Forced induction?

Mark Eley used to make these things fly. Such a loss that he's no longer with us.

This probably my fav' car on TRO since Gunn's Milano DC2. 8)

Found this on another forum & thought of you Chris, but only because it's a CRX dude

Thanks Lee! And I thought I ran a lot of camber! The rear angle looks absolutely stupid imo.

 

[Shifty]

Foglights on for extra raaaaaaad man.

Nice car other than the clearly broken rear axle.

What's broken today mate?

What's broken today mate?

Is that supposed to be funny?

I've been getting a sense that something is going bad, I think it might be the drive shaft /CV joint again. I'm sometimes getting a very small vibration under load. But at the moment it's far to early to worry about.

Secondly, my car is beginning to smell like a 2 week old wet towel in a carrier bag, I can't wait for spring when I'll completely gut the interior and clean it piece by piece, eliminate ALL trim rattles and get it fully water tight!

Had a little mini meet yesterday and met up with a few other CR-X owners. A particular favourite was a tin top 1.5X. It'd been de-spoiler and looked so much better for it, very tempted to get mine off now. Weirdly one of the guys turned up in a car I had nearly bought last year, the CR-X world is a small one!

Here's the pics.

H plate ftw.

J578TBM Could do with a good wash the other two black ones look mint...fair play

 

[Shifty]

White Kei RSS on the H-plate? They look tidy on a CRX whatever they are.

UPDATE: Bits and Bobs 01/04/11

Not really an update of sorts, I just wanted to reassure people I was still throwing money away. I've been collecting quite a few bits and pieces over the last few months and most of them should be on the car in the next few days.

I have it booked in for a service on Monday, just having the general routine bits fitted.

Motul 8100 Engine Oil
Hamp Filter + sump washer
NGK Plugs
Splitfire Leads (though I'm 99% sure I've been supplied the wrong ones)
Honda Fuel Filter

Secondly, it looks a state under the bonnet, so here's a few items to begin to remedy that, including a few to stop some minor oil leaks

Refurbed Cam Cover (From Bren)
Replacement Plug Cover
Rocker Cover Washers
Plug Seals
Cam End Seal
VTEC Solenoid Gasket
A few nuts and bolts
Exhaust Manifold Shield
Black Conduit to dress the wiring up a little
Spoon Socks
Gunk Degreasant

I bought a secondhand centre console from Ebay to replace a bodged double DIN to single DIN conversion. Trouble is when it turned up the plastic was badly damaged where someone had obviously removed a hifi when a large screwdriver. But with a lot of perseverance I got it looking 100 times better.

Thanks to the 90's Honda/Rover collaboration lockless handles are available (rear Rover door handles), I don't intend to fit these particularly soon, as they need to be sprayed, but I'm looking forward to getting them on.

JDM rear light cluster, twin reverse lamps and original raised lettering. It needs a good buff to remove the surface scratches, but it's in great condition.

Finally some new Goodridge braided brake hoses, these will be fitted next time I'm down at TGM. :smt047

Some nice bits there fella, the kind of stuff that alot of folk pass by and don't bother with.

Attention to detail FTW!!! 8)
