey smoke, and when you really get on the throttle it gets a slight hint of blue. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with coolant, because I haven't lost any coolant, and I can't smell any burning. The exhaust has a two-stroke smell to it. And the fact that the compression test came back so well makes me doubt anything to do with piston rings or valves/valve seals.
In the past 3 weeks i've had the car, it has thrown 3 or 4 CELs, so I checked the ECU and found that it was throwing code 16 (Fuel Injector Code). Which leads me to beleive there may be a problem with my AFR.
Right after the compression test, I ran alot of seafoam thru the brake booster into the engine, a whole bottle to be exact. I slowly poured 80% of it bit by bit thru the booster line, then completely submerged the line, stalling the engine, then let it sit for ten mins and restarted. (Like the instructions.) I then proceeded to rev the **** out of it, and take it for a good throttle-tastic drive. The snow directly behind the exhaust pipe was LITTERED with black specs of carbon, so I'm confident this **** did it's job
The engine definitely feels smoother after the seafoam, for sure.
The only other problem I have besides a rediculous amount of smoke is bad gas mileage and the car wont rev past 5k (the rev limit is 7.2k).
As soon as the car is revved to 5k, the engine RPM starts to bounce around progressively worse, until it wont go any higher, when it hits this barrier, the exhaust makes audible popping noises and the engine stutters very badly.
Anyone have any ideas?

possibility of a cracked intake manifold or throttle body?
do you have a very inconsistent idle on startup. A GSR i helped build had this issue and once we bolted on the Edelbrock intake manifold and and throttlebody is all disappeared.

When I had my Accent I had a bad MAF. It would get to about 4 or 5 grand and then sputter and basically go no were it would almost feel like it was going to stall on me. Although I feel like if that was your problem you would of had a CEL by now. Or maybe you do? I dunno.
EDIT: Oh, and yeah your girl is hot. lol forgot to mention that.

MY idle is fine right now.
I threw another CEL today:
Code 43 - Fuel Supply System Defective or Malfunctioning
One person is telling me to replace my fuel pump.
Another person is telling me to check all of my electrical connections in relation to the injectors.
