Bought a Crx ED9 last weekend! :D The condition of the car isn't the best at the moment, but thats about to change!. The upside of it is that almost everything in the engine is changed.

Plans:
Fixing all the rust
Repaint everything, probably gonna do either championship white or R81 red
Coilovers
15 - 16" rims

Will add more to the list as time passes.

Same day as i brought it home.


Was out to the garage
As the coolant leaks i tore down the entire front of the car pretty much xD, im also gonna change the hood latch wire, and latch itself. Also i've replaced pretty much every vaccuum hoses in the engine bay.
(kass bild (Y) )

And as i had the cooler of, i thought i'd take care of some of the rust that had started to come.

Before

Result, ofcourse i did the same to the otherside

 

good start man.

 

As the old radiator was leaking, i thought i'd fit a new one, the junkyard only had EG's so i bought a half size rad. Was thinking of cutting the front bar but nah, i managed to make it fit with a slight gangsta lean


Fabricating a bracket......


and done.. kinda. Not the prettiest thing but sure does the job!


I then fired up the engine, topping up coolant etc. And ofcourse a setback, car only runs on 3 cylinders, it kinda "glitches" as sometimes while driving it'l run on 4 then 3 etc.
* 9 - CYP - Cylinder position censor
* 16 - Fuel injector
I have fixed the CYP error code, but i still get the Fuel injector code, no CEL though but im not sure if the old owner has removed the bulb to it or something. I also managed to fix the hood latch problem, i managed to make a EG hood wire fit :D

I've started on the rims im gonna use, not sure which brand they are, but they're italy made. 15", 7" wide, ET37 im gonna fit some 165/50/15 tyres to them later on

How the most of the rims are looking right now


Just started sanding and fixing this one, it got done by the time i went home. will continue on the rest next week!

 

Like the rims minus color

 

im refurbishing them atm, they will be metallic blue later

 

hmmm not sure on the skittle colored rims, even blue. but they look cool. You can and should put a lot more tire on that wheel tho...

 

Hehe yeah not sure about colourful rims either, but f it... this is gonna be different And yeah im thinking of buying 205/50-15 instead, as im not sure how low i can go to compensate for the stretch that 165's would create. we'll see!

 

Taken the car down to my school, haven't done much with the car itself. But making progress with the rims. They were in such bad condition i had to sand blast them. Said and done sand blasted them, Then i put a thiiiick layer of sand-primer :D




Then i tore off the sideskirts and this is what i saw (Y)Not that i expected less, but atleast welding is fun right

 

Today i've done alot, the rims are done. I've also started the bodywork some.

Basecoat:


Clearcoat:



And ofcourse some welding

 

them wheels i love yous lucky to live in europe i guess???

 

maybe... not the best place to live if you want proper oem parts though xD

 

Yeah those wheels are FIRE dude, I'd love to find a set of something cool and with a bit of dish like that. You have no clue who they are made by?

 

I managed to find out They're MiM wheels italy made, not sure model name though. And thanks!!

 

nice rad. stay man.


haha, looks like it'll be a decent build though. good luck!

 

Haha nah it doesnt look all too good, but im gonna fit an original rad later on. When i manage to find one ^^ this is just so its driveable.
Thanks man!

 

Spot welded most of the left part today, will continue tomorrow, probably done with this side tomorrow :D


I know its not OEM look on the bends etc. but tbh i dont care as there comes a sideskirt over everything

 

Done a little more today, left side is pretty much done. just rustproofing, basecoat and paint left. :-d





tomorrow i'm starting the right side, i should be able to get everything done there aswell. IF i have access to the lift the entire day. Otherwise i'll start fixing the hood and welding shut the holes on the trunk :mrteeth:

 

Got some done today, first thing i did was remove the window tint. Then i started on the right side and uhm... yeah i'll let the pics speak for themselves.

 

Lookin awesome man. keep up the good work

 

Thanks! :D

 

Holy crap! There's not even anything left to weld to.

 

Nice work. Subscribed.

 

Thanks man!
Yeah i know i'll have to rebuild like half of the wheelhouse :D

 

Got alot done today! will let most of the pics talk for themselves.






Tried the wheels :D

They will be pretty wide it seems :D
