RHD CRX updates

[Neil]

Dude, no offense on the baggin on you, but the further I got into the car, the more things I found wrong.

First, the firewall swap and the glassroof install were FLAWLESS. Perfect, in other words.

The electrical is a total MESS. The car currently has no dash, or interior because we have to re-wire EVERYTHING. It was a total hack-job. Some of the problems included: No door triggers, rear plate lights didn't work, front corner markers and side markers were botched because they were the wrong corner markers for the JDM harness, hatch defrost doesn't work, rear wiper doesn't work, there is no horn, the door harnesses were slapped together, and many other things under the dash.

The side pieces that mount on the doors are rough. I am speaking of the body kit pieces that usually just go on with 2 sided tape. I like the fact that they were mounted on with rivets or something similar, but the bondo over the attaching hardware is busting out of the paint and is in need of repair.

When I got the car, it had an Idle problem. A surge, if you will. Once I tore into the engine, I found that the timing belt was 2 teeth off, and the injectors were clogged (the little screen on the end of the injector). From the injector problem, I learned that the fuel filter was plugged. From there, I pulled the fuel pump and the little "pick-up sock" on the fuel pump was almost BLACK. From there, I dropped the tank and there was so much stuff in there, it wasn't even funny. Installed a new tank, walbro pump, filters, and injectors. The car suddenly had all sorts of new found power.

The radiator was patched with JBweld or something similar, and sprung a leak within one month of me having it. It now has a new half width radiator.

The front bumper was botched being that it was a Wings West bumper for a USDM front end, and the car has a JDM front clip on it. The front markers were non-existent.

There are a ton more smaller things that I have since found wrong with the car. Do I regret my purchase? No. It is a really good platform to rebuild on. Do I feel as though you neglected to tell me certain things about the car when I bought it, yeah.

I don't know how much of the work you did to it personally, but I constantly brag up the work done on the firewall and glasstop, if it's any consolation.

I will vouche for your welding skills in a heartbeat, but your electrical/finishing work is lacking. Sorry, that's what I have concluded in dealing with this car.
