Sani's CR-X - After The Paint






Well taking photos in a country that rains a lot the whole year is not easy. All my brother's photos were taken using his IPhone. So dont mind the un-steady hands :p This are the latest photos taken this week.

I think black Enkei RPF1 suits this car. Reminds me of someone i know. Ha ha.

Sani's CR-X Paintwork Progress - Part 3





The repainting and the not-cheap-mini-restoration process came out from the oven just before the Aidilfitri holidays. As you can see here from the exterior it is shining and glowing. According to my brother, whatever was rusty has been changed. Whatever was loose has been tightened. Whatever was rattling has been fixed. The slow process is definitely worth the wait. The car was dismantled by pieces and problems were fixed one at a time.

Right now the car has a few things to do like new suspensions, new sport rims, new emblems and logos and a few more simple things to do.

The B16A engine is smooth and according to my brother, there has been a few visits by CR-X enthusiasts about buying the car already, even the car is not completed yet.

This mini restoration process taught my brother a lot. Perseverance is once thing, to appreciate it is another thing.

The cost for the whole process is buying another CR-X in Malaysia. Nobody said restoration was cheap. This is excluding engine overhaul and the aftermarket parts. Just plainly Honda OEM parts and body works.

What about you? Wanna try restoration works?

Sani's Parts On The Way

(Taken using my IPhone)

Today i sent 2 big parcels to my brother in Ireland. The light weighted box i sent through POSLAJU Malaysia and the heavy box i sent through normal air mail parcel service. Believe it or not both boxes costed me nearly RM1k due to the weight and also volumetric size.

If both boxes went thru POSLAJU, i think it should be slightly more than RM1k.

During the mini restoration and paintworks, there are a few things my brother decided to change and luckily i managed to get for him all the parts listed below :

  • New B16A Timing Belt + Tensioner + Seals
  • New NGK Iriway 7 Spark Plugs
  • New B16A Water Pump + Seal
  • New HKS 3-Layer Replacement Element 150
  • New EBC Ultimax "Black Stuff" Front & Rear
  • Used Type-R Alternator
  • Used Nardi 3 Spoke Steering Wheel (We swapped steering wheels)

To be honest, i was quite surprised to know that some of the parts were out of stock in certain famous shops. Common parts are bound to be sold quickly due to wear and tear.

This shipment i was supposed to include my used 5Zigen Border 304 muffler but the heavy box was overweight. When i say overweight, it was more than 10kgs and according to the rules either i have to remove something or i have to pack another new box. I had to remove the muffler and prolly send it in the next shipment.

It was a long day for me and definitely not a cheap one.

ps. Ive decided not to snap the parts as you can SEARCH them in my blog. Nothing extra ordinary, just good chosen parts.

Sani's CR-X Paintwork Progress

Sani's Crx is in dismantling mode now as you can see from the photos. He plans to do some dent fixes, change a few worn out parts and paint the car entirely.

I think the cold winter and rain has bitten this car. This minor restoration project is not gonna be cheap.

Sani's Honda CR-X (EE-8) B16A

I think it is high time for this car to be unleased and blogged before the upcoming modification and restoration process start. My brother had this car for few years now but due to the fact he was concentrating on the DA6 project, he decided to leave this pocket rocket alone.

The CR-X comes with a Mugen Si kit, Trust gearknob, Momo steering wheel and a HKS air filter. The rest is still bone stock. He plans to rebuild the engine, mod it mildly and add some oldschool cosmetics.

We will definitely see more from this car in 2009.

Stay tuned.
