obd1 has higher resolution for tuning and better software. And IMO it just runs better

I want that hood sobad and paint it yellow b/c i'm a dick like that. I know it's not a huge thing, but everyone local calls my crx the cleanest honda in town. A g35 the other day was left in the dust too. His fault, he egged me on.

I got my a/c hooked up (switched to sanden). Bought R12 on ebay (3 cans for 50 shipped). Had to install the a/c belt at Orilleys so the hood popped open and surprised a few bystanders

Oh the joys of a 20 yr old Honda... with a/c


sitenote: my radiator overflow tank is fugly. i'm either going to buy a new oem one (they're white) or fab up something to hide it (harder to do with a a/c condenser in the way)

Weld a electric scissor lift to the bottom of your car and keep a bunch of extension cords in the back... Lol then any parking spot becomes a perfect place to work on your car

Welp guys I jumped in and painted my unpainted front bumper. Went to pepboys and picked up some duplicolor primer, and acrylic enamel. Used a fine grit wet sand sponge to scuff up the bumper after cleaning it well.

I have to say it came out pretty good, and I'll post some pics later, I finally snapped some shots - I'm really bad at doing progress shots.

Anywho, do I HAVE to clear the bumper after the paint is dry and cured? Or can I leave it as is?

Tomorrow I tackle the hood, bumper trim piece and maybe the T bar.

I really like how the color layed out with the new type of tips for the paint - I think I may end up rattle-canning the entire car with a good number of coats and maybe wetsanding after.

CBE, I dont think I'll do the roller paint method, because I imagine I may change up the cholor scheme once in a while before I decide on a final paint scheme.

Heck no, but I have been sitting on parts and not getting much done, so I am happy I am making progress.

feels good getting as much done as I have the last few weekends, after all this, most of it is simple bolting on for the most part.

Yeah I'm just waiting to get my car to the shop. Don"t have room to work on it at my house. When I get it here it should only be a few days worth of work
