I would keep it stripped and change that exhaust.

Added a picture as it sits now in my roomates shop.

GreeseMonkey - lol, I just looked at the tutorial on Honda-Tech and saw that...well lets hope it isnt cursed or I get a different paint job

BC - what do you mean by couldnt keep a clutch in it?

Yell88 - Call Honda for those OEM bushings? And for the rest Im looking at getting an Energy Suspension kit...would I need anything else? Would I need to replace my actual control arms, tie rods, etc...what are the signs of it all?

madsteez - I got two bumpers, one off the yellow crx, and another brand new primed black...I want to find a better condition black hood too.

93sr - cop mag? paint or muffler.

XCELR - I pretty much have the entire interior, ill take some pictures tomorrow, smells brand new, nicest one I could find (i didnt even have a crx before I found it, but knew I was going to get one). I think im missing the interior fuse cover, front door lower seat belt covers, the rear view mirror that covers the screws, and shift boot.

Pure - change exhaust or just tip? its really not that loud, but I agree, the tip is an UGLY MONSTROSITY

Good deal! If you're anal like me and WANT those miscellaneous pieces, go to Two Chiefs junkyard in Suffolk. They have a quite a few CRXs that may have the pieces you're needing.

By the way, this icon:

Makes multi-quoting a lot easier.

lol, thanks for the tip. Im FAR from the VB area, Im in SWVA, Roanoke area. How much would that stuff run me to get an estimate.

Also looking for a passenger side fender, yellow is a plus...

Also, do you or anyone know about those seats overs on ebay that are suppose to slip right on? Particularly these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...spagenameZWDVW

Opps, that's my bad to assume you were in the 757 without looking...

What stuff are you specifically looking for? When I went to Two Chiefs, I walked out with a handful of various interior trim pieces and he didn't even charge me. He just said to remember him the next time I need a transmission, LOL.

And I don't know anything about those seat cover other than that they look a bit ugly to me. Sorry.

Do you have the stock seats? Ever thought about getting them recovered?

These are the OEM bushings that I would leave rubber. Everything else can be converted to urethane.

Front Upper Control Arm Bushing: 51455-SH3-005, $11.51 x4 = $46.04

Front Lower Control Arm Inner Bushing: 51393-SH3-003, $17.19 x2 = $34.38

Front Lower Control Arm Outer Bushing: 51810-SH3-004, $13.29 x2 = $26.58

Rear Upper Control Arm Inner Bushing: 52393-SR3-004, $21.90 x2 = $43.80

Rear Upper Control Arm Outer Bushing: 52395-SH3-004, $13.73 x2 = $27.46

Rear Lower Control Arm Bushing: 52365-SH3-014, $13.73 x4 $54.92

Rear Compensator Arm Bushing: 52343-SH3-004, $11.51 x4 =$46.01

I know that it looks pricey...but there's nothing else like it when it comes to ride. Do not use the local dealership's if you do not have a hookup. There are several Honda parts online that offer these prices. One of the ones I use is "College Hills Honda"

Of course this would be the time to replace any wore out steering tie rods, ball joints or hub bearings.
Please do not forget that these new bushings will have to be pressed out and then in. So figure that into your cost or you could do it like I do...myself.
