Bob's CR-X : The Street Bomber

I met Bob online in one of the Malaysian car forums during
my Honda days. Online and offline, he is a true honda fanatic
that i know of to this very day.

Some people call him VTEC maniac, which i reckoned the
nick was true from his crude remarks if you do not do
things right and without thinking.

Sadly to say i did not manage to capture all his cars' conversion,
restoration and refurbishment processes. I missed the last 2 Civic
EFs and 1 Accord CD. Before that, Bob had many other cars from
a Mazda to a Proton Wira converted Mivec-engined.

When it comes to restoration and detailing, sometimes he drives
far to get the parts to make sure everything is complete. He spent
most of his time making the car looks good and a bit of mild
performance under the hood to ensure his personal fun to and
from work.

I have not met Bob for quite sometime due to work and other
commitments. As i have heard rumours spreading around saying
that Bob has bought a CR-X, i believe my intention to see him is
mandatory.

When the 1st time i laid my eyes on the car, it looked like a oldschool
Royal Air Force British Tornado jet-fighter plane ready to cluster bomb
the enemies' soul to hell. The colour scheme was superb.
Camoflage looks and fierce matching rims combination. The Enkei
CPS-II looks good on the car tho. Reminds me of Louis's CR-X.

Bob rides a converted Honda CR-X EF-7 Si to EF-8 Si-R. I believe
from what i have seen, he is almost 95% complete with his restoration.
With a bit of original JDM sticker schemes and parts, it should be done
by the end of the 1st quater this year.

For those curious with the front-lip spoiler he is using, it came
from Japan and aftermarket.

He has no plans to sell the car at the moment (That's what
he said-lah and he said its 40k-50k all go ha ha).

For what he has done till to this day, RESPECT.
