the crx hf bumper support will not fit a hatch bumper support.

I've already tried on my hatch with my hf bumper support I have in the shed.

I'm the same way with lego's and ef parts.

My garage looks like it threw up ef's. I swear I have a complete black interior for a crx. multiple plastic parts for hatchs, not much sedans and now some wagon parts.

I really need a bigger garage.

I used to have three cars in my garage.

Feedback needed- Getting 16X7 wheels, what tire specs should I go with? 205/45 or 205/40's

I know 40's are closer to stock size, and a little afraid will rub alot with 45's. 40's however are pretty low profile

My winter setup is 185/55/15's and rubs a bit

Suggestions?

If a 185 55 15 rubs, more than likely a 205 45 will rub more.

205 45 look better, but if you don't want them to rub I'd go with the 40s. What is the offset on your wheels?

Offset is 43mm (Enkei RPF1)

All this LEGO talk I've got my 2 girls playing with Lego's and K'NEX and they love them. I attribute 95% of my mechanical ability to my multiple toolboxes of random Lego bits growing up.

In 9th grade English we had an assingment about Shakespeare's Globe Theatre so I busted out the old Lego collection and built a replica of it. Stadium seating and all. The stage even had a trap door. I wish I had pictures of it. Needless to say, I got an A on that one.

With a 43 offset, you could probably get away with some 205-45s, but it would be close. I plan on test fitting my 16x7 +35 Regas with 205-40 on Matt's sedan soon, so I'll make sure I get pictures of how they fit.

You can see in this picture where the posts are mounted and how they are angled back a little. I think the EF headlight buckets are more parallel to the top flat surface of the hood, so you might not have as much problem as I did with getting the post to line up inside the female part of the latch. There is a pinch weld on the bottom of the headlight bucket that was right in the middle of where I had to drill the hole to mount the post. That is where I had to get really creative. I don't believe EFs have a pinch weld under there and it is pretty flat on the underside of the headlight bucket. I also didn't put the washers in the right place since the hood is supposed to sit on the rubber sleeve and not on top of a washer. Kinda looks dumb, but so far it has worked alright.

Believe I was thinking it was crx to crx.. I have no idea about crx support on a hatch. If they have tried, I would believe them!

I dont remember seeing a rear wiper before.

I've never seen a wiper on a sedan before.

I really like that Kaminari wing, but I don't think it would flow with my simple sedan.

Damn, after some reading i dont think the crx bumper support will fit a hatch.

Another question;

Anyone know if there would be a performance difference going from a 15x7 wheel to a 15x6.5 wheel using a 205/50/15 tire?

When it runs..... I bet he has a bad coilpack or two, plenty of vac leaks, and a mean check engine light.

Much better! Honda reliability, way more power, similar sound, probably weighs less, and did I mention, Honda reliability.
