PLEASE LIKE THE VIDEO! WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK, WAS THIS A FRIDAY AFTERNOON JOB AT THE ENGINE SHOP?
You should do a rear mounted Impala SS or gxp 5.3 motor in a car. Whole subframe. Dune buggy style
Hell yea CASEY 💪 😎
Really ? That intake wasn't stuck. Throw a socket in trying to make for conversation. Don't do shit like that Casey. Makes you look like an idiot.
I always say it was 4:30 on a Thursday afternoon looking at a three day weekend.
If you listen to no other comment or reply, you need to listen to this..The down bar through the firewall to frame on the drivers side and even pass sides need to be moved over towards the outside of the car. Pointing on an angle so that if it were to ever get wrecked there is no chance of the weld breaking and the bar impaleing you. You want them angled towards the a pillar/ door area..Not towards the seats a foot out in the car.
Found lots of strange things in a engine but never a snap on socket🤔. Better check the oil pan. Might get a ratchet 🤣
I didn’t think of that 🤣🤣
Didn't u hear it rattling around when u had the motor running the last time ?
I suggest a quick connect on the firewall to disconnect your engine wiring from your body wiring. Save yourself the headache in the future when you end up having to pull the body
Yes, you can use a cannon plug. They are water tight and lock in place with a quarter turn.
That's my 10mm socket. Reminds me of helping a friend who went to a local mechanic to determine if the tensioner pulley or the alternator needed replacement due to belt squealing. They said it only needed to be tighten. Well the squealing returned. I looked at it. There was a pry bar and the lower bolt was loose with a socket still on it
Glad you saw that........
Thank god this motor doesn’t have any real miles on it either lol
I see a great opportunity to take advantage of the cowl induction by building a nice custom airbox/filter into the cowl.
FREE Snap-On socket? Yes please. Looking forward to hearing that socket-free engine fire.
Finally a CRX video.
Awesome work!!!
You got to rotate your left front and right rear tires. They are facing the wrong way lol. Just switch them
bro that thing is looking sick cant wait too see it drivin
Have you thought about using a offset carb adapter pointed toward the front moving the carb further to the front of the engine? That would solve all your clearance problems. Even if you have to put a scoop on the hood.
Totally awesome dude you're enthusiasm is incredible this is one of my favorite channels
Thank you very much!
Still like the hinged body, couple hydraulics like a hatchback, just big sized would make it easier, but I understand you got that body hoist to pull it. I'm probably just used to constantly working on a bunch of worn out garbage lol
Now I know where all the 10 mm sockets are going LOL
Maybe you can make the front clip unbolt like a first gen Nova. Then you get the full strength of the cage and floor etc but a way to pull the engine out of the front of need be.
Body r&r was a lot faster than I thought. Piece of cake. Looking good. 😮
Casey’s customs drink’n game!!
Every time you hear Casey say:
“the body”
Take a shot.
Or a toke when he says “on” or “off”
Good luck!
If you take a shot when i say “oh, i like that” you’ll die of alcohol poisoning in under 5 mins on most of my videos 🤣
Hellacious build, love it.
Finally back to the crx
"I can't believe it's not butter!"😂
This thing is so BADASS CASEY 💪
That's going to be one cool little car! Your builds are awesome! 😊
The left front and right rear tires are running backwards. Make sure you swap those out before you’re done
Man this is a great build. Instead of a body swap (other that the blazer parts) it’s a custom chassis
Good job Casey the car looks good you did a great job hey I can't believe they left the socket in there
All my favorite tools have a story. That's a great find. I got a craftsman socket with the engraving upside down. That 9/16 rusted wrench I found in a wheel well. A deep well 5/16 found on the road someone used as a crack pipe. Gotta love the story tools.
You need to refit as much of the original dash as possible.
That’s the plan
I bet holley makes a low profile turbo boot that would fit under the windshield , then you can use a pod filter further forward.
NICE ‼️ it's really coming together 👍🏾
Should put 2 hooks on it where it holds it level and like 2 Guide pins then it'll slide right into place any time you need to pull it off!
I own a Honda CRF that has twin 88's on a Texas speed 427 and pushing 1,700WHP custom tube chassis, tubed with 28-10.50 ,so I think you might have the second baddest CRX on the planet, it took me 4 yrs to build ,100% custom by me, would love to do a joint build with you one day
Awsome build !!!! Surely one of a kind
Your work is always amazing, keep it up👍🏼
I think it's so cool that the body can go off, then back on so quickly. I miss the Blazer, haven't seen that thing in a minute!
