Thanks the wheels really set the car off. I was surprised at how wild they look on her.

You should paint the lower lip Rustoleum red. Or try to fit some JDM Honda logos, they'd go well with your look. I usually don't recomend JDM crap like that, but I think it'll really stand out on your car.

yea I thought about the red solid H embalm for the hood. May also redo my spare valve cover red this weekend.

**8695Beaters** · 10-13-2008, 06:48 PM

That'll be cool. Type-R red, no doubt.

You should go on the lookout for some '88 CRX rear control arms. They have a different bushing that gives them passive rear steer, so you get a bit more traction (they use this same trick on the ITR). From '89 on they changed the bushing and killed the rear steer. Then buy some G-Force 6-point harnesses, and some '88 doors (which are lighter).

Yea after I get the tune done I'm going to get a roll cage put in. Then I'm putting the harness in. I may throw i the 88 seat belt free doors.

**8695Beaters** · 10-13-2008, 08:00 PM

Are you gonna keep the car street legal? Better skip the full 'cage. The headroom is kinda tight and bad things happen when bone fights steel. A rollbar will do the job pretty well. Besides the 'Rex is a pretty stiff chassis to begin with. Seam welds would be a better idea for the front.

o yea I'm putting a rollbar in with a harness bar. and yes I'm keeping it fully street legal.

**8695Beaters** · 10-13-2008, 11:00 PM
