My CRX aka polished turd...

After 6 months of ownership i finally got around to polishing and waxing the previous owner's idea of upkeep which ended up being severely neglected paint. My motor is 95% done, so the next portion of the project is body work...some before pics:

The motor:

Very Very Nice for some reason I always thought you had a HB, are the 205 rubbing at all?

Incredible. What kind of paint did you use for your valve cover?

Yes, did you do the work yourself? Very clean install. Clean bay. I give it

I wish my bay would look like that.

looks great

FYI, that oil catch can needs to be mounted vertically for it to function properly.

Re: My CRX aka polished turd... (Quik89Si)

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

quik89si - Kgmm DR21 springs (from an EG) and Koni Yellows, full ES master kit, ST rear sway bar, Cusco Rear strut tower bar.

StyleTeg - thanks for the input, however the Greddy can is not internally baffled like other catch cans, so mounting is not an issue. It is packed with steel wool to help catch the oil trapped in the Vapor.

shamoo - yes i did all the engine work myself.

ebelp - The valve cover paint is Duplicolor graphite wheel paint misted on to duplicate the stock texture. I stripped the old finish off before i painted the new one on.

stock2thebonecrx - The 205s rub a little in the rear, but mainly due to my rear trailing arm bushings being shot.

-Todd
