Nice run! Makes me want to put my stock wheel on, lol.

I really like that course - its like a roadcourse set up - easy to follow - I hate how some autox setups just give you a headache looking at it, lol

 

solid run...

 

Thanks! Made some mistakes, the tires were pretty unpredictable, cant wait to go back.

 

fawk thats nice...

 

Yeah that sucks.... Always next season.

 

That looked really fun, I like the layout!

 

Selling this spoiler if anyone is interested. PM me for details and more pic's

 

Tip of the week - Mr Clean Magic Eraser - works great on shining up old faded plastics - ie - faded moldings. Mine were greyed and cloudy, the eraser cleared it up. Used them on my faded flares on my 84 GTi previous as well and same awesome results.

Of course if your moldings are cracked results may vary.

and just for ***** and giggles - i pulled the camber spacers from my rear UCA's (2 per bolt, 4 total) from a previous owner alignment job. Gained a little negative camber in the rear.

Although I had a recent alignment that said everything was good, it looked like I had some positive rear camber and what appeared to be an odd bearing failure type hum.

Alls good now and no hum... Car feels awesome now - planted, good in the corners, I may need a re-alignment pulls a little to one side. but was there prior after a close call hard stop.

 

That magic eraser probably just shined it up like armor all would do. might have to re apply it eventually. Why not just paint them? i painted mine with some flat paint and it came out amazing

 

NOPE, not like armor all, the eraser strips off years of armor all, wax, dirt etc. takes it back down to the original plastic, needs no re touching.

On my rabbit, my flares were pretty evenly faded all around, then one day I spilled gas on the flare, and left a bad stain. I tried washing them real good with soap and water, no go. I used armor all, even tried shoe dye to re color them, they looked horrible.

Then I did the magic eraser and it stripped all that crap off and took it back to the original clean plastic. Then all I ever did was soap and water to keep them nice. Never needed armor all or any other stuff.

But AE, I have been tempted to paint them. I may eventually paint the moldings body color when I repaint the car. As some of you know, that was big in the latter part of the 90's, color matching the mirrors and moldings. Main reason - my driver door molding is cracking. So no amount of cleaning will help it. Maybe plastidip?

 

fyi for anyone interested...he's not to far from me and can get his #

 

OH MY :O

 

..... exactly more picture of that crx.

 

think it is or was his moms car

 

Sick his moms an import tuner? She kept her crx clean

 

dunno, but i know she comes on the forums from time to time. they bought it 8yrs ago from someone on HT and changed the interior, engine and some other stuff. funny thing is that it looks exactly the same, as if it was never driven

 

well **** me sideways. Gonna have to try that

 

take pics before and after

 

Dat crx.... <3

 

Atleast have the alignment checked. I've had some cars with pretty wacked alignments that drive straight and you get cars with perfect alignments & worn tires that pull like hell. It's like $30 at most shops ($20 alignment check + tip the mechanic who's not making any $$$ on the alignment they might not sell).

 

ROFL - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. the better you scrub, the better the result.

Please do - I forgot to, I was just happy to finally do it, i'd been putting it off.

Agreed, i need to actually get the alignment redone - I just meant that it started pulling before I pulled the shims. It gained me enough neg camber that i can run my 205's soon.

I'm thinking of picking up some additional wheels - looking at the 15x7.5 TRM's and the 15x8 Rota RB (et 35). Since my x's are real light, i dont necessarily need a super lightweight wheel - but I think they'd (15x8 or 15x7.5) be good for roadcourse and daily duty.

 

BRB, asking Alan for the backstory....

 

Checking in as the "keeper" of the crx with the MR5s.

Thanks Adrian and Justin!

 

forgot you were up here

 

Been hurrr longer than you tho...
