Back in February 2010 I sold my DB8 and picked up a DC2 shell that I previously sold to a friend. I kept the DC2 for a while and ended up selling her due to a torn rear subframe. It's a new year, so I promised myself that I would buy another project car and get back on the track. So I decided to pick up an '88 ED8 (CRX HF).

The Plan: To build the ED8 for time attack. I plan to compete in the various time attack events, but my main focus is Super Lap Battle and the Super Street FF Battle. I will be running in the street tire class. Game on.

Phase I: Body Work

Before I install the B18C1, I want to work on the engine bay. I want to clean it up, paint it, and set up all the fittings and lines for the swap. I also need to get a new front end.

Phase II: Rebuild B18C1

Without further adieu, here is Heather my ED8.
