so when i went to pick up that turbo kit i overheated the cheap dual amp that i had powering my speakers and i cant find one on cl so i took out my subs my other amp and the cargo cover and the car lost like 50 pounds there
also i realized if you take out the cargo cover and flip the divider thing down the back of a rex is gigantic like i could almost completely fit my surfboard (6') in there
if i ever do a engine swap it would totally fit back there

Damn, thats pricey. My friends Ford was only $89 so I was hoping it would be similar for mine. And yeah, Rex's are pretty spacious in the back. I could fit all of my guitar equipment for shows in the back easy, 4x12 speaker cab, head, 2 guitars and cases, and pedals.

well the part was like $80 but it has to be pressed in and the cheapest i could find around here for that was $70 if you have access to a machine shop you could press it in yourself then it would only be around $80
and my greddy catback was all rusted out so i had my exhaust shop make me a custom catback with 2 1/4 piping
its a resonator and magnaflow muffler
it sounds so nice at a constant rpm you can barely hear it but when accelerating over 3k rpms it gets nice and deep no rasp at all
and best of all it looks stock and sounds stock at idle and constant rpms
just adds to the sleepiness
oh yea you can come and steal my car since i posted the license plate #
you know because there so many other white crxs in my area you might get them confused lol
still debating whether to paint it black like the old one or leave it as is
any suggestions?
