C-resurREXion!Spent these past 3 almost 4 weeks finishing C-REX, wiring, bringing the front end back together, A/C system recharging blah blah. I'm just so happy it's running. And BOIIIII is it fun! I missed it so muchh! This car really is a breathe of fresh air after having to make do with an econobox sedan for my everyday commute. First McDonald's trip in almost a year! Come 2 weeks after, when the engine had been broken-in and the final road tune had been set, I finally took the car out for its first proper touge run! YASSSSS Pre-run checks. Oil, coolant, ignition, AFR, spark, the usual. Hmmm where's the battery? It's just right in here. Departure: MAAAAAAANNN this little pocket rocket feels so much better now! N/A is literally the perfect choice for C-REX, more so a high-revving built B18C! Retuned the shocks to match the road conditions, the car has never performed this well, also thanks to those Spoon brakes and new Energy bushings. Now that the mods are done and the car is running at its peak, time for dyno! (OORP: Does anyone out there know of any good maps that have a dyno? TIA!) IT'S TIME FOR MORE MODS YO! HUE. Finances: |

Ahh, I'm glad you went back to the roots with NA engine, you made even better choice and went with B18 instead of B16, civic looks better than ever, even tho I miss your old wheels.

CAR PARTS GET!!Brought Kate (The Lovely EK8) with me to pick up some parts for C-REX, here are some montage photos! Unfortunately, yes, I crashed Kate. While maneuvering the car through a ramp I curbed the bumper badly. What can I say, it was a steep ramp. I did get her fixed a few days after though. I even bought her an EK9 Type-R front lip rep, 3,500 yen (V$35)! More updates on both Kate and C-REX coming soon! Finances: This post was edited by RocketBunnyS13 (2018-06-23 15:07, ago) |

AND SO IT BEGINS!Kate has been bitten by the mod bug! Changes aren't too drastic... Yet. As the header picture states, it's now currently sporting an OEM+ Look, rolling on EK4 Civic VTi Wheels, wrapped in regular Kumho Ecsta PS31s, whole set was 19,000 yen (V$190). She now has Used Skunk2 Lowering Springs that I got for 15,000 yen (V$150) from Yellow Hat. And she's also wearing an EK9 Civic Type-R Front Lip Rep as previously mentioned.

# Dr. Zoom : You must be Honda fan! Look like Kate have fart can fitted or I take joke too far? *insert thinking meme here* Hahaha, I never actually thought I'd like them this much! I would have seen myself owning an S13 or a Subaru at this point in time haha. I guess we'll just have to see where destiny takes me! MINOR UPDATE, MORE COMING SOON!!I just wanted to keep you guys updated on the current state of C-REX before we move on to the bigger mods. Traded my EK9 CTR Stockies for these Gutmann Intras. Rare spec! 16x8 ET48 square, with 25mm 4x100 to 5x100 WTS Hub-centric adapters all around. Cash on his end, 9,000 yen to be exact (V$90). But I had to buy some spacers at 11,000 yen a pair, so that's 22,000 yen (V$220). Good thing I got my paycheck this week. That's all for now. More mods soon, actual effective ones this time!

