Nice car, with plenty of "character" It's nice to see a crx in good, but used shape. I like the rear lip and black color matched with amber lights in the front end.

So you are planning on changing suspension? That's the next step for my car. I'm guessing you're going for a daily driver friendly setup, right?

I think I'm going to do the armrest mod. Did you have to cut the crx console behind the shifter? I'm wary of hacking my good condition piece. :?

Eventually, yes, just not sure of the setup i want. Not gonna be a track car, just trying to get it to be a decent looking, stock Crx with some "minor" upgrades, weekend cruiser.

Only thing you need to hack up is the armrest from the Civic. You won't need to touch the Crx shifter console.

Some pics here, which should be self explantory on how it should mate up to the Crx console.

Definitely reminds me of working on my CRX, except you avoided the deer-mod that is pricey yet relatively easy to come by.

Keep up the good work and progress, good luck on figuring out suspension combo. I'm planning on saving the scratch for Illuminas / GCs or Koni/GCs one of these days.

You too? Glad to know I'm not the only one with a "deerkiller" (as one of my friends dubbed it after the incident in question).

Oh I didn't even kill the [screwdriver] which is what pissed me off so damn much, if I had atleast killed it I could have a deerskin dash and some good venicine to eat. Nope, it got up and ran away while I cursed. Had it stayed there I would have killed it, might as well get a $400 meal out of it right?

 

[Its me DUB]

I've told you before Baker, I love the rear lip. Do you have a how-to on this? Would be kinda neat.
I really need to get an armrest too.

Looking good man.

There's a lot of love in that CRX, and that's what we should be all about.

I really like the armrest and rear lip, very nice touches.

 

[90crxhf_w/ZC]

id go tein suspension with tein upper pillow ball mounts, and koni yellows, that would be bad on a crx any body agree?????

Thanks for the comments guys.
It's a little rough around the edges, not perfect, but with time and work, it'll be a clean looking Crx. Nothing fast, no crazy K swap, just a simple,clean crusier.
As for the rear lip, it's pretty simple. I could do a small writeup on it.
I need to find another Integra lip since i had to slightly alter it to make it fit after i put the OEM mudgaurds on. Need another lip to take another shot at getting the contour more precise to accomadate the space thay the splash gaurds toake up.

I'm sure it is a good setup, but unitl i figure out what i can afford for suspension and how aggressive i want it, it will have to wait.
Right now, leaning towards Tein S-Techs or Nuespeed springs.
Simply am looking for slightly more aggressive look with decent perfromance from companies that make good products.
But like i said, suspension will have to take a back seat for now.

S Techs are springs... Tein doesn't make an S Tech damper that I know of...

I'm not sure you want to go with Teins... they pretty much have stock rates, just drop the car 1.75". I have a set now awaiting install, but I have a feeling they will be replaced for something stiffer eventually.

DOH!!, i wan't thinking.... need to edit that.
I was meaning Teins OR Neuspeed. I' m not sure what shocks i would go with though with either of those springs.
I had Neuspeed sports on my Integra, liked them and will prob go with another set of those. As for shocks, still undecided, but will deal with all that suspension stuff when i figure out how much i want to spend and how much other work gets done on the car.
Suspension is last on my list.

'96 Integra GSR/Se rims

 

[AJxr]

I don't have that one on anymore, i put the GSR one back on since it contours my hand better.

...and why didn't you submit this kind of stuff for a possible article?

Are you talking about "Feature of the month"?

*Edited for me not thinking*

 

[Ragnaarok]

Ahh i should have... :lol:

Sorry, no pics, but I can do a quick writeup right now.....

I believe ollie means submit your "bio" for a feature of the month article.

:doh: Ohhh. I didn't take it that way. Man, do i feel like an @55.
My car is far from done, didn't feel that it would be worth submitting yet.

Submit it now while "under construction", then submit again in a year when it's more "done" :lol:

Seriously, with the lack of submissions anything is welcome for an article.
