death of a friend

[Phiber Optic]

thoes who have known my crx since day one, yes the red crx in the pictures is the same car i have had since 1999

i don't want to explain really everything in detail as im pretty mentally drained, cliff notes are i got rear ended a week after the crx came out of the body shop, and the next day i found a classified for a crx in vancouver, so i bought it.

pictures speak for themselves, lucky me, now my summer consists of battles with insurance and parting out my crx.

this was my crx a month ago

how did the rims make out?

[Phiber Optic]

rims and tires are fine, i removed that one rear wheel because it was rubbing too badly to move the car

[masta shark]

my condolences. you put a lot of work into that car


are you swapping over any parts?

[Phiber Optic]

swapping over: sparco seat, itr shift boot, stock knob, stock petal pads, itr wheel, stereo blockoff, stock ebrake handle, rims/tires, as well as the power plant (zc turbo)

and eventually next year i will be swapping over the jdm front end.

[silverkorn]

well things could have been a lot worse thats for sure

good luck with the rebuild

Damn!  Your crx looked mint too!  That's always the way though, you JUST get it fixed the way you want and BAM all gone.

I've had to retire my crx as well as its succummed to the cancer.  There are like 6 big ass holes through the body and the rocker panels are completely shot.  I was thinking I could fix it but the more and more I started looking the more holes I found.   Debating if I want to sell the one bike, search and search for a minty crx and then make a track car...  I picked up an 03 civic si, which feels slow as hell compared to even a stock SI crx...

this is after i had stripped it down

5 minutes before it was towed away:

[silverkorn]

wow you really stipped that thing clean, although i would have taken the front uprights

[Phatwhippin CRX]

Another one bites the dust.

[91siredrex]
