Cleaned my poor neglected CRX

Post by Edison Carasio »

I decided to clean and dress up my poor neglected CRX. Poor guy has been sitting unloved for a while due to some minor issues I've not made the time or money available to address.

And found some OEM floor mats for $4 for it. They aren't the greatest shape but OEM CRX mats are VERY VERY hard to find. I am priveleged enough to own two sets!

Power washed 20 years of dirt off em, here are they now drying out. Hopefully some stain remover will help the rest of the nastiness.

Thanks for looking.

I also need to convert it to a five speed and MPFI. It's currently automatic and DPFI :( :( all the goods I had for it went to my sedan. I currently have all but axles, flywheel and cluthc I think to convert it, but not really any time or place.

Thanks bro. Besides the rust, the paint is holding up amazing for a 20 year old car.

My wonderful girlfriend gave me money for these! A cool $50 with all four center caps. They need to be refinished.

This one is the worst.

Here's a crappy night shot.

The tires are smaller than what I had on there so there's more fender gap (I'm just on Tokico blues with Tokico springs).

Two tires are good, two are gonna need replaced but they held air. I need the shorter style lug nut so the center caps fit. But I prob won't leave the caps on there so they don't get lost or stolen.
