Put some stuff on friday, First I took out my eibachs to get rid of that pesky 2" fender gap(I like the LOW look) and installed my g/c coilovers the RIGHT way, then put on my steel braided goodridge lines on all 4 corners, with new LIGHTSPEED crossdrilled rotors, and new brake pads, and DOT 5 fluid. we flushed and bled the whole system..I also installed 2 new tokico front struts (I had x-tra's with the brake brackets) so i took the old ones without the brackets off, as i did not want the steel braided lines dangling around or zip tied.. also here are other pics of my recently installed DC sports "new in box " header and also the lightspeed rear swaybar that was recently installed.. what a day.. just thought I would post some pics cause every time I do a mod I never post pics.., THANKS XIPHER FOR FIXING MY PICS. sorry for my dirty car it needs a wash..

I have a small crack in my header panel like 1.5" and it bothers me real bad... so I would rather look at the bra than the crack lol . personally I like no BRA ,but its not all that bad with it on.... so as soon as I get a one piece CF ZC hood It's history..

Awesome! I hope it rides as good as it looks. Nice job.

^^^Thanks guys, HANDLES wayyy better with the coil-overs/sway bars/torsion bars, that header made a VAST improvement on the butt dyno... and the brakes ,WOW talk about improvement in stopping power over stock..Just incredible.......

But it rides like a FORKLIFT (for those that have driven one) LOL... its not unbearable but you can feel every bump and the hatch squeaks alot more lol..

I'll be putting mudflaps on her this weekend coming ,and probably aluminum drums with some Porterfield shoes But for the BLING factor my brother will POLISH out the aluminum drums......

I bought the brake lines for $50 brand new from "tire rack" lol, I guess when they found out about the price and they changed them back to $110 immediately. I think only a few people got them from RPR at $50....

I bought the header new in box $200 they retail $389, from a speed shop owner, and 1st gen crx autox champion.. I also bought a CRAPLOAD of brand new lightspeed stuff(rotors,swaybars I still have front/rear ones new in box,, and JR torsion bars from him all new in box, mugen internal sway bar also) my G/C coilovers new in box... I'll give his name out as soon as I clean him of all his 1st gen parts lol.. He may have even been a member here, only things he has left are a original turbo-rex turbo kit (used) dc short shifters,some more x-drilled rotors,mugen camshaft (used) he wants $350 for..and some other odds and ends my wife won't let me afford right now....

Hey give me his number. I could steal those left over parts from him in the blink of an eye. Amazing looking car. you cant tell its a 21 year old. Its already at drinking age damn... But it looks great. without the bra. Bras are for girls.... 38 dds. please.

Looks fantastic.

Where'd you get the bra and the sunroof diffuser from?
