Sorry a lot of the pictures are blurry, I suck. The car only has medium rubbing compound on it, I haven't had time to make it shiny. I also haven't had time to find a good way to make the door panels fit. So, I'll have to do that later too hehe.

Oh, and the HCP "adjustable shift linkage" freaking sucks. What a POS.

I ended up just rewelding my stock CRX Si linkage. So if anyone wants an HCP shift linkage (minus the 5" part that fits a B series tranny on the stabilizer bar), I can give you a great deal... almost free. Wait, this might not be that good of a deal hehe. Anyways, if anyone wants it you can have it.

 

Dude im really loving that color. Awesome car.

 

great job, what a turnaround in a matter of 8 months, i did the same thing.

January


march



april (yeah, it's not red anymore!!!)


july


august


great work though, a real turnaround!!! shows how much work you put into it, great dash install and awesome diy paint!!!!1

 

how hard was the dash swap.. and how was the wiring?

 

Thanks for the comments.

The dash install was, to use the vernacular, a bitch. I had to cut a lot of the underside of the dash out with the die grinder. All of the mounting locations are custom. I had to weld 5 custom brackets to hold the dash and the center console to the car. The steering column brace had to be removed. The steering column had to me physically relocated 1.5" to the left to center with the integra dash.

Here are some pics of the dash install, prior to painting: http://imglib.************/index.cgi?cmd=viewcat&id=211

The wiring for everything was actually easy -- just time consuming. Most of the colors actually match up. I had to convert to electronic VSS to get the speedometer to work, though.

my current trans was out of that car

 

i was gonna say it looked pretty good(looks like mine) when it was stock... then i scrolled down. DAMN! Nice job. I like it! That dash looks perfect in there.

How much did the complete GSR dash swap end up costing you?

looks nice dustin. have fun parking it at campus.

 

damn....you call that a beater....i have a GSR dash just sitting in my garage

 

hey dustin... i really like this pic... what happened to the tire?

by the way... your rex isn't no beater.. that's one heck of a nice crx... love that integra dash in there!! good job!

I had the tire place swap tires between my integra and CRX and I didn't have an extra set of wheels to put the integra on meanwhile... so I used those mad leeto curbed chromies and 2 spares hehe.

I don't let tire shops work on my car anymore. They overtorque the lugnuts and cannot be trusted to do anything right in general. So I just bring the tires and wheels to them in the back of a truck

 

holy shiznitz!!! you got it all bro! sweet car, sweet house, sweet garage to work in...what else can you ask for?? except of course maybe a couple million dollars in your pockets should top it off (thats if your pocket is deep enough to hold them)

nice car bro!

 

Living at home owns me

 

thats a nice rex u got there mang

 

WOW!!!

 

Wow sweet car

 

According to the CR-X/EF forum rules, this thread should be locked because it's a "look at my car" thread complete with pictures.

I dare one of you mods to lock this one!

You know I'm kidding dustin. The car looks so bad-*** dustin. Looks similiar to what I did with my 1992 CX, but with a CR-X.

 

Very nicley done, I wish there were more clean rex's like that around my hood.

 

Very nice love the dash

 

AWESOME CAR!!! Paint and kit look almost identical to mine, except yours is nice and mine really needs some work. My paint is Dodge Viper steel grey though. Once again, really nice!!!

 

Looks great, Dustin!
