Do you guys remember me talking about my cousin's first car being a super clean EG hatch with fresh paint, nice wheels etc.? Car got totalled the other day. Traffic stopped quick and my cousin didn't... Bumper of the truck went right through the cylinder head and destroyed the front end of the car.... Poor car is getting parted out and he will be getting something newer and more reliable to take to college. Sad day for sure...





RIP... May your parts live on through other Civics in the Hampton Roads, VA area.

New bushings go a long way for our older cars. I felt a huge difference when I installed the Hardrace full bushing kit on my EG. It tightened up the handling of the car since my old oem bushings were getting worn

Yeah, I was impressed .The other thing that came across my mind was ,how such a small part can play such a big role in feel.It goes to show you that everything counts even to the last bolt.

So I installed my wilwood brake kit last night, and they clear my weds perfectly, probably one of the best investments I've made, car stops on a dime and they don't look ridiculas under 16s like the stock cx brakes looked

Should have used this while the carpet was out. Used it on my car when I first got it and took the carpet out. Carpet looks brand new still to this day

If I recall, I paid 250 for the complete bushing kit

I actually want to replace the carpet on this car, but my friends at Honda parts tell me the black carpet is no longer available. Only the grey color is available...

How is that dye? Luckily my oem mats cover up any imperfections with this CX carpet. I gotta drill a hole through the carpet for my dead pedal though. I miss that thing a lot since my Si has it

Haylex - yah man we have some aging vehicles! Bushings are definately in need of replacement for out cars

Crxfornow - not sure how good they are but any new bushing will be better than the originals on the car
