glanza179

what CRX is it, just a UK D16? or a VTEC? my one of my ex girlfriends has a UK D16 as her first car when 17 and she was only paying £1000 fully comp on it all mods declaired

she was with some specialist company though

Jim

My CRX SiR import was insured with direct line granted i had 5 years no claims but was only paying £430 fully comp went down to £390 when i put the CAT1 alarm on it

Jim

yeah they sound great without an amp, cant imagine how good they would be running off an amp

Jim

Glanza179@ that JDM crx looks awesome mate! Bet you miss it

yup miss it loads, that and my Glanza V are the only 2 cars i ever regret selling

Jim

running them all thought my Alpine headunit at the moment, may amp the 6x9s one day if i decide on a sub too.

i certailny will Mr Badger thank you

gotts have something to listen to why im saving up for the turbo lump lol

Jim

Craig_N

yes i did notice a small difference top end with the De-Cat

JAE-Glanza

if honest i dont know what size grommet it is i just went to my local motor factors and brought one that fitted as theyhae them loose in a tub

Jim

no mate real easy.

there are 2 10mm bolts at the bottom of the trim panel, then on the passenger side 3 screws at the top of the glove box, on the driveds side there are 2 screws at the top

Jim

well as i had no sounds in the car due to standard speakers all going pop lol i treated myself today to a set of rockford punch 6x9s in the rear shelf and replaced the front 4" speakers with matching rockford punch speakers also

Jim

i want to replace the front discs and pads on my glanza s in the next few weeks, can anyone recomend a good quality disc and, grooved only, and also confirm the size of disc i will need

Jim

congrats mate, i passed my exam in 3D and 2D CAD a couple of years ago and became a solidworks proffessional,

must say it opened some great doors and ive not really looked back, yeah im on a short week as my company have hit a slow patch but ill stick it out as they are a good company to be with and we have big orders already confirmed for the new year

Jim

my first attempt

photo bucket wont seem to let me have it any bigger but actual photo is 2304 x 1536

Jim

i agree Sparky mate, they are over priced cause it is so hard to get a mint CRX these days, i paid 3300 for mine but had a mate bring it in from Japan for me cause ones in the UK were selling for 4000+ and werent as nice.

Jim

this was mine when i sold it, 1989 G reg CRX SiR Glass roof model, had about 90000miles on the clock sold for £5400, was running 14.4 1/4miles and i miss my launch control

Jim

i loved my CRX mate and its the one car i regretted selling, was an imported B series Sir but the Ex had a D series and that was niooy too. i even tried to buy mine back before getting the glanza S but the girl i sold it too just aint letting it go lol.

if its a clean example id snap it up as they are top motors

Jim

nice 1 looks like im in for a few hours of sitting on my arse sanding. hope i can get mine to look like yours ryan.

Jim

if this in in the wrong section fell free to move it.

im thinking of polishing up my spare rocker cover but its a little past its best, has anyone on here polished one up before and can give me some hints or tips as to the best way to get results. or even a step by step guids

Jim

yup it was at JAE parked next to my Glanza S all weekend

Jim

few pics of one of my mates

Jim

i have 2 mates both running big BHP pulsars, one approx 450BHP the other a 700BHP in the making monster, both are lucky enough to have company cars too as neither could live with thm on a daily basis, 400+ BHP your looking at gear boxes going, usually the gear set at that power 3rd is very weak my mate is on box number 4, once you up the gear set to quaife or PAR then you can see 500BHP but then the casing itself goes.

must admit if i had the moneyi would have 1 tomorrow as a toy as ive never driven anything so aggressive however as a daily user unless your gonna be happy at maxing out at 280ish BHP id say keep the GT

Jim

its fine when you brake as only the top 2 are break lights and the one in the spoiler

Jim

Cheers guys

yeah im really happy with how its turning out micky still pleanty to do though.

Jim

well carried on today doing some of the little jobs that needed doing. i got my Fog light all sorted

didnt realise the bottom bulb holder on the glanza was a twin filliment as standard so got the od soldering iron out

Standard

New Soldered connection

Wire neatly laid with light loom

Lights on

Lights on with fog light

Jim

yeah my thoughts exactly, work have informed me today that 3 day weeks will be contiuing till end of January so i need something to do or ill crack up lol, so it will be the little bits that always get missed or the bits that you mean to get round to and never do lol

Jim

Thanks Mr Badger

why work is short im just gonna concentrate on all the little jobs that sometimes get missed, like painting some bits cleaning, sorting out my rear fog light wiring, then once cash is available again i can crack on with bigger mods

Jim
