Default What's the single best mod/maintenance you have performed to your 4th gen?

I would have to say factory Honda motor mounts. Hands down, my CRX is like a new machine after replacing the old ones.

putting a built gsr with a crv tranny, driveline, and rear diff in my 89 wagon was the funnest mod ive ever done. wasnt the fastest, the cleanest, or the nicest, but the wife and I had an absolute blast in the car at our local autoxs.

second would have to be 91 Si seats in my rally wagon with 4 point harnesses and a harness bar.

Toss up between swapping out the d15b1 for my b20 or pan swapping and putting da seats in. Being 6'5, it was hard to get comfortable on long drives being so cramped lol.

Paint is probably the most dramatic change
I have done a lot of maintenance but it feels nice getting in a car with fresh paint.

Think it makes it faster too heh

BTW what are those vents on the lower bumper on a 90-91 for? i am thinking of putting foglights in there .. i think oem lights fit there but those things are $200 if you can find them
