Thank you all, This will be a slow thread as far as updates go until I get it to VA when I can get to work on her. I just bought a Full Race half size EF radiator to go along with my Full Race front cross member/ traction bar setup.

 

[BannisteR]

Good come up on that rad! I was on the verge of sending the money to CR-X EF8 on nwp for his rad. lol b

Yeah, I was watching and contemplating for a little bit but decided to jump on it especially with running the F/R traction bar.

b Nice come up on the SUPER RARE G-Special rear seat!!! Do you have the front seats too? MORE PICS!!! You know... when ya can. b

G-Special? Don't have the front seats, If this is a special/ rare pattern I would probably trade someone for a cover that is torn or missing, I will be having them re-upholstered to match the ***** ****** recline-able seats.

And thanks for the complements! The ITR is a very fun car, If you couldn't tell by the few b series parts and ITR ECU, I will be running a USDM B18C5 in the CRX, it will be a stock motor for when I get it registered and inspected. Once she's legal stateside I will tear the car down, send the shell and body panels to paint, a full rebuild of the motor and tranny.

This has become a new favorite site, This and NWP are all I'm on now haha b

A few new pics, Also picked up some Cusco front upper control arms!

 

[BannisteR]

Love the badgeless US hood! b
So you picked the Cusco upper arms? I was wondering who he sold them to.

Yep! Good dude to deal with. He held on to the radiator until this weeks so he could ship the arms out with it.
USDM front is on it so I can get it registered stateside, once it is JDM front will be on. Although your USDM front looks pretty nice... Almost tempting to keep USDM front...

Nice cars man, my dad lives in Hesperia. Oh nice I see an S2K cluster. b

Thank you! Will fit better in there once its mounted and I cut the Carbon fiber bezel to fill in the gaps.

Both cars look great man!

Welcome!

Thanks!

Well, I picked up a Spoon Oil cap, a second Spoon front windshield banner, a Spoon rear windshield banner, Spoon heat barrier tape, and a Spoon Clutch slave hose... Will be going home next month so Ill install some parts and snap a few more photos... Wont be too many more updates until I get back from deployment...

 

[BannisteR]

Sick cars :jawdrop:

Thank you sir!

Noice Noice. Where in VA are you station'd? Have a buddy that is in Fort Eustis.

Norfolk, VA, not too far from where I'm at

Your. Cars. Are. Amazing.

Thank. You.

With all that spoon stuff u need to buy my SPOON SW388's. b

16x7 +45's SW388's would be killer on her :biggrin:

Luv the 1.5x rear seats. I think thats what they are from. but b for originality haha

Thank you, I'll probably post up the covers for sale when I get the seats re-upholstered to match the front seats Ill be getting

Thank you all for the kind words b

No updates on the CRX, I swapped axles on the ITR, EBC slotted rotors, Hawk pads, back to OEM upper control arms, changed tranny fluid, changed the oil and got an alignment.

 

[BannisteR]

Only thing I don't like is the X bar.

To each their own, Thank you for your honesty.

 

[BannisteR]

weksos, ICB... I got mine from chasebays, powdercoated mounts!

 

[BannisteR]

Got a new photoshoot of the R last weekend, I also picked up a real Spoon Valve cover for the price of a regular used Valve cover :mrgreen: Picked up a Nikon D80 so when I get back home Ill be taking a few more pics of the CRX and installing a few things b
On with a few pics of the R:

 

[BannisteR]

how many times did it take yall to back up and get re-situated and look good but not perfect and then re-situate.... and so on and so on.... Hahaha. Cause me and my brother both had CRX's and we did a shoot similar to this and it was fun getting the right profile cause we had a wide lens and wanted to stream the body line PERFECTLY! and you probably done this the first time...NICE! If so I ADMIRE/HATE you!!! Haha Just messin... Ur R is so clean sir! b

Actually I just did it just once haha. Not sure if it was spot on but it looked good in the shots so I was pleased. Thank you for the complements. I assure you that the CRX will be much cleaner than the R when she is done, attention to detail is key with me.
Played around with my new camera the other week and came up with this. I amazed myself with how good this shot turned out

CRX updates... Picked up a right side OEM block off plate for $30 shipped, dont think that was too bad. Priced out getting the rest of the door jamb, hatch, and random body seals and gaskets from Majestic. Nothing like fresh seals to make things feel tight again, almost $600! Will be ordering that next month.

 

[BannisteR]

Real EF7 updates soon! New Spoon, No more HX's! Will have pics within the next few days, working on a little something before revealing first b

 

[BannisteR]

Teaser!

 

[BannisteR]

I picked up a set of 15x6+38 Mugen MR-5's Dude had the faces painted white and they were peeling and flaking off, looked pretty rough so I striped them down. Turns out they were many colors before the white, red, blue. Leaving them silver for now. Picked up a few more Spoon Parts, EG6 Torque Dampener, A second Windshield Banner, Rear Banner in White, and the Spoon License plate in blue. Wont have may more updates for a while, going on deployment. Gives me time to pay off some things and save up for the swap!

 

[BannisteR]

Do you guys drive on the right side or left side of the road? The Teg is LHD and the rex is RHD.

Can't wait to see the finished article, you have some great parts there!

We drive on the right side of the road, LHD cars are the norm here.
Thank you for the complements! Your EF8 is pretty sick as well!

 

[BannisteR]

Still have it, Just one at the moment, bought it for $75 so I couln't pass it up. Ill have a full set one of these days

 

[BannisteR]

So its almost been a month into deployment. I've picked up a few things here and there, paid off a few bills and will probably place my large order with Majestic Honda next month! I picked up brand new EF8 fenders from Password as they are the only ones stateside that I can get them brand new. No having to guess or screw up when cutting the sidemarkers. Finally got my Spoon Valve cover! I picked up a set of carbon fiber Vision EF8 mirrors for dirt cheap, practically brand new as well! I also picked up a set of Spoon Plug wires and a Spoon type F radiator cap for the full race half radiator. I may be getting rid of the half rad for a full size Koyo or Fluidyne. That's about it for updates, sorry no pics and probably wont be for the next 6 months until I get back.

 

[BannisteR]

I wish I had pics to share, about 5 months Ill be able to get some pics of the collection of parts b
Picked up a brand new Spoon EF VTEC Controller, not really useful when Ill be running S300 but a cool piece to have b I got new Spoon front and rear strut bars, my current Spoon strut bar up front has two notches from a US hood skeleton rubbing on it. Picked up an extra Spoon Ti knob that will probably go in the ITR. I picked up a few goodies for the R as well. EBC dimpled and slotted rotors, 25mm hub centric spacers for my new wheel setup I'm going to be running on heR once I get them powdercoated :wink:

 

[BannisteR]

ITR & CR-X huh? Hmmm... :wink:

Both amazing cars! I'm sure you know of this though b Do you still have the '97?

 

[BannisteR]

Needs more pic's!

I agree...Too bad it's not current with new parts...

My old Si...

And the last one of the R before I left for deployment...
