My Crx de-rice thread
 

Howdy all new here, bought a 91 Crx from a guya few weeks ago that had been all sorts of fried riced out, I'm talking heaping bowls of white rice and soy sauce.

To put it shortly, it had one of them crazy fiberglass body kits that was held on with bondo, rope, and bailing wire. Aluminum wing that was mounted upside down and backwards, halo angel eyes/ projectors complete with botched wiring, eBay coil overs, mix matched rims/ wheels, only 1 wiper arm, rear wiper delete with no plug, cracked clear corners from a previous year. Fart can from vatozone. Oh and some stick on hood vent things over the washer nozzles.

Now, I'm a car guy through and through, so I'm taking my time to de-rice and make it less gay so I figured ya'll might want to see what's up. Plus I have some friends into the Honda scene, they lol'd so I gotta take care of it right? Now as soon as I can figure out how to post pics from my iPad I'll do it but for now text posts it is!

I love seeing the stick on faux carbon fiber vents stuck on cars. Especially on the 300s and shit like that. Seriously people, get a brain with some style/class.

Re: My Crx de-rice thread

D: on a side note ill have to take some more pics of my car, and my neighbors crx that it sits next to!! his is really clean so i have motivation to look at erry day!

Re: My Crx de-rice thread
 

B&R Wrecking in Graham has 1 CRX and the Pick N Pull in Tacoma/Lakewood has 1 as well...they may or may not have parts that you need.

I'm down in Olympia, maybe I'll see you around some time.

Re: My Crx de-rice thread
 

Sweet man I'll have to check me out when I have some extra cash! And oly huh? That's pretty sweet, mAybe we should get together sometime and talk shop!

Re: My Crx de-rice thread
 

so i bought one final can of primer for right now so at least its all close to the same color! now normally im a wizard at spray paint, but im hurrying the process because this is the only car i have right now and i have to go find me a job! so unfortunately ill be doing more body work in the following months. plans for the car as i see it?

1. stock bumpers
2. stock tailights
3. stock sideskirts
4. matching wheels (lol)
5. mugen front lip
6. mugen shift knob
7. some bride replicas (i couldnt ever justify buying real ones haha D:)
8. 3k fogs
9. 7k retrofit projectors
10. eventually id like to do a b20v swap
11. ??????

as for final colors for the car im sorta torn right now but to start everything off i gotta find a job!! but really what do ya'll think? should be pretty sweet if i can actually stick with it right??

Re: My Crx de-rice thread
 

got the altezza's off, gonnna tint them so they dont look so crappy, well tinted isnt that good either but untill i can get stock tails thats the best i can do. and im not surprised that not all the nuts where there to hold the damn things on. also, got the cai off to remove all the freaking packaging tape that was wrapped around it. looks like an off brand, filter i think might be vatozone special or some other off brand ( dont see any badges or decals on anything is why im assuming) my neighbor who has the sweet crx next door happens to work at intec racing in kent, let me know that he has a zc head he could get for 50 bucks might look into picking that up for possible future use.

progress is starting to slow down however due to lack of funds, weather, and running out of materials. hopefully some luck will shine down on me soon though! hope everyone is enjoying this as much as i am haha.

Re: My Crx de-rice thread

Re: My Crx de-rice thread
