Re: Project REX
Haven't posted on here for a while so thought I'd post.
Since my last thread I've had to buy some Integra type r rear trailing arms so I can put my advans on. Cost me £50 off a friend and took me bout an hour per side (seized bolts)
When I got one side I ran into house to test fit my 8" advan and I was happy but the tyres were way too side and high (225/50) to be exact.
Looked on net to find some part worn tyres and I finally found some 195/45's on fox alloys for £40
so I took em to local garage put new tyres on and sold the alloys for same price 
So here are pics of the 225/50's fitted before and the 195/45's fitted to the alloy (need to take a pic of new tyres on the car)




On the front I had to buy pcd adapters as I wound need to fabricate teg hubs on to the car and it would cost alot. Advans are on put I still need to take pics :-S
I've cleaned the inside and it looks brand new (only got pics of back seats)

My recent buy is a front bumper as the one that came was knackered. It came from a '88 crx and has no fog light inserts which im happy with (less weight)


Last week I've bought a new drivers side front wing and new bonnet which will be put on when weather perks up...
My plans have changed a little.
Keeping crx silver, less hassle and save regarding money,
Will be getting the bumpers silver.
bonnet will be carbon wrapped same as the roof with carbon sunroof bung.
Need to do:
Still sort electrics
Put exhaust system bk on
Buy and fit fuel tank
Take out window from drivers side white door to silver door then put silver door bk on :-S
Thanks for reading update, will update with more pics very soon...

Re: Project REX
Just a little update, advans now on car with new smaller tyres (16x8's have. stretch)
Look awesome but still a little wider than arch, hopefully lowering the car might help and a bit of camber :-S
Here are pics:
The rear


Front


Question:
How do I get the yellow foam stuff off the arches?
Thanks
Getting a full mongoose system exhaust on the 13th as well as a fuel tank so I can start using the car soon
