So I just picked up an OEM Equalizer. I believe that it is a pretty rare peice. I wanted some more opinions on it. When I do the search option in it, I find topics like mine that turn into arguments over stupid things.

So lets hear it... Rare? or Common?

 

ive never seen a crx one lol u have any pics?

 

This is one out of a 91 si that I am picking up this weekend.

 

pretty rare. any optional pieces are pretty rare

 

got a friend that has a brand new one in the box. been in his garage for bout 5 years

 

what a waste.

 

Thats crazy! Now I just need my damn mud flaps...

 

Nice. I just bought a BNIB one for an 88-89 CRX
Part # 08118-SE332AH
Its made by Alpine. You can buy parts for it from Pac Parts too...lol

comon i come across these here and there at my junkyard i would say umm every 2 to 4 months and by the way they are only used with oem head units which are old and crappy and dont have cd players bro but i guess so

 

thats fine..
Most people think CRX's are old and crappy too..

If someone in the future would ever want to restore an old Honda and wants an EQ, a brand new one will be impossible to find, just like all those old muscle cars with factory OEM options.

 

Many people don't realize that the civic/crx ones are different from the other honda/acura ones in size. Also the trim piece around it is equally rare because they dont fit without it

 

Ya Im trying to find the part # for the 88-89 CRX EQ Trim piece.

 

Ill look at one of my trim pieces to see if they have a part number

 

You could easily make that part out of abs plastic, wood, or a flat carbon fiber plate instead of wasting a lot of both time and money looking for that part.

Here are some examples of gauges but you get the idea:

 

It's only a $10 part brand new. But unfortunately, its not available any longer to buy from Honda.
Btw, I dont make imitation parts for my cars..LoL... thats a ricey way of doing things....

 

I would agree with you if this was a performance part that actually had some real function other than tupperware suspension system for a useless outdated relic of the past.

In this case I bet even you could make something nicer than the OEM part, for cheaper. You could actually learn a new skill in the process and take pride in your ingenuity. If that is what you consider rice - keep wishing and hoping to find the part online so you can overpay for a useless piece of plastic.

 

truthfully i think i looks clean keeping the oem headunit but just the equalizer is a pos why have that when you have a stock stereo you know but idk just my two cents i would actually get the cd player (which is supper rare) but oh well umm the trip piece i would just make it just cuz its a 20 year old part i found one a while ago but it was cracked and also they are hard to pop off with out breaking tabs just cuz of the weakness of the old plastic i got a cup holder on my ef were my old eq used to go and i gotta say yay for no more spilled drinks

 

It's called Nostalgia.
You think people ever use GhettoBlaster boomboxes nowadays ?
No, they just love to have them as a show conversation piece.
Look on ebay and see how much they sell for.