HERE WE GO NOW!![2 WEEKS LATER]Finally got around to some of the parts being installed! The most obvious change is the new wheels (again lol). Although the Gutmann Intras were pretty much short-lived (used for only 2 weeks!) I think these current ones look better. I traded in BOTH the Gutmann Intras AND the Work Equip 40s for this set! But I can't say I regret that decision! When I took a trip to Osaka this guy I bought these wheels off of was part of the mainstream Honda community in Osaka. I just couldn't pass the deal up! Aaand he offered cash on his end, compensated by 130,000 yen (V$1300)! Nobody complained though, we were both happy at the end of the day. Plus, I made a new friend! I am loving these wheelios though. Hayashi Racing Super Streets, UBER RARE! Centerlocking hubs! Had to buy 11mm 5x100 to centerlock adapters (22,000 yen/V$220)! The old adapters I used on the Intras were included in the trade btw. These Hayashis measure 16x7.5J ET+30 front and 16x8.5 ET+40 rear, wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza RE003s, 235/45/16 front and 245/40/16 rear. They complement the brakes pretty well me thinks. 2nd order of business: Interior Articles! Got myself a generic Recaro-ish bucket seat for 18,000 yen (V$180) at Super Autobacs Osaka. I'll probably upgrade to a better unit soon. I also found time to install the A'PEXi PowerFC Controller I bought from Art of Wheel. Found a way to get it to work with my Hondata ECU. I got to add some gauges I bought to boot. Gauges are from Defi, Coolant Temp, Oil Temp, and Oil Pressure measurements from top-to-bottom respectively. Bought for 24,000 yen (V$240) total at Super Autobacs Osaka. Oh yeah, relocated the battery (again) to the hatch this time. Well, those are all of the new mods, FOR NOW. In the meantime, enjoy this photo dump from my Osaka trip! RUN THE NIGHT ぽ印なC-REX was too low to get onto the entrance! Had to use a couple of wooden planks to get it up ENJOY HAPPY CAR LIFE! ピーぇゟThanks for reading! More stuff soon! Finances: This post was edited by RocketBunnyS13 (2018-06-27 07:19, ago) |

New wheels again?! Well these are way better so it was a good choice, CRX looks really 80's now. Why are the brake calipers blue though?
(i think that's a boost gauge in the middle lol) |

# ErwinFenyvesi23 : Your car looks even better than it did before ! I love these new wheels ! Also , nice choice on that seat , it looks very comfy ! Thanks mah man! Love the seats, very much worth the price! # Soju : I love this Honda <3 Awww bby <3 # Dr. Zoom : This only best CRX out there. That wheel look perfect with red paint job. Thanks man! I think at this point it's the only CR-X out there haha. Yeah I'm glad you liked the paint scheme, I was skeptical at first but the combo grew on me pretty soon. # Lagano : New wheels again?! Well these are way better so it was a good choice, CRX looks really 80's now. Why are the brake calipers blue though? Yeah new wheels again, thanks! 80s vibes are pretty good, A E S T H E T I C . Calipers are powder coated like that because they're Spoon BBKs and that's their signature BBK color Yeah it's a boost gauge but I don't want to change the texture and I can't find any gauges that don't measure boost so RIP. But it's a temp gauge I promise! HAHAHAHALIVERY TIME!!!This morning I met up with good old Al for a cup of coffee and a cruise around Osaka. Casual talk, nothing worth mentioning. EXCEPT, when we started to discuss Honda stuff, I complimented him on his (rad af) EF and told him to get a livery stickered on. He replied and said he just wanted to lay low, being the more "lowkey" guy of the Osaka Honda Community. So, he returned my suggestion and said, you do one on yours! Let's do a Kanjo-style livery! He knows a guy who's in touch with Osaka JDM and the other Kanjozoku crews cruising down Shuto Expressway. Here are some pics of our cars, remember Al's EF? Later on, we decided on the shop that will do the sticker layering and installation; VStanced Garage! Took a convoy cruise down to the place to set an appointment for next week. More pics! DC2R Hub Squad! Still jealous of his seats <3 I'll keep you guys posted on the livery installation and after pics which should be done next week! Finances: |

LAST TEASER!! (Probably)Just got word that work on C-REX is finished. So I drove ALL THE WAY DOWN TO OSAKA FROM MIE (TWICE!!!!!) just to see her, and of course spend the night at Al's because he'll be dropping me off at VStanced Garage to pick the car up tomorrow after lunch. 1st night I brought Kate along for her first road trip, she held up pretty well, fuel economy was pretty good on the D16 too! 2nd night is when I just took the train to Osaka. Before that, yeah like I said, I stopped by to see her. No further pics of C-REX yet, mind you. You guys will have to wait until tomorrow! I will say it's a bit on the subtle side, but don't worry, I think you guys won't be too disappointed. So for a filler, enjoy these pics I took of Kate because I just couldn't let the good lighting opportunity go to waste: Finances: |
