#Coprone :
Hi again! For those who haven't seen my earlier posts, I live in Japan & I'm a part of Flewcrew aka Flting drifters "squad" (is that the word youngsters use nowadays?). I had a red S14, which I still have but can't use. I own a small garage & it is our crew's hangout point where are also modify our cars.
I recently got a Honda CRX. For free. It has 1.6 L D16A6 engine, however I have no idea how many horses it'd put out as it's a total banger with 460 000 kilos on the speedo. There's a "myth" that this exact car came out of the factory with 108hp.
Exterior looks, filthy. A lot small & big rust spots, colour's lacquer has been torn off in few spots & as the CRX sat in the bushes under a tree for 2 years, it has some wild marks on it. Probably from trees. Almost one quarter of the car has been swapped from other CRX parts, that explains the trunk door & rear bumper. Someone has nicked indicators too.
When I rolled the Honda into my garage, my mates couldn't resist laughing. But it was free, yolo. We replaced front brakes, changed brake fluids, fixed the muffler & added "custom" tow hook. We somehow got this toaster registered again & now we have very clean & legitimate plates on it.
What will I do with this car? I think I'll do something funny with the stance & add VTEC! I don't care about the CRX very much as I got it for totally free.

Yo again. We starting restoring the CRX. Washing it gave much better look, but there was still rust & few damage spots. After a lot hours we got all the body soft (not literally soft) & nice, but it needed a new paintjob. We took the car to local mod garage where they do painting & such. I left my Honda to them, here are last 2 pictures I got.
Unfortunately I haven't been on this forums very much lately. But, I have upgraded my CRX.
It's painted white & black now, supporting pandas. I installed front & rear coilovers. Wfgyujbfffdddbbbbbb. Cat was walking over the keyboard. But I realized I don't have a cat. What. I managed to find amber indicators from a scrapyard shop. From UP-Garage I bought bumper lips & rims.
