My 89 b16 CRX
Hey, everyone just thought id post some pics up of my Crex, and say what im'a do to it see what ya guy's think
picked this car up last summer, and didnt really have a job to support any major work, but now i got a nice paying job, to support my big changes i plan on doing
Exterior :
I plan on Repainting the car a different color // im debating on
Burnt Orange // Emerald Green // Dark Red w/ Gold Pearl(when the sun hits) // or Electric Blue (i kno all the ricearific colors right there, but im trying to make it not look ricey at all)
Debating on if i want a new Body Kit
If i paint the car dark red w/ gold pearl ill be buying some Dark Gold Rims to match
a C/f Hood as well as a Carbon Fiber Hatch (might also replace the spoiler on it now w/ a c/f one)
debating if i want to Tint the windows
Interior:
Nothing major really, just gonna pull it all out, and repaint it or i might go w/ Stock interior.
Also considering putting a Roll cage in the car
Mechanics:
im not real knowledgable on motors, so ill probably be researching and looking for some help
but during the repaint the engine is being taken out to paint the engine bay, and while its out plan on replacing all gaskets, ect..and getting it Setup for Turbo
im trying to find somewere on here, for a Nice turbo setup, looking to get my Crex into the 12's
going to switch out exhausts too, and put an Invidia im thinking
the one on it right now, is way to loud and high pitched for my likings ive just dealt with it since i bought it (im looking for a deep lower pitched one)
[b]
and now..For the goods Let me kno what you think

haha thx
im still looking for a nice ...turbo setup
to push me into the 12's maybe 11's. like i said im not really much of a motor man, i took my college classes in collision repair/detailing, so im more fabricating/body work
so if anyone's seen or knows just a nice setup/brands that can point me in the right direction =D

My top 5 suggestions:
1) New front bumper (or ditch the kit entirely, but if you like kits at least get rid of that hideous front bumper!)
2)New exhaust (or at least the muffler tip changed to something less obnoxious (it shouldn't stick out much past the back of the bumper...)
3) De-rice the interior. Paint it back to a stock color or just ditch it entirely if you really want to go the race route.
4) Carbon fiber hood or a stock, non-dented white one with no hood pins.
5) New wheels. 16" MAX (but anything more than 15" and you will already be sacrificing performance.)
Okay and one last (cheap) thing... Paint your wipers back to black... all that show looks a bit funny with spotted wipers!
All of that will have you well on your way out of the teenager with too much expendable income crowd and into the CRX enthusiast club.

My top 3 suggestions:
1) RESIZE YOUR PICS!!!!
2) Be careful asking opinions on HT if you aren't ready to hear some criticism. Just a warning (thin-skinned need not apply).
3) Everything he said above ^^^^ is what I would do if I acquired that same care today.
