hey.... if Civic Headlights and CRX headlights are the same i believe i have a set that you can HAVE. i even have some clear corners. even though i like the Amber for the time being.
oh yeah!
and you have got to get something done about those 17's ASAP!
i say take anything that comes your way until you can get some money for something really nice.
even if you get some OEM Honda wheels man... just GET OUT of the 17s
I might have take those off your hands. I like the projectors tho. I'm going to pull them apart and remove the halo rings and see if they look better.

What dinner? Is it a EF squad meet?
aight well i'ma look for them. and ill keep you posted
thanksaight well i'ma look for them. and ill keep you posted
Yup, it's the EF Squad Holiday dinner....check the Ef Squad section for more details
and DO's headlights will work i blieve, but the rex corners and hatch corners are different....you'd have to cut the rec corners up a little bit to make them fit...
leave the halo's homie, my dad's got em and then look sick at night. amber corner light bulbs and that blue ring, looks sick at night!
^^^ scratch everything i said about rex and hatch, i thought you guys were reversed, as in you had a hatch an DO had rex stuff....lol
nice progress, man:::
Well after a hour of work and no luck I figured out why my car wouldn't start.
The set screw came out of the rotor and no spark. LOL i love my car...
Took her to the car wash and cleaned my dirty ***** up. So I got me a new 360 and came home. Here she is.
Lets see in 2 mounths
New VW front lip
New front bumper
New rear bumper
New side skirts
New fenders
and some more flat black paint
I think these are the wheels I'm going with. Which color??? I think bronze or gold.
The bronze would look pretty sick.
I agreeThe bronze would look pretty sick.
Gold or bronze would set the car off !
Well after some thought I think I'm going to go with the black with the chrome lip. The gold is just to bright and the black will look good on my black car.
wow you brought it back to life.....+1 for saving the rex!
It's good to see someone so dedicated to de-rice-ing their car. All your hard work definitely paid off because your car looks great!
i like the black wheels that are on it now.....nice job de-ricing, i had to do the same thing with my accord, i did a lot..lot of stupid **** to it, had to take it all off now it is sleeper. looks great dude. If you want some nice looking wheels go with some civic si wheels 96 or so.
well nothing new other than my windshield wipers stoping in the middle of my windshild. The best part was I was on the highway in the rain at 12AM.
good looking rex!
Swamp
sweet... that car has come a long way. are you keeping those headlights though??
and i'd rock the bronze rims...
thanks and if I can find a set of stock head lights i'll chang them but there fine with me right now.
i'm going with black wheels with polished lip.
cool
kind of a update.
My clutch is no more. So for the 2nd time since I bought the crx I've got to change it.
The first clutch I put in was a stage 3 unsrung hub and I now regret that.
The new one is a stage 1 sprung hub and I'm also going to install a lightwight flywheel too.
day one started fine. I was on a role and got the hole front off my car.
cross member off
radator off
trans fuild drained
lower strut bar off
all random wires and plugs off or unpluged
car in the air with no tires
then I got stuck Lets put it this way I bent my hammer trying to get the lower ball joints to let go. With no luck
I still have to get the
ball joints apart
axels out
motor mounts off
the trans out
the clutch and flywheel off
then it will be time to put it back together. The problem with this is I need the tools, oil and antifreez to finish.
Here are some pic sorry my phone wont upload to my computer so I had to use my POS camera with no flash.
I really need to clean my garage. But its to cold.
gl man.. youll get it... it is cold as f**k
2" of snow on the road in front of my house. Hell yea its cold and I have to be at work at 8 tomarrow. o yea and I live on a hill...
is the roads gunna be non-icey my then? cuz i got to go to work at 7am...
well the trans is out and wow my cluch was fried.
As of 3:00 that mother is back in. damn that took 45min just to get it back in and lined up and thats with two people.
This tool is a life saver!!!!!!!!