Soon i promise. I did a video on the Impala because everybody said they missed it and it completely flopped so it’s hard to try and work on the “non popular” builds now
Awesome job once again!!
That was pretty Freaky that you found a socket in the intake and actually ran the engine with it in there, Good thing you took the intake manifold off and found that wow. Thanks for the great progress on this video.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos Casey Keep up the enthusiasm I know you will because that machine is awesome in every respect looking forward to seeing it in motion 🔥🔥🔥
The last time I've seen someone do something like this, the guy put a blown 454 in a.geo metro. Can't wait to see it stomp the high hp cars in your area
Great video as usual. So many projects, so little time.
I just can't wrap my head around the engine position but fair play man its a cool build.
I love this build bro!!
Years ago i rebuilt my small block in my chevy c10 after it was all done , installed and running i couldn't find my flashlight it would hear a clunk when I gave it gas and again when I hit the brakes a couple months went by and it was driving me crazy i pulled the intake and retrieved my missing flashlight 😂😂😂
Getting better all the time 👍
Yes Sir!!!
So badass!!!!
Newer subscriber and would like to say I love the builds. Being i long time mechanic and car lover your ideas just blow my mind for swopping body's and I love it. Keep up the good work.
Nicely done 😊❤
This dude gets a lot done fast by himself I don't know where he gets the time with having a full time job
Always nice to be able to adjust timing and check driveshaft ujoint from drivers seat
Coming together super nice. Best part free socket. I guess that’s his 10mm. For me it’s the actual 10mm.
Maybe putting a scoop on it like those WRX close to the windshield to help direct the air more to the carb
Maybe there's Snap-on ratchet in the oil pan 😂.
Cool!!Cool!! Good Job.
I like the idea of using the rollbar disconnect at the firewall for your engine bay tubing. Those add a nice touch to the Pro Street look in there.
I also appreciate you giving a plug to Tony Angelo's CZcams channel "Stay Tuned" in your video outro's 😂, I'll see if he can give you a shout out in recompense 👍
Casey, that’s funny about the 2 inch thing I almost spit my coffee out
The way you did the body mounts it would be easy to hinge the back with a couple of pipes
3" of clearance should give you enough room that you can run a carb hat with a cold air style air intake
Man Casey, you developed a really kicking serious butt CRX frame! I mean, did you see it's magnificence! I sure did. Thanks for the video 📸.
Damn bro, wish I had your energy.
The Civic is looking sharp, can't wait to see it knocking the tires off. 👌👍🤘🔥🔥🔥
It's a CRX, sweetheart! 😂😂😂
@@StrangerDanger69-dt7yf
My bad, , I'm not familiar with import cars.
Sweetheart????? I sure hope you're a female.
Gawd, can't wait till you drive this build,🚔
I was totally expecting more 10mm socket jokes in the comments 😂😂😂😂
You need more 1/2 done projects. 😆
Oh I’m looking at another this weekend…..
Cant wait till this is finished
can't wait to see more
👻 awesome dude
Hey Casey I can't believe they dropped the socket in there
Good job bud !Can't wait to see That fire up.
You had me at V8 rear wheel drive CRX.
This thing is cool as shit……. Not sure what else you have planned body wise but the rear wheels need to be spaced out to match front end width…. I know it’s on bags and that makes an issue cause of the fenders but maybe a set of custom wide body flares or just cut and widen the factory wheel wells it would make it look that much more badass
It’s a pro mod Honda😄
I bought a 429 Cobra Jet powered Mercury Cyclone and it had an extra hex shaft that spins the oil pump! It's about 8" long and had been bouncing off the counter balance on the crankshaft....crazy!
Dude you should put a forged tow hook to the center top of roll cage and weld a nice threaded hole thru roof sheet metal instant body puller
I'm doing a very similar build (not bagged). I made frame rail plates that are unboltable similar to a camaro front subframe. If I need to change the motor, I just jack the car up and roll the entire engine/trans out from under the car on the front suspension as one unit (I just need to disconnect the front brake calipers and hang them out of the way).
You might know......I'm curious if using Corvette style drive train with a lighter manual gearbox in the rear. Would make the car handle alot better 🆚 V8 and automatic trans up front. He has the engine pretty far back. So I'm guessing that helps. Instead of a rear mid engine, it almost seems like front mid engine.
@@michaelbrinks8089 There was a build of an EK civic hatch years ago called the "civette" that was exactly that. Full corvette torque tube chassis with a civic body.
