chris r Posted September 10, 2019 Author Posted September 10, 2019 The crx was getting a bit fumy when driving it. I figured it'd be the exhaust tip being tucked in too much and remembered I had ordered a tip off ebay a while ago so welded it on. It has helped with the smells a bit I also figured out one cause of the water leaks, the sunroof is chooched it is beyond my skillset to fix so I've done some googling and found this http://www.fiberworxonline.com/Honda-CRX-(88-91)/CRX-Fibreglass-FX-Sunroof-Bung hopefully shipping wont be too bad. I found lots of replacement panels but the pan is rusty and all the actuators are rusty and broken. A bonus with the plug is there will actually be room for a helmet Quote
chris r Posted October 1, 2019 Author Posted October 1, 2019 Gtfo rusty leaky sunroof Just a quick spray of colour to seal the primer. I'll give it a sand on the weekend and I'll go back next week to get the rear bumper and the roof painted. I'll do the sanding to save a bit of money 9 Quote

I just find the energy suspension part number and you can get them offf Rock auto Quote

Spencer Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Yeah all the same, there's like 10 options for brands so you could cross reference the gates part number etc if you wanted to be sure. Quote
chris r Posted October 5, 2019 Author Posted October 5, 2019 Advertised the crx on the book of faces. It'll be interesting to see how many tyre kickers I get. Since I'm de cluttering I'm looking at two shuttles next week... 3 Quote
chris r Posted October 17, 2019 Author Posted October 17, 2019 Dude on Facebook selling the shuttles ghosted me which is probably a good thing. The crx roof and bumper are sanded and I've dropped it off for paint. The rasp from me fitting the wrong resonator is annoying me more and more so I might have to weld in the right one. I ordered turbo reso the first time instead of a na with the extra chamber to reduce the rasp. Part of me hopes it won't sell before drag day so I can try and beat the last time but I also want it gone before the end of the year Quote
chris r Posted October 22, 2019 Author Posted October 22, 2019 Crx is back from paint. Looks a bit better with one colour. Someone is coming to have a look at it tomorrow so fingers crossed he makes a offer 9 Quote
chris r Posted October 31, 2019 Author Posted October 31, 2019 Remember how I said the headers were close but cleared the rad?..... well they don't. I was wondering why the gauge was cooler than normal and I had to keep topping up the coolant. A new EF half size rad is more than I want to spend and probably too wide as well. I had a look through a few radiator catalogues online and found nothing that'd work. I thought about walking around zebra/pick a part with a tape measure but chances of success were slim. My inner barry then remembered something about the americans using a VW radiator. A little bit bit of google fu and the mk1/2 golf radiators apparently fit nicely under the rad slam panel where the ac condenser used to go, bonus is they have the same hose size as the b18 so less mucking around. Only downside is it has no filler but I can either get a inline filler or go raid a newer car for its remote filler and get a piece of pipe welded onto the rad. I found a alloy rad on trademe for less than the ef half size so I've ordered that. The measurements all seem to work out so hopefully it fits. the buyer also pulled out, then said the crx wasn't for him. 4 Quote
chris r Posted November 1, 2019 Author Posted November 1, 2019 I scrounged around pick a part today and came away with a jazz filler/cap assembly and a alto rad hose/thermostat housing. 16 dollars sure beats the 40-100 for inline fillers that are too big anyway. Next week the rad should arrive and I'll get the filler welded up and i'll be away laughing... hopefully Can pretend it looks factory too. 6 Quote
chris r Posted November 7, 2019 Author Posted November 7, 2019 The courier woke me up yesterday with a present. The vw rad is pretty close to stock size and twice the thickness so shouldn't have any problems I needed to trim the bottom of the rad support a tad so the bonnet latch and t bar would clear so but clearing stuff now. I have to make some brackets to mount it. I've got a guy keen on the crx but he wanted the back seat etc This pipped up on Facebook for fairly cheap so I jumped on it. Bonus of reg on hold injected and manual too so I've got a home for the integra motor now. So much for having less cars.... 6 Quote
chris r Posted November 7, 2019 Author Posted November 7, 2019 Swapped the resonators around. Double check part numbers before you order expensive adrenalinR stuff... Second one is the chambered one I meant to order which should stop the raspyness. Annoyingly it's a smaller body than the one I removed so I'll need to make new hangers. Plus side of being smaller is I won't catch it on bumps and stuff now. It sounds louder now but that could be because it's in the garage. I've got a coby style reso I'll trim to fit in that short straight section which will hopefully reduce the volume a bit. 4 Quote
chris r Posted November 8, 2019 Author Posted November 8, 2019 Diy reso time Chop chop Stuff more of fiberglass back in Hot metal glue, quick tickle with the flap disc and some paint 8 Quote
chris r Posted November 10, 2019 Author Posted November 10, 2019 So if any other honda sickos are interested in the pink crx it'll be for sale when I've finished pillaging parts off it. Rust free manual si, done 290 thousand km. Muffler has rusted out so it sounds shit super sweet glass roof. 1 Quote
