Default My CRX VT

Hello everybody I am Luke, 19 and I live just outside Downpatrick. So I bought my CRX back in October '08 and just started saving up money to do bits and pieces until I was able to get the car on the road in Febuary(insurance was a killer). This is what the car looked like when I bought it just as honda made her.



All arches are mint.





The only bit of rust was on the sunroof, so I got it replaced straightaway.

I bought a set of brand spanking new Buddy Club SFs. I think they really suit the car.



Next up I bought a set of Tein Basic Damper Coilovers which are height adjustable. The car handles brilliantly on these just a bit harsh on bumpy roads.



So the next plan was to buy a induction kit, but a set of GSXR 1000 ITBs popped up and I couldn't resist them.



These sound amazing as soon as you hit VTEC, were a b*****d to get setup right. But they were worth it.

So this is how the car looks at the minute. More to follow just need £££.





Let me know what you think and hope to see lots of you at Bishopscourt,

that is awesome, the modifications you made are spot on, id say the buddy clubs cost you a bomb. Would be interested to see some engine bay shots. The car is in fair mint condition. Welcome to the site dude

Thanks very much Dohctor and Stephen_K.

djchickcrx- Thanks, the Buddy Clubs were expensive enough but I think they are well worth it. No problem I will get some shots of the engine bay for you, its nothing special, I am waiting on money so I can buy a set of trumpets.

jtswift_2000- I love the sound they make it's like a growl and then a bark lol. However they gulp the petrol.
