Could someone please post me a picture of where the hell this IACV is? My idle fluctuates while warming up and after it warms up it idles fine. Some people from crxresource.org said it could be the IACV. But I can't seem to locate it to unplug it to test.

I found this picture on the service manuals for 1g's. If its on this area, can you please highlight it, or even better could you take an actual picture of the IACV on your vehicle?

Thanks,
Nick

I have a friend with a junked crx willing to give me certain parts I need but its off either an 86 or 87 crx. What I'm trying to get is the front and rear bumpers, the mirror and the piece between the tail lights.

Please let me know asap before they send the car to the junkyard!

After everyone kept telling me I had the mugen widebody kit, it got me wondering if it was in fact a real one or a replica. So after some other work was being finished I tore off some of the pieces and took some quick pics for ya'll.

After reading in the tutorials, I decided that I wanted to check what crx I had. Well according to the tutorials the 8th digit in the vin number shows what model it is. Unfortunetly, the tutorial only says what model for 1, 2, and 4. My 8th digit is a 3.

So my question to you is, what 1g crx has a 3 as the 8th digit in the vin? anyone know?

Well I've finially got my hands on a crx, something I've been trying to do since I turned 16. When I got the car it was in dire shape, the roof had been cut out by someone wanting to install a removable sunroof a lower control arm rusted off the frame and needs to be relocated, the car had been primered grey, had a rusted out hood, the front bumper was 90% gone, and the rear bumper was cracked in about 80 places. So needless to say I picked it up (running and running decently mind you) for 75 bucks, just to cover the cost of the clutch he had just installed.

So just to get rid of the primer, and to get my neighbors to quit complaining about the trashed car sitting in front of our house, a friend and I spray caned it white, then painted some blue flames on it lol.

Well I came home this weekend from college and started to work on it cause spring is here and I've been bit by the car bug just like every spring. So I tore out the interior (dash, seats, trim panels, and carpet) and I've began working on replacing/repainting most of the parts.

I'm using the technique someone posted on another board I read, with fiberglass, to replace the torn up carpet. It'll be painted white just like the outside of the car (which, don't worry, the outside will be repainted this summer after I get some $$$$$) The rest of the interior pieces are being painted white as well. The dash came out to mold in a tv screen where the pocket normally is.

Primered Parts

But I've come across a problem while painting. After primering and sanding everything, today the temperature here in Ohio DROPPED. Wanting to get as much done before I headed back up to school, I went ahead and painted a few parts, but there are weird cracks in the paint now. Was this caused from the temp? Maybe bad sanding? Maybe the paint was bad? More importantly is there anyway to get rid of these cracks?

Sorry for the long post, its the first time I've talked to anyone about my project and I've just come across the paint problems. Thanks for any help you can give me!
