Well i imported this 18 months ago and although looked good in auction pics and details the rot worm had got to her. Only mods were Kakimoto exhaust and the alloys.
Some nice touches are the rare Kanji text climate control, SUPER Sound ICE, door mirror covers and Rear Wiper Control :cool:.

I really should have just scrapped it but just couldn't bare to. Had to find a donor CRX to completely cut out both complete floor, inner, outer, steps, rear jacking points. Then totally dissemble these and then use to rebuild the EF7.

Then when i got top side had to replace boot, doors (passenger not changed yet), wings and rear arches :nono:

So ended up needing a full strip down respray!

Love these cars, looks like a really good one.
If you ever want to sell give me a call
 
That look exactly same as my old crx same colour, glass roof etc
 
:lock:
The wheels made me vom...

:clap:

beautiful car man

nice, lovely colour. Not keen on alloys though

Yes I know, that is what was fitted from Japan. I have got some white wheels that I chucked on this morning.

IMO better but not right. I'm thinking grey Buddy P1's early design or some bronze wheels????

I like the rear seats .

My daughter had passenger ride in the back and said they are really cold and slidey lol.

Temp wheels fitted.

Replaced that awful OEM wheel with a JDM DC2 wheel. Took a bit of customising to get it on far enough. Had to remove the factory indicator reset bit off of end of column and custom make it :nice:
Oh and the gear knob.

I just hate the steering feel. Way too light. The smaller dc2 wheel helped a little but hopefully on crx-uk there is a group buy on a close rack.
I would like some decent coilovers or at least lowering spring for time being.

I like the CRX nice colour, personally wouldn't be a fan of the wheels you put on it as don't think they suit it.. Think older style jdm wheels would look better :) Any other plans for it?
 
Just nice wheels, lower it a little, header, decat and poss drop in filter. Thats it.

If it was me id pick any of them 3 colours, just depends on the look of the alloy on which colour is best really... keep up with the pictures updates when you decide, always nice to see updates :nice:
 
Just a bit of an update.

Fitted a new cam belt and while i was there i adjusted the tappets as they were quite loud on start up.

I was well impressed with how clean it was under the rocker-cover for a 25 year old car.

Then gave the engine bay a good spruce up.

I had to sell the white wheels so had to go back to the original ugly wheels from Japan.
So partially painted them for the Euro look for :woot:, until i can find some 15" TE37's :bow:
