New project CRX
Yeah, all the wiring is there, it's just disconnected, and not a priority. I have the exact same set on my Legacy so I know I have the whole wiring diagram somewhere.

I Likey.... any suspension goodies that are going on it? After all you are the suspension queen in these here parts.

$120 [8D]
it already has KYB GR-2s on it, which I wouldn't have picked, but they are only a year old, so that's better than 17 year old stock shocks
oh yeah, and those 1st gens are hot too
More progress:
I got this part in. Does it look different? [8D]

I wasn't happy with the brakes either, so I ordered new front pads and fluid. $75 shipped from RaceShopper.com, and they arrived in 24 hours!
The pads are Hawk HPS (their "street" compund -- should be sufficient for a light car)
The fluid is Ate Typ 200. The car already has Super Blue in it. This is the non-blue version of Super Blue. Exact same stuff without the dye. The idea is, you alternate the fluids, it makes it easier to see when you've completely flushed the system.

Had to fight this caliper to get the piston back in. Hope it will be OK. I greased the crap out of the sliders too.

Then there's the exhaust. It had all new piping, except for the muffler, which seems to have been rejected by the car. [8D] I got an exhaust off a 91 hatch, just to use the muffler, which looks 100x better.

But it doesn't fit right. The flange is different, and the piping isn't the right length, doesn't show too well in this picture though. Not sure what I'm going to do here. Maybe I'll get the good muffler welded onto the right axle pipe.

Moving on...

Dropped the rear suspension in 30 minutes. Fronts took longer because the shocks were kind of rusted to the forks. PB Blaster and B.F.H. fixed that.

Now to decide where to put the springs. I think I'm going to put the stiff ones in the back. I still need to cut down the dust boots, and I might need to trim the rubber spring isolators too, the rear ones don't fit right over the GC springs.

This part will probably be done tonight. I want to drive the car again.
