***end of an era***
 
well, after two years in the making i finally decided to get rid of the CRX :'(
I'm really gonna miss it, after spending a hell of a lot of time and money on it i decided its time to part with it unfortunately, i'm going to put all i have learned doing the HMT project on it into making another CRX project, but, this time i'm going stealth. I got a glass top JDM CRX in black to clean up and turbo, i figure since i have a load of spare charge pipe and couplers and a spare turbo i'm already half way there.

WOW i wasnt expecting such a good response, i decided to get rid of it as the money is better spent on the newly bought house, i was gonna sell the glass top as well but i need a CRX, they own me. The headlights are from a Vauxhall (opel in europe) Astra MKIV i dont think they have them over in the US. No the porsche's and the M5 belong to my moms bloke i'm not a big fan of german cars to be honest.

I guess the glass top CRX's are quite rare then ?

EDIT, pics soon

Re:***end of an era***
 
I was wondering before WTF kind of headlights you had on her.. did you already sell it, or are currently selling it?

Also, I want to see some pics of the JDM CR-X as well.

" i need a CRX, they own me. " Awesoem quote :P

slightly, for us in the states anyways ;)


nice car man, you're not selling out, your moving on, it's all good.

Yayo: I got £2900 for my CRX which although is quite good its no where near what i spent on it but.... ---- it.

Bamboo: I dont have any pics of the E34 sorry

well here are the pics of the glasstop i've posted the worst pics i could get so i can do a before and after post. I bought that ---- off ebay for £215 which i thought was pretty good it just needs some TLC

Is that a mortal kombat sticker on the side of that thing? hah, it looks pretty beat you better just ship that over here and I'll take care of it for you. ;)


HondaTuner 08-23-2004 11:17 AM

Re:***end of an era***
 
I think it is Mortal Kombat, lol.. Fix that ---- up and sell it on ebay man, or just sell it to me as-is ;)

surfer 08-23-2004 11:23 AM

Re:***end of an era***
 
its all on the surface, dunno what the sticker is but i'm on my way to pick up a new wing (fender?) for the front to replace that rusty piece of ---- thats on it at the minute. since i took those shots i've taken all of the stickers off it and replaced those rear lights with some unfuckedaboutwithshitblackpaint ones, took all of the gay little leds and ---- off, and replaced a large quantity of the interior plastics as they were sprayed blue ::)

I dont wanna sell it just yet until i get something better (better than a CRX yeah right) to replace it with. I'll post some interior ones in a bit when i get back from picking up this ---- for it

its funny cos a lot of people say its pretty sweet and i never posted cos i thought it would get branded as rice

Xgenturbo 08-23-2004 04:58 PM

Re:***end of an era***
 
No way, just because you have a body kit and altezzas dont mean ----, its the cleaness of your car that makes it stand out. the paint mostly, maybe if it was different colors it woudltn look as good, but that color makes it look very sexy.

AgentMurdoc 08-23-2004 05:22 PM

Re:***end of an era***
 
those head lights look pretty crazy :o

And i think the glasstop is just junk, send it to me and i'll dispose of it for you. You know us americans, we likes junk. :D

The only thing wrong with you car is the taillights but the rest of the car outweighs that so nope, it wouldn't get branded as rice.



And also do I see power steering on that new CRX?

HMT-Admin 08-23-2004 05:56 PM

Re:***end of an era***
 
JDM SIR's have Power steering..

The more I keep looking at those headlights the more I like them, Be sure to send me a set ;) How about I trade you a fine set of USDM headlights (the ----! USDM) for those. hah

surfer 08-24-2004 12:23 PM

Re:***end of an era***
 
yeah the 'new' one has power steering and aircon which is going bye bye cos a) i'm not a ------- penguin and b) i'm not forking out for an aircon friendly manifold. The headlights on the old one are available in left hand drive versions and they also do a black chrome finish as well which i wanted but i got those before i realised although they do take some fitting but hey, this is HMT.

Here are the o so anticipated shots of the interior, you will now understand why i didnt post them sooner, i didnt realise but my dogs were trying to get a piece of the action, ------- posers

I'm hopefully gonna have some more pics at the weekend after i get a bit more done to it.
