I'm wondering if anybody knows where I can get new carpet for my Rex? Perferably black and at a good price? Thanks!

 

Try summit. They carry ACC which is what most old farts who restore muscle cars use. It should be around $100 bucks or so. When did you get a CRX? Is it just gonna be your daily driver or are you gonna fix it up?

 

Well, I'm goina use the car through the winter but I'm goina fix it up also. I got it about a week ago, I'm currently trying to get this headgasket replaced (head resurfaced, new studs, so on and so forth), after that I'm stripping whats left of the interior, cleaning it all up and going over it with a wire brush

Ripping out the headliner, going over the whole interior with primer, scratch the primer, 2 coats of Cypress Green, 3 coats of clear, 2000 grit sandpaper (windshield, doors and hatch will be removed at this point in time), compound it all down making it nice and smooth, new carpet, 3rd Gen black intergra seats, Then I'm repainting everything from the doors back the same way and color and installing a JDM front end, painting that.

New windshield, corner lights, headlights (of course), engine bay is getting repainted, redoing the undercoating, Si wheels, rear disc brake conversion, new interior, brake lines, front rotors and pads and it should be winter by then. The year after that I'm going to do either a B18c1 swap or B16A swap (crossing fingers for the GSR swap) and I'll start with my bolt-ons like I always do and just take it from there...

You still with me?

The ACC one is cheaper - I bought one for my 5th gen awhile back for $135 shipped.

If anyone is interested could probably get a group buy going on it....

 

??? how hard is it to change carpet?

 

not hard, a little time consuming.

 

doesnt he carpet go around the radio console thing? does it come right off?

 

Getting it around the center console is the most difficult. I completely unbolted both brackets which tied it to the floor, then rebolted them from underneath the new carpet. Otherwise it's just a matter of removing/finding all the clips. Oh don't forget to remove the side sills by the doors. Take it off with the t/star type sockets.
