Pete's 91' CRX was the car that started it all for Rick. Back in 98' Pete's timing belt broke. This was the perfect opportunity to bring his car up to speed with all those west coasters he was reading about in the mags. So the hybrid lifestyle began.

Rick being very good friends with Pete decided he wanted to take on the project and quit his job as an electrician. ?????? Rick's just like that. He decided to do the swap the correct way(obd1). This involved a complete rewiring of the engine harness and ecu plugs. It took a couple months to complete the project, but that was mostly due to the availability of a mounting kit, or lack thereof . Finally HCP came through with one and with a lot of shimming, opening holes and adjusting the motor sat very nice in the engine bay. Other than a couple chk eng light which were quickly fixed. The car has been running strong ever since.

A swap of this nature now takes only a few days.

Here (left) is a pic of the CRX now in 02'(4break-ins/1theft later) exactly how it looked the day it left Rick's garage.
