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. |
|
