Looks like even on low boost it pulls pretty well.

Edit: As for the traction welcome to the FWD world hahaha. Its like that for any boosted FWD. I know my friend with a SR20 SE-R Sentra that he boosted he can't get traction worth crap he's running 7 lbs for now till he gets new pistons.

my biggest issue with traction is my cheap tires. I'm going to buy some good sticky tires later on and some dot drag slicks for some 1/4mile passes.

They slicks will be a lot of help. Theres a NX2000 that runs at Edgewater (local strip) on slicks and hes about the only one who gets some traction there. The place is so bad even AWD's spin.

thanks it been alot of work but its all been worth it.

Me and my stepdad are trying to buy a 90 DX with a 1.5L motor in a few weeks and I'm going to do a Frankenstein swap(1.6 si head on 1.5 dx block with the 1.6l multi point fuel injection intake and ecu. Makes it around 11.5 to 1 compression)and let my step dad have it.

Thats pretty sweet. Are you eventually going to build the CRX internally?

my z6 is going to need rings soon so when they need to be replaced I'm going to throw in some forged pistons and some good rods.

Hey have you had problems with water leaking into the trunk? My CRX has had that since I bought it in January. I found the water was coming in from the hatch struts, and I was thinking about just running a bead of caulk down that area of the trunk gasket (I'm trying to sell the car, so buying a new gasket is out of the question. The car looks like crap anyway).

Nope never had problems with water in the trunk. I do have water coming in where I ran the wires inside my fenders I forgot to seal them so now I have to put the fenders back off.
