Finally restored my JDM EF7 CRX, enjoy


I could get the other side from my local pannel place for you if you want. I think they are about £27 each.

I had a crx before and it was like a go kart. Nice cars to drive to.
I'm loving the colour
 
Just a little update

Managed to get hold of some VT front hubs and 262 disc upgrade from my tiny 242's. I also need the VT hubs if i ever decide to go to ek9 282 discs/calipers.

Fully stripped and cleaned calipers.

I havent updated the ef7 story for ages.
June last year me and my then 4 yr old son went on a weeks camping road trip.
We got on a ferry to Dunkirk and drove to Belgium and checked out some WW1 sights and also stayed with a good friend.
Then went and checked out Spa and carried onto Germany and NUR for a few days. While there we did go round the ring just before it closed while it was quiet.
Also drove to a close town one day and collected some S800 parts and found a awsom swimming complex with one of the longest outdoor water slides in Europe.
Finally drove back to France for a few days and found one of relitaves name on a WW1 mamorial.
Think we covered 1000 faultless miles in the little Rex.
Got tucked up for winter in Sept, just got her out from hibernation, MOT'd and taxed ready as my backup car for japfest.

After 18 months of looking finally got hold of a brand new boxed header. It was originally purchased in 1997 and never used!

Don't think i mentioned i also fitted some coilovers last summer so it no longer looks like a 4x4.
New pics up soon.

Bit of a story....

I sold some bits to a guy who spotted my S800 and got chatting. Turns out he has 2 mk1 Civic's.
On another visit I mentioned I had been looking for nearly 18 months for a genuine ZC (JDM twin cam Non VTEC) engine header.
Then he remembered an old friend of his was going to do a D16z9 (UK twin cam non VTEC) engine swap into his Mk1 Civic. He never go round to it but purchased this before ready.
So couple of calls later I finally have one.

On the supersprint website they reckon 10bhp just from this! i don't think so lol

We want to see more EF7 upgrades!!
I have the european equivalent , the CRX ED9, which I have been slightly modifying for racing purposes these last months. Well, we have 4 in the family... 3 of them from 1991, but just one being modified ^^
