Default 26" slicks on CRX

I'm looking for the guy with the CRX that I believe had 26" slicks on it, under the stock sheet metal, and an H22, with a B series trans. I know he used to visit endyn's board. I had a question about the design of his suspension.

It was RMF I believe. His name is RMF on this board.

It can be done, but isn't easy.



I can't find a pic with the fenders on, but is damn close, even after a little trimming and touch up work.

They fit the way you have them, but from the sides, they stick out a lot. His slicks sat flush with the fender if I'm not mistaken.

He didn't utilize the factory strut location either. I believe he had a solid rod coming through the shock tower going to a "see saw" piece and the actually struts were mounted against the firewall. If I'm correct, his CRX had modified frame rails and inner fenders. It was a crazy looking, yet well-engineered, setup. I wish he could post some pics of it here.

It's possible. Was it built by RMF? All I know RMF did the work and he posted the pictures.

It would be nice if someone made flared fiberglass fenders for the crx that don't look like they came off of a transformer
