My 80s Honda Beater *pics*

[Naticon]

My CRX has been hated by the "Honda" tuners for about 2 years now. :2funny:
One of my friends that is into vip showed me this site.
I don't think its VIP but it could be a bit jdm race/euro cruise style. lol
Beats me. I just knew how i wanted to build it and never thought of what tuner genre it would fit into. lmao

Last years photos. 13x8 -4 offset wheels

I really havent seen many or any CRXs in North America like this.

[shoez]

looks pretty nice. ive been a honda lover for a while. Im feeling the overfenders too! :)

is there a fitment problem w/ the front bumper?

[Naticon]

Whats fitment?.... Joking
The front end is some what twisted.
I bought the car for 300 dollars. Frontend was wrecked.
I had to go to work on it with some strong arms, over sized pliers, and a 5ft pry bar.
Just to get the core support bolted on straight again.
Anything that is supposed to fit on oem CRX, needs a bit of TLC to go on my CRX. lmao
I plan to make new brackets for the bumper this month.
Its only on with zip-ties right now.

[JustAPhase]

Sick ass car!

Im loving it. With the way the rims are, its looks almost as if you are on slicks.

[firelizard]

Wow, that is so much better than other CRXs over here!
I really like the overfenders and the fact that your wheels are nice and deep, throwing away the high-offset image.

[Naticon]

Thanks
I still wish that i would have had more money for the project.
I would have went with better wheels.

[Phucanese]

oh man, that is the SICKEST CRX evar!
i used to be into the AE86 sceen, still am... lol
so i gotta love the super low offset wheels
its all about the wheel fitment that makes the car!
the old school Toyota guys would love your car.

any shots of how flush the wheels sit?
props on the sick ride

[matt is legit]

one of the best crx ive seen. where did you get the overfenders?

[Pagong]

Nicely done CRX..... :smitten:

What kind of wheels are those?

[Naticon]

the fender flares came from a http://estore.teamprototype.com/estore.php.
The wheels are rs watanabe gr2 replicas made by Sportmax. 15x8 Zero Offset
I have 205/50/15 Dunlops

[Pagong]

I cant seem to find those wheels in their website...


But anyhow, great job on your CRX and being different from the norm.

I am sorry for hijacking your thread, but your CRX is the only 'cool' looking I have seen that can compare to this one over in Germany...

Hey where do you live? You car does look kinda familiar. I live in Louisville, kY if that might be a clue as to where I might have seen the car.

[Naticon]

I live in Cincinnati.
I also have a black AE86 Coupe.
I drift.
I skateboard at louisville outdoor skatepark in the late hours of the night.
You might have seen it.

[firelizard]

Mmm, reminds me of a black AE86 hatch in Winnipeg, MR2 engine, JDM transmission, LSD, misc other goodies. It was for sale, just outside of my budget

Thats probably it. I used to skate at the park, but haven't been for a while due to school and work.

On a side note. There is a big meet on april 30th at Coxs park right down the road from the skate park.

[Naticon]

what kind of meet?>

[RHDVIPbB]

A spring meet for a lot of people to hang out. People from cincy, lexington, TN and Indiana come out for it. Lots of hondas, nissans, various other cars. If you want more details, just let me know

[Naticon]

superrr clean but wheels that staggered on a FWD are obnoxious...and dont belong IMO. it looks sooo good in the 3rd pic tho!

[One Ton VIP]

a number of the new small fwd japanese cars in japan can accept staggered fitments, and in fact, if you want the wheels to be equally-flush front and rear, you actually *have* to run staggered fitment.

[eurospec]

the wheels are made by PLS. japan and europe have no qualms with staggard fitments on FF, so why does the U.S? I can't really figure it out. I had staggard fitments on the old jetta to get the wheels to sit flush with each other, AND because I liked the way it looked and lets be serious, its a Jetta (or a CRX). It isn't some track monster, it doesn't rely on extreme handling characteristics day in and day out... What is so obnoxious about it? Some people might say that the cars that your shop produces are obnoxious and a sickness to the true scene, yet I can stop them and tell them to learn to appreciate something about everything.

I personally think that these ideas get into your head from somewhere else and you hold onto them with all you got to try and prove something to somebody...???

I fully intend to run staggered wheels on my car if I find a set of wheels that look good with it.
