Re: Single wiper blade CRX? (fast88std)
i have a single blade wiper too, wait no I don't, I have no wipers 
But I do have a wiper for it somewhere, too cheap to spend another 5 bucks for the second one, and too lazy to put one on.

Re: Single wiper blade CRX? (fast88std)
haha, thats actually an older ricer thing.
there was a description of how to do it on crx.perf many years ago.
lots of people did it and realized what a bad idea it is for many reasons.
the covereage area sucks, and no ones going to be fooled into thinking its a mercedes.
haha i found it, actually written by the man himself, brian g.

at least he did a nice job with it, but its still a BAD IDEA.
fun memories.

OMFG HAHAHAHA THATS AN AWSOME ARTICLE!!!
From the article:
" Brian's done this before, and I consider him an expert in the field of do-it-yourself true monowiper modification on CRXs. "
This is precisely why i need to write how-to's LOL they're priceless when someone digs one up from 5 years ago and emails you about it hahahahhaa

so you make your honda like a german/european car, with a single wiper.
sorry man, its just a phase everyone goes through. some people never come out of it.
its your car you can do whatever you want, hell im sure 65% of the kids on carsdomain.com have the single wiper with their type-r stickers on the back and spinner hubcaps, but theres still others that can be saved.
one of the major reasons the mod is a BAD IDEA is it cannot be undone without replacing the entire wiper assemblies. its not like removing altezzas when you come to your senses. its a bit more major then that.
if you like and its done correctly, rock it hard, im not hating here, more power to you, im just trying to spread some real info about it so people can make their own decisions.

Of course you would like it your a ricer
Oh and "euro" tails were never cool and yes they were saying it was ricey to have those 2-3 years ago. You were just among the ricers so you thought they were cool.

It works well and knocks about 5 lbs of weight off where it makes the most difference, up high. Done properly, you get a complete sweep of the window. I use it on all the road race cars still. It's not irreversable, the part to fix it is about $5 at a pick-your-part salvage yard. It's considered rice because most people won't make it sweep the entire window, they just take off one wiper to "look" racey (ricey).
The whole "Brian's a monowiper expert" was John's brain child. We were going to do a series of "if you're gonna do Rice do it Nice" and parody the "expert " angle. But we got busy with life.

Old Rice. I did that crap back in like 97. My windshield was fogged up and hit a curb, because the wiper blade didnt clean off that part of the windshield.
