Got my Ksports on the CRX. Heres a few pics to celebrate...
 
Got my Ksport coilovers and lca's on. I havent done much adjusting of the ride height yet. I'm gonna fine tune it tomorrow. I just couldnt wait any longer to snap a few pics and show them off. Every time I ever post pics of it I get the standard 4x4 comments. Well, now it looks a lot better...check em out and let me know what you think :thumbup:

haha; how did you know they were 17's? they look good on the car imo. Fit well too. Does anyone have any tips on how to roll the fenders? I keep tearing the fender out with I turn and go in driveways or the car gets unbalanced...

Put a baseball bat between the tire and fender and roll the car. Then have a fat friend sit on the car and do it again.

But really, you should get some 15"s. And non-rice corner lights. :-*

Looks clean otherwise.

I'll be the 3rd person to mention those wheels are mad :8

Please don't roll the fenders. Either get some "racing wheels", or buy a lincoln naggulator.

what spring rates do you have? bodykitsnw from ht does custom rates so i was gonna buy mine from him. i def want them. how do they ride? i think the stance looks on point but loose the wheels, the car would look tight with some m7 knock offs or bronze TE37's

enough about the wheels guys. They were on the car when I got it, and I've found better things to spend my money on(turbo setup etc.). I agree they are a little big, but they look good on it. you should see in person. I did buy a set of stock 91 Si wheels to put on it, but money for tires is the problem there.

The ksports handle very well. Ride is awesome. I used to have a lot of understeer problems, and now it holds the road no matter what on the standard damper setting. I havent broken teh limit on the tires with these ksports yet. Still trying. I'm kinda scared to find the limit to be honest. I got the 10K and 6K rates. Its what he recommended since I have the B series swap and am going to use this car for daily driving, road racing, and drag.

Wow, do people not think?

Why don't you sell the 17's, when the kid comes to pick them up jack up the car and sell them all to him, have a buddy go with you to go get new tires thrown on your si wheels and go home and slap them on? Is that such a hard concept?

Hey atleast you don't have to worry about nosebleeds anymore with it not jacked up skyhigh. The wheels wouldn't be so bad if they weren't so big. Ehh life goes on.

I've put them up for sale a few times for like $400 with tires. Ebay will be the next attempt, but I wont do it until I have tires on my other wheels.

Nice car. Yeah, the wheels are alittle big, but your car still looks damn good. I'd love to have a clean rex like that.

Dont be ofended by his comment.Its hard to take offense from a guy whos car has been sproting blocks for the last 4 years. ;)

Re: Got my Ksports on the CRX. Heres a few pics to celebrate...
 
thanks guys! I stripped the tint out today. that was a PITA! Ther hatch took over 3 hours. It was so brittle, every time I'd get some scraped up to pull it, it would just break off. even after heating it up for a coupl eminutes at a time...But its tint free now (except the 1/4 windows). It took all day to do it, so I'll have to get teh 1/4's on my next day off...ANyone got any tips for removing tint besides a razor and a hair dryer? I'm gonna get cramps like crazy when I have to lay down to get to the 1/4's. :(

why replace the bumper lights? Are those the stock ones? Cause stocks are clear. If you wanna buy some OEM corner lights that are clear, and not the amber look, I got a set of JDM Stanley Clear ones, but it's rather pricey.

Car looks good though. I like it, clean too. The wheels aren't that bad.

My old 89 dx had amber bumper lights. I just assumed that all 88-91 hondas had the amber bumper lights. I bought this car and it had the clear bumper and corner lights. I actually think I'm just gonna buy a new set of usdm corner lights for it.

foaming glass cleaner, the amonia breaks down the adhesive. Super fresh razor blades. Once they get a bit dull you will ---- your windows with scratches.

Heya. Hanging out with Speed Phreak while he installs valvetrain; he recommends LOTS of Windex (ammonia) on the glass, then cover it up with a black trashbag and leave it in the sun for a day. The tint will be bubbled up and half falling off.

Re: Got my Ksports on the CRX. Heres a few pics to celebrate...
 
nice tips guys. Thanks. I got your voicemail joseph, but I was at work, and couldnt answer. Another friend of mine mentioned something they sell at walmart call tint off or something like that, that is basically amonia. I'm gonna buy that today and get my 1/4 window tint off.