That is how lots of others have done it as well. I wanted it to lay rockers and not have a giant hood scoop or giant wild body kit so this is how i went about it. If i wasn’t going so damn low i could of done a subframe setup like so many others have. I like the subframe setups a lot too because of the simplicity and parts interchangeability
why didnt you use a fuel injected tuned port intake ?
I might still go with efi, i talk about it in the vid a bit
Very nice! I'm taking lots of notes for my eclipse build. Where did you get your inner fenders on the front? Mike c
Pretty dupe.
Thanks for sharing with us.
When you pulled the socket out I thought it was the always missing 10mm.
Man it’s coming along good! Not sure if you already went over it, but why is the engine so far back?
Probably the best tool in your garage that craddle
It’s actually a neighbors and he’s let me use it for almost 20 years now. It has definitely shaped my entire automotive career. My first build i ever did was a chassis swap because this thing made it so easy to yank a body off. I am never shy to give it credit, i wouldn’t of done 1/2 the crazy stuff I’ve done without it. You can do a chassis swap with a couple
Buddy’s lifting and an engine hoist, but this thing makes it easy by yourself.
That’s so awesome. Keep doing what you are doing. I’m glad CZcams is working out for you and your family 🙏🏾👍🏾
😊 hi casey. I salute you from San Diego ☀️California ✌🏻 I would love to see this little car make some burn outs.. also. Love your❤ work on all off your builts . Happy Thanksgiving 🙏✌🏻
Gotta love Casey and his use of words!! Pretty sure I heard my man say its real salad instead of real solid. Lmfao!!!
Right now, in my opinion, Casey has the most bitchin CRX on the planet! I absolutely love 💕 this Honda CRX build. Great idea on the front bar location & attachment on the front clip, very clever! Anyway, thanks for the video 📸.
Hope the brawler carb isn't gonna need an adapter to fit the intake or ya loose what ya gained by switching intakes I think
Can you say Funny Car! Hinges in the rear and lockdowns on front.
I love the CRX❤. Little shitbox pizza deliverer that it was, lol. I allways chilled with the tuner dudes who loved these in high school...in the early 2000s😅(still around then). Gotta love the built not bought stickers, and whatever that Japanese sybol pic Honda guys had on their cars and notebooks from thier older 90s bros, lol.
This leads to that, start on one thing then ..
It’s call A.D.H… SQUREL ..!!
Idk what your talking about because i don’t have adhd, I’m actually very focused and… WAIT WHATS THAT!
Hmm seems like it might be a little safer if the cage was attached to the frame rails. That’s usually how we build the race cars.
Definitely would be, unfortunately it would be impossible to ever take the body off if i did it that way. I am attaching it to the frame with 1/4 plate and grade 8 11/16 bolts. Also this is for daily driving, I’m not shooting for any track use.
Love it. Cool.on your AirCleaner issue. Look.at VWs AirCleaners.flat the top, the air element filter is on the sides, AKA off set from the center of your carb, this might help.with clearance issue with front windshield on your build.thank you with your videos, Jason ,KS Wichita.
Sorry for the ... lol 😂 new cell
Mr. Goodwrench: 😒 ummm…can I have my socket back?👀
Can’t wait to see this thing rip
These videos make you want to body swap something anything...just because its so cool and would be fun to take people on rides...awsome ❤🇺🇸👍
This car is freaking cool! Love these videos. Do you plan on doing a clean finish or patina finish. Cause that frame would look so good with some undercoating on it! Love the videos, thanks for your hard work.
Nah, the frame would look good with bed liner on it, or if it was powder coated. Undercoating is rubberized and rubs off blackish gooey shit all over your hands.
Edit: I hope that at a bare minimum he paints it. Knowing his work it'll stay rusted and ugly though.
HiLaRiOuS aNd CooL aS , as usual.... 😂 You should make a timber canopy for your outside cars stop them getting wet ! My pet hate is cars parked in the weather !
Awesome project.. I love it... But every time I see it I feel your motor could go forward a couple of inches for "driver clearance"... Can't wait for the drive video man.. thanks for the content
Those crazy10mm sockets end up anywhere..
Gotta do some steering work on Edna for a video but its pouring out. No garage or cover
Casey ,You need to get a repair plate for your shop so you don't have a heart attack every time you see t he cops.
Well done. Grüße aus dem Saarland
I mean... Check your clearances and add some big hinges in the back, and have a tip-up body
You have plenty of room in the front for a giant pro charger or twin turbos.
now that the socket is out, you need to start it lol
