January 1st, 2016 - The Year In Review: 2015's Progress on Project PRO.2
 |
| Happy New Year! All the best in 2016! |
 |
| Goldilocks: OEM too Long, B&M too Short -- Could C's be Just Right?? |
 |
| Spare Heater Core and surrounding plastic/vents |
 |
| Tein Street Advance Suspension |
 |
| OEM Honda Hardware for the Tophats |
 |
| All Assembled |
 |
| 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 |
 |
| Air Conditioning Evaporator |
 |
| LHD Glass Headlight Install -- the other side didn't go so well. |
 |
| Found out I need a pair of these :-( |
 |

| Installed new deck with BT audio |
 |
| New Spoon knob installed |
 |
| A straight-pipe cat replacement |
 |
| 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 |

| Dollies to maneuver the CR-X further to afford my wife's new, larger SUV some extra elbow room |

 |
| 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. |
 |
| EL "Honda" license plate bracket |
