Re: My complete restoration build
Good start so far 
Why such large tires, though? 195/55-15 is a good bit larger in diameter than stock. It makes the car ride higher and is more likely to rub, not to mention effectively lowers you final drive, and makes your speedometer read low (going faster than indicated, could be bad).

Clean rex man. I'm doing the same to my ej1, anyways, I've been installing my pic bushings as I can since it is my daily, but I'm curious how many miles you got on your bushings and how have they been holding up?

Good work man...way to save one and take care of it. Clean CRX's are harder and harder to come by in East Coast winter/salt territories. I was in LA for a while and saw clean 88-91's all over the place and thought, man these Cali people have it made compared to us east coast people who have to work 10x as hard to have a clean body.
Would've liked to see you go a different route than drag wheels but....I ain't gonna knock your efforts overall.

Re: My complete restoration build
the sound deadener helps with annoying highway drone and tire noise. I dont have an audio system in the car yet so I cant tell you how it helps out there. I only put the deadener in bc I had the car already stripped apart. To be honest, if I wasnt swapping from a blue to a black interior and already had everything out...i wouldnt have bothered. It doesnt make a huge difference. It is noticable, but its notlike riding in a bmw or anything, just a less annoying honda

Re: My complete restoration build
Elemental Designs makes a pretty good product - eDead V4 TekLite for $2 per square foot, order as little or as much as you need. It's a 1/4" thick closed cell foam with adhesive backing. http://www.edesignaudio.com/product_...products_id=55
I put 125 s.f. of the eDead 45 butyl material in my car and it didn't do jack squat. It's still loud as F in my car. Hoping I can do the TekLite stuff one day.
