Thanks Guys,

Hasn't run the 1/4 yet and likely will never. It's a circuit car only, goes back and forth to work once in a while and plays at the track and auto-x on weekends.

Thanks for the warning on the plate but, it's been published all over the net before so I guess there's no point in hiding it now, besides, it's the same as my user name anyway!!

Thanks again guys!!

Oh and the wide body is a very limited (so far) production O'Brien motorsports kit available through http://www.redpepperracing.com

Nice color. Do you have a paint code for that? How much was the paint job?

Wow.....I didn't think I'd get this much reaction because the car IS oldskool!

As for the Tires, since the pics were taken I have changed the rubber, they were 195/50 R15s now they are 195/45 R15s and they look much better.

The paint code, I don't know. I just picked the colour out of the Dupont paint catalogue. The paint work cost me about $3000.00 Canadian but I had some other work done as well (They cleaned up my body kit install a little!)

Now all I really need to be TRUELY oldskool is a set of Panasport wheels.

Thanks for the responses guys!!!

Rob

|eb CRX....I was just wondering where you had disappeared to! How are you doing Tony!

I can't believe the reception I'm getting here. If I post this thing on a CRX board I always get people telling me they prefer 2g CRXs. You guys are a LOT more open minded!!

Cool!
