timeline for my CRX...56k?...bahahahahaha!

Post by Spork »

Bought in January 2006 as a daily driver since I moved back home... and I had 2 others sitting immobile in my garage which I stripped parts from.

First pics were taken after completely overhauling the interior. replaced the shitty black carpet job, storage compartment, cracked gauge shield, torn up seats, center console, door panels... and probably more but I don't remember. I Also had installed my aftermarket amber bumper lights, and custom pistol grip shift knob at this point:

After that, I tried and failed emissions, so I had to throw on the cat-back and hi-flow from my yellow Si, and I custom made an armrest (out of an 86-89 accord armrest I had from my 87 accord), and swapped out the rear bumper for the one off of the yellow Si (which I painted white obviously) and then these were taken:

Then I became a ricer for a month or so... I made these as an experiment in taking apart and reassembling the taillights.

here are a few engine shots from June 10th... it looks a little different now. a/c is gone, theres a header in there, cleaned it up, made a full CAI, etc, etc... I know, I'm as asshole, but I'm not posting anymore than that.

Cleaned up the rust in prep for the first CRX meet this summer... I just used Epoxy putty for a temp patch, but its been holding up well... we'll see how it survives this winter. Also note the 3pc. JDM taillights:

yeah... I accidentally hit the submit button half way through making the thread. all pics are up now, and I added a warning.

its gunna get torn down this winter for some maintenence and a clutch/flywheel... nothing planned as far as appearance goes any time in the near future. except I need to get 2 tires so I can throw my gsr fat 5's on.
i'm kinda hoping that the patches I did will hold, otherwise I'll get patch panels welded on and get the car painted within the next year...if I keep it around

When it starts to warm up a little bit I can take a look at the cancer, and see how bad it is, but judging by the pics its not bad at all, and we can go from there!
