Default in 24 hours my crx will no longer have issues

my motor has been pretty good to me. its everything else that starts to fuck up. first the roads are too high and it caused my header to crack 2 different times as well as my oil pan 3 times. then the coolant likes to dissapear and overheat, then my tranny takes a shit on me on the way to the track.

but my tranny issues were fixed and back to being gay in a matter of 12 hours. i went and got a new casing and got a awsome deal on a quaife lsd ( COLIN AT RACING INTEGRATION hooked it up)when i got the trannt back in my car it was fine. went into all the gears but it was a smoth shift. slowly but surely my tranny gets worse and worse and now i have NO third gear. if i grannt shift and double clutch it into 3rd as slow as possible she starts to grind so now i just go from 2nd to 4th. but i also have to use muscle strength to get it out of 2nd. oh yea make shre you hold it in 5th cause it will pop out. FUCK THIS. here omes tranmission #3. so that a total of 2 trannies in a matter of 3 weeks. but now i got 00 itr gears (thanks NChatch for the awsome price) with my quaife going ina brand new ys1 casing.

the car will be dropped off at racing integration for tranny build and swap and will be done by this time tommorrow. yes i know this isnt a tech but ive been waiting for my tranny to be in tip top shape and i have everything ready. i just wish tommorrow would come a bit faster...

I guess all I can say is ..... BACKYARD MECHANIC AT ITS FINEST? Roads too high causing your header to crack twice and your oil pan 3 times? I would have raised the car up after the first time you killed it. Or made a skid plate or something. You have to ask yourself on your last tranny build.....was it right from the get go....or am I an ass on my trannies? Sounds like to me that the bearings were reused and already wornout on the second tranny build. Either way....um..good luck.

that was sarcasim about the header and oil pan thing. i take full blame for that.. well for the second build all i did was reuse the gears and bearing. trying to sneak out with ont having to spend a load of $$$. ive learned my lesson you get what you pay for. and now that i have everything squared away it should be flawless

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

I got my quiaffe from Collin but he must love you to sell it installed at that price. Did he tell you to bring some kneepads.
