k20rex's crx build
my ek civic hatchback project got stolen 10-8-09 i have had it for three years and was not insured for theft dumb i no, good thing i had pulled the ls vtec out and the 5 lug off before it got jacked because i was tring to sell but still sucks bad
i wanted to start a build thread about my crx to hopfully help me get over my civic being jacked, i have had crx's for years but not this one i have had this one for 4 yrs now, this might be a slow build, i plan to rip it apart and rebuild, when i got it she was stock 88 si all in tack, i have done the frist bit of body work by replacing the rusty quarters with patches, i sprayed dupi color over that for now, i put some ls webs on her! and daily drove her for a year or so, now its time to start the rebuild

i picked up a jdm arm rest, i think its jdm, got it in trade, i re-covered it and put new foam it it, after long search i found these floor mats on ebay, i have not tried to clean them up yet but the logos are in good shape, i think im going to try to paint them black and redo the white, i picked up some fabric paint

Re: k20rex's crx build
I read that you machined the hubs on your conversion.
Do your front wheels stick out a little bit or is it my eyes?
The build is awesome. I love K-RX's
