Spare Heater Core and surrounding plastic/vents |
 |
Tein Street Advance Suspension |
 |
OEM Honda Hardware for the Tophats |

Over the winter, a dent appeared. This year we moved the CR-X over further in the garage |
 |
Tanabe Exhaust System (will be installed in 2016) |
 |
Getting ready to install the new suspension |
 |
These two stupid brackets caused me so much grief this summer |
 |
New Spoon shift knob and some spare MR5 valve stems |
 |
Installed the rear without much issue... still waiting on the front brackets to install front. |
 |
Still working... |
 |
Finally ground the bracket enough to fit it to the strut. |
 |
Off to get powder-coated |

Back From Powder-Coating |

Finally all installed and bolted up |

Was very lucky - bought one side from Honda, the other discontinued. Found it on eBay for sale in the UK |
 |
Needed to get longer license plate bolts to go thru the illuminating plate and into the tilt bracket |
 |
Tried out the new combo of tilt-bracket and EL plate frame |

 |
Odometer at the start of the year |
 |
Odometer at the end of the season... paltry 280kms this year |
 |
Bought some dealer keychains: Verno, Clio and Primo |
 |
I didn't know the flares expired... mine did -- 10 years ago. |
 |
Found a suitable replacement LED flare w/magnetic base |
 |
LED Safety Flare: Fits like a glove |
 |
Concerns over painting my current Mugen spoiler prompted another purchase this fall. |
 |
A new Mugen Spoiler in NH-526M |
 |
With genuine Mugen emblem. |
 |
Black chrome EF8 steering wheel emblem. |
 |
Was listed new but the pkg was for a bolt. Still in great shape, no regrets |
 |
Was sad to see her go away for the winter. Next year I hope to have a heated garage |
 |
Found a guy with a halfshaft for the CR-X, but after more research it's incorrect :-( |
 |
A larger dealer emblem than my other one, and this one is metal. |
 |
Scored a second spare tire - this one correct. You can see how much smaller it is. |
 |
The most sought-after item on my list... been looking for almost 10 years... |
 |
Replica Mugen brackets for my CR-X -- Front/Rear Mounting and rear T-bar. |
 |
