E Prepared AutoX build
While this may not be everyone's cup of tea, I decided to throw this up here and show the progression of my crx. I am working to the ultimate goal of a competitive EP crx autox car. Comments, Critiques, ect are welcome. I would appreciate if we could keep the thread clean of insults. If you feel the need to call me dook or whatever please just PM me.
Car started like this: little rough and looked like it was in a minor front end accident (was much worse that I originally thought)
Shortly After buying the Car I decided to repaint the exterior white. Because this was a track car I decided to use rustoleum out of my HVLP gun. It worked pretty well.
Then I put a few upgrades on the car mainly Koni/GC springs,Bushings,balljoints,ect and drove the car in a few events before tearing it down again:

Re: E Prepared AutoX build
The plan for this winter was to tear down the entire car and redo the chassis to remove weight, install a rollbar, fix a few issues with the engine, and nut/bolt the car to get it ready for the coming season. Of course I tried to do more than the time alloted so some things have been put off till next off season.
Fast forward to Weight Reduction:
The Fuel tank was also removed and replaced by a fuel cell. Interior was completely stripped, brackets/bolts/studs chopped off, and the front of the car was chopped as well as will be seen in the next update.

Re: E Prepared AutoX build
Very nice. Looking forward to the finished product. Anything built with a purpose is great in my eyes no matter the make/model/year/ or budget.
