Default Pics of my new crx (and other info) - No 56k! ? Updated

Okay, so I guess I will post pics of my new crx. I posted in another thread asking what wheels I should put on this car, and I went with the majority and I have to agree this wheels just kick *** on the car. They look even better then on my silver crx. They are damn sexy. Anyway, here are the pics:








Here is whats done to the car (mods by previous owner):

15" rota grids, gunmetal w/ polished lip
Momo steering wheel
Momo shift **** w/ leather boot
B&M short shift kit
AEM cold air intake vented to the front bumper
DC sports F&R strut bars
Suspension Techniques F&R sway bars
Koni Adjustable shocks (yellow ones)
H&R OEM springs
RPS Turbo Clutch
Akebono brake pads
Goodridge stainless brake lines
Manchester Honda exhaust (Tenzo I think)
Lumar/FormulaOne Millenium Tint
alpine sec-150r alarm with motions sensors and pager

Some other info on the car:

timing belt, water pump, cam & crank seals done 12K miles ago
every part of the brake system was replaced last summer (including MC)
all new engine electricals - ignitor, cap, rotor, plugs, wires
AC parts were replaced to get it functioning again last summer (condenser and compressor were bad)
new radiator in Sept 01

I bought the car w/ a set of rota subzeros (white), but opted to put these wheels on instead. Im gonna sell the sub zeros I guess.

I was sent a sample bottle of the eagle wax as you dry stuff, and that's what I used to "wax" the car. I dont think I would buy the stuff, but it seems to have done a nice job for it being a free sample.

Post any comments! As far as plans for the car, there are some dings and dents (especially on the doors) I want to get fixed. With that, I will probably get the car repainted. Its a shame, because most of the car has flawless paint (as you can see, the rear bumper for example). The doors defnitely need new paint if I remove the dents though, so I dont know what I will do. Besides that minor body work, a swap would be real nice... but the car runs really really nice, especially with all that recent maintenence so we will see.

Yeah sorry no full car shots yet. As you can see in the pics it was just starting to get dark so with no flash I had to have a longer exposure... and no tripod meant shaky hands, so those were the only pics that turned out. The first pic was taken a lil later when it was pitch black out w/ a tripod... but then a skunk/fox/some other small animal scared the crap out of me when I was trying to take more pics

Oh, and I resent that "look good for rotas" comment. I think Rota makes some really high quality wheels. I really dont feel like I'm compromising quality for price when I buy them. Cast wheels are strong enough for me

Thank's guys, Im taking more pics tomorrow

And btw... I always thought an expensive steering wheel and shift **** would be such a waste. Never would have em if this car didnt come with them... and damn its nice. The steering wheel and shift **** is your personal interface with the car and for me it seems to make the car feel more like an extension of myself then in my other crx.

Man you got yourself an excellent catch there.

Extremely difficult to find one in such good condition.

Are you selling?? Just kidding.

Haha... that's what I was thinking before I got the car. The previous owner actually just had to replaced. I dunno, they kinda grew on me... and it IS oem, so we will see.

pin stripes look like ***, there really not oem, thats just a dealer option, the car wasnt intended to have stripes, they really ruin the look of the car.

i wish i had grid's instead or subzeros i think i saw this car for sale on clubsi about 2 weeks ago.
